When you need to sell land in Maine, you have three main options. Each has different timelines, costs, and levels of complexity to consider.
Traditional Realtor (6+ months)
Maine realtors typically charge 5.29% average commission for land sales, plus marketing costs that can reach $3,000-5,000. However, most agents focus on residential properties and may lack specialized knowledge of Maine's Tree Growth Tax Law, shoreland zoning regulations, and disclosure requirements. The process often takes 6 months or longer due to limited buyer interest and financing complications common with vacant land.
For Sale By Owner - FSBO (3-12 months)
Selling land by owner in Maine saves commission fees but requires handling complex paperwork, including deed transfers, title searches, understanding Maine land market dynamics, and compliance with Maine's property disclosure laws. You'll also need to market the property yourself and navigate potential complications with land classifications, tax programs, and environmental regulations.
Cash Land Buyers (3-4 weeks) ✓ FASTEST
Maine cash land buyers like Prime Land Buyers purchase directly with no commissions, no fees, and no financing delays. We handle all paperwork, closing costs, and understand Maine's specific land regulations including Tree Growth Tax implications and shoreland zoning requirements. Most transactions close within 3-4 weeks.

Here are the most common questions we receive from Maine landowners looking to sell their property.
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 2-4 weeks. We handle all Maine-specific paperwork including RETTD forms and coordinate with your county Registry of Deeds to ensure a smooth transaction.
Cash buyers are the fastest option, typically closing in 2-4 weeks. Traditional realtor sales in Maine's land market average 6-12 months, especially for rural properties, while FSBO sales can take even longer due to Maine's seasonal buying patterns and complex land regulations.
Yes, we regularly purchase Maine properties with delinquent taxes, liens, or other issues. We can coordinate with the municipality to resolve tax problems at closing through the title company, so you don't have to pay them upfront. This is often the fastest way to resolve tax lien situations before they progress to foreclosure.
With cash buyers, expect 2-4 weeks from offer acceptance to closing. Traditional sales through realtors typically take 6-12 months in Maine's land market, with seasonal variations affecting rural properties. FSBO sales face additional challenges due to Maine's complex transfer requirements and disclosure laws.
You'll need the property deed, recent tax statements, and a completed Maine Real Estate Transfer Tax Declaration (RETTD). If your land is enrolled in Tree Growth Tax program, we'll also need that documentation. We can help you obtain missing documents through our network of Maine title companies and county Registry offices.
No, you can sell directly to cash buyers without a realtor. This saves you Maine's average 5.29% commission fee and eliminates the lengthy marketing process. We handle all the same services a realtor would, including RETTD preparation, title work, and coordinating with Maine's county registries.
When you sell to us, there are zero costs or fees. We cover all closing costs, title work, transfer tax, and RETTD filing fees. Traditional sales cost 5-6% in realtor commissions plus marketing expenses, carrying costs, and the 2.5% real estate withholding requirement for some sellers.
We purchase all types of Maine land: timber properties (including Tree Growth enrolled land), recreational camps, waterfront lots, agricultural fields, inherited property, and land with back taxes or access issues. From small lots to large forest tracts across all 16 counties.
Yes, when done properly through escrow. We use licensed Maine title companies and follow all state transfer procedures. The deed and funds are held by a neutral third party until all conditions are met, protecting both buyer and seller throughout the transaction.
Absolutely. We frequently help families sell inherited Maine property, including land that's been in families for generations. We can work with executors and handle complex situations involving multiple heirs, ensuring all probate and transfer requirements are properly completed.
We can still purchase your property. Our title company will identify all liens during the title search, and we'll coordinate payoffs at closing. This includes tax liens, contractor liens, or other judgments against the property, providing you a clean transfer and resolving these issues.
We analyze recent comparable sales in your area, consider factors like road access, utilities, topography, and zoning restrictions. For timber properties, we evaluate forest resources and Tree Growth Tax implications. Our local Maine market knowledge ensures fair, competitive cash offers based on current market conditions.
