Frequently Asked Questions
The questions landowners actually ask us — answered plainly, including the ones with awkward answers.
What kinds of land do you buy?
We buy virtually every type of land — vacant lots, farmland, wooded acreage, inherited property, landlocked parcels, land with back taxes, and properties in probate. We also purchase properties that other buyers pass on, including land with environmental concerns, zoning challenges, or unclear boundaries. Whether it’s 1 acre or 1,000 acres, rural or suburban, we’ll take a serious look. If you’re not sure whether your property qualifies, just reach out — we’ll let you know quickly and honestly.
How long does the process take?
Every property is different, so we don’t promise a one-size-fits-all timeline — we’ll give you a realistic closing estimate upfront based on your property’s title situation. The main variable is title work — if the title is clean, we can move fast. If there are liens, probate, or heir issues, it may take a bit longer, but we handle all of that for you at no extra cost. We’ll move at the pace that works for you.
Do I have to pay commissions or closing costs?
No. We cover all standard closing costs, and you will never pay realtor commissions. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with — no hidden fees, no surprise deductions at closing. That’s our commitment to keeping the process simple and fair.
My property has back taxes. Can you still buy it?
Yes. We regularly purchase properties with delinquent taxes. We can pay off the outstanding taxes as part of the closing process, so you don’t have to come out of pocket. The tax balance is simply factored into the transaction — we handle the rest.
Do you buy land nationwide?
Yes. We buy nationwide, with deep roots in the Southeast, Texas, and the Gulf Coast. Whether your property is in a rural county or on the edge of a growing metro area, we have the local market knowledge to evaluate it accurately and make a fair offer.
How do you determine your cash offer?
We evaluate your property based on location, acreage, zoning, access to utilities and roads, topography, and current market conditions. Unlike most buyers, we also assess the land’s development potential — whether it could support a subdivision, homesites, or other improvements. This expertise allows us to often offer more than competitors who only see raw land value. Every offer comes with a clear explanation of how we arrived at the number, so you understand exactly what you’re getting and why.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
Absolutely not. Our offers are completely free with zero obligation. If the number doesn’t work for you, there’s no pressure and no hard feelings. We want you to make the decision that’s right for your situation — on your timeline, on your terms.
What if my property is in probate or has multiple heirs?
We handle these situations regularly — it’s one of our specialties. Our team works with title companies and attorneys to resolve heir issues, clear probate requirements, and ensure a clean transfer. In many cases, we can purchase the property even while probate is still in progress. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed and handle the heavy lifting.
Can I sell just part of my land?
Yes. If you only want to sell a portion of your property, we can work with licensed surveyors to subdivide the parcel and purchase just the acreage you want to let go. This is common with larger tracts where landowners want to keep their homesite but sell the remaining acreage.
Is there any cost to get an offer?
None at all. Our property evaluation and cash offer are completely free. We never charge for assessments, consultations, or any part of the process. If you decide not to move forward, you owe us nothing.
What happens after I submit the contact form?
One of our team members will reach out within 24 hours — usually the same business day. We’ll ask a few questions about your property, do some initial research using county records and market data, and typically have a written offer ready within a few days. From there, the ball is entirely in your court.
What if I don't want to sell — can I partner with you to develop my land instead?
Yes. If your property has development potential, we offer joint venture partnerships where you contribute the land and we bring the capital, expertise, and project management. Instead of a one-time cash payout, you become a member of the venture that develops the property — with everything negotiated privately, one property at a time, and papered by attorneys.
How does a joint venture partnership with Land Legacy Partners work?
We start by evaluating your land’s highest and best use — whether that’s a residential subdivision, rural homesites, or another type of development. If it’s a fit, we form a partnership (typically an LLC) where you contribute the land as equity and we handle everything else: entitlements, permitting, surveying, engineering, road and utility installation, and lot sales. Profits are split based on a pre-agreed structure that’s spelled out in a clear legal agreement. You’re kept in the loop at every stage and involved in major decisions.
What types of land qualify for a development partnership?
Properties with subdivision or development potential — typically 10 or more acres with access to roads and utilities, or land in growing markets where demand for residential lots is strong. We look at zoning, topography, market demand, flood zones, and infrastructure access. Not every property qualifies, but if yours does, we’ll lay out what a partnership would look like next to a straight sale. We’ll evaluate your property and give you an honest assessment of whether a JV makes sense.
Do I have to invest any cash in a joint venture?
No. Your land is your equity contribution — that’s the whole point. We fund all development costs including surveying, engineering, permitting, road construction, utility installation, and marketing. You don’t write a check at any point. Your land is your contribution, and our capital and expertise is ours.
What's the difference between selling my land and partnering to develop it?
When you sell, you get a one-time cash payment and move on — it’s fast, simple, and certain. When you partner with us, you stay involved as a co-owner of the development project. We fund and manage everything — surveying, permitting, infrastructure, lot sales — and, as a member of the venture, you receive distributions under the agreement the attorneys draft. The tradeoff is time and certainty: a sale is quick and certain, while a partnership plays out over the life of the development. We’ll walk through both paths for your specific property so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a development partnership take, and what are the risks?
Timelines depend on the property’s size, location, and complexity. The main risks are market conditions and project timeline — lot prices could fluctuate, and permitting or construction can sometimes take longer than expected. We mitigate these risks through thorough due diligence before we commit, conservative financial projections, and our deep experience managing development projects. We’ll walk you through realistic best-case and worst-case scenarios before you sign anything.
Who handles the legal paperwork for a joint venture?
We work with experienced real estate attorneys to draft a clear joint venture agreement that spells out each party’s roles, the profit-sharing structure, project timelines, decision-making authority, and exit provisions. Everything is in plain language — no legal jargon buried in fine print. We strongly encourage you to have your own attorney review the agreement as well. Transparency and mutual trust are the foundation of every partnership we enter.
