The properties we list for sale are ones that our company has full ownership of. We do not share ownership with any other party, and they are not mortgaged or financed – we own them outright.
We are not representing any other 3rd party owner. In every sense of the word, these are “For Sale By Owner” listings.
We usually have a Warranty Deed or Special Warranty Deed for these properties.
We owns these properties free and clear of all liens, judgments, or other encumbrances. That means no back-taxes are owed, there are no liens (such as mortgages, etc), and no other judgments prohibiting the free sale to another party.
No. All back-taxes are paid, and these properties are up-to-date on their property-taxes.
It is important to note that vacant land usually does not have a street address, since no one has ever lived on it. Since you can’t simply plug an address into your GPS in order to get directions to vacant land, we have provided the following information to help you get there:
In most places, local jurisdictions require a permitted septic system to be installed before someone can live on the property. In order to get a septic permit, a soil survey (also known as a percolation test or “perc-test”) must be performed to recommend the most appropriate type of septic system and specifications for it.
On the rare occasion where we have had concerns about the feasibility of installing a conventional septic system on that particular property, we have ordered a soil survey before putting the property on the market. Sometimes the land we acquire has been granted a septic permit in the past, and if so, then the local health department should have a record of it. We are careful to share any information we have in regards to septic permits or soil surveys in the property listing.
If the property you are interested in has not been perc-tested in the past, and you are concerned about the results of a soil survey, then before you reserve the property, you can contact us to ask us about adding a soil survey contingency to the contract. This contingency would allow you time to have a soil survey performed on the property at your own expense before closing.
Unless there is an important reason to have the parcel surveyed, like if we believe that the acreage or boundaries to be incorrectly recorded at the county offices, we generally will not order a survey to be done.
If we have an older survey or plat map in our possession, we will make it available for you to download from the property listing page.
If you have a specific concern that causes you to feel that a new survey might be needed before you purchase the property, please reach out to us to discuss prior to reserving the property.
These lines are an approximation based on county records and are not to be treated as a replacement for a survey. They are usually fairly accurate, but not always. If we have reason to believe that serious inaccuracies exist which will affect the resale value of the land, we will usually order a survey to be done.
No we are not. We are real estate investors.
A real estate agent or realtor works on behalf of the true property owner. They usually have no ownership claim to the property being sold. As such, they require a license to perform that service.
We on the other hand are the property owners. We do not require the help of a real estate agent to sell our property for us – we do it ourselves. We are more akin to a “For Sale By Owner” listing you might have seen in the past.
Most Buyer’s Agents that we’ve come across are used to buying and selling houses. But land is a little different. The information we provide in our listings, our own experience buying and selling land, as well as the good communication we maintain throughout the process, can tend to make a Buyer’s Agent a little redundant.
That said, some agents are quite knowledgeable with vacant land. And some buyers are more comfortable having a second set of eyes on the subject. Therefore, you are welcome to bring along your own Buyer’s Agent to the transaction, and we will generally pay them a commission as outlined in each individual land listing.
We make sure that every property we have for sale is priced below market value. In other words, our properties are already fantastic deals! This means that they are usually not on the market for very long. Since this is the case, we are not usually inclined to lower the price.
Even so, if you really want to make a reasonable offer that is below the list price, you can, and we will consider it. But don’t forget that our properties are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. The first person who agrees to the list price and pays the reservation fee will be the one who gets property. And so there is the chance that, while we are deciding whether or not we will accept your offer, someone else may come along and reserve the property.
After you’ve completed all of your due diligence and you are ready to purchase, you can click the yellow “Click To Start The Buying Process” button on the property listing webpage. We will collect some more information from you to allow us to draw up a Purchase And Sales Agreement For Vacant Land, which will be emailed to you. Once you have looked the contract over, and you are in agreement with the terms, both Buyer (yourself) and Seller (us) will sign it electronically.
Meanwhile we will also send you an invoice via email, for you to pay your earnest money deposit and thus reserve the property. Payment can be made online with credit/debit card or ACH deposit, and the amount will be specified in the property listing on our website.
Once the earnest money has been paid, and the Agreement has been executed by Buyer and Seller, we will then forward the signed purchase agreement to a local title or escrow agent or real estate attorney, who will perform a title search, write up a new deed, and arrange a date and time for closing.
If you have a preference to use a certain title company or attorney to handle the closing, please let us know and we will discuss. But typically, we like to use an agent of our choice, since we will have usually negotiated good fees with them for both parties, and have established that they are reputable and trustworthy.
At the time of closing, you will pay the balance of the sale price as well as your share of the closing costs, and the deed to the property will be signed over to you. Afterwards, the title agent will make sure the new deed is recorded with the county.
You will then be the proud owner of some vacant land!
While we have offered owner financing in the past, we are generally not offering it at this time. If this payment option is available we will usually advertise it on the property listing. If you do not have the cash to pay for a property, you can pursue your own financing through a bank. At closing, we will require the full cash balance.
For the initial reservation fee payment, we accept all forms of payment – but recommend a credit or debit card since it will immediately reserve the property for you. For the balance of a cash sale we accept, payment will depend on the title company used, but typically a cashier’s check or wire transfer is required.
In short, the Reservation Fee for reserving a property on our website is NON REFUNDABLE.
All sales of real property are final, and we do not do refunds for vacant land if you decide after closing that you are dissatisfied with the property. That’s why we strongly urge you to do all of your due diligence and walk the property if possible, BEFORE you reserve and indeed close on a property with us.
