Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a real estate agent?
Nope — that's the point. You sell straight to us, so there's nobody taking a cut. Land agents charge 6-10% when they bother with land at all; with us that money stays yours.
I inherited land in another state. Can you still buy it?
Absolutely — a large share of our deals are out-of-state inheritances. Everything can be handled remotely with electronic documents and a mobile notary if needed.
Do I have to visit the property or meet you in person?
Never. We do remote closings as a matter of routine — most sellers we work with haven't seen their land in years.
Can you buy land that has a lien on it?
Usually yes. The lien gets satisfied out of the closing funds — we'll lay out the exact numbers for you before you commit to anything.
Why shouldn't I just list it with an agent?
If your parcel is prime and you're patient, a listing might squeeze out more. But factor in a year of waiting, 6-10% commission, and carrying costs — direct usually wins for anyone who values certainty.
I don't have a survey. Is that a problem?
Not for us. We buy based on county records and our own due diligence. If a survey is needed for closing, we order and pay for it.
How do I know your offer is fair?
We'll show you the comparable sales behind it — then go get a second opinion if you'd like. We'd rather you be confident than rushed.
How do you come up with your offer price?
We look at recent comparable land sales nearby, then adjust for access, zoning, usability, topography, and any issues like liens or back taxes. We'll walk you through our math if you ask.
Do you buy mineral rights too?
We typically buy surface rights; mineral rights depend on the state and situation. Tell us what you own and we'll be straight about what we can include.
My parcel is landlocked with no road access. Will you still buy it?
Yes. No legal access lowers the value, but we've bought plenty of landlocked parcels. It's a pricing factor, not a dealbreaker.
What happens at closing?
The title company draws up the deed and settlement statement, you sign (in person or electronically), and the wire hits your account. Simple, boring, done.
Several family members inherited the land together. Can you still buy it?
Yes, though all owners (or their authorized representatives) will need to sign. We've coordinated many multi-heir closings and can walk everyone through it.
There's junk and overgrowth on the land. Do I need to clean it up?
Please don't — save your weekends. We buy it exactly as it sits: brush, junk, old sheds, everything.
