How to Sell Vacant Land Yourself

The are two options available to sell your land: selling through a Real Estate Agent or selling yourself.

Option 1: Selling through a Real Estate Agent.

The most common choice that land sellers have is to sell through a real estate agent. Agents will list your property and find buyers for it, and then negotiate on your behalf and help you with the paperwork.

Problem is, many property owners discover that there aren’t a lot of land buyers, and few real estate agents are truly “experts” in buying and selling land. As well, if an agent is able to find a buyer, you will have to pay commissions to the agent, which can get quite expensive.



Option 2: Selling Yourself
Another choice is for sellers to sell land themselves. You do the same work as the agent and are able to save the commission that you’d have to pay the agent, ultimately pocketing a little more cash than if you sold the traditional way.

But many of the same problems exist here, too: Land sellers who choose to sell their land themselves soon find that there really aren’t a lot of vacant land buyers out there. The average person just doesn’t buy vacant land.
