Choose the Right Property Before You Buy

Flat-Rate Desktop Advisory Analysis ($160/hr basis)

Buying raw land or an existing estate in Central Vermont is a legacy milestone, but our rural topography and strict regulatory environment introduce hidden risks. Before you sign a purchase contract on a property in Washington, Lamoille, Orange, or Caledonia County, know exactly which parcel is truly buildable.

Our Multi-Site Feasibility Matrix provides an early-stage desktop sweep across 2 to 3 competing properties you are actively considering.

What We Analyze:

• Zoning & Setbacks: Town, Village, Municipal bylaws, overlay districts, and potential variance requirements.

• Environmental & Permitting Constraints: High-level identification of steep slopes, septic systems/wastewater/perc challenges, or Act 250 triggers that could add complexity, cost, and impacts to project construction timetable.

• Architectural Infrastructure: Age of structures, Optimal solar orientation for passive design or custom PV micro-grid/EV loop integration. Review of interior and exterior photos from real estate listings, any floor plans, or attached site plans.

• Cost Factors: High-level low to high range hard costs to for new construction, renovation, or additons for the site local area.

The Deliverable:

You receive a clean, 2-3 page report with a comparative grid score ranking each property by permitting risk, site development costs, and architectural potential, followed by a 30-minute strategic virtual weekend or weeknight debrief.

Booking & Concierge Scheduling:

We do not use automated scheduling calendars for our diagnostic consulting services. Because site constraints and geographic drive times vary across our rural counties, we handle scheduling personally. Once your order is securely placed and your property intake data is submitted, Stephen will get in touch directly via email or phone within 24 to 48 hours to coordinate and lock in your specific Saturday or Sunday field window, or if a virtual consultation level is selected, it would also include evenings during the week between 7-10pm.

Logistics: Desktop audits are prepared strictly over weeknights and or weekends to meet fast-paced real estate timelines. This flat-rate package covers up to 3 site profiles. If the buyers keep adding more to assess, we will charge hourly after the initial three. with equivalent expansion of the comparative matrix.
