| | Q. | How do I get an appraisal done on my four vacant lots in Port Labelle? Is there a way to find a reputable appraiser and lawyer to handle the sale of these lots. Thank you | | A. | Patience and persistence is your best bet here. The best professionals in any category, appraiers and lawyers included, are usually the busiest. I was surprised we did not have a recommendation for the Greater LaBelle area... hummm... we need to work with the realtors more closely there.
Here is a tactic that usually works pretty well. Contact several independent real estate companies in the area and ask for a recommendation of who they prefer in their transactions. You might find the same name popping up several times. Property is Port LaBelle has appreciated quite a bit recently, so be careful and good luck!
| | Q. | I own an undeveloped lot in Port LaBelle, Unit 12.
Lately I have received numerous post cards, letters, and phone calls wanting to buy my lot.
After being essentially dormant for many years, what is happening in Port LaBelle to generate this interest? | | A. | There are several reasons for the renewed interest. First, the 152 mile long Okeechobee Waterway chaining the Caloosahatchee to Lake Okeechobee to the St. Lucie Canal is recognized as a valuable cross Florida connector. Second Port La Belle is a fuel dock and an important mid-way point. Third buildup of the coastlines these connect has increased a desire for population growth the hearts of Florida. But the most recent interest generator has been the four hurricanes that hit the Florida coast this summer. Boaters have learned the advantages of having an inland-port creating an economic demand for a limited economic supply.
