How do I sell my land for cash?

Contact a direct land buyer with the property address, county, and approximate acreage. We research the parcel, check access and title, and send a written offer within one business day. If you accept, closing happens through a local title company or real estate attorney, usually in two to three weeks. You don't need an agent, a survey, or an appraisal.

How fast can I sell my land?

Most cash sales close in two to three weeks, limited mainly by how long the title company takes. Listing with an agent typically takes six to twelve months for land.

Do I need a real estate agent to sell my land?

No. You can sell directly to a buyer like us, avoiding commissions of roughly 6 to 10 percent. An agent is worth using when you want maximum retail price and can wait.

Will you buy land with back taxes owed?

Usually yes. In most cases the back taxes are paid out of the closing proceeds, so you don't need to settle them first.

Can I sell land I inherited?

Yes, including property with multiple heirs. If the estate hasn't been through probate we can often work alongside that process; tell us the situation and we'll tell you what's realistic.

How do you decide what to offer?

It depends on the property — location, access, road frontage, utilities, terrain, and what the county allows are the biggest factors. A cash offer reflects that we close fast, pay all costs, and take the property as-is. If your land is in a growing market, there may be a stronger route than a straight cash sale, and we'll tell you if we see one.

Is there any cost or obligation to get an offer?

None. You can take our offer to another buyer or list with an agent. We'd rather you make the right decision.

How much land will you buy?

Anything from a single vacant lot up to several hundred acres.

How it works

1
Tell us about your property
Call or submit the form. We need the address or parcel number, the county, and roughly how many acres. You don't need a survey, an appraisal, or a title search.
2
We research and make an offer — within one business day
We pull county records, check access and zoning, review recent comparable sales, and send a written cash offer. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
3
You choose a closing date and we pay all costs
Every transaction closes through a local title company or local real estate attorney in your area, which protects you as much as us. We pay those fees plus closing and recording costs. Simple deals typically close in two to three weeks. Complex ones (multiple heirs, unclear title, back taxes, access issues) can take longer, and we tell you upfront. You pick the date and walk away with a check or wire, nothing deducted.

What determines our offer

There's no formula we can put on a website, and we'd rather not pretend otherwise. What we can pay depends on where your land sits and what can realistically be done with it.

Location and market: Where the land sits and how active the area is.
Access: Road frontage, a deeded easement, or landlocked.
The land itself: Wooded, cleared, level, sloped, or wet.
Utilities: What is at the road and what it costs to bring in.
Size and shape: Whether it can be divided.
Zoning and what's allowed: What the county lets a buyer do with it.

Here's the part most land buyers won't tell you: there's often more than one way to sell a piece of land, and the fast cash sale isn't always the best one for the owner. If your property sits in a growing market, we may be able to take it to a regional builder or developer instead — a different kind of transaction, one we do regularly, and one that can be worth considerably more to you. We won't know which route fits until we look. That takes one phone call.

We'll be straight with you: if your land is easy to sell, has good road access, and you're not in a hurry, listing it with a good land agent will usually net you more money. A cash sale is the right choice when time, certainty, or not wanting the hassle matter more than squeezing out the last dollar.

What kind of land we buy

Vacant lots and raw land
Farmland and agricultural land
Rural acreage and timberland
Inherited land, including property held by multiple heirs
Land with back taxes owed (often paid at closing)
Landlocked parcels or land with access problems
Land you inherited in a state you don't live in

We buy in any condition. You don't need to clear it, survey it, or resolve title problems before talking to us.

Don't want to sell all of it? Ask about Split & Sell.

Most land buyers want the whole parcel. We don't have to have it. If you want to keep your house, your road frontage, or the part you use, we can buy just a portion.

We pay 100% of the subdivision costs — survey, civil engineering, and county filing fees.

You keep what matters and walk away with cash for the rest. No other land buyer we know of pays for the split.
