Who buys land in Texas?
Land buyers fall into a few groups, and who you are dealing with changes how the sale goes.
| Type | What they do | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Direct land buyer | Buys with their own money and holds, develops or resells | Price discount for speed |
| Wholesaler | Gets a contract, assigns it to an end buyer for a fee | Deal depends on finding an end buyer |
| Builder or developer | Wants specific tracts in growth corridors | Long due-diligence periods |
| Neighbor or local farmer | Adds adjacent acreage | May need financing |
| Lead generators | Collect your info and sell it | No actual buyer behind the ad |
Seven questions to ask any "we buy land" company
- Are you buying this yourself? Get the answer in writing.
- Can I see proof of funds? A recent bank or brokerage statement.
- Which title company will close? Call them to confirm.
- Is there any fee to me? Commissions, "processing" fees and deposits from you are red flags.
- What contingencies are in the contract? Inspection periods that let them walk away are normal; long open-ended ones are not.
- How did you arrive at the price? A good buyer explains comps and adjustments.
- Do you have local references? Past sellers or title officers who will confirm.
What a fair cash offer looks like
A cash offer is usually below what a patient, well-marketed listing might bring, because you get speed, certainty, zero commission and no carrying costs. How far below depends on the land: clean accessible tracts are priced closest to market, while landlocked, flood-prone or tax-troubled parcels carry bigger discounts. Our guide to what your land is worth shows how to estimate both numbers.
Scams and bad practices to avoid
- Asking you to pay a fee, "earnest" money or a deposit to receive an offer
- Offers sight-unseen that are far above market, followed by a big drop after you are under contract
- Pressure to sign immediately or to use only their closing attorney
- Wire instructions that change by email at the last minute
- Refusal to give a company address, phone number or title company name
Why sellers work with us
We buy directly and explain every number. If a listing would put more money in your pocket, we will say so. See how our process works on our page about selling land in Texas, or learn what a real cash sale involves.
Wholesaling disclosure rules are set by Texas law and can change. Consult an attorney for specifics about your transaction.
Cash is simple. Some land needs more than that.
We buy for cash when that works. When a deal needs it, we get creative: owner-financed purchases, notes, partnerships and development.
Cash offer
A written offer within 24 hours. Closing typically takes 7 to 30 days, or on the date you choose. No commissions or fees.
Owner financing and notes
Want a down payment and payments over time? We can buy your land on owner-financed terms, and we can talk about buying an owner-financed note you hold.
Partnerships and entitlement
Land with development potential? We partner with landowners, buy entitled land and take properties through entitlement.
There is no one-size-fits-all land deal. Each one can have its own lenders, financials and offers, so contact us for details.

Common questions
What is a cash land buyer?
A person or company that buys land with its own funds rather than a mortgage, so there is no loan approval or financing contingency. Many specialize in rural land, inherited land or problem properties.
Are "we buy land" companies legitimate?
Some are, and some are lead generators or contract flippers. Ask for proof of funds, confirm a licensed Texas title company will close, and never pay an upfront fee. Check reviews and the company's real local presence.
What is the difference between a direct buyer and a wholesaler?
A direct buyer purchases the land for their own account. A wholesaler puts it under contract and then assigns the contract to another buyer, which can mean a lower final price or a failed closing if no end buyer appears. Texas law requires wholesalers to disclose that they are not the buyer; ask directly.
Do land buyers pay a fair price?
A cash buyer discounts for speed and risk, so expect less than a patient retail sale. Compare against comparable sales and a realtor opinion, and ask the buyer to explain their number.
How do I find land buyers near me?
Search for your county, look for buyers with local references and a real office or phone, and request proof of funds. Our area pages cover all 254 Texas counties.
Is there any cost to get an offer?
No. A legitimate buyer provides offers for free.
