Seller Questions, Answered

Once we agree on a price and sign the purchase agreement, we typically close in 10 days. That includes our land inspection and the title company's title search.

No. We buy directly, so there are no agent commissions and no fees, and we cover the closing costs. Our offer is net to you — the only deductions are existing liens or unpaid taxes on the property, and property taxes are prorated for the current year.

The title company runs a title search that finds any liens or back taxes. In many cases we can still buy the property: with your consent, those amounts are paid out of the sale proceeds at closing, so you never come out of pocket.

The title company issues your funds after closing — by standard check, overnight check, or wire transfer, whichever you prefer.

All types of vacant land: in-town lots, raw and undeveloped acreage, and farm or ranch land. Lots with utilities, paved road access, or water and sewer are our highest priority, but we make offers on land without them too.

Yes. We review your property and send a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can take it or leave it — there is no cost and no commitment for requesting one.

Only our land inspection. Because we pay close to market value, we verify the land before closing — checking for things like grading or vegetation that would need clearing. If the land does not pass inspection, the sale simply ends and you are never charged anything.

No. Selling to a direct buyer means no listing, no showings, and no commission. An agent can make sense if your land is premium and you can wait months for a retail buyer — we explain the trade-offs honestly in our selling guide.

We look at recent sales of comparable parcels nearby, then adjust for road access, utilities, shape and size, wetlands or flood zones, zoning, and the work needed to make the lot usable. Because we buy for investment and pay cash, our offer is below full retail — but it is net to you, with no commissions, no fees, and no months of waiting.

Usually, yes. Inherited and probate property is common in land sales — the title company confirms who has authority to sign and what documents are needed. If the estate still needs a probate step, we can often wait for it to complete.

Yes — most of our sellers never visit the property. The purchase agreement is signed electronically, the closing documents are sent to you for notarization where you live (a mail-away closing), and your funds arrive by check or wire.

Usually just a government-issued ID for closing. It helps to have your parcel number (APN) or a copy of the deed or tax bill, but we can look most of that up from the county records if you do not have it.

Not a problem. Your deed is recorded in the county public records — the title company pulls the recorded copy during the title search. Losing your paper copy does not affect your ownership.

Possibly — profit on a land sale can be subject to capital-gains tax depending on what you paid, how long you owned it, and your situation. We are not tax advisors, so please check with a tax professional about your specific case.

Often, yes. Unpaid dues or HOA liens are found in the title search and, like other liens, are typically settled out of the sale proceeds at closing with your consent.

We make offers on most land, including landlocked parcels and lots with wetlands or other build limitations. Access and buildable condition affect the price, but they rarely make a parcel unsellable.

Three checks: a legitimate buyer never asks you to pay anything upfront; the money moves through a licensed, independent title company (never directly between you and the buyer); and you can always reach a real person. We welcome all three — call us and ask anything.

If your land is under an active listing agreement, talk to your agent first — our offer is not a solicitation of that listing. Once the agreement ends, or if your agent brings us the deal, we are glad to make an offer.
