How to Sell Your Land
What To Expect
-
We’ll talk through your property, learn what matters most to you, and discuss pricing. Please feel free to ask any questions—our goal is for you to fully understand who we are and decide if we’re a good fit.
-
I’ll follow up with a firm offer after the initial estimate. You can decide whether it works for you. Take a few days if needed. Nothing is binding until we both sign a formal purchase agreement.
-
After everyone signs, I’ll send the agreement to a local title company. They’ll take care of the title work and make sure everything is handled correctly. This usually takes about 30–40 days. Once we close, you’ll receive the purchase price, and the new deed will be issued.
Timeline and What Happens Next
Most transactions close within 30-40 days, though we can work with your timeline if you need more or less time. Here's a detailed breakdown:
Days 1-3: Initial Contact and Property Review After you reach out, we'll schedule a call to discuss your property. We'll ask about acreage, location, access, utilities, and any unique features or challenges. If you have a survey, deed, or tax records handy, those help, but they're not required for an initial estimate.
Days 3-7: Offer Preparation We research comparable sales, review county records, and may use mapping tools or aerial imagery to evaluate the property. We typically don't need to visit in person for an initial offer, though we may schedule a visit before closing.
Days 7-10: Offer Presentation You'll receive a written offer via email with clear terms. Take your time reviewing it. Ask questions. There's no pressure and no obligation.
Days 10-14: Agreement (if accepted) If you accept, we'll send a formal purchase agreement. Review it carefully, and feel free to have an attorney look it over. Once both parties sign, we move forward.
Days 14-45: Title Work and Closing We send the agreement to a local title company. They'll conduct a title search, prepare closing documents, and coordinate the closing. You can typically close remotely by mail or email if you prefer not to travel.
Closing Day Funds are transferred, the deed is recorded, and you're done. The title company handles everything.
Costs and Fees
One of the biggest advantages of selling to Summit Land is that we cover the closing costs. You won't pay:
Real estate agent commissions (typically 6-10% of sale price)
Title company fees
Recording fees
Transfer taxes (in most cases)
The price we offer is the price you receive. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises at closing.
