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. Leftover 10 acres is not a working farm. If we offer, you work with Dallas. 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 Iowa closings usually work
Iowa closings typically run through a title company. This is farm country, which is why a creek bottom or timber remnant is easy to mis-price if you start at a statewide farm average. We buy unused ground, not a commercial farm unit.
Sell Iowa land without listing it
If you want to sell Iowa land for cash, or sell Iowa land fast without a listing, you are talking to a buyer — not an agent. Dallas Waldon owns Land Boss. She has since 2018. She speaks with sellers herself, underwrites, secures funding, and handles communication. Call (916) 262-7241. (916) 665-0535 is also a Land Boss line.
Iowa is farm country — and that is exactly why leftover lots and odd remnants can be hard to list. A cash buyer who does not need the ground to pencil as a grain unit can be the cleaner exit for inherited extras and non-tillable pieces.
The Iowa facts that change the number
Iowa’s USDA row is one of the most farm-heavy in the country. That average per-acre farm value is not a bid for a creek bottom, a timbered remnant, or a town-edge lot. We buy unused private land; we do not confuse it with a 160-acre cash-rent unit. Typical files: Farm remnants that no longer fit an operation; Timber and creek pieces; Rural lots. Counties we actually see, as context, not a doorway list: Polk, Linn, Scott, Johnson. We do not price this like Class-A tillable premiums on ground that is not Class A.

What an acre of Iowa land is “worth”
USDA NASS Land Values 2025 Summary put Iowa farm real estate at $9,790 an acre in 2025. That number is a statewide farm average — land and buildings on farms — not a bid on leftover vacant land. Iowa has about 55,857 square miles of land area, per the U.S. Census Bureau state area measurements. Read the longer numbers in what an acre of Iowa land is worth and evaluating the Iowa land market.

Why Iowa Owners Choose a Cash Land Buyer
• A leftover that fell off a farm still gets a tax bill.
• Siblings inherit a split nobody farms.
• Regular buyers want tillable ground. We can still buy unused land.
• Out-of-state heirs want a sale, not another year of taxes.
• Access and shape questions stall listings.
What we look at: farm remnants, rural lots, inherited parcels, vacant ground that isn't a commercial farm.
We've looked at land in Polk, Linn, Scott, Johnson, Black Hawk, Woodbury, and Pottawattamie. That's just to be specific.
If you want to sell, send the details.
