Testimonials from satisfied clients:

 

I was nervous about doing anything real estate online, but Joe helped me to understand the whole process and made me comfortable selling my land online. He took care of everything and made sure I completely understood all the important stuff before I signed any paperwork. The whole process took only about 2 weeks and now I have some nice vacation money to spend.

Jane G. from Suttert Creek, CA

I made a bad investment based on a tip from an ex-friend 10 years ago and bought a couple acres of land. Next thing I know, the market price dropped further and further and I needed cash to help pay off some unexpected debts. Thanks to Salty Soil, I was able to get rid of my worthless piece of land and get money in my bank account to avoid late fees. I can’t thank them enough!

John R. from Antelope, CA

Me and my wife bought some land 20 years ago in Arizona thinking it was going to be a great place to retire and build a home. Sadly our life wouldn’t allow us to do that and now we just had a piece of dirt in the middle of nowhere that was burning a hole in our pocket with taxes and fees. I was so happy to get rid of it!

Mark and Sandy P. from Eau Claire, WI

My grandparents left me a large piece of land in their will and I really had no idea what to do with it. I didn’t realize how expensive it was until I got the tax bill. I tried to sell it with 3 different realtors but none of them bothered to do anything but put it on the MLS and they overpriced it every time. After years of wasting money and sick of dealing with realtors, I finally was able to get rid of it for cash. The whole thing only took a week and they took care of everything behind the scenes. Thanks for lifting this burden off me!

Jerry M. from Fort Worth, TX

There are so many scams going around these days a person has to be very careful answering a letter received in the mail. This especially true when it is from someone you don’t know, from a distant state, offering you money for your property. We are so glad we took you up on your offer. You offered a reasonable amount for our property and made us comfortable by using a well known Title Company. The electronic process you used for the offer, acceptance and signatures was easy and straight forward. I accomplished everything from my home office except my final signature on the Grant Deed. I had my signature notarized at FedEx then overnighted the paperwork to the Title Company. A few days later I received the check from the Title Company. Thank you!

FAQ’s

1. We can only buy a piece of land if it is marketable. Ideally it should only be your name on the deed. If there are other people on the deed, they must still be living or we can't work with it. (See probate FAQ)

2. We can't pay market price. While we have capital set aside to buy land, we only have so much for each property. However, if you're looking for a quick closing and cash in your pocket within a month, we can help.

Yes! While we may adjust the price to compensate, we will gladly buy land even if there's years of back taxes owed. We can even help to make sure the county doesn't re-claim it for the owed taxes.
If you know for a fact that there are any Liens or Judgements on the land, please be sure to let us know right away.

We cannot buy any land with pre-existing charges on it but in some cases they can be removed and we can then buy it from you. While we can usually help with back taxes, Liens and Judgements should be cleared by the owner first and foremost before we'll consider purchasing the land.
Nope, we can do everything completely over the internet!

The only thing you'll need to do to make the paperwork official is to have it signed and notarized in person.

Banks always have notaries on staff that can take care of that for free.
We can certainly work with those! If property is held by a trust: You'll need to provide legal trust documents stipulating who the trustees are. If one or more of the original trustees has passed away: We would need to verifythe parts of the trust that designate the successor trustees. Owned by LLC: we will need the articles of organization stipulating who the designated officers or current managing members/owners.
Unfortunately, you cannot sell the property just because you're paying the taxes. The process for getting your name on the deed is very complicated and can be expensive. As it isn't marketable, we can't sell it in that state. (See probate FAQ)
In most cases, yes! While we may have to adjust the price to compensate, there's a good chance we can help take it off your hands.
Generally speaking, we won't buy 100% wetland properties as it is very difficult to build or use that kind of land. Similarly, land in flood zones can be difficult to utilize. HOWEVER, for a lower price point we may consider the otherwise hard to use land, so we'll let you know what we might be able to do with it. We'll buy nearly anything for the right price! If the state offers to complete a "wetlands delineation" (which determines definitely whether there are wetlands on the property) we will ask that this be completed before purchasing the property.
Of course! We'll look at any property in any state and we can see if can make you a cash offer for it.

If you have any documents or pictures or video or anything to help us get a better feel for the land, please let us know.
Please keep in mind that we only have a limited amount of capital that we can use for a piece of land and we can't pay market price for land. However by going through us you have a guaranteed cash sale that we can close within a month.

You can certainly go through a realtor to try and get full price but they'll rarely put in the effort to get the land sold. Realtors mostly only care about houses after all!

We consider several different factors when setting offer prices for different properties. These factors include the 4 “A’s”: access, acreage, amenities (like utilities, water, trees, etc), and affordability (or similar market conditions).
Assessed value isn't always a very good market indicator for a few reasons:
  • Assessed value is typically just a ranking system for the county to know how much to tax a property
  • Assessed value is typically only re-evaluated once a year
  • Assessed value often drastically lags behind sale/market value
  • Assessed value is often based on self-reporting from owners, which skews the numbers
  • Some counties will only re-assess the land after a sale has been made. (This can mean that some land assessed value won’t have changed in 15 or more years!) Assessed value often varies drastically from county to county and state to state.
We may use it as a data point in figuring out pricing but it is fairly unreliable to figure out market price.
Land owner information is available publicly via the county.
