The Process of Selling Your Land

Unfortunately, selling raw land is not like selling stock. Neither hunting grounds nor a riverfront ranch can be unloaded from your portfolio with the hurried click of a desktop mouse. In fact, the time that it takes to decide that you’re going to sell your raw land, plus the time it takes to conclude a sale can usually be measured in weeks, months, or even a year’s time. That’s because selling anything that you own, have inherited, or have invested in can be an intimidating process. Especially, if you’re having a hard time letting go and, too, if don’t know where to start or what to expect in the end. In order to help yourself through the process, ask yourself a couple of simple questions.


Why Am I Selling?

Take a good honest look at your reason(s) for selling your raw land. Is it costing you too much in property tax expense? Is it located too far away from where your life is established? Are you unable to develop it and hope to make a profit to cover current or future bills? Keep in mind that your answer as to why you’re selling your property may be different from someone else’s; however, it’s just as important as everyone else’s. If it’s important to you, no answer is too silly.

Do I Need Help?

Though there are plenty of real estate novices in the world, there is equally enough help for the person who wants to sell just about any type of property. Help, that is, for those who have yet to learn what the MLS is to the savvy go-getter’s who, somehow, can overachieve anything; even, the selling of land. But whatever your case, there is always something to learn.

One of the best teachers on all things pertaining to raw land sales would be a land investor. A land investor is skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to changing land laws, land title exchanges, the assessment of raw parcels, and the negotiation and finalization of land sales.

Some land investors, like Lucas Properties, LLC, are even distressed property solution experts. They are not only masters in normal land sale situations; they are, also, accustomed to helping meet the sales needs of land owners who are under financial pressure or strain.

Be Encouraged

Overall, the process of selling your raw land can be one that you enjoy. With anything, it just takes a willingness to learn about your options and the patience to see it through.
