When you need to sell land in California, you have three main options. Each has different timelines, costs, and levels of complexity.
Traditional Realtor (6+ months)
California realtors typically charge 5.18% commission for land sales, plus marketing costs that can reach $5,000-10,000. However, most agents focus on residential properties and may lack specialized knowledge of California's complex land regulations, CEQA requirements, and Williamson Act restrictions. The process often takes 6+ months due to limited land buyer networks and environmental compliance issues.
For Sale By Owner - FSBO (6+ months)
Selling land by owner in California saves commission fees but requires navigating the state's extensive disclosure requirements, including Natural Hazard Disclosure Statements, environmental assessments, and potential toxic mold disclosures. You'll also need to handle title searches, deed transfers, and comply with California's strict real estate advertising regulations while marketing the property yourself.
Cash Land Buyers (3-4 weeks) ✓ FASTEST
California cash land buyers like Prime Land Buyers purchase directly with no commissions, no fees, and no financing delays. We handle all California-specific paperwork, including environmental compliance, disclosure requirements, and closing costs. We understand CEQA regulations, fire zone restrictions, and water rights issues that can complicate traditional sales.

• Survey or legal property description with parcel number

We handle all the complex disclosure requirements and transfer tax calculations. This service is included at no cost to you.
Here are the most common questions we receive from California landowners looking to sell their property quickly and hassle-free.
The fastest way is to contact direct cash buyers like Prime Land Buyers. Simply submit your property details online, receive a cash offer within 24-48 hours, and close in 3-4 weeks. We handle all California-specific paperwork including PCOR forms, Natural Hazard Disclosures, and transfer tax calculations, making the process simple and stress-free.
Cash buyers are the fastest option, typically closing in 3-4 weeks. Traditional realtor sales in California average 9+ months for vacant land, while FSBO sales can take 6-18 months. Cash sales eliminate financing delays, lengthy environmental assessments, and complex disclosure requirements that slow traditional sales.
Yes, we regularly purchase California properties with delinquent property taxes, liens, or other issues. We can coordinate with county tax collectors to resolve back tax issues at closing using proceeds from the sale, so you don't have to pay them upfront. This is often the fastest way to resolve California tax problems and avoid additional penalties.
With cash buyers, expect 3-4 weeks from offer acceptance to closing. Traditional sales through realtors typically take 9+ months in California's complex land market due to environmental reviews, disclosure requirements, and limited land buyer networks. FSBO sales take even longer due to California's strict regulatory compliance requirements.
You'll need the property deed, recent tax statements, Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR), and Natural Hazard Disclosure forms. We can help you obtain missing documents through our network of California title companies and county offices. Don't worry if you don't have everything - we'll guide you through California's complex requirements.
No, you can sell directly to cash buyers without a realtor. This saves you the 5.18% average commission fee and speeds up the process significantly. We handle all the same services a realtor would, including California compliance paperwork, environmental disclosures, title work, and closing coordination.
When you sell to us, there are zero costs or fees. We cover all closing costs, title work, transfer taxes, and California-specific compliance fees. Traditional sales cost 5.18% in realtor commissions plus marketing expenses, carrying costs during the lengthy sales process, and potential environmental assessment fees.
We purchase all types of California land: coastal properties, desert parcels, agricultural land (including Williamson Act properties), timber land, recreational properties, inherited land, and properties with environmental issues or liens. Size doesn't matter - from small residential lots to large ranch properties throughout the state.
Yes, when you work with reputable buyers who use licensed escrow companies. We use neutral third-party escrow services and licensed California title companies for all transactions. This ensures your funds are secure and all legal requirements are properly handled according to California real estate law.
Absolutely. We regularly help families sell inherited California properties, including those with multiple heirs or complex probate situations. We can work with your probate attorney to ensure proper legal transfer and handle any title issues that commonly arise with inherited properties.
We can still purchase your property. We work with California title companies to identify all liens and judgments, then coordinate payoffs at closing using sale proceeds. This includes tax liens, mechanic's liens, HOA assessments, and court judgments - we handle the resolution process for you.
We analyze recent comparable sales, county assessor data, zoning information, development potential, and California-specific factors like environmental restrictions, fire zone classifications, and coastal commission regulations. Our evaluation considers both current market conditions and any unique California regulatory challenges that affect land values.
