How selling land in Texas works
Land sells differently from houses. There are fewer buyers, no standard comparable sales, and every tract has its own story: access, water, minerals, soil, flood risk and taxes. That is why land listings often sit for months, and why a direct cash sale appeals to owners who want it done.
- You tell us about the property. Location, acreage, any known issues. The form takes about a minute.
- We research it. We look at the county appraisal record, deed, plat and survey if available, floodplain and utilities, access, and recent land sales nearby.
- We make a written cash offer. We explain how we reached the number. You can accept, negotiate or walk away at no cost.
- A Texas title company opens escrow. It orders a title commitment, finds any liens or taxes, and prepares the closing documents.
- You close and get paid. Funds are wired or paid by check at closing, usually within one to two weeks.
What kinds of Texas land can you sell to us?
We look at almost any land in the state. Common types:
- Vacant lots
- Raw acreage
- Ranch and hunting land
- Farm and pasture
- Inherited land
- Land with no road access
- Tax-delinquent land
- Land with liens or back taxes
- Landlocked parcels
- Heir property with multiple owners
- Timber and recreational tracts
- Land with an old home or structure
If you have a specific situation, see our pages on acreage, ranch and farm land, vacant lots, land with back taxes and landlocked land.
What decides the price of Texas land
Unlike houses, land is priced on a handful of factors that vary tract by tract. Here is what we weigh:
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Legal access | A recorded road or easement is the single biggest value driver. No access can cut value sharply. |
| Location and county | Proximity to growth corridors like I-35, SH 130 and US 290 changes what a builder or investor will pay. |
| Water and utilities | Availability of public water, electric and sewer, or the likelihood of a good well and septic. |
| Floodplain and terrain | FEMA mapped area, drainage, slope and soil, all of which limit the buildable portion. |
| Zoning and restrictions | Texas counties generally cannot zone, but cities, ETJs and deed restrictions can limit use. |
| Minerals and easements | Severed minerals, pipelines and utility easements reduce usable area and sometimes control it. |
| Taxes and liens | Back taxes, ag-valuation rollback and liens are paid from proceeds and reduce what you net. |
Cash offer vs. listing your land: an honest comparison
A listing can bring a higher price if the land is easy to sell and you are not in a hurry. A direct sale wins on speed, certainty and cost. Here is how they compare in practice:
| Sell to us | List with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | None | Commonly 5 to 6 percent, sometimes more on land |
| Time to close | 7 to 30 days, or your date | Often several months to a year on land |
| Showings and marketing | None | Photos, signs, buyer visits |
| Financing risk | None, cash | Buyer loan can fail, and many lenders are cautious on raw land |
| Price | Discounted for speed and certainty | Potentially higher, not guaranteed |
| Carrying costs while waiting | None | Taxes, insurance and upkeep continue |
Texas rules sellers should know
The seller usually pays for the owner's title policy
By Texas custom the seller buys the title insurance policy for the buyer. In a direct cash sale this is something we typically take on, but confirm it in writing in any offer you receive.
Agricultural valuation and rollback
Many Texas tracts are taxed at a lower ag or wildlife-management valuation. If the use changes after a sale, a rollback tax can apply for up to three prior years plus interest. We explain how it applies to your parcel.
Mineral rights
Texas land is often sold surface-only or with minerals, and prior owners may have reserved them. We check the chain of title and are clear about what we are buying.
Homestead and spousal signatures
If the land includes your homestead, a spouse generally must sign even if title is in one name. The title company will tell you what is needed.
Texas has no state income tax
Federal taxes can still apply to a land sale. Talk to a tax professional about your gain, basis and any 1031 exchange options.
Texas regions we buy in
We buy statewide. The land market looks very different by region, and we price accordingly:
- Central Texas and Hill Country: rocky limestone, wells, aquifer rules and heavy growth pressure along I-35. See our Austin-area pages.
- Blackland Prairie (east of I-35): flat clay farmland, suited to hay, row crops and increasingly to development.
- East Texas and the Piney Woods: timber, pasture and recreational land.
- Gulf Coast: flood zones, coastal insurance and drainage drive value.
- South Texas: large brush ranches, hunting and oil and gas history.
- West Texas and the Panhandle: big acreage, water and wind or oil leases.
Common reasons people sell land to us
- Inherited a tract they do not want to manage
- Property taxes and upkeep are a drag on an unused parcel
- The land has issues that scare off conventional buyers
- Need cash quickly for another purchase, debt or a life change
- Tired of calls from agents and tire-kickers

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
How fast can I sell land in Texas for cash?
A straightforward sale can close in 7 to 30 days. Most of the time is the title company ordering a commitment and a survey review. If you need longer, we can set a later closing date.
Who pays closing costs when I sell land in Texas?
In Texas the seller customarily pays for the owner's title policy, and the buyer pays the other closing costs. In a direct cash sale we typically cover the standard closing costs, and the purchase agreement states exactly who pays what.
Do I need a survey to sell my land?
Not always. A new survey is often required for a conventional buyer's lender. In a cash sale we can often work from an existing survey or the deed description, and we can order one ourselves if needed.
What if my land has a lien or unpaid taxes?
Most liens and delinquent property taxes can be paid from your sale proceeds at closing. The title company issues a payoff figure and settles them before you receive the balance.
Will I owe a rollback tax on agricultural land?
If the land has an agricultural (1-d-1) valuation and its use changes after the sale, taxing units can bill additional tax for up to three prior years plus interest. Who pays the rollback is negotiated in the contract, and we explain it before you sign.
Do I keep my mineral rights when I sell?
Only if the contract reserves them. Many Texas sales convey the surface only, or surface plus minerals, depending on the deal. We tell you what we are offering for and discuss reserving minerals if they matter to you.
Is a cash offer lower than a listing price?
Usually, yes, because you are trading price for speed, certainty, and no commission, repairs or carrying costs. We show you the comparison so you can decide with real numbers.
