When “Investors” Don’t Really Intend to Buy Your Land — and How TB Properties Buys Land Is Different
Selling vacant land can feel like stepping into uncharted territory. Most sellers assume that once they sign a contract with a real estate investor, the deal is as good as done. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
There’s a growing practice in the land-buying industry where so-called “investors” tie up a property under contract, then turn around and market it to find their buyer. If they can’t resell it quickly, they walk away—leaving the seller with wasted time, missed opportunities, and unnecessary frustration.
Let’s unpack the risks and show you how TB Properties Buys Land does things differently.
The Risky Reality of “Tie-Up and Flip” Tactics
Not all real estate investors actually plan to purchase the property themselves. Instead, they:
- Sign a Purchase Agreement — locking up your land under contract.
- List or Market It — trying to sell it to someone else before they’ve ever closed with you.
- Walk Away if It Doesn’t Sell — leaving you back at square one, sometimes months later.
The problems with this approach:
- Lost Time – Your property is off the market while they search for a buyer, which can take weeks or months—or never happen at all.
- Missed Opportunities – You could lose serious, ready-to-buy prospects while your land is tied up.
- No Control – The “buyer” isn’t really committed; they’re just hoping to profit if they can flip it quickly.
- Closing Uncertainty – You have no guarantee they’ll ever close on the deal.
