Why sell to a land investor rather than a Realtor?
Peace of Mind
The simplest reason to sell to a land investor is how quickly you receive your money and the peace of mind you get from knowing how much money you will receive. I do not make promises that other land investors do that it will be ten days or less. Most of the time that is what happens, but once we agree to a price, you sign a contract to sell your land to us. The next step is to send your contract to a title company. The title company will determine if there are any problems with the title that must be resolved prior to closing when you receive your money. They will contact you. We go to a neutral third party so you have peace of mind.
We hear it all the time that land owners do not want to receive texts or phone calls. We request you email or use our contact form to reach us. This way, you don't ever have to speak to anyone unless you want to. We make the process with you in mind. People are busy. Playing phone tag is not fun. There are to many texts. Our offers expire in twenty (20) days unless we tell you otherwise. This gives you time to sit with it and decide if this is right for you.
There are some circumstances where the price of the property does not justify the use of a title company. In those cases, we have reviewed the title ourselves and it has passed our tests. In those situations, we mail a certified check directly to you.
Why do land owners prefer to sell their vacant land to us, a land investment company, rather than selling it themselves buy owner? The web has made it complicated. Zillow now puts buy owner on a different page then agents. Websites are making it harder to sell without a realtor. Craigslist consistently crawls and red flags land for sale listings. E-bay does the same. The rules keep changing with websites that owners typically listed their property on. They are making it much more difficult to sell land buy owner. Even Facebook marketplace has restrictions. And with Facebook you as the owner receive the automated messages from people just looking, but not buying. We take out all the hassle. You sell to us, we buy from you. We make life simple.
If you are still asking why not use a realtor, Based on your county, you may wait 6 months to sell or more. For Wellfleet, Florida, the last time I checked, property was on the market an average of 215 days before it sold. If your property is not priced to sell, it can sit even longer. Based on your area, you could be paying another year plus of taxes on the property. Every month it doesn't sell, it costs you money.
The average days on market is available for anyone to review. You can go to https://www.realtor.com/research/data Realtor.com maintains data about the days on market in counties and zip codes. Before you sell with a realtor, determine what the wait time will cost you as well as the closing costs and realtors' fees. With the costs, will you receive the price you want? If so, use a realtor.
