Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our land buying process, how we calculate offers, and what happens at closing.
General Questions
Who is Land Motives LLC?
Land Motives LLC is a nationwide real estate investment company that specializes in buying vacant, raw, and undeveloped land directly from owners for cash. We bypass traditional bank financing to provide fast, certain closings.
Why sell to you instead of using a Realtor?
Realtors charge a 6-10% commission, and land can sit on the MLS for months or years. When you sell to us, you pay zero fees, zero commissions, and we can close in as little as 14 days with cash in hand.
Do you buy land in my state?
Yes! We purchase land in all 50 states. Whether your property is in the desert of Arizona, the forests of Maine, or the rural counties of Texas, we can evaluate and make an offer on it.
The Offer & Process
How do you determine the offer price?
We use a data-driven approach. We analyze recent comparable sales in your county, current market demand, property topography, road access, and zoning regulations to arrive at a fair cash value.
Is there any obligation when I get an offer?
Absolutely none. Our property valuation and cash offer are 100% free and carry zero obligation. If the offer doesn't work for you, you can simply decline it and walk away.
How fast can you make an offer?
Once you submit your property information, our team goes to work immediately. We typically provide a written cash offer within 48 hours of your submission.
Closing & Costs
Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden fees. We cover 100% of all closing costs, title search fees, notary fees, and recording costs. The cash offer amount we present is the exact amount you will receive.
How fast can we close?
On average, transactions close within 14 to 30 days. The timeline is generally dictated by how quickly the local title company can perform the title search and prepare the documents.
How do I get paid?
At closing, the title company will disburse funds directly to you. You can choose to receive your payout via a secure bank wire transfer directly into your account, or via a certified cashier's check.
Property Specifics
My land has back taxes. Will you still buy it?
Yes. In most cases, we will still purchase the property. The outstanding back taxes will simply be paid off directly from the final closing proceeds by the title company, and you receive the remaining balance.
Do I need to clean or clear the land?
Not at all. We buy land in its "As-Is" condition. You do not need to clear trees, remove debris, conduct surveys, or make any improvements whatsoever.
The property is in probate or inherited. Can I sell it?
Yes, we have extensive experience buying inherited land and properties going through probate. Our title partners will help coordinate the necessary signatures from heirs to ensure a legal and smooth transfer.
Title & Paperwork
What paperwork do I need to provide?
Very little! Once we agree on a price, we will send you a simple, one-page purchase agreement. After you sign that, our title partners take over and prepare all the necessary transfer documents.
Do I need to hire my own title company or attorney?
No, you don't need to hire anyone. We use our established nationwide network of licensed, reputable title companies and real estate attorneys to handle the entire transaction securely.
How do I sign the final closing documents?
Most documents can be signed electronically. For documents that require a physical signature and notary (like the deed), the title company will arrange for a mobile notary to come directly to you, wherever you are.
The Land Motives Guarantee
We stand by our process. When you choose to sell your land to us, you are guaranteed a transparent, fee-free transaction.
Zero Hidden Fees
No commissions, no appraisal fees, and no closing costs. The cash offer amount you sign for is the exact amount wired to your bank account.
Real Cash Offers
We buy with our own capital. There are no bank approvals or financing contingencies that could cause the deal to fall through at the last minute.
On-Time Closings
We dictate the timeline based on your needs. Whether you want to close in 14 days or need a few months, we accommodate your schedule perfectly.
