What landowners say
Landowners rate Land Boss 4.6 out of 5 on Google (27 reviews). These come from people across the country who actually closed with us.
Kind, informative, and easy to work with!
I recently sold land to them and it was such a smooth and simple process. I would 100% recommend.
They were fast, friendly, and easy to work with. It was as fast as it could have been.
Outstanding service buying my land in Georgia. Excellent company to deal with.
Closing with us is usually 3–5 times faster than selling with a realtor. Title work and your schedule still set the exact date.
Who actually buys the land
Dallas Waldon is the owner and CEO of Land Boss, which she founded in 2018. She personally speaks with every seller, underwrites the offer, secures funding, and handles communication through closing. You are not handed off to an overseas call center. Hundreds of vacant-land deals in all 50 states. Downstate leftovers and town-edge lots, not a Chicago infill pitch. Call (916) 262-7241 if you would rather talk first.
Listing vs selling to us
A cash offer is a trade: speed and certainty for a price that is often below a perfect retail sale. We would rather say that than hide it.
| List with a realtor | Sell to Land Boss | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Often months of showings, and the buyer’s loan can still fall through | Usually 3–5 times faster than selling with a realtor. Title work and your schedule still set the date. |
| Fees | Agent commission, often in the 5–6% range, plus listing prep | No realtor commission on a sale straight to us |
| Condition | Cleanup, maybe a perc test, maybe a survey before anyone writes an offer | As-is. You do not have to clear it or fix it up for us. |
| Price | Can reach retail if a qualified buyer shows up and actually closes | Cash, and often less than a dream retail number — that is the trade |
| Who is on the other side | Whoever offers, if they close | Us. We buy with our own money. |
How Illinois closings usually work
Illinois vacant-land deals typically close through a title company. Grain-country averages do not price a southern-Illinois wooded remnant. We buy unused land as-is and talk through taxes before you sign.

Why Illinois Owners Choose a Cash Land Buyer
• A leftover that fell off a farm still hits the tax roll.
• Family in other states inherit downstate dirt.
• Regular buyers want a house site. We can still buy land as land.
• Drainage and access questions stall listings.
• Everyone wants a clean split of proceeds.
What we look at: farm-edge remnants, rural lots, inherited parcels, vacant ground that doesn't fit a regular listing.
We've looked at land in Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, Winnebago, and Madison. That's just to be specific.
