What land owners actually ask us — including the questions where the honest answer isn't what you'd want to hear.
Ideally the parcel number (APN or tax ID) plus the county and state. If you don't have it, your name as it appears on the deed and the county is usually enough — we can find the parcel in the assessor's records.
It's printed on any property tax bill or assessment notice. Most county assessor websites also let you search by owner name. If you're stuck, call us and we'll look.
No, and it's the most common situation we deal with. We don't need photos — we work from public records, plat maps, and aerial imagery.
No. No fee for an offer, no fee if you decline, and we never ask sellers for money. If any land buyer asks you for an upfront payment, walk away.
No. Don't pay for one to get an offer. If a survey turns out to be needed for closing, that's our cost.
No. We buy land in whatever state it's in, including completely overgrown and impassable.
No — we buy landlocked parcels deliberately. It does affect value, sometimes substantially, and we'll be straight with you about that.
Wetlands, floodplain, steep slope, failed perc, restrictive zoning — all normal for us. Unbuildable doesn't automatically mean worthless; land can still have recreational, buffer, timber, or neighbour value.
We research both, but our research isn't an authority. Only the county or city with jurisdiction can answer it definitively, and if it matters to your own plans you should get it from them in writing.
Yes, and it's one of the most common reasons people call. What's owed is normally paid out of proceeds at closing. You don't have to clear it first.
Then we'll tell you. Sometimes a parcel genuinely has negative value once arrears are counted, and pretending otherwise would waste your time.
No. Dues and any recorded lien are settled at closing, the same way as taxes.
Generally no — the obligation follows recorded ownership until title actually transfers to someone else. That's a legal question for an attorney in that state, but "walking away" from land usually doesn't work the way people hope.
No, and we'd rather say so plainly. A cash offer on vacant land is a wholesale offer. We take on the discount because we take on the time, cost, and uncertainty of finding an eventual buyer for something that is by definition hard to sell. What you get instead is a firm number now, no commission, no due-diligence spend, and no more tax bills.
Legal access, utilities, zoning and permitted use, usable versus total acreage, flood and wetland status, title condition, location within the county, and actual closed land sales nearby. The full breakdown is here.
If the number matters to you, yes — a land-specialist appraiser or a local land broker. We think that's a sensible thing to do before accepting any offer, ours included.
Not a real one. Anyone who quotes a firm price before researching access, zoning, and title is guessing or planning to revise it later.
A clean parcel with clear title moves quickly. One with unpaid taxes, liens, or a chain of heirs takes longer, because county records and title work set the pace. We won't give you a guaranteed date before we've seen title.
No. Electronic signature, with a mobile or remote notary where notarisation is required. Funds are wired to you.
A title company or closing attorney in the state where the parcel sits.
Yes, and please do send them all at once — including parcels in different counties or states.
No. We're the buyer. There's no commission because there's no agent on our side. If listing is better for your situation, we'll tell you.
Ask us directly — including the ones where the honest answer is that you should talk to your own attorney or CPA.
