What You Should Know When Selling Land by Owner
May 2, 2019Do You Have Land You’d Like to Sell Out of State?
Your quest for finding a buyer for your land property doesn’t have to stop at the state line. If you’re living in one state, and want to sell land in another state, here are some tips to sell land out of state.
Selling Land Property in Nearby States
What other states border yours? If you’re going to make a sales pitch for your land property, consider branching out to neighboring states.
Travel between states is quite common, especially for those who live near state lines. Chances are good that buyers in these states will have at least a passing knowledge of the region where your property is located. No, they don’t live in your state, but it’s hardly foreign territory to them, either.
When people begin searching for new jobs, they often apply in nearby states. Everybody needs a fresh start and a change of scenery sometimes. That’s good news for you, and for your property. If these people get hired, they’ve got to live somewhere, right? Why not on your land?
If your property is vacant or undeveloped, don’t be too hasty to write it off. It doesn’t matter if it’s rural or in a densely populated city. Some urban dwellers want to escape big cities, while others want to move to the city. You can make a sale either way.
Finding an Out-of-state Land Buyer
It’s not hard to find people or companies willing to purchase your out-of-state land property. There are even land buyer companies that will take care of all the legal details, so you don’t have to.
If you want to sell to individuals, or perhaps to a small land firm, you can find plenty of those online, too. There’s a ready-made audience for land, including land investors who scour classified ads daily, both in newspapers and online, in search of properties to add to their portfolios.
There are many online auction venues for land, of which eBay is the most widely known. There are also sites specializing in various types of land, such as vacant lots, farmland and even islands. A simple search will turn up land sites galore.
List Your Land Property in Neighboring States and Other Areas
You can list on sites like Craigslist, which doesn’t charge selling fees. Try listing your out-of-state land property in neighboring states. If that doesn’t work, then spread out to other areas. Be patient.
You might not get a response right away, but keep the listing active, and relist from time to time, so your land goes back to the top of the page.
Cities offer a larger pool of potential buyers, so advertise your land in the biggest nearby city. If you don’t get a response from anyone there after a few weeks, list in another city or another state.
Keep those property listings rolling.
