Commercial land for sale in Salem, Oregon

What to answer before you buy land

Buying land is buying what you can build on it. Most of the risk is in what you don’t find out before closing, so I help buyers and sellers get the key questions answered early:

• Feasibility: access, frontage and utilities (water, sewer, storm and power), and what it will cost to bring them to the site.
• Zoning: what’s allowed outright, what needs a land-use decision, and when any existing approvals expire.
• Environmental: past uses of the site, wetlands and flood zones, and whether you need a Phase I environmental site assessment.

I’m not an engineer, planner or environmental consultant. I’ll line up the questions, and the people who can answer them, for your due-diligence period, and I’ll help you negotiate enough time to do it.

If you own land, I’ll help you price it against real comparable sales, package what a buyer needs (plat, zoning, utilities, aerials), and market it to builders, owner-users and investors.

I work Salem, Keizer, Marion and Polk counties and the rest of the Mid-Willamette Valley with Coldwell Banker Commercial Mountain West.
