Sell Your Land for Cash, Fast, As Is in Scranton PA!

We make cash offers on vacant land, and traditional lenders play no part in it.

No mortgage underwriting, no bank appraisal, no inspection contingency that lets someone back out three weeks in because they decided your piece of land is too risky to lend against.

That is the whole difference. A regular buyer's financing can fall apart at the last minute, and then you start over with the next person. Sound familiar?

Once in a while you may notice the word "financing" on a contract from us or from another "we buy land" company. Don't let it worry you.

Investors sometimes fund purchases with hard money or private money loans instead of drawing from a bank account.

Those get approved in a day or two, and they are built specifically for property that conventional lenders will not touch - odd parcels, damaged ground, land with title complications.

For you, nothing changes. Same closing timeline, same certainty, same two-week window we normally work in. We still cover all closing costs, and there are no commissions coming out of your proceeds.

Send us your parcel information and we will put a number in front of you.

Our offer will be fair, and we are happy to show you exactly how we got to it.

The math starts with what your lot is worth as is, then accounts for what the parcel needs - clearing, grading, drainage work, survey, whatever applies - plus the taxes and carrying costs we take on and a reasonable profit for us.

Nobody should accept a cash offer without looking at it closely. Ask us for the numbers and the local comps behind them, and we will hand them over.

Most of the time you will have our cash offer within 24 hours of us walking your land in person.

Some parcels take a little longer to price. Title questions, an old lien nobody cleared, subsidence or wetland issues that affect what can be done with the ground - situations like these may need an extra day or two while we work out the strongest number we can put in front of you.

So figure 24 to 72 hours after the viewing as the normal window. From there, closing usually happens in under a month.

And sometimes we hand you a number right there on the property, while we are still standing on it.

Selling to a cash buyer company is the fastest and easiest route, and the reason is simple: we are the buyer. There is nobody to find, nobody to wait on, no marketing period.

Compare that to the open market. Homes in Lackawanna County sit for a median of roughly 34 days before going under contract, according to the Lackawanna County market data, and that figure covers houses - land almost always moves slower than a move-in ready home.

Add the weeks between contract and closing while a buyer's mortgage gets underwritten, and you are looking at months.

Any of that can collapse. An appraisal comes in low, a lender decides raw acreage is too risky, and you are back at the beginning.

Selling land for cash removes those failure points. A company that buys land for cash makes an offer, signs, and closes. No commissions taken off the top, no closing costs on your side, no inspections or appraisals to schedule.

So how to sell land quickly comes down to one decision: skip the middleman entirely. Land cash buyers like us typically close in about two weeks.

Selling land fast starts with a five-minute form. Sell your land fast in Scranton to cash buyers who already have the money ready - tell us about your parcel and we will get you a number.

Selling land to us costs you nothing. Not a dollar.

Compare that with a conventional sale. Agent commissions usually run 5% to 6% of the price, and once transfer taxes, title work, notary and settlement fees get added on, sellers in Pennsylvania commonly give up somewhere around 8% to 10% of what the land sells for.

Scranton takes a bigger bite than most of the country. Pennsylvania realty transfer tax is imposed at 1% of the value of the real estate transferred, collected by the county Recorder of Deeds, and local rates get stacked on top of that.

The city's own realty transfer tax sits far above the 1% local rate charged across much of the state, so a Scranton parcel can carry several times the transfer tax of one a few miles out in the townships.

The default in a standard Pennsylvania agreement of sale has buyer and seller splitting that transfer tax, which means part of it lands on you.

We don't work that way. No commissions, no fees of any kind, and we pay the closing costs ourselves. Nothing spent on clearing brush, hauling debris, surveys, or advertising.

What you see in our offer is what you keep. Ready to find out what that number is?

Our offer comes with zero obligation. You look at the number, and if it doesn't work for you, you say no and that's the end of it.

No pressure calls, no haggling, no fine print holding you to anything. Asking costs you nothing but a few minutes.

So why not find out what your land is worth to us?

Selling land online comes down to three paths, and they are not equally painless.

First, going for sale by owner. You post your parcel on FSBO sites and land marketplaces, write the description, take the photos, mark the boundaries so buyers know what they are looking at.

Some sites are free, plenty are not, and the ones with real traffic usually charge. Then the work starts: fielding calls from tire-kickers, arranging the survey, chasing your own title company, and handling the paperwork yourself.

Closing costs stay on your shoulders. Buyers who need a mortgage may still walk when their lender balks at raw ground.

Second, iBuyers. That instant number on your screen is preliminary, generated by an algorithm before anyone has seen your property.

After an inspection the real offer arrives, and it tends to come in lower than what you were shown. They also charge service fees, much like an agent's commission, and you cover the closing costs.

Third, us. If you want to sell your land fast, we view the parcel, give you a number, and that number is what you get at closing.

Nothing shaved off later. No fees, no commissions, and we pay your closing costs, so the sale costs you nothing.

Fill out our form and see what we would pay.

You can sell your land yourself in one of two ways, and how much hassle you sign up for depends on which you pick.

The first is finding a buyer among the general public. Here is how to sell a piece of land by owner: you price the parcel, mark the boundaries, gather the deed and survey, take photos, write the ad, and put it in front of people.

Then come the phone calls - most from people who will never buy.

You schedule walk-throughs, negotiate on your own, draw up a purchase agreement, order title work, handle disclosures, and coordinate settlement.

Months can pass. If your buyer needs a mortgage, one skeptical lender can end the deal and send you back to the beginning. And the closing costs are yours.

The second is going straight to a professional cash land buyer. We purchase land with problems attached, we do not answer to traditional lenders, and there is no marketing at all.

No commissions, no fees, no closing costs on you. That is why this is the best way to sell vacant land by owner.

Selling without a real estate agent to us takes four steps. You request our cash offer.

We come out and look at your land. You review the number at your own pace. Accept it, and we close - usually inside two weeks.

Looking for land buyers usually means picking one of three routes.

The first is hiring an agent. They market the parcel and bring you traffic, but the service has a price: you pay a commission for your agent, and customarily for the buyer's agent as well. It also takes time.

Land moves slower than houses, and houses in the Scranton area already sit for weeks.

The second is doing it yourself. Roadside signs on the parcel, ads in the local classifieds, flyers at the Lackawanna County ag events and the farm supply spots out toward Waverly, word of mouth through neighboring property owners, notices at township meetings where developers actually show up, posts in Scranton area community groups. Free or cheap, but slow.

Here is the catch with both. Most land purchasers who come knocking will have a broker representing them, and that broker expects to be paid out of your proceeds.

Going solo tends to drag on even longer than working with a realtor, since you are the whole marketing department.

The third is collecting offers from companies that buy land for cash. No advertising, no signs, no months of waiting on someone who qualifies for financing, no commissions carved out of your check.
