    5 Common Mistakes Land Owners Make When Selling Land

    Selling vacant land is rarely as simple as finding a buyer, agreeing on a price, and signing papers. Unlike residential homes, vacant parcels come with unique blind spots that aren’t visible from the road, such as boundary discrepancies, hidden tax liens, access disputes, and complex heirship issues. In this episode, JP Kilduff and Nick Marinos break down the five most frequent pitfalls landowners encounter when trying to sell their property, how these mistakes cause deals to fall through, and what you can do to protect your equity. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Delinquent Property Taxes & County Disconnects: How outdated mailing records between the county assessor and tax collector can lead to unexpected tax deed auctions, certificate liens, and title clouds.Physical vs. Legal Access: Why driving down a dirt path for decades or relying on a handshake agreement doesn’t equal legal access, and what title underwriters require before closing.Untangled Ownership & Probate Records: The critical documentation you need beforehand, from parcel IDs and deeds to death certificates and heirship affidavits, especially for inherited acreage.The Pitfalls of Guesswork Pricing: Why overpricing leaves land sitting on the market to go stale, and how extreme underpricing raises red flags about hidden defects like flood zones or topography issues.Choosing the Right Sales Path: Compare traditional real estate listings, For Sale By Owner (FSBO), and direct cash buyers, plus key red flags to watch for when vetting direct investment companies.Free Land Seller Checklist: Download our practical self-check guide directly from the show notes to evaluate your parcel’s taxes, access, and documentation before putting it on the market.

    How Cash Land Offers Work: Why the Number Looks Low

    The cash offer looked low — until we did the math. It's the question every land seller asks in the first five minutes: where does that number come from, and why is it lower than what my land is listed for? In this episode of The Land Seller's Briefing, we open a cash offer and walk through it line by line, so you can evaluate any buyer's number, ours included. Because here's the thing most sellers miss: retail price is not what you take home. A listing price is a starting point. Net proceeds are what actually land in your account after commission, months of property taxes and upkeep, closing costs, and buyer concessions. Once you run both paths side by side, the gap between "listed high" and "sold for cash" is almost always narrower than it first appears, and sometimes it closes entirely. In this episode: The five components behind every cash offer: comparable sales, access and usability discounts, resale timeline, holding and closing costs, and buyer marginA worked example comparing a listed sale to a cash sale: list price minus commission, minus 6–9 months of carrying costs, minus concessionsWhat raises your offer: legal deeded access, utilities near the road, clean title, buildable topographyWhat lowers it: back taxes, unresolved heirs, easement disputes, flood zone designation, no road frontageTimeline reality: why title work, not the buyer, is usually what sets your closing dateThe questions to ask any cash buyer about how they arrived at their numberMailbag: Can you negotiate a cash offer? And who pays closing costs on a land sale? Whether you're a veteran landowner or simply someone with acreage you no longer want, this episode gives you the math to make an informed decision, not a sales pitch.
