Selling vacant land the traditional route by listing with brokers and waiting on financed buyers can take anywhere from several months to several years in Florida depending on market conditions. This leaves many sellers frustrated and unable to access equity tied up in land.

However, by selling directly to land investors or an established cash land buyer like Land Boss, Florida property owners can divest their land quickly and easily in as little as 7-14 days in most cases.

Working with an established cash buyer like Land Boss provides Florida land sellers major advantages:

Questions to Ask a Cash Land Buyer in Florida

If you

decide to explore direct cash sale options for your Florida land, here are key questions to ask prospective cash buyers:

Where do you operate?

Confirm the buyer actively purchases land in Florida, ideally statewide, not just locally. Many national buyers struggle closing remote deals.

What types of land do you buy?

Seek a buyer able to purchase all land types - residential, commercial, rural acreage, raw land etc.

What condition of land will you buy?

Choose a buyer able to purchase as-is condition land with any issues. Avoid buyers requiring improvements pre-sale.

How long does the entire sale process take?

Ask for recent examples of their typical time from initial outreach to funded closing. 7-30 days is ideal.

Do you have funds ready to close quickly?

Confirm they have acquisition capital on hand earmarked specifically for purchasing investment land across Florida. Lack of liquidity delays deals.

Preparing Your Land for Sale the Right Way

To maximize appeal for potential Florida land buyers, smart preparations and enhancements greatly help showcase properties:

  • Remove trash/debris - Clean up clutter, abandoned cars, fallen trees, etc. for a neater appearance.
  • Grading/access - If feasible, grade access roads or trails into the property interior to enable easier showings.
  • Photos/videos - Take high quality visuals of the property to use for online listings and marketing outreach. Drone videos can provide unique vantage points.
  • Soil tests - Buyers will want to see proof of buildable soil composition. Conduct testing early.

While costs are involved, strategic upfront investment makes your land far more marketable at premium prices to prospective buyers down the road.

Leveraging Partial Sales to Accelerate Timelines

For very large acreage parcels that may take years to sell in their entirety, Florida sellers can consider marketing strategy of breaking up and selling pieces of the tract through “partial sales” to generate immediate revenue while continuing to market the remaining bulk acreage.

Owner Financing Land Sales in Florida

Offering owner financing is a powerful method to accelerate land sales while still retaining long term ownership. With owner financing, the seller carries a mortgage on the property for the buyer through installments over time rather than requiring a lump cash payment. This flexibility broadens the pool of potential buyers able to purchase property.

1031 Exchanges in Florida

If selling appreciated Florida real estate, a 1031 exchange preserves equity tax-deferred by reinvesting in replacement property. Exchanges allow upgrading into higher value properties through equities built via land ownership compounding tax-deferred.
