FAQ

Do you own the land or sell it for other people?

We typically own the land that is posted on our website.  You don’t have to worry about third party transactions.

How can buyers find out more information about the lots they wish to purchase?

On our “Land Information” page, we do our best to include as much detailed information as we can gather on the property. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us. We also encourage buyers to call the county in which the property is located for detailed questions regarding zoning, utilities, etc.

Are there any liens on the properties?

All land sold by us will be delivered with free and clear title. We guarantee the land won’t have any liens or we will refund your money in full. 

Where do you buy your properties?

We acquire property from different sources including private parties, private investors, tax foreclosure and trusts.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Bank Deposits, Bank Wire transfers, Zelle, Cashier’s Checks and Money Orders

How can you sell the property so inexpensive?

We save money in realtor fees, commissions and escrow fees and in turn, we’re able to sell land for great prices.  We are seeking to earn your business and keep you coming back for more great deals.  Treat your customers well and they will treat you in the same manner!

Can I build a home on the properties?

Most of the properties are buildable lots. You will however need to do your own research to verify if it is buildable and get the proper building permits from the county.  You should always do your own due diligence on your land investment whether you buy from us or anyone else.

How does the sale process work?

You can start the process by simply calling or emailing us. We will prepare a simple one page purchase agreement for you to review and then sign. You tell us how you want the deed titled and what mailing address want for the deed and taxes. Once the purchase price is paid in full, we prepare a deed to officially transfer ownership to you and have it notarized. You don’t need to sign anything on the deed it’s self. (Only the note and land contract, if you are chossing finance the land)

If you wish, we can owner finance almost any of the properties on our website for you, with just a small down payment and monthly payments to fit your budget.

How is the Deed recorded?

In most cases, we record the deed for you, with the County Recorder’s office. With California property, there’s one more step: the buyer needs to fill out and sign a form called Preliminary Change of Ownership Report; we will send you instructions on how to do this.

Can I see the land before I purchase it?

Yes, please do. Some land you can drive right up to and others need some tenacity and ingenuity. With GPS coordinates and a modern phone or some research on the internet ahead of time you should be able to go look and see the land for yourself.

Do we need to meet in person?

No! The entire process is done remotely. We do it by phone, mail, fax, and email.

Do I need a real estate agent to buy or sell land?

Nope! Real estate agents tend to market land for what it might be worth if the right buyer comes along some day. I market land for a quick sale, excluding their fees to get the end user the best price.

Can we use escrow to close?

Sure, but the buyer needs to pay for it. Signing over a deed is actually an easy process when there are no bank lenders involved.

What does due diligence mean?

Prospective buyers are urged to examine and research all properties prior to buying or making an offer to purchase. Contact any state or county offices, utility companies, homeowners’ associations and other relevant organizations before making an offer to purchase or placing a down payment. By buying you are acknowledging that you have completed all due diligence and that you understand the legal commitment to purchase.

All land parcels are sold “as-is, where is.” All information contained in our land for sale listings has come from reliable sources or prior owners of the subject properties and is accurate to the best of our knowledge. However, we make no guarantee expressed or implied as to the location, condition, accessibility, terrain, build ability or information contained in these property listings. Often, we have never visited the property. Sizes advertised are approximate. For many of the land listings w use GPS maps. This GPS maps information is for the purpose of locating your property only. Prior to building a fence or any structures on your land, you should contact a state licensed surveyor to mark the exact corners of your property or to get a property survey done in the county the property is located in.

What kind of guarantees can you offer?

We want happy customers, so if there is something wrong at any step in the process, even after you’ve purchased, contact us right away and we will do our best to make it right.

In addition, our land comes with a 100% Satisfaction, 30-Day, Unconditional Money Back Guarantee! If you are not satisfied with the land you purchased, we will refund your deposit or exchange it for another property in our portfolio.

I don’t see an address for the property; how do I find it?

Every property has the coordinates listed in the post. Use these coordinates like an address by entering them into Google Maps, or Google Earth, and it will drop a pin right on the property!  Also, every ad on our website has a link to the GIS for the county. This will allow you to conduct due diligence research on the property.

When I look up the property on the county website, sometimes I see someone else’s name! Why is that?

Most county websites take months to update when a property changes hands. We are fast-paced land investors, and we have often JUST purchased the property ourselves prior to listing it for sale.

Can you come meet me at the property?

Unfortunately, no!  We are not always located in the same geographical area as the property you’re interested in. This is one of the reasons we can offer such good deals.   you are welcome to go look at the property at any time you would like. No need to even get our permission!

How Do I Research Land?

It is best if you can personally visit and examine the land that you want to purchase. You should do so if it is practical.

However, if there is a great distance involved, you can take advantage of online satellite mapping software, such as Google Earth, to see satellite photos of the property that you’re considering as well as the surrounding area.

You can easily obtain a lot of useful information if you know who to ask. And keep in mind that each State, County, City and Homeowners association may have different requirements and rules regarding the use and buildability of a property.

Calling a property owners’ association, if there is one, can be extremely productive. Another great potential source of information that you should explore is to see if the county Assessor’s office has an online property search.

Most county offices have a website, and if you go the Assessor’s web page you can look to see if they have any kind of online property search. Usually if they have one there will be a clickable button that says “property search”, “public records search”, “online search”, “GIS mapping”, or something similar.

If the county that you are interested in has one of these online searches, you can usually find out whatever information is available by typing in the legal description of the property or the parcel number into an online search form that they provide.

The county Clerk/Recorder and the county Treasurer might also have internet search pages that can be useful to you. Be aware that when you search for a county office from an online search engine some of the results that come up will be for websites owned by private companies, rather than the County’s own website.

The first question you may have about a property is water availability. Is water available from a local utility or will it be available in the near future? If water must be obtained by well is a well feasible on the property you’re considering? In some locations water can be trucked in to your own water tank. How much is water likely to cost?

Is a sewer connection available or will you need a septic system?  If so what are the requirements and can your property meet them?

If the county has a Department of Planning & Zoning that is a good starting place in your search for information, or perhaps a Department of Community Development or a Building Department. You may also be able to get information on zoning, general area development, access roads, and planned development. Failing those, maybe the County Assessor’s Office can either answer your questions or refer you to someone who can.

If the land you are considering is near a town, you can try calling the municipal office and they might be able to tell you who can give you this information. You might be able to find local utilities if any, well drillers, and sewage/septic companies, etc. that are familiar with the area, by using an internet search engine.

Questions regarding electricity and telephone service availability can be answered similarly.

To verify land ownership, you will need the legal description of the property. Telephone the County Assessor’s Office and tell them that you would like to find out who the owner of record is for the property. Write down the name they give you and also ask them for the full parcel number of the property.

Your next call, to the County Treasurer’s Office, is to verify that the taxes on the property are not delinquent. They will probably ask you for the parcel number. They can tell you if the taxes are delinquent, and they can also tell you how much the annual taxes are for the property.

If you want to see a copy of the deed you can usually purchase one from the County Clerk/Recorder’s office. You will probably need to ask the Assessor’s office for the book and page number of the deed so that you can give that information to the Clerk/Recorder’s office, enabling them to find the deed.
