There are about 30,650 farms in New York. That's useful background. It does not mean your leftover woods are worth the statewide farm average. We look at your access, your taxes, and whether we can close.
Upstate leftovers, inherited woods, and lots that aren't a sure house site are what stall on the market. School, town, and county taxes still show up on idle land.
How this works with us
• You get a number you can say yes or no to
• We buy it as-is
• No realtor commission on a sale to us
• We talk through closing costs and back taxes before you sign
• If we can't buy it, we say so
Tired of the tax bill? Start with a cash offer. No obligation.
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. Hudson leftovers, Adirondack lots, and inherited acreage included if we can close them. 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 New York closings usually work
New York land deals almost always have a real-estate attorney on each side. State and some local transfer taxes can apply. Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks, and a leftover lot upstate are not one market. We buy unused land as-is and follow the attorney closing.
Sell New York land without listing it
If you want to sell New York land for cash, or sell New York 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.
New York vacant land is Upstate leftovers, rural lots, and inherited woods — not a Manhattan story. Seasonal access and septic questions stall listings. Cash as-is is for unused private land that still draws a tax bill.
The New York facts that change the number
New York’s USDA farm row describes agricultural land upstate and in the Finger Lakes. The parcels that stall are often inherited woods, corridor leftovers, and lots a retail buyer wanted to be a sure house site. We buy unused private land. We do not attach Adirondack-resort or NYC-commute pricing to a rural APN. Typical files: Upstate wooded remnants; Rural vacant lots; Farm-edge leftovers. Counties we actually see, as context, not a doorway list: Erie, Monroe, Onondaga, Albany. We do not price this like Adirondack resort or NYC-commute premiums.

Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks, and a leftover lot upstate are not one market. We buy unused land as-is and follow the attorney closing. A cash sale is usually 3–5 times faster than selling with a realtor. Title still has to be something we can take. You can say no to the number.

What an acre of New York land is “worth”
USDA NASS Land Values 2025 Summary put New York farm real estate at $4,300 an acre in 2025. That number is a statewide farm average — land and buildings on farms — not a bid on leftover vacant land. New York has about 47,126 square miles of land area, per the U.S. Census Bureau state area measurements.

Why New York Owners Choose a Cash Land Buyer
• School and town tax on idle woods gets expensive.
• A parent's woodlot splits among siblings who left the state.
• Regular buyers want a house site. We can still buy land as land.
• Seasonal roads stall listings.
• Everyone wants a clean split, not another year of bills.
What we look at: upstate woods, rural lots, farm leftovers, inherited parcels, and tracts with access issues.
We've looked at land in Erie, Monroe, Onondaga, Albany, Dutchess, Ulster, and Jefferson. That's just to be specific.
1. Tell us about the property
