Q: Do you pay fair prices for land?
A: Yes. The prices we pay are fair and a win-win for both parties. We do not pay retail, however, that cost can be made up when you factor in the fact that we charge ZERO in commissions, plus we pick up all associated administrative and closing costs. In addition, we close very quickly because we are paying in cash. This saves you money by shortening the period of time in which you are responsible for taxes, assessments, and maintenance of the property. Remember, the land market is very slow, selling the traditional way, and using a realtor to find a buyer can take months, if not longer. Costs incurred over this time can add up fast. Before binding yourself to a realtor, get our offer and run the numbers for yourself. There is zero obligation.
Q: How do you determine how much to offer for a parcel of land?
A: Our process is very clear and straightforward. We look at what other properties are selling for, and what the market suggests they will do in the future. We take out what was paid in commission and fees on these comparable properties to get a price on which we base our offer. In addition, we calculate the market value there is for this type of land and the number of marketing resources we’ll need to put into the transaction to re-sell your property to an end buyer. Finally, it is our profit. We earn a fair profit for this service and want you to walk away knowing that you reached your goals. When you get an offer from USA Land Solutions, we will fully explain how we have come up with it.
Q: Are there ANY hidden costs or fees?
A: Never. Not a dime. What we offer you is what you will take home.
Q: What makes you different from an agent?
A: We are direct buyers. We buy land that is not being used in an effort to help it see its greatest potential. Let’s say a lot is located in suburbia. We will hopefully resell the lot to someone who is just waiting to build their dream house on it. Our goal is to help property owners feel elated by their real estate decisions. If you do have a piece of land that is doing nothing for you, maybe we can help you with the cash to find something better suited for YOUR needs.
Real estate agents list properties (often at inflated prices) in hopes that someone will buy them, and they will get their hefty commission. You will have to sign a contract, binding you to them for a certain amount of time. You will owe them their commission no matter how the property is sold, even if you find the buyer yourself.
Q: If I Get An Offer, Is There an Obligation?
A: There is never any obligation or hassle. Once you tell us a little about your property we will then study the market and comparable properties. Within 48 hours we will have an offer for you. It is completely up to you if you decide to sell or not. There is no risk, obligation, or hassle.
Q: What does a title company do?
A: Title companies serve as the trusted 3rd party who orchestrates the buying/selling of real estate.
b.) Additionally, they insure the title of the property against liens/encumbrances of any kind
c.) We send them the money to buy and you sign the docs to sell and the title company does not disburse the funds to the seller or transfer ownership to the buyer until both parties have fulfilled their contractual obligation
d.) This allows safe, hassle-free transactions between strangers
e.) We typically close transactions with local title companies such as Florida Abstract & Security Title Corp, First International, CAH Title, etc. As the Buyer paying cash and all closing costs, we choose our preferred title company in the transaction.
Q: How quickly can we close?
A: a.)This is entirely dependent on the title company and the due diligence needed on our end.
b.) Title companies have to do their due diligence on the title in order to obtain the “title commitment” which is necessary for them to insure the title and close the transaction. We close once the title company lets us know that settlement is ready. Closing takes place in as little as 30 days and sometimes up to 180 days.
c.) Secondly, they have to coordinate the notary and prepare all of the paperwork/numbers which is dependent on their schedule
d.) On our end, we have to verify that the land is buildable by double checking:
-Utilities
-Zoning
-Topography
-Soil Report
-Feasibility
-Percolation Test
-Etc
e.) Once all of the above are completed, we can close the transaction
What will happen on the day of closing?
a.) 1-2 days prior to closing, the title company will send you a “settlement statement” which outlines the numbers on your side of the transaction. Here you will see the purchase price minus any costs associated with the sale such as unpaid taxes, liens that may be on the property, etc
b.) The title company may send a notary to you in order to sign all of the paperwork. One of the documents allows you to choose if you’d like the funds wired to you or sent via check
c.) On our end, we send the money to the title company and sign all of our respective documents. We typically send the funds into the title company several days ahead of time if they’re able to prepare the documents in time.
d.) Once we’ve both signed, the title company will send you the money via a check or wire to your bank account.
