A direct cash offer vs. listing with a land broker: the honest comparison

Listing with a good land broker gets more money for most clean, accessible tracts. A direct sale is the better tool for the rest. Here's how to tell which parcel you have.

The number

We don't quote percentages, because every parcel is different and anyone who quotes one is guessing. Get the written offer, then get a broker's opinion of value; both are free, and the gap tells you what certainty costs on your land.

Questions people ask

Can I get both?

Yes. Request the offer here and call a land broker for a market opinion; nothing on this site obligates you.

Is the offer negotiable?

Usually a little. Buyers price from data, but they'd rather close than lose it over a few percent.

What's a land broker's commission?

It varies by broker and region; ask them. There's no commission or fee on a direct sale.

You get a call within 24 hours, usually the same day. One Texas land buyer checks the parcel and gives you a written offer with a closing date. No survey, no clean-up, no commission, no fee to you, and no list of companies calling. Buyers in this network typically pay the closing costs; the written offer spells out exactly what they cover.

  • 1. Tell us the county, the kind of land and the situation. Two minutes.
  • 2. You get a call within 24 hours. Your request goes to one Texas land buyer, not to a list.
  • 3. They check the parcel and put the offer in writing. Take it, or take it to a land broker and compare.

A cash as-is offer is below full market value. We say that up front because the buyer will too.
