You pay taxes on land you never use
The bill shows up every year whether you visit or not, and a missed one can turn into a lien. Selling ends the bill and the liability that comes with owning it.

Why landowners call us
Simple for you, even when the situation isn't
Most people who call us aren't in a rush. They're paying a bill every year for land they don't use, or they've ended up with a parcel nobody in the family has a plan for. If the land costs you more than it gives back, a direct sale is worth a look.
You inherited it
Family land carries real weight, and it can carry messy title too, like a deed still in a grandparent's name or heirs in different places. We work through that with the title company so it doesn't land on you.
It's a long way from home
Keeping an eye on land you can't see is hard. Overgrowth, dumping and boundary questions pile up. We buy it as-is, wherever you live.
Your listing has been sitting
The longer a parcel sits, the more buyers assume it's overpriced, and new listings keep showing up next to it. A direct sale skips the wait and the showings.
How it works
Three steps, and we handle the hard parts
-
Evaluate your land
Fill out the form, call or text. The county and a parcel number or address is enough to start. We pull the records, the maps and the recent sales nearby.
-
Make an offer
We look at your land ourselves and send a written cash offer, usually within a week. There's no cost and no obligation. If it doesn't work for you, that's totally fine.
-
Send you cash
A licensed title company or closing attorney runs the closing. You sign at home with a mobile notary or online, and your money is wired to you. Back taxes and liens are paid at closing, so you never bring money to the table.
Most closings take a few weeks from a signed agreement. The title company sets the pace, so we give you a closing date once title work is in, and we keep you posted the whole way.
Selling direct vs listing
Why wait months for a maybe?
| What it costs you | Listing with an agent | Selling to Green Rock |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | Often 6 to 10 percent on land | None |
| Closing costs | Usually split with the buyer | We pay them |
| Listing and marketing fees | Photos, signs and listing fees | None |
| Time on the market | Often 6 to 12 months | No listing, no showings |
| Buyer financing | The deal can fall apart if the loan does | Cash, no financing contingency |
| Cleanup, surveys, inspections | Often asked for by buyers | None, we buy as-is |
We're a land investing company, so we buy at a bit of a discount off of retail. The trade-off is that you don't pay fees, you don't wait on a buyer's financing to come through, and you don't have to manage the closing.
Win-Win or No Deal. If the numbers don't work for both of us, we'll tell you plainly.
Our guarantees
What we promise every seller
-
A written offer within a week
Once we have what we need on your land, you get your offer in writing, usually within seven days.
-
If we say we'll close, we close
When we sign, we follow through. If title work turns up a real problem, you hear about it right away and in plain terms.
-
Zero fees, zero commissions
You pay nothing to sell. We cover the closing costs and the title company handles the paperwork.
-
You're never left wondering
You'll know where things stand from the first call to the wire. Call or text any time and you'll get a real answer.
-
Back taxes and liens handled
Within reason, back taxes and liens are paid at closing out of the sale. You never bring money to the table.
-
Win-Win or No Deal
It has to work for you or we don't do it. No pressure, and no deadline we made up.
Closing day
Close from your kitchen table
You don't have to set foot in a title office. The title company sends a mobile notary to your door or sets up an online signing, whichever is easier for you.
Once everything is signed, your money is wired to you, usually within one to two business days. Back taxes and liens come out of the sale, so you never bring money to the table.
Included at no cost
What every seller gets
- A licensed title company. Your closing runs through a licensed title company or closing attorney, with the money held in escrow until it's done.
- A mobile notary. If you'd rather not drive anywhere, a notary comes to you at no charge, or you sign online.
- A free call with us. Talk through your options, even if you're not ready to sell yet.
- Help with messy title. A deed in a late parent's name or several heirs is common. We work through it with the title company so it doesn't land on you.

Questions
What sellers ask us most
Don't see yours? Call or text (804) 578-7905 or email [email protected].
What kind of land do you buy?
Vacant land across the Southeast and the Midwest. Wooded tracts, pasture, lots in subdivisions, land without road frontage and land with back taxes. We buy as-is, so you don't need to clear it, survey it or clean it up first.
How do you come up with your offer?
We look at recent sales of similar land nearby, then the access, the utilities and the terrain. When we send you a number, we'll show you how we got there.
Why is your offer below retail?
We're a land investing company, so we buy at a bit of a discount off of retail. The trade-off is that you don't pay fees, you don't wait on a buyer's financing to come through, and you don't have to manage the closing.
Do I pay any fees or commissions?
No. Zero fees, zero commissions. We pay the closing costs, and the title company handles the paperwork.
What happens with back taxes or liens?
They're handled at closing. The title company pays them off out of the sale, so you never bring money to the table. If they're large, we'll talk it through before you sign so there are no surprises.
Who handles the closing?
A licensed title company or closing attorney. They run the title search, hold the money in escrow and make sure the deed is recorded properly.
Do I have to travel to close?
No. You can close from your kitchen table. The title company sends a mobile notary to you or sets up an online signing, whichever is easier for you.
How long does it take?
Most closings take a few weeks once the purchase agreement is signed. Title work sets the pace, and something like an old lien or a missing heir can add time. We give you a closing date once title is in, and we keep you posted the whole way.
When do I get paid?
The title company wires your money once everything is signed, usually within one to two business days of your signing.
What's in the purchase agreement?
It's a short contract that sets the price, the parcel and the timeline, and it protects both sides. We're happy to walk through it with you line by line, in plain English.
The land is inherited or the title is messy. Can you still buy it?
Often, yes. A deed in a late parent's name, several heirs, an old lien, these come up all the time. We work through it with the title company, and we'll tell you plainly if something can't be fixed.
Do you pay cash?
Yes. Cash, with no financing contingency, so you're never waiting on a buyer's loan to come through.
Am I committing to anything if I ask for an offer?
No. An offer costs you nothing and you're free to say no. If it doesn't work for you, that's totally fine.
I got a text or letter from you. What's the reference number for?
It helps us find your parcel quickly. Put it in the form or mention it when you call.
What do you do with my information?
We use it to look at your land and to reach you about it, and we don't sell it. Our privacy policy has the details.
