Question 1

What types of land do you buy?

Accepted Answer

All kinds. Residential lots, farmland, rural acreage, timberland — if it's vacant land, we're interested. Size doesn't matter much to us either: whether it's a small lot or a large parcel, we're happy to take a look and make you an honest cash offer.

Question 2

How do you calculate your offer?

Accepted Answer

We start with recent comparable sales in your county, then factor in access, zoning, topography, and current market demand to land on a real cash price. Because we buy directly and cover all the closing costs, the number reflects the speed and certainty of a no-hassle sale — you close fast and walk away with money in hand. Ask anytime and we're happy to walk you through how we got there.

Question 3

Why is your offer lower than Zillow's estimate?

Accepted Answer

Zillow's "Zestimate" for vacant land is notoriously inaccurate — it's an algorithm built for houses, not raw acreage. Real land values come from actual recent sales of similar parcels nearby, which is what we use. The trade-off for a slightly lower price is speed, certainty, and zero out-of-pocket cost to you.

Question 4

What if I owe back taxes?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem. Back taxes get paid out of your sale proceeds at closing — you don't bring any money to the table. We handle the title company coordination so the county is paid and the title is clear before the deed transfers.

Question 5

What if the land is in a trust or probate?

Accepted Answer

We buy land from trusts, estates, and probate situations regularly. The title company will need a few extra documents (trust certificate, letters testamentary, etc.), but we walk you through what to gather. Probate sales sometimes take a bit longer to close, but we're patient.

Question 6

What if my land has problems — no utilities, wetlands, or an odd shape?

Accepted Answer

Those are often exactly the parcels we're most interested in. No utilities, wetlands, steep or oddly shaped ground, property that's sat unsold for years — we specialize in land that's hard to sell the traditional way. Tell us what you've got; very little scares us off.

Question 7

Do I pay anything out of pocket?

Accepted Answer

No. We cover the title work, recording fees, and closing costs. Whatever number we agree on is the number you receive — wired to your bank or sent as a check at closing.

Question 8

Do you need to visit or inspect my property?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. We do our homework remotely — county records, maps, aerial imagery, and recent comparable sales — so you don't need to meet anyone on-site or show the land. If we ever want eyes on it, we arrange that ourselves, at no cost or hassle to you.

Question 9

How soon will I hear back after I submit my information?

Accepted Answer

Quickly. We review every submission personally — usually within a day or two — and reach out by phone or email with any questions or an offer. You'll never drop into a black hole wondering if anyone saw it.

Question 10

What happens after I accept your offer?

Accepted Answer

Accepting is really the start of an easy process, not the end. We send a simple purchase agreement (our written offer at the price we agreed on), you sign electronically, and we open the file with a licensed title company. They run a title search to confirm everything's clear, handle the paperwork, and set a closing date that works for you. At closing you get paid — wire or check — and the deed transfers. We keep you posted at every step.

Question 11

Can your offer change after we agree on a price?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is that the price we agree on is the price you get. During a short review period we confirm a few things — clear title, legal access, no surprises like undisclosed liens. If everything checks out as expected, the number stands. If something material turns up that none of us knew about, we'll talk it through openly — no last-minute pressure or games.

Question 12

How fast can we close?

Accepted Answer

For straightforward parcels with clean title, we typically close in 14–21 days. If there's back taxes, probate, or title cleanup needed, it can take 30–60 days. We'll give you a realistic timeline as soon as we review your property.

Question 13

How did you find me, and why are you contacting me about my land?

Accepted Answer

Property ownership is public record, so we research county data to find landowners who might be open to selling. We're a private land-investing company — not affiliated with the county, the tax office, or any government agency. And if you'd rather we not reach out again, just say so and we'll take you off our list.

Question 14

What is an APN?

Accepted Answer

APN stands for Assessor's Parcel Number — a unique ID the county assigns to every piece of property for tax purposes. It's the fastest way to look up a specific parcel on a county GIS map or tax record. You'll find your APN on your property tax bill or on the county assessor's website.

Question 15

What's the difference between a quitclaim and a warranty deed?

Accepted Answer

A warranty deed guarantees that the seller owns the property free of liens and defends the title against future claims — it's the gold standard. A quitclaim deed simply transfers whatever interest the seller has, with no guarantees. We use warranty deeds (or special warranty deeds) on every transaction so everyone is fully protected.

Question 16

Do I need to do anything to prepare — a survey, cleanup, or paperwork?

Accepted Answer

No. You don't need to order a survey, clear the land, or track down documents. The title company handles the title work, and we'll tell you the few simple things we need (like your APN) along the way. Selling to us is meant to be the easy option.

Question 17

What states do you buy land in?

Accepted Answer

We buy vacant land in all 50 states, and we evaluate every parcel that comes through — wherever it's located. Submit your land through our Sell Your Land form and we'll get back to you within a day or two.
