Selling in Loxahatchee or The Acreage? Randolph Scott Bell lists homes here as a Florida REALTOR® with LoKation and as a licensed Certified General Contractor, so the roof, the permit history and the repair list are read by a builder before you price the house, not after the buyer's inspector finds them.
A listing agent represents you, the seller: advising on condition and preparation, pricing, marketing, showings, offers and contract terms, and carrying the sale through inspection, appraisal and closing. This page is for sellers. If you are buying, see the buyer's agent page for Loxahatchee; if you are weighing an acreage purchase, the acreage buyer's guide shows what the buyer on the other side of your sale will be checking.
It is general guidance, not a valuation, a listing of specific homes or a promise of a sale price or time on market.
Randolph Scott Bell holds Florida real estate sales associate license SL3247858 and is brokered through LoKation. He is not an independent brokerage and does not act as broker of record. He is also a REALTOR®, a member of the National Association of REALTORS® through the local board, Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors®; that membership is separate from the licence itself.
Loxahatchee is a mailing address, not one jurisdiction. Most of The Acreage and the surrounding area is unincorporated Palm Beach County, so permits for pre-listing repairs go through the county's Planning, Zoning & Building Division. The Town of Loxahatchee Groves and the City of Westlake are separate municipalities with their own building departments. Which one applies to your parcel is the first thing to confirm.
The Acreage has a second approval layer. It sits inside the Indian Trail Improvement District, which maintains roads and drainage swales and requires its own approval for driveways and culverts, separate from the county building permit. Its assessment appears on the tax bill, and a buyer will read that line.
Wind and product approval. All of Palm Beach County is in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, so replacement windows and doors must be impact-rated or protected by approved shutters; being inland does not exempt a Loxahatchee home. The exact design wind speed depends on the code edition and the building, so it is checked per address at permit time.
HOAs vary by parcel. Much of The Acreage has no homeowners association; communities that do add resale documents, approval steps and architectural rules. Confirm whether yours has one before you set a timeline.
The owner is a Florida state-certified general contractor and roofing contractor, which means he may contract in any Florida county. In Loxahatchee he holds the Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt, a local business tax registration, not a contractor licence. The licences that back the condition read above are CGC1528750 and CCC1332751. The firm behind them, Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation, has operated continuously since February 2009.

Confirm which one your parcel is in before you pull a permit for any pre-listing repair.
Roof, window, structural and many electrical or plumbing repairs generally need a permit, and unpermitted past work is something a buyer's inspector and title search can surface. In The Acreage a driveway or culvert repair also needs approval from the Indian Trail Improvement District, separate from the county building permit. Ask before you start; do not discover it at the inspection.
Buyers on acreage routinely order a separate well water test and a septic inspection with a pump-out, because a standard home inspection does not certify either. Knowing the pump-out history and having the well tested yourself first means no surprise in the buyer's inspection period. Our acreage buyer's guide lists exactly what the other side will check.
Often yes. Roof age drives insurability and the insurance quote, which drives what a buyer's lender and underwriter will accept. As a Certified Roofing Contractor (CCC1332751) and general contractor, Randolph can read the roof's visible condition and what a repair or replacement would involve before you list. That read is context for your decision, never a guarantee of an inspection result or an insurance outcome.
It depends on the parcel. Much of The Acreage has no homeowners association, though it does have Indian Trail Improvement District assessments on the tax bill. Communities with an HOA add their own resale documents, approval steps and architectural rules. Check whether your property has one before you set a listing timeline.
