We buy land.
Anywhere in the U.S. Lots, acreage, farmland, backland.
Land is hard to sell. Agents earn little on it, banks rarely lend on it, and most buyers can't tell whether a lot is buildable. We can, so we make fair cash offers on land across the country that would otherwise sit for a year or more.
- No commissions
- We buy directly. No agent, no listing.
- No perc test or survey
- We do the research and take the risk.
- Back taxes paid at closing
- Liens come out of the proceeds.
What we buy
Read it like a map legend. If your land fits any of these, and most land fits at least one, we want to hear about it.
Legend
Vacant & buildable lots
Infill lots, approved lots and lots in subdivisions that never finished.
Wooded acreage
Raw timberland and wooded parcels, from half an acre to 100+ acres.
Farm & open land
Pasture, cropland, hayfields and ranch land, including current-use parcels.
Landlocked & backland
Parcels with no frontage or no legal access. Yes, we buy these.
Wetlands & tough sites
Lots with wetlands, ledge, slope or failed perc tests.
Tax-delinquent land
Land with back taxes or liens. We can often pay them off at closing.
Inherited parcels
Land passed down in an estate, including lots owned by several heirs.
Out-of-state owners
Own land in a state you've never visited? Close remotely.
Selling to us vs. listing it
Typical figures for vacant and rural land. Every parcel is different, and we'll tell you if listing would get you more.
| Oakline | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to sell | 2–6 weeks | Often 6–18 months for land |
| Commissions | None | Typically 6–10% on land |
| Closing costs | We pay standard costs | Seller usually pays a share |
| Perc tests & surveys | Not required from you | Buyers often ask for them |
| Back taxes | Can be paid from proceeds | Usually cleared first |
| Certainty | Cash, no financing contingency | Land loans fall through often |
Three steps to a closing
The same process whether it's ten acres of woods or a house that needs work.
Step 1
Tell us about the property
Share the address or parcel and a few details. It takes about two minutes.
Step 2
Get a fair cash offer
We research zoning, comps and access, then send a written, no-obligation offer.
Step 3
Close when you're ready
Pick the date. A title company or attorney handles the paperwork and you get paid.

- Tenants in place are fine
- No showings or open houses

Questions sellers ask
Why do you specialize in land?
Land is hard to sell through the usual channels. Agents earn little on it, banks rarely lend on it, and most buyers don't know how to evaluate it. We do, so we can make a fair cash offer on parcels that might otherwise sit for years.
Do you also buy houses?
Yes. We buy single-family homes, condos and multi-family properties in any condition.
Where do you buy?
Nationwide. We buy land in every region of the U.S., from wooded lots in New England to ranch land out west. Send us the parcel wherever it is.
How do you come up with your offer?
We look at recent sales of comparable lots or homes, zoning and buildability, access, utilities and what it would cost to bring the property to market. We'll walk you through the numbers.
What kinds of land do you buy?
Almost any kind: buildable lots, wooded acreage, farmland, backland with no frontage, parcels with wetlands or ledge, and lots that failed a perc test. If you're not sure your land is worth anything, ask us. Plenty of owners are surprised.
Do I need a survey or perc test before selling?
No. We buy land without a new survey, perc test or soil evaluation. We do our own research using assessor records, GIS maps and town zoning, and we take on that risk.
My land has back taxes. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes. Unpaid property taxes and liens can typically be paid out of the sale proceeds at closing, so you don't need to come up with the money first.
Have land you want to sell?
Send us the address or parcel. You'll get a written cash offer, with no obligation.
