Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about selling your Florida land to us. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.
How do you come up with your offer?
We look at what similar land near yours has actually sold for recently, then adjust for the things that affect value: lot size, road access, power and water, wetlands or flood zones, zoning, and anything owed on the property.
Our offers are below full retail value. We pay cash, cover the closing costs, and take on the work and risk of owning the land. If getting top dollar matters more to you than speed and simplicity, listing with a real estate agent may get you more, and we will tell you that.
How long does it take?
Most sales close in 2 to 4 weeks from the day you sign the purchase agreement. The title company needs that time to research the property and prepare the documents.
It can take longer when something needs to be cleared up first, such as an estate that has not been through probate or a lien that has to be negotiated. We will tell you up front if we expect a delay.
Who pays the closing costs?
We do. We pay the title company fees and the standard closing costs, and there are no agent commissions because no agents are involved.
Debts attached to the property itself, such as unpaid property taxes or liens, are paid off from the sale proceeds at closing. We factor those into the offer so you know your bottom line before you sign anything.
I owe back taxes on the land. Can I still sell?
Yes, in most cases. Unpaid property taxes are usually paid off at closing out of the sale proceeds, so you do not have to come up with the money first.
If the taxes have gone unpaid for a few years, the county may be moving toward a tax deed sale. Reach out as soon as you can, because there is a deadline after which the property can no longer be sold by you.
What if there are liens on the property?
Liens are common on vacant land. The usual ones are code enforcement fines, mowing or cleanup charges, and unpaid association dues.
The title company searches for liens before closing. Most can be paid from the sale proceeds, and some can be reduced. If the liens add up to more than the land is worth, we will let you know honestly whether a sale can still work.
I inherited the land. Can I sell it?
Usually, yes. What it takes depends on how the property was titled and whether an estate was opened. Sometimes the paperwork is simple, and sometimes a Florida probate is needed before the land can change hands.
The title company will tell us exactly what is required, and we can walk you through it. We are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice, so for questions about an estate you should talk to a probate attorney.
I live out of state. Do I have to come to Florida?
No. Most of the owners we buy from live in other states. The title company sends you the closing documents, you sign them with a notary near you, and your money is sent by wire or check.
You also do not need to visit the land, clean it up, or meet anyone at the property.
Am I committed to anything if I fill out the form?
No. Filling out the form just lets us look up your property and get in touch. If we make an offer, you can accept it, turn it down, or take time to think about it. There is no cost either way.
How do I know the sale is handled properly?
Every purchase closes through a licensed Florida title company or closing attorney. They hold the funds, check the title, record the deed, and pay you directly. You never have to send us money for anything.
What kind of land do you buy?
Vacant residential lots and rural acreage in Florida. Wooded or cleared, paved road or dirt road, with or without utilities. We do not buy houses, and there are some parcels we have to pass on, but it never hurts to ask.
These answers are general information, not legal or tax advice. Every property is different, so talk to an attorney or tax professional about your own situation.
