Cash Buyers for Land You Can Actually Trust
AcreageTrust is a direct cash buyer of land across the United States. Every purchase goes through a local title company or local real estate attorney, we carry title insurance on every deal, and you deal directly with Paul, the owner.
How to know you're dealing with a real cash buyer
Here is what any landowner should look for in a buyer. We do all of it.
Insists on a licensed local closing agent
A real buyer wants a licensed local title company or real estate attorney to close the deal.
Pays through the closing agent
A real buyer never asks you to pay anything up front. The money moves through the closing agent.
Carries title insurance
A real buyer protects the purchase with title insurance.
Tells you honestly when selling to them isn't best
A real buyer will say so if a different route would serve you better.
Why we use a title company and an attorney on every deal
A local title company or real estate attorney is a neutral party in your county. Here is what they do:
- Verifies that you are the owner of record
- Clears liens and other claims against the property
- Holds the money safely in escrow until everything is in order
- Makes sure the deed transfers cleanly and is recorded
We pay those fees. This protects the seller as much as it protects us.
A real example of why this matters
A seller once approached us and we negotiated a deal to purchase their land. While the title company was doing its title search, the seller couldn't produce identification proving they were the owner.
On further research, the title company discovered the actual owner of record had been deceased for several years. Someone was attempting to commit fraud and take money from us. Because we always use a title company, the process caught it before anyone was harmed.
This is exactly why we never skip the title company. The same process that protected us protects an honest seller too.
A word from Paul
I'm Paul, and I own AcreageTrust. When you sell your land, you're dealing with me directly, not a call center.
I buy land all over the country, and I want you to feel comfortable working with me. We're careful with every transaction because I want everyone protected — the seller, and honestly, me too.
On a larger transaction, if it would help you feel comfortable, I'll get on a plane and come meet you face to face. On smaller deals that usually isn't practical, because travel — flights, a rental car and so on — can run a thousand to a couple thousand dollars, so it only makes sense on a transaction of significant size. But the offer is real when the deal is big enough.
What we buy, and where
All 50 states. Here is some of what we buy:
- Vacant land
- Rural acreage
- Farmland
- Inherited parcels
- Landlocked parcels
