Why Selling Land Directly to Land Ally Makes Sense

As the new year kicks off, land ownership continues to be a pressing topic among property owners and potential buyers. With a growing number of Americans inheriting rural properties or parcels they never intended to keep, the question becomes: what is the smartest way to sell inherited or unused land?

The Rise of Inherited Land Ownership

According to the Federal Reserve, over the next two decades, roughly $84 trillion in wealth will transfer from baby boomers to younger generations—much of it in the form of real estate, including undeveloped land. While this presents opportunities, it also poses challenges. Inherited land often comes with unclear boundaries, unpaid taxes, or outdated titles, making the selling process more complex than it appears.

Why Direct Land Sales Are Gaining Popularity

In response to these challenges, many landowners are bypassing traditional real estate agents and turning to direct buyers like Land Ally. Here are the key reasons why:

1. Speed and Convenience

Traditional land sales can take months, even years, to finalize. In contrast, Land Ally can make an offer within days and close the transaction in as little as 2-3 weeks. This speed is especially valuable for inherited landowners who are already juggling estate-related stress.

Example: After inheriting a 20-acre parcel in Alabama, Jessica M. struggled with overgrown brush, distant ownership, and no local contacts. A realtor quoted a 6–12 month timeline. Instead, she sold directly to Land Ally and closed in 18 days.

2. No Middlemen or Commissions

When selling with an agent, landowners typically pay 6–10% in commissions and fees. On a $50,000 sale, that’s $3,000–5,000 lost. Land Ally eliminates these costs.

What You Keep: With no realtor commissions, you keep 100% of the offer price—making the process more financially transparent and predictable.

3. Less Paperwork, Fewer Headaches

Inherited land sales often involve probate documentation, affidavits of heirship, or quiet title actions. Land Ally helps navigate these legal complexities in-house or connects sellers with trusted probate professionals.

5. Stress-Free Selling for Heirs and Absentee Owners

Absentee landowners and heirs often live far from the property they need to sell. We’ve streamlined a process where everything—from offer to closing—can be done remotely, with no need to visit the land in person.

Real Story: After inheriting land in Texas, Daniel W. was stationed overseas. He worked with Land Ally via email and signed everything electronically. His property was sold before he returned home.
