How the Process Works
Selling your land to Vacant Land Deals is designed to be simple, transparent, and fast. Here's exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Step 1: Submit Your Property
Fill out the short form on the Get an Offer page with basic property details — county, state, APN/parcel number, asking price if you have one, and any relevant context. It takes under 5 minutes and no documents are required upfront.
Step 2: We Review and Research
After submission, our team reviews county records, comparable sales, zoning, access, and utilities to assess value. No inspections or in-person visits are required at this stage. The typical review period is 2-5 business days.
Step 3: Receive a Cash Offer
If the parcel fits our buying criteria, you'll receive a written cash offer with no obligation to accept. The offer clearly states the purchase price, proposed closing timeline, and any contingencies. We encourage you to ask questions — we're happy to walk you through everything.
Step 4: Close and Get Paid
Once you accept, a title company handles all paperwork and closing. You pay zero commissions, fees, or closing costs — those are covered by Vacant Land Deals. Closing typically occurs within 21 days of acceptance. Payment is delivered at closing via wire transfer or check per your preference.
Close in as few as 21 days
Faster Than Any Traditional Sale
Traditional real estate transactions take 30 to 90 days on average — and that's assuming no financing falls through. When you sell directly to Vacant Land Deals, there are no banks, no appraisals, no listing periods, and no waiting. We move on your timeline, not the market's.
- Traditional sale: 30-90+ days, agent commissions, buyer financing risk
- Vacant Land Deals: As few as 21 days, no commissions, all-cash purchase, no financing contingency
You Pay Absolutely Nothing to Sell
No commissions. No closing costs. No hidden fees. Vacant Land Deals covers everything — you walk away with the full agreed purchase price.
Here's What We Cover on Your Behalf
- Title search and title insurance
- Escrow and closing fees
- Recording fees
- Any outstanding HOA transfer fees (where applicable)
- Document preparation
There are no deductions from your offer amount at closing. The number we put in writing is the number you receive. If any unexpected issue arises during due diligence that changes the offer, we notify you immediately — you are never surprised at the closing table.
Common Questions From Sellers
We believe in full transparency. If your question isn't answered here, reach out directly — we're happy to explain anything before you submit.
How do you calculate your offer price?
We research recent comparable vacant land sales in your county, evaluate access and road frontage, review zoning and permitted uses, check for utilities and water availability, and factor in the cost and time to resell. We aim to make a fair offer that reflects market conditions while allowing us to operate as a business. Our offers are straightforward — we'll walk you through our reasoning if you ask.
What happens after I submit my property?
Our team reviews your submission and researches the parcel using county records and mapping tools. If the property fits our buying criteria, we'll contact you within 2-5 business days with a written cash offer. If the parcel isn't a fit right now, we'll let you know promptly so you're not left waiting.
Does my land have to be in perfect condition or have road access?
No. We buy land in a wide range of conditions — raw acreage, landlocked parcels, land with back taxes, and properties with unclear access. These factors affect our offer price, but they do not automatically disqualify your property. Submit it and let us take a look.
Do I need a real estate agent to sell to you?
No. This is a direct purchase — you sell directly to Vacant Land Deals without involving an agent or paying any commissions. If you currently have an agent, that's fine too; we can work with represented sellers.
What does closing look like, and who handles the paperwork?
Closing is handled by a licensed title company. They prepare all documents, conduct the title search, and coordinate the transfer of ownership. You'll sign closing documents — in person or remotely, depending on your location — and receive payment at closing via wire transfer or check.
Can I back out after accepting an offer?
Yes. Until you sign the purchase agreement, there is no binding obligation. Even after signing, most agreements include a short due diligence period during which either party may withdraw. We'll explain all terms clearly before you sign anything.
