About us

Land Finder was founded by experienced land investors and small farm owners who know there are more effective and efficient ways to buy land than the traditional path. Through our own journey, we discovered alternative ways to purchase land— approaches that simplify the process and bring land ownership within reach.

Our mission is to share this knowledge, helping families find land for their homesteading dreams or investment goals. Whether you’re seeking a rural retreat, a place to grow, or a valuable asset, we’re here to help.

Let’s find the land that’s right for you! 

There are some big reasons why you should consider buying land directly from owners

  • Unlike improved real estate (homes, apartments, condos, etc), there are a lot fewer things to worry about with buying vacant land. There are still important things to verify during due diligence, but as compared to a home, they are easier and simpler. Our Land Buying Guide highlights these areas and advises you how to verify the information you need before purchasing

  • Off-market land deals generally sell for 10 - 30% less than land listed on the MLS. Land investors and flippers have been using this same direct-to-seller cold call approach to find amazing deals. Why shouldn’t you, the end-buyer, not use the same method to cash-in on big savings? Aside from that, the average listing commission that real estate brokers charge land owners is 8-12%. Additionally, most realtors want owners to spend thousands of dollars cleaning up properties to make them marketable (clearing brush, grading driveways, etc..). Why does this matter to you, the buyer? Because if you buy directly from an owner you are potentially saving them tens of thousands of dollars…savings that can at least partially get passed along to YOU. So whether you’re paying market price for the land or not, you will feel the savings buying directly from the seller. 

  • Finding a bank that will finance the purchase of vacant land can be very difficult, most banks will only finance land with a construction loan, which means you have to be ready to build. Those few banks that do loan on vacant land charge extremely high interest rates. But what if you’ve found your dream land but you won’t be able to build for a few years? Here’s where Seller Financing becomes a great option. Essentially the owner becomes the bank. You negotiate a down payment and a payment plan to purchase the land. Although all owners won’t be open to this, many are and it can be a great way to buy your dream piece of land at an affordable price even if you aren’t quite ready to build yet.

  • A closing attorney or title company is always going to be involved in your purchase, so you can be sure that your paperwork is done correctly and you are protected in the transaction. If you so choose, you can also hire a buyer’s agent for a flat-fee to assist you with comping your property or completing the paperwork. Our Land Buying Guide will assist you in how you can use these resources in your transaction
