The fastest, simplest way to sell vacant land is to a buyer who pays cash. We make cash offers for land across Lee, Collier, Charlotte and Sarasota counties β lots, acreage, waterfront and commercial land β and we close in as little as 7 days.
Why a Cash Offer Beats Listing Your Land
- No financing risk. Most banks won’t lend on vacant land, so many retail buyers can’t close. We pay cash.
- No commissions. We’re the buyer, not an agent β there’s no 6β10% fee coming out of your proceeds.
- We pay closing costs. Title, recording and closing fees are on us.
- As-is. No surveys, clearing, clean-up or repairs.
- Your timeline. Close in 7β21 days, or later if you need more time.
How Our Cash Offers Work
- Send the address or parcel number.
- We research zoning, access, utilities, flood zone, comparable sales and anything owed on the land.
- You get a written offer within 24 hours β no obligation.
- A licensed Florida title company handles closing and pays off any taxes or liens from the proceeds.
Cash Offer vs. Listing Vacant Land
Listing a house and listing vacant land are very different. Most lenders won’t finance raw land, so a large share of retail buyers can’t close without cash. Land listings also tend to sit longer than home listings, and every month adds taxes, mowing and maintenance. With a listing you’ll typically pay a commission; with us you pay none, and we cover closing costs. For many owners, the net amount from a fast cash sale is closer to a listing than they expect.
What Can Lower a Cash Offer
- No legal road access, or access only by an unrecorded easement.
- Wetlands covering much of the parcel.
- High flood zones requiring expensive elevated construction.
- Large unpaid taxes, assessments or liens (these are subtracted at closing).
- Title problems that take time to clear.
None of these stop us from buying β they just factor into the number.
How We Calculate a Cash Offer
We start with recent sales of comparable land nearby β similar size, location, access and utilities. Then we adjust for what makes your land different: water access, flood zone, wetlands, road type, zoning and demand from builders in that area. Finally, we account for our costs and risk in holding and reselling or building on the land. We share the key factors with you so our number isn’t a mystery.
An Example Net Sheet
For illustration only. Suppose we offer $30,000 for a lot with $2,400 in delinquent taxes and a $600 code enforcement lien. At closing, the title company pays the $2,400 in taxes and the $600 lien from the proceeds. We pay the closing costs. You receive $27,000. Compare that to a listing at $34,000: after a typical commission, seller closing costs, the same taxes and lien, and several months of additional carrying costs, the net can end up surprisingly close.
How to Compare Cash Offers
If you’ve received letters or calls from other buyers, compare offers on more than price:
- Inspection period. A long “due diligence” period lets a buyer tie up your land and walk away.
- Contingencies. Watch for clauses like “subject to partner approval” or “subject to financing.”
- Earnest money. Is a deposit going to a title company?
- Closing costs. Who pays them?
- Assignment. Can the buyer assign the contract to someone else? Some “buyers” are really middlemen.
What Happens After You Accept
- Day 1: We sign a simple purchase agreement and send it to a Florida title company.
- Days 2β10: The title company searches title, orders payoff amounts for taxes and liens, and prepares documents.
- Days 7β21: You sign closing documents β in person or with a mobile notary β and receive your proceeds by wire or check.

Cash Offer FAQs
How do you decide your cash offer?
We base it on recent land sales nearby, the lot’s features and limitations, and any taxes, liens or assessments owed.
Is a cash offer lower than listing?
Usually somewhat, because we cover all costs and risk and close fast. Many owners net a similar amount once commissions, closing costs and months of carrying costs are counted.
What if I want more than your cash offer?
Ask us about seller financing. If you can wait for payments over time, we can often pay a higher total price.
Can I negotiate your cash offer?
Yes. If you have information about the land that we missed, or a different price in mind, tell us. We will review it and respond honestly.
Do you ever back out after signing?
Our inspection period is short and we explain up front what could change our offer, such as a major title problem we could not see in public records.
Do you buy land outside Southwest Florida?
Our focus is Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Sarasota and nearby Hendry County. Contact us about other areas.
Is your cash offer the same as an appraisal?
No. An appraisal estimates market value for a lender. Our offer is what we will actually pay in cash, with no fees and closing costs covered.
Can you buy land owned by an LLC or trust?
Yes. The title company will confirm who has authority to sign.
