Buying and building on Pender Island

Dockside has been helping people with buying property and building dream homes, recreational properties, and retirement getaways on Pender Island since the company's very beginnings.  Building your own home can be an incredibly rewarding experience and with Pender Island's mild climate, enchanting wildlife, friendly neighbours, and stunning ocean views, we think that you'll be very happy with your decision to live here.

Getting Started

Before you build and before you start looking for a plot of land, you should have at least a rough idea of what type of home you'd like to build.  Do you envision a waterfront oasis where you can wake up each morning to the sound of ocean waves crashing against the shore, or do you envision a private hillside retreat with stunning panoramic ocean views, gorgeous sunsets, and a little peace and tranquility?  With this answer in mind, we can start to look for the ideal plot of land.

Searching For Land

Once you know what type of land you're looking for, it's time to start searching.  We've set up some great tools within our Island VIP Services to help you find the perfect plot of land.  We think that this is the best way to search, and you can even sign up to receive notices by email when new land gets listed for sale (you may cancel these emails at any time).  If you'd like to sign up for FREE, you can have full access to all of our tools in less than 30 seconds.

Of course, using the Internet to search for land isn't for everyone, and our friendly team of knowledgeable Realtors is always here to help if that's the case for you.  Everyone on our team lives here on the Islands, and we'd be more than happy to show you around Pender and work with you to find the perfect plot of land.  Just contact our office and our courteous staff will help you get started.

Finding Quality Tradespeople

Once you have successfully purchased your land, finding quality tradespeople is the next challenge you'll face.  Fortunately, over the years we've worked with a number of Pender Island contractors and tradespeople, and we've created an extensive directory of trusted workmen that can help you build or improve your home.
