Beth:
Hi, I’m Beth with TB Properties Buys Land and today I have a question for you: Has the dream changed? Do you have rural, vacant land that you had once bought with a dream of maybe building your forever home there? Maybe you were going to retire on this land, perhaps you just wanted to go camping with your kids. Did you move? Did things get busy? Did life circumstances just change what your priorities were? If so, you’ve got rural, vacant land that you’re not using. Did you know that it’s still costing you even if you’re not using it? One thing that it’s costing you on is property taxes. Depending on where you’re located in the country, what county you’re in, how big your property is, its value, the property taxes can be substantial. Do you live in a forest area that could have forest fires? Are you maintaining your property to prevent the spread of forest fires where you are?
If not, it you could grossly devalue your property if a fire were to decimate it. This means cleaning up the brush, or perhaps paying someone to get out there and to trim the trees or thin them out perhaps, these are all important things that need to be done in order to preserve the value of your property. How about access? Do you have a shared driveway or a road that goes to the property that needs to be maintained? Do you have an HOA fee or a property owner’s association (POA) fee that you have to pay each year? If you’re not utilizing this land, it could be costing you and you just don’t realize it. If that’s the case, maybe you should consider selling your property. There are different ways to sell your property. You can go the traditional way in working through a realtor. Realtor fees can vary on rural, vacant land. They can be as much as 10%, which means that is 10% that you could be losing on the sale of your property.
Additionally, I encourage you to go to the MLS and look at some of the properties that are on the market right now, look at how long they’ve been sitting there. There are some properties listed with realtors which have been there for a year, a year and a half, and sometimes even longer. Depending on who you list with and what kind of property you have, it could be a long time before you sell your property. I encourage you to consider selling to a real estate investor like TP Properties Buys Land. We’re going to look at your parcel and we will give you a straight-up quote. What I mean by that is the price that we quote you is exactly what you’re going to walk away with after we close. We pay all closing costs, which includes all your title fees for the buyer and the seller escrow fees. It also includes the recording fees with the county.
This would include excise taxes that are involved there, title insurance. It is important to note that all of this goes through a title company so that you know that you’re not at a risk of being scammed. Just like when you’re buying or a selling house, we close through a safe and secure reputable title company. They do the paperwork, they file it with the county, they collect the certified funds from us, and they distribute them to you as the seller. In this way you can be confident that the transaction is going to be done correctly and securely, but it’s also easy. I mean, we have a chance of buying your property and closing in three to four weeks versus sitting on the MLS for 6 months, 12 months, maybe even longer. Additionally, you know exactly what the price going to be. In some cases, you list it for a really high price and then you keep dropping it, dropping and dropping it, and you never really know what you’re going to sell it, then you split closing costs and pay for the realtor and by the time you receive your funds it is grossly different than what you thought it was going to be. With TB Properties Buys Land, we’re going to give you a price that’s exactly what you’re going to walk away with, and you know it’s going to be done correctly.
