Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from landowners.
How do you determine land value?
We review county records, parcel data, and GIS mapping for the property before we ever make contact. That research — location, access, ownership history, and property characteristics — is what our offer is based on, not a flat per-acre guess.
Do I have to pay closing costs?
No. We cover closing costs directly. Liens are evaluated individually, and how one affects your offer depends on what's found during title review — we can't promise up front that every lien can be cleared. The rare exception is a lien that's too costly or legally impossible to clear — if that's the case with your property, we'll tell you plainly rather than promise something we can't deliver.
What kinds of land do you buy?
We buy all types of land and property — we aren't limited to just raw, vacant lots. We evaluate every property individually based on its unique location and condition. In fact, we already did a preliminary review of your specific property before reaching out, which is how we determined the custom price we sent you.
How long does closing take?
Because we purchase with our own capital, there's no bank financing to wait on. Once we agree on a price, the timeline is mostly set by how quickly title work and paperwork can be completed, not by a lender's approval process.
Can inherited land be sold?
Yes — inherited property is one of the more common situations we work with. If there are multiple heirs or open questions about title, our team, including a licensed real estate agent, a title company, and a surveyor when needed, helps sort out what's required before closing.
What if there are multiple heirs, or an owner passed away without a will?
This is common with inherited land, and it can add real complexity. When someone passes away without a will, ownership generally passes according to state law — often to a surviving spouse first, then children, and further down the family line if an heir has also passed away. That can mean several people need to be identified before a sale is possible, and in most cases, every heir needs to agree to move forward. We're glad to talk through what's involved for your specific situation, but for anything specific to your state or family circumstances, we'd also recommend speaking with a probate attorney.
What if I've lost the deed or can't find the paperwork?
That's fine — many landowners don't have the original deed handy, especially for inherited or older property. Most of what we need can be pulled directly from county records as part of our research, so missing paperwork on your end usually isn't a dealbreaker.
I live in a different state than the property. Does that complicate things?
Not usually. Most of our review happens through county records and mapping tools rather than an in-person visit, and closing can typically be coordinated remotely through the title company.
How is this different from listing with a real estate agent?
There's no marketing period, no showings, and no financing contingency, since we purchase with our own capital. A full side-by-side comparison is on our About page.
Still Have Questions?
If your situation doesn't quite match what's above, just ask — every property is a little different, and there's no obligation to move forward.
