How Selling Your Land to Us Works
No mystery here. Four steps, a written offer, and a lawyer-handled closing. Most sellers go from first contact to money in the bank in under a month.

Step 1: Tell Us About Your Land
Fill out the form with the basics: where the property is, roughly how big it is, and anything you know about it. Legal land description helps but isn’t required, a rural address or even “the quarter northeast of Hay Lakes” gives us enough to start. Five minutes, no documents needed up front.
Step 2: We Do the Research
This part costs you nothing and requires nothing from you. We pull the title, check for registrations and encumbrances, and look at:
- Title, who’s on it, and whether there are caveats, liens or utility rights-of-way
- Zoning, what the county, MD or city allows on the parcel
- Access, legal and physical access, road frontage, approaches
- Utilities, power, gas and water at or near the property line
- The local market, what comparable land has actually sold for nearby
If something odd turns up, we don’t walk away. Odd is normal in land.
Step 3: You Get a Written Cash Offer
Within 48 to 72 hours of having what we need, you’ll have a firm cash offer in writing. Not a range, not a “let’s talk”, a number. There’s no obligation and no expiry games. Run it past your lawyer or accountant, sleep on it, or tell us no. All fine.
Step 4: Close With an Alberta Real Estate Lawyer
If you accept, the sale closes the proper Alberta way: through a real estate lawyer and the land titles office. The lawyers handle transfer documents, funds and registration. We can close in as little as two to three weeks, or on whatever timeline suits you, after harvest, after probate, after you’ve had a chance to think. Your call.
We cover the standard closing costs, and there’s no commission because there’s no realtor in the middle.
Selling to Us vs. Listing With a Realtor
| Listing with a realtor | Selling to Land Buyers Canada | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | Typically around 5% + GST | None |
| Timeline | Often months on the market, sometimes a year or more for vacant land | Offer in 48-72 hours, close in as little as 2-3 weeks |
| Showings | Yes, signs, calls, strangers on the property | None |
| Closing costs | Usually paid by you | We cover the standard costs |
| Certainty | Offers often conditional on financing; deals can collapse | Firm cash offer, no financing conditions |
| Property prep | Clean-up, surveys, sometimes a real property report | We buy as-is |
| Best for | Prime parcels where you can afford to wait for top dollar | Speed, certainty, and problem or hard-to-list land |
We’ll say it plainly: a patient seller with a desirable parcel may net more by listing. Our offer buys speed and certainty. Plenty of sellers do that math and decide a sure thing in three weeks beats a maybe in fourteen months, minus commission.
Common Questions About the Process
Do I need to visit the property? No. Everything can be handled remotely, including the closing, useful if you’ve inherited land or moved out of province.
What if there are back taxes on the land? Usually fine. Tax arrears get paid out of the sale proceeds at closing. More on that in the FAQ.
What does it cost me to get an offer? Nothing. No fees to request one, none to decline it.
