Most agents hand you a home inspector's photographs and a phone number for a contractor. Randolph Scott Bell is the contractor — a Florida certified general contractor and certified roofing contractor who also holds real estate licence SL3247858, brokered through LoKation. You get a builder's read on a property while the offer is still yours to shape.
A real estate transaction turns on questions an agent usually cannot answer. How bad is that roof, really. Is the crack in the slab cosmetic or structural. What will this house cost to cool in August. Will the association approve the addition you are already picturing.
Every one of those is answered here by the same person who is writing your offer, because the licences sit together:
Certified general contractor CGC1528750 and certified roofing contractor CCC1332751. Seventeen years building in this county, self-performing crews rather than subcontracting the work out. A roof gets assessed by someone who installs them.
RESNET Certified HERS Rater RTIN 4516301, LEED Accredited Professional, and an engineering career in Danish energy before this one. In Florida the gap between a well-built envelope and a poor one is real money every month.
Community association manager CAM34850 and firm licence CAB3255. Renovation, rental, HOA and condo management, vacation home watch — the asset can stay with one accountable party after closing.
Current inventory and the buying and selling guides live in the listings section. For a search run against what you are actually looking for — including properties that never reach a portal — call and we will do it properly.
Well and septic, drainage districts, easements, wind zone and what you can actually build on a parcel out west.
Barns, paddocks, footing, and the difference between a horse property and a house with a field behind it.
Reserves, milestone inspections and SIRS — the questions that decide whether a condo is a bargain or a liability.
What is worth fixing before you sell, costed by the people who would do the work.
Deadlines, qualified intermediaries and the traps that disqualify an exchange.
Financing, title, taxes and the practical differences that catch overseas buyers out.
Real estate is one division of a vertically integrated operation running continuously since February 2009 under Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation. Buy a house that needs work, and the crews who fix it are ours. Keep it as a rental, and the management licence is ours too.
Both, and that is the point. Florida real estate sales associate licence SL3247858, brokered through LoKation, alongside certified general contractor CGC1528750 and certified roofing contractor CCC1332751. Most agents have to send you to somebody else to find out what a repair costs.
LoKation Real Estate. Every transaction, escrow deposit and commission runs through the brokerage, exactly as Florida law requires. The construction and property-management companies are separate entities, so the lines never blur.
Palm Beach County, deepest in Loxahatchee, The Acreage, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach and West Palm Beach. Randolph was born and raised in West Palm Beach with four decades of local market knowledge, which matters more out west than almost anywhere else in the county.
Yes, and that is unusual. A roof, a slab crack or a failing A/C reads very differently to a licensed contractor than to an agent working from an inspector's photographs. You get that read while the offer is still yours to shape.
It measures how much energy a house actually uses. In Florida that is the difference between a $180 power bill and a $450 one on the same square footage. RESNET Certified HERS Rater RTIN 4516301 and LEED Accredited Professional — so the running cost of a house is something we assess rather than guess at.
Yes. Acreage west of 441 comes with well and septic, drainage districts, easements and a wind zone that all change what a parcel is worth and what you can build on it. The land clearing division works that ground every week.
Usually less than sellers expect, and rarely the things they assume. Because the work can be self-performed by our own crews rather than subcontracted, the conversation about what is worth fixing is a costed one from the start.
Yes — there is a full guide for international buyers. Remote buyers get the same builder's assessment of a property, which matters a great deal when you cannot stand in the house yourself.
Yes. Community association manager licence CAM34850 and firm licence CAB3255 cover rentals, HOA and condo association management and vacation home watch.
Commission is set in the listing agreement through the brokerage and is always negotiable, so that is a conversation to have directly rather than a number to publish. What the combination genuinely saves is the markup a general contractor adds on top of subcontractors, because the crews are ours.
Call (561) 779-3213 and we will search the MLS against what you are actually looking for. The listings section carries current inventory along with the buying and selling guides.
It is how the divisions fit together. Build is the contracting side. Invest is real estate and fix-and-flip, where renovations are self-performed. Elevate is what comes after — management, energy improvements and the long-term value of the asset rather than the sale itself.
