Getting your ducks in a row to buy a house?
When you’re interviewing real estate agents to purchase a home in one of the historic districts of Jacksonville, it’s helpful to ask:
- What are the benefits of living in a historic district compared to other neighborhoods?
- Do you have experience with the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process?
- How many homes have you sold in historic districts in the last two years?
- Are you familiar with zoning regulations specific to the historic districts?
- What types of exterior maintenance or renovations might be necessary?And a bonus question! Do you know what Riverside Avondale Preservation (RAP) and Springfield Preservation and Revitalization (SPAR) do for their respective neighborhoods? (It’s not to approve or deny COA applications!)
