Commercial property on Route 360 in Northumberland County wanted for a local church....  Please call me if you have 5 acres or more.

Thanks for visiting www.NorthernNeckRealEstate.com a portal to information about VIrginia's Northern Neck peninsula, which is bordered by the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay and Rappahannock River.  If you would like to information mailed or follow up on any property, you may either e-mail tomkimmitt@rivnet.net or call Tom at (804)453-9081.  Port & Starboard Real Estate operates from Olverson's Lodge Creek Marina and we will gladly show property by boat if you are interested.

IMPORTANT INFO BELOW: Why you need a "Buyers Agent"......
Buying property on the Northern Neck is different than you may be accustomed to.  We move a little slower, speak a little slower and have things like the Chesapeake Bay Act, on-site sewage disposal systems, controlling access depths and pier depths(which can be vastly different and when you look at the MLS info, it tells you the anticipated depth at the end of your pier, but not whether or not you have that much depth in a channel to get your boat to the Bay or river), on-site wells, shoreline protection, Flood Zones ( www.floodsmart.gov ), VA State Police sex offender registry ( http://sex-offender.vsp.virginia.gov/sor/zipSearch.html), the Chesapeake Bay Act (http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/chesapeake_bay_local_assistance/theact.shtml ).  There are a lot of things to think about in making your decision outside of the basics of real estate showings and negotiations and I'll be happy to help. 

I would like the opportunity to earn your trust and your business and pledge to represent YOUR interests, so please call me (804)453-9081 or e-mail tomkimmitt@rivnet.net and tell me what you hope to accomplish and I'll do my best to accommodate you.  In the 10 years I have lived here, I have been involved with Little League baseball, softball & soccer, Saint Mary's Episcopal Church in Fleeton, Saint Stephens Anglican Church in Heathsville,  The Church of the Nazirene in White Stone, The Northumberland County Volunteer Rescue Squad, the Animal Welfare League and I was the VP of the Northern Neck Assn of Realtors.  I am a full time resident of Heathsville in Northumberland County.
