When you need to sell land in New York, you have three main options. Each has different timelines, costs, and levels of complexity, especially given New York's strict disclosure requirements and regional market variations.
Traditional Realtor (6-12+ months)
New York realtors typically charge 5.36% commission for land sales, plus marketing costs that can reach $3,000. However, most agents focus on residential properties and may lack specialized knowledge of New York's complex zoning laws and Agricultural District regulations. According to recent market data, vacant land in counties like Nassau averages 220 days on market, with Westchester County reaching 240 days.
For Sale By Owner - FSBO (4-12 months)
Selling land by owner in New York saves commission fees but requires navigating the state's mandatory Property Condition Disclosure Statement and compliance with strict disclosure requirements. You'll handle complex paperwork including deed transfers, understand New York's land market values and data, title searches, and any Agricultural District documentation yourself, plus market the property and qualify potential buyers.
Cash Land Buyers (3-4 weeks) ✓ FASTEST
New York 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 disclosure requirements. Most transactions close within 3-4 weeks, regardless of whether your property is in the Adirondacks, Hudson Valley, or Long Island.

Here are the most common questions we receive from New York 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 2-4 weeks. We handle all New York paperwork including the RP-5217 form and TP-584 transfer tax filings, making the process simple and stress-free.
Cash buyers are the fastest option, typically closing in 2-4 weeks. Traditional realtor sales in New York average 8-12 months, with some upstate properties taking over a year to sell. Cash sales eliminate financing delays, lengthy marketing periods, and the complex disclosure requirements that slow traditional sales.
Yes, we regularly purchase New York properties with back taxes, liens, or other issues. We can coordinate with county tax offices to resolve outstanding taxes at closing, so you don't have to pay them upfront. This is often the fastest way to resolve tax problems and avoid potential tax sale proceedings.
With cash buyers, expect 2-4 weeks from offer acceptance to closing. Traditional sales through realtors typically take 8-12 months in New York's land market, with upstate rural properties often taking longer. FSBO sales can take even more time due to New York's complex disclosure requirements and buyer qualification challenges.
You'll need the property deed, recent tax statements, and any survey information. New York requires specific forms including the RP-5217 Real Property Transfer Report and TP-584 tax return. We can help you obtain missing documents and handle all required state filings through our network of New York title companies and county offices.
No, you can sell directly to cash buyers without a realtor. This saves you the 5.36% average commission fee and speeds up the process significantly. We handle all the same services a realtor would, including New York's complex paperwork, title work, and closing coordination, but much faster.
When you sell to us, there are zero costs or fees. We cover all closing costs, title work, transfer taxes, and required New York state filings. Traditional sales cost 5.36% in realtor commissions plus marketing expenses and carrying costs during the lengthy sales process that can exceed $10,000 for most properties.
We purchase all types of New York land: vacant lots, agricultural land enrolled in Agricultural Districts, timber properties, Adirondack recreational land, inherited property, and land with back taxes or liens. We buy throughout the state from Long Island to the North Country, regardless of size or condition.
Yes, when working with reputable buyers who use licensed title companies and escrow services. We work exclusively with New York licensed title companies and follow all state regulations for real estate transfers. Our process includes proper escrow protection and full compliance with New York's disclosure and transfer requirements.
Absolutely. We frequently help families sell inherited New York land, handling the complex probate and title issues that can arise. Whether the property is in the Catskills, Hudson Valley, or anywhere in New York, we can guide you through the inheritance documentation requirements and close quickly once title is clear.
We can still purchase your property. We work with title companies to identify all liens and judgments, then coordinate payoffs at closing. This includes tax liens, contractor liens, or judgment liens that may be attached to your New York property, allowing you to sell without resolving these issues upfront.
We analyze recent comparable sales in your county, current market conditions, zoning restrictions, and property characteristics like size, access, and development potential.
