Q: Do you pay market value for vacant land?
A: We buy land directly (we’re not listing it). So our offer is usually below a “retail” listing price. In return, you get a simple sale: no showings, no marketing, and no waiting on a buyer. If your top priority is getting the highest possible price, listing with an agent may be a better fit.
Q: How do you determine an offer price for vacant land?
A: We look at the basics and the risk: location, size, access, terrain/slope, utilities (if any), possible uses, and nearby sales/listings. We also factor in title work and any known issues (like back taxes or liens). If we make an offer, we’ll explain what we based it on.
Q: What types of vacant land do you buy?
A: We focus on vacant / raw land in Tennessee. That includes rural acreage and smaller lots. We do not buy houses. If you’re not sure what you have, send the county and parcel/APN and we’ll take a look. You can also start here.
Q: Can I sell vacant land as-is?
A: Yes. Most owners sell as-is. You usually don’t need to clear, clean up, or improve anything for us to review it.
Q: Are there fees or commissions when selling land to you?
A: There’s no agent commission because we’re the buyer. Closing costs depend on the property and the title work. In many cases, we can cover typical closing costs, but it’s not guaranteed. The title company will provide a settlement statement so you can see the numbers before you sign.
Q: Can I sell land with back taxes?
A: Sometimes. It depends on the amount and what the title company finds. In many cases, back taxes have to be paid at closing (often out of sale proceeds). If you’re not sure, tell us what you know and we’ll check.
Q: Can I sell land with a lien?
A: Sometimes. It depends on the lien type and what the title company finds. Liens often need to be handled at closing. If you don’t have details, that’s fine—share what you know and we’ll let you know what the title company says.
Q: Do you buy land with no road access?
A: Sometimes. Access matters a lot, so we review it case-by-case. If you don’t know, that’s fine—send the parcel/APN and we’ll look it up.
Q: Do you buy landlocked property?
A: Sometimes. “Landlocked” can mean different things (no deeded access, no recorded easement, etc.). If you’re unsure, send the parcel/APN and any notes you have. We’ll review what we can and tell you if it’s a fit.
Q: Do I need a survey to sell vacant land?
A: Usually no. If a survey is needed for a specific reason, the title company can explain the options.
Q: How long does it take to close when selling land?
A: It depends on title work and how quickly we can get everything needed from the seller(s). Sometimes it can be a couple weeks, and sometimes it takes longer. Title work is usually the main driver. If you accept an offer, we’ll coordinate with the title company and keep you updated. You can see the basic steps here..
Q: How does closing work when you sell land?
A: We close through a title company. They handle the paperwork, title search, and closing documents. Many sellers can sign remotely if they’re out of state (the title company will confirm what’s needed).
Q: Can I sell inherited land or land with multiple owners?
A: Yes, sometimes. That’s common. The title company will confirm who needs to sign. If probate or estate paperwork is needed, the process can take longer, but we can still review the property and talk through next steps.
Q: If I request an offer, am I obligated to sell?
A: No. If we make an offer, you can accept it or decline it. No pressure.
