Hi, I’m Beth with TB Properties Buys Land. As property taxes are due or coming due soon, the question I have for you is this: has the dream changed for you? The reason I ask this is I was talking to a gentleman just yesterday from Washington State and he told me that he had bought 40 acres up in Washington State many years ago. He and his wife had planned to build and retire there at some point; however, their dream changed and they decided to settle down in another state. As we were chatting, a comment that he made really struck me; he said that he’s paid more in property taxes over the years for this property that he’s owned than he did on the original purchase price when he first bought the parcel. As time has gone by and he’s held onto this land, he’s been paying property taxes on it. He’s had to go up there from time to time to take care of it, trim trees so that it wasn’t at risk of forest fires and things like that and he has spent a bunch of money and he is not using it.
He and his wife made the strategic decision to finally sell it and with that we are purchasing their property with cash and we’re closing through a title company. If you are in the same boat and have land that you’ve been holding onto for a long time, maybe it was passed down to you and you inherited it, or perhaps you had bought it and the dream has changed. Maybe you’ve got children now and your children are keeping you in a certain location or you’re planning to retire someplace else. This is an easy way for you to sell your land all by yourself, without having to solicit the help of a realtor. You can sell to a real estate investor, such as TB Properties Buys Land.
Feel free to reach out to us across our website, send us an email or give us a call. We will look at your property. We’ll give you a quote. And with this quote, it is a cash quote. And in this quote, this is us covering all of your closing costs. That includes the fees that go to the title company. Those are called escrow fees and we pay for both the buyer and the seller escrow fees. We will also pay for title insurance which means the title will be insured on this transaction. We will also cover any transfer taxes and recording fees. This means the quote that we give you is what you’re going to bring home. That’s the money that you’re going to have in your pocket after the transaction’s completed. We close through a title company, just like you would when you’re buying or selling a home, because it’s safer.
The title company will prepare the title paperwork, the title commitment as well as the closing documents. We know it’s going to be recorded correctly and accurately with the county, but we also know our payment will be protected and so will your property. The title company will require us, as the buyer, to send certified funds directly to the title company and they will not close that transaction, your property will not be sold, until they have all the paperwork in from both you the seller and we, the buyer, as well as our certified funds in their checking account. Once that’s closed out, they’ll be able to fund you the transaction. And because TB Properties Buys Land pays in cash, we can close a lot faster. In some places we close as fast as two weeks. If the title company’s a little bit slower, it may be three to four weeks. However, you’re still getting your cash quickly. If somebody is requiring a lender, it may take them 60 to 90 days just for that loan to be approved and maybe even to get an appraiser out there.
When working with TB Properties Buys Land, you can be secure in the transaction, knowing that we’re closing through a title company, you can be assured that we’re going to close quickly since we pay in cash. But if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. If you’re holding onto that piece of property that you haven’t been using, your dream has changed, you’re paying more on property taxes and you can be using that money for something else that’s fun and useful, reach out to us, we’ll buy your property quickly and it’ll be secure. We look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks.
