The process
How Selling Your Land to Us Works — Start to Finish
No listings, no showings, no waiting on a buyer's bank. Here is every step between the form on this page and the money in your account — and what we're doing behind the scenes at each one.
Six steps
The Entire Process, Step by Step
Most sellers spend well under an hour of their own time on the whole sale. Here's where that hour goes:
Request your free offer
Fill out the short form with your name, contact details, and the property's county and state — or the parcel number from your tax bill. It takes about two minutes, and there's no obligation.
We research your property
We pull the county records for your parcel and study comparable land sales nearby, road access, shape and usability, flood zones and wetlands, and any property taxes owed. Real research — not a formula letter.
Review your written cash offer
Within 24 hours we send a written cash offer by email. There's no pressure and no countdown clock — take your time, ask us questions, and accept or decline. Either answer is fine.
Sign a simple purchase agreement
If you accept, we email a short, plain-English purchase agreement that states the price and who pays what (we pay standard closing costs). You're welcome to have your own attorney review it before signing.
The title company opens escrow
A licensed title company or closing attorney in your property's state runs a title search, prepares the deed, and settles any back taxes or liens directly out of the sale proceeds. You don't pay those out of pocket.
Get paid at closing
You sign the deed in front of a notary — near you, or a mobile notary can come to you — and receive your funds by check or wire. Most sales close within 2–4 weeks of an accepted offer.
Behind the scenes
What We Research Before Making an Offer
Every offer starts with your parcel's county records: the legal description, assessed value, tax status, and recorded plat. From there we look at what comparable parcels have actually sold for nearby — not asking prices, closed sales. We check road access and legal easements, the lot's shape and buildability, and mapped flood zones or wetlands, because those are the same things any future buyer will ask us about.
This is why our offer is a real number and not a teaser. When we put it in writing, we intend to close at that price.
What You'll Need
Usually far less than sellers expect:
- A government-issued ID — for the notary at signing.
- Your parcel information — the parcel or APN number from a tax bill, or simply the county and your name as it appears on the deed. We can look up the rest.
- Estate paperwork, if the land was inherited — the title company will tell you exactly what's needed. In many cases it's simpler than people fear, and we've bought many inherited parcels.
You do not need a survey, an appraisal, or photos of the property. We handle our own research.
Closing Remotely
You never need to visit the property or meet us in person. The purchase agreement is signed by email. The closing documents arrive by mail or email, and the one signature that must be notarized — the deed — can be done at a bank, a UPS store, or with a mobile notary who comes to you. Funds are sent by check or wire from the title company, not from us directly.
Questions about a specific situation — back taxes, probate, a lot you've never seen? The FAQ covers the common ones, or just mention it in the form and we'll address it in your offer email.
