Doug Hooper is a licensed Florida REALTOR® specializing in land sales across Washington County, Jackson County, and the Florida Panhandle. He works with Century 21 AllPoints Realty and holds Florida real estate license SL3568532.
Doug focuses on what most agents don't — rural land. Farms, timber tracts, hunting land, homesites on acreage, and the due-diligence details that come with buying property outside city limits. Zoning, well and septic feasibility, flood zones, timber rights, agricultural exemptions, easements, and access rights are part of every land transaction, and they require an agent who understands them.
Washington County is part of Doug's core service area, along with Jackson County and the broader Panhandle region. He knows the differences between a ten-acre homesite near Chipley and a hundred-acre timber tract in the Vernon area — and can help you figure out which one fits what you're actually trying to do with the land.
Why Work With a Land Specialist
Land is not residential real estate. A house comes with a roof inspection, an appraisal based on comparable sales, and a neighborhood context that most buyers can evaluate by driving through. Land comes with questions that don't have obvious answers: Can you build here? Where does the flood zone start? Who owns the timber? Is the road the county's responsibility or yours? Will a septic system work on this soil?
These questions have answers, but finding them requires knowing where to look — county zoning maps, FEMA flood data, soil surveys, timber cruises, easement records, and conversations with county offices that a buyer from out of the area may not know exist. A land specialist saves you from discovering the answers after you've already closed.
