When most people think about selling property, their first instinct is to call a realtor. While this may make sense for houses, it’s often a costly mistake for vacant landowners. The reality is that most realtors are trained and experienced in selling homes—not raw land. And when your land is treated like a house listing, you risk wasted time, money, and missed opportunities.
Why Most Realtors Aren’t Land Experts
- Different Market, Different Buyers
Selling land is not the same as selling a house. Homebuyers are looking for turnkey properties, while land buyers often have very specific needs (zoning, utilities, acreage, road access). Realtors without land expertise may not know how to reach these niche buyers. - Pricing Challenges
Many realtors price land using home comps, which simply don’t translate. Overpricing makes your land sit for months—or years—while underpricing leaves money on the table. - Marketing Gaps
Realtors are skilled at staging and photographing homes. But vacant land doesn’t photograph—or sell—the same way. Without specialized marketing strategies, your listing may get little attention. - Commission Costs
Even if the land does sell, commissions can eat into your profit—sometimes more than the back taxes or carrying costs you were trying to escape.
The Risks of Listing with the Wrong Realtor
- Long Listing Periods: Many landowners wait years for their property to sell.
- Low Interest: Without proper marketing, your land won’t attract serious buyers.
- Frustration & Expenses: Meanwhile, you’re still paying taxes, HOA dues, or upkeep.
