WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT I HAVE COME TO EXPECT
We have been looking for property in the Panama City area for a few years and decided to jump in and buy property in the current market. The large number of short sales and foreclosures is hard to grasp, so the help of a competent agent is a must. Jim Meeker went above and beyond what I have come to expect from realtors. Of the dozens of agents I have worked with I the past several years, Jim is the first that truly worked hard for us as the buyer. More than once he met with us at the last minute when we decided to make a quick trip to look at property. He would rush to find properties that fit our wishes and would make it possible for us to see them. After patiently helping us through the search, he remained actively involved in the closing. He maintained close communication with us and everyone involved; helping us close in only a couple of weeks...I can’t say enough about how satisfied we were with his help. In a day when customer service is becoming harder to find, Jim set a new standard." (Jim Meeker is a Buyers Agent on the Payne Group)

Zoning Laws >The Zoning Variance When you are selecting land on which to build your new home, be certain to investigate the zoning for that particular area. You might fall in love with rural acreage that just happens to be zoned for agricultural or recreational purposes. Since zoning uses are not interchangeable, you would need to apply for a variance in order to build a single-family residential dwelling on the land. This can be a challenging process!
Getting approval to have the zoning changed on property requires that you first give public notice, and then request approval for a variance from the government agencies that supervise enforcement of the zoning plan. You might encounter resistance from neighbors or various local interest groups who oppose the zoning changes that would allow you to build your dream home.
Your local planning department can tell you how a particular property is zoned and explain what you need to do to get a variance. Your real estate agent may be able to refer you to a local land use attorney who can guide you through the process.
