Over the time working with landowners across the country looking to sell their vacant land properties, our team at Elder Tree Investments has frequently heard assumptions and misconceptions about our direct land purchasing services. Let’s take the opportunity to dispel some of the most common land selling myths:
Myth #1: "Direct buyers only make lowball offers way under market value."
✓ Reality: Our land assessment and analytics processes are comprehensive in evaluating all factors related to a property’s true value including location, zoning, size, access, topography, development potential and recent comparable sales. We make defensible and market-backed cash offers reflecting the genuine value for each unique land asset - pricing in our competitive advantages such as receiving a quick offer, enjoying a streamlined sale process tailored to your timeline, benefiting from our expertise with no need for realtors or complex negotiations, gaining trust through our transparent approach without hidden fees or commissions, and experiencing peace of mind in working with our reputable, family-owned company.
Myth #2: "You have to deal with shady 'We Buy Houses' type companies."
✓ Reality: Elder Tree Investments is an experienced professional real estate investment firm consisting of specialists. We operate under consistent due diligence and compliance protocols without any shady tactics common with rogue house flippers. Our reputation is built on reliable, ethical transactions.
Myth #3: "You sign over all your rights and control by accepting their offer."
✓ Reality: While our purchase process is streamlined, landowners always maintain full say over whether to accept our offer or not after conducting our due diligence evaluation. There is no pressure or obligation. If our offer is accepted, our contracts are fully transparent about timeline and conditions.
Myth #4: "Using a direct land buyer company is a hassle and time-waster"
✓ Reality: We actually strive to provide landowners the most efficient, hassle-free experience possible by handling all prep work, due diligence, closing logistics and more through our end-to-end services. A typical seamless transaction with us can be fully completed in just weeks.
Myth #5: "They only buy cheap rural land nobody else wants"
✓ Reality: The range of land properties we acquire is diverse from residential to industrial parcels and everything in between across all areas - urban, suburban and rural. If it’s vacant land, we have an appetite for sophisticated acquisitions.
