I bought a few acres so I had a project to work on when I retired – but never got round to starting the build. I got 5 prices when I decided to sell and Sell Land’s was the best by far. Thank you.

Is Sell Land a Land Broker Service?

In short, no, we’re not land brokers. We buy vacant land properties directly from owners and then develop that land ourselves. We’re not middlemen, we don’t charge commissions, and, with us, you’ll never be waiting around for the right buyer to come along.

Why not fill out the form on this page and see what we can offer for your land? We buy with cash, we close quickly, and we use real estate attorneys and closing companies to make sure your interests are always protected.

We’re also always happy to answer your questions over the phone too. If we’re not the right land buyers for you, we’ll tell you right away.

Fill in our form on this page or call us at 314-639-9800 and let us get you a fair offer and answers to all your questions.

What Does Selling Through a Land Broker Involve?

Land brokers are middlemen. They make their money by connecting their clients (people who want to sell land) with buyers. They charge a commission for this – often around 10% of the final sale price, although often significantly more if the plot you’re selling is small.

Although land brokers will sometimes help you to sell rural property, farmland, farms, ranch property, plots designed for homes, and other small listings, they typically look for larger deals – significant plots of land that are prime for development by companies looking to place commercial properties.

While brokers and other land realtors will often have customers lined up for large land properties, this usually isn’t the case for smaller vacant plots. As such, selling through a land broker will usually take significantly longer than selling to a land-buying company – and in many cases, even an experienced and well-connected broker will struggle to find customers for smaller plots.

Put simply, even using a good land broker (a member of the Realtors Land Institute or National Association of Realtors) will usually take a long time. You’ll have to pay a sizeable commission, and buyers may not be in a position to pay cash for your land.

How Does Sell Land Compare to Land Brokers?


We’re not middlemen. When we make an offer for your property, we’re the ones buying it. This offers you a range of advantages:

  • We’ll always close quicker than a land broker
  • We’ll be paying cash – so you don’t have to offer or wait for financing
  • We don’t take any commission or costs from your price – what we offer is what you’ll get
  • You don’t have to pay closing costs with Sell Land – we’ll cover those
  • You don’t risk last-minute expenses with us – we’ll cover those too
  • You don’t have to prepare your land for sale or to get the best price – we buy as-is

So, are land brokers bad news? Not necessarily. If you’ve got time on your hands, you’re in no rush for your money, you don’t mind paying a commission based on the value of your land, and you don’t mind being tied into a contract, then land brokers might suit you. However, if you’d like cash in your pocket and a closing date as little as two weeks away, Sell Land might be a better option for you.
