- Make sure all owners are on board. If it’s jointly owned or inherited, clear communication is key.
- Respond quickly to our team so we can finalize your cash offer.
- Be flexible with your closing date to avoid delays.

He understands the nuances of buying land and also my unique needs. He is great to work with and if you have land you want to sell, Sell Land is the company and Bob is the man“

Why Selling Land in Texas for Cash Is Faster Than Listing With an Agent
Listing land through a real estate agent in Texas often means a long waiting game. Here’s why selling directly to a buyer like us moves faster:
- No listings or open houses
- No agent commissions or delays
- No need for buyer financing or appraisals
- No long negotiations
When you list land with an agent, it can take months just to find a qualified buyer, then another month or two to close. On average, land listings in Texas sit on the market for 90 to 180 days, depending on price and location. And even then, deals can fall through due to financing issues.
Compare that to 7 to 14 days for a direct sale. If you’re falling behind on taxes, it’s still possible to sell your land fast in Texas before the situation gets worse.
So, How Long Does It Really Take to Sell Land for Cash?
Most landowners we work with are ready to close in as little as 7 to 14 days. If there are no title issues or back taxes that need resolving, we can often close even faster.
That said, the timeline can vary based on a few key factors:
- Property Title Status: If you have a clean title and full ownership of the land, you’re already ahead of the game. But if the land was inherited, held jointly, or has a lien, we may need some extra time to sort that out. Expect 2 to 3 weeks minimum in those cases. You can learn more about selling inherited land in Texas and what to expect if that applies to your property.
- Access to Utilities and Roads: Land that’s easily accessible and has utility lines nearby tends to close faster. Buyers (even cash buyers) look for convenience and usability. If the lot is landlocked or undeveloped, we may still make an offer, but additional time might be needed for due diligence.
- County Records and Survey Availability: We can close faster when land records are up to date. If you already have a recent survey or plat map, great. If not, we may need to order one, especially in rural areas.
- Seller Readiness: Believe it or not, some delays come from the seller’s side. If you’re still undecided, gathering documents slowly, or not responding promptly to our team, that can push closing back. When you’re ready to move quickly, we are too.
- Local Market Conditions in United States: Even though we buy land for cash, local demand still affects how we evaluate and price the property. If you’re in a high-demand area like Central Texas, timelines tend to be shorter. In more rural regions, expect a little more time.
How We Determine the Offer for Your Land
Every piece of land is different. We build your offer based on:
- Lot size and shape
- Zoning and usage potential
- Access to roads and utilities
- Flood zone risk
- Property tax status
- Recent land sales in the area
Our goal is to make a fair all-cash offer based on the land’s current value and marketability. We keep the process straightforward from the first conversation to closing day.
Can You Sell Land With Back Taxes or Liens in Texas?
Yes. In fact, we often work with landowners who owe back taxes or have liens on their property. In most cases, we can still buy the land and take care of the outstanding costs at closing. That way, you avoid foreclosure or losing the property without payment.
If this is your situation, don’t wait. The longer those balances sit, the harder they are to resolve. Let us give you an offer and show you your options. If a lien is involved, it helps to understand the impact a tax lien can have on your sale.
