Plain answers, no fine print.
The questions landowners ask most often — about process, taxes, title, heirs, and what happens after you reach out.
How the process works.
Usually 1–2 business days from when we have enough to review. Roger pulls records, checks comps, and calls or texts back with a number. If it's a complicated parcel — unclear title, multiple heirs — it might take longer, and we'll tell you up front.
No. There's no fee to get an offer, no obligation to accept, and no pressure if you decline. We don't charge for the review. If you get an offer and sit on it for three months, that's fine too.
An agent lists your land and tries to find a buyer — 3 to 12 months, 6% commission, deal can fall through. We are the buyer. No listing, no commission, cash close in 7–14 days. See our full process for details.
Which parcels we consider.
Farms, timber, hunting tracts, rural acreage, homesites, inherited land, tax-delinquent parcels, and landlocked or no-access parcels. See the full Land We Buy page.
Yes. We regularly buy parcels behind on taxes. Back taxes, tax-sale redemption situations, and most liens get resolved at closing — they don't stop the deal. Call us even if you think it's too complicated.
Yes. Landlocked and no-access parcels are something we look at seriously. Often they're the parcels other buyers skip — which means they're opportunities if handled right.
Our focus is Indiana statewide and 11 Kentucky counties around Louisville (see Service Area). For parcels outside that, call anyway — we have partners who may be interested.
No strict minimum. We've bought quarter-acre subdivision lots and 500-acre farms and everything in between. If it's in our service area and you want to sell, it's worth a call.
From first call to closed deal.
Typically 7–14 days from accepted offer to funds wired. Sometimes faster if there are no title issues and the seller is ready. Probate or title work can extend it — we'll give you a realistic timeline once we review.
We open title at a local title company, send you a purchase agreement, and coordinate the deed and closing documents. You choose whether to close in person, remotely (with a mobile notary), or by mail.
We do. Standard closing costs — title search, deed prep, recording fees, normal taxes at closing — are on our side. You net the offer price.
How we arrive at a number.
Roger reviews recent comparable sales in the county, the parcel's specific characteristics (access, soil, timber, condition), and any complications (taxes, title, heirs). Our offer is cash with no contingencies — that's reflected in the number. If an agent could net you more over 6 months, we'll tell you that's probably the move.
Generally, no. We pay a fair cash price reflecting the speed and certainty we're providing — no listing, no commissions, no months of marketing, no fallthrough risk. For many sellers that trade-off works. For some it doesn't, and we respect that.
Sometimes. If you have a legitimate written offer, share it — we'll take a second look. We won't invent a higher number to win the deal, but we do occasionally find more room after a closer review.
Selling land from an estate.
Yes. We handle this regularly. Heirs sign remotely using mobile notaries or mail notarization. Your attorney coordinates with ours. Distance isn't a blocker.
This happens more than you'd think. Depending on the state and situation, options range from heir searches to affidavits of heirship to formal probate. We'll walk through the possibilities with your attorney.
Remote and out-of-state heirs sign via mobile notary or mail notarization regularly. Indiana and Kentucky both allow remote online notarization (RON) for most real estate documents.
Complicated parcels are our specialty.
A clouded title has unresolved issues — old liens, missing deeds, boundary disputes, unclear ownership. Yes, we still buy clouded title. Our title company works through the cure at closing.
Usually no. If there's a clear boundary dispute with a neighbor, a survey helps. Otherwise the existing legal description is typically enough to close.
A legal process to clear up title problems — missing heirs, old mortgages that were paid but not released, boundary issues. We occasionally need to do this; if so, we discuss who handles the cost and timeline up front.
A legitimate buyer, plain and simple.
