Every step, and who pays for it.
From your first message to the money arriving. If anything here is unclear, call us and ask before you sign a thing.
You tell us about the parcel
Send the property address or parcel ID and the best way to reach you. If you inherited the land and are not sure exactly what you own, give us the county and the owner name and we will pull the record ourselves.
We research it and send a written offer
We check access, zoning, utilities, flood and wetland constraints, and what builders in that area are currently paying. The offer arrives in writing so you can read it on your own time.
You sign the purchase agreement
The agreement states your price, the closing timeline, and that we cover the closing costs. From that point your number is fixed.
Our builder signs the assignment agreement
We bring the parcel to a builder or developer we already work with, and they sign our assignment agreement, their commitment to buy the land and to pay our fee. This is the reason you pay nothing: our fee lives on their side of the transaction.
Due diligence and identity verification
The due diligence period begins. We complete our surveys and confirm the county record, and the title company verifies your identity. Some of our preferred title companies ask for a photo ID showing your current mailing address; others use online verification such as Intellicheck. This protects you from deed fraud, which is common on vacant land.
You sign the seller documents
Once title is clear you complete the seller documents in person or with a mobile notary. We cover the notary fee. One to two days before closing the title company sends you a settlement statement showing the purchase price and every deduction; back taxes and recorded liens are the seller’s responsibility and come out of the purchase price there.
The title company pays you
Our builder or developer wires the total settlement amount to the title company, and you receive your amount by wire or mailed check, whichever you prefer. We receive our fee from the title company separately, out of the builder’s funds.
