Selling Family Property: What You Need to Know About Direct Sales

Selling family property, especially inherited land, can be an emotional and overwhelming task. Many landowners feel unsure where to start, which options are best, and how to navigate the process efficiently.

Fortunately, there's a solution that makes selling family property simpler: direct sales to a land buying company like Land Ally.

Here’s what you need to know.

Direct Land Sale vs. Real Estate Agent: The Smart Choice

Traditionally, people think of hiring a real estate agent to handle property sales. However, this approach isn’t always necessary—especially when it comes to selling land.

Here’s why direct sales are often better:

• No agent commissions (saving 5–6% of sale price)
  
  

• Faster closing timelines
  
  

• Simplified transactions with fewer moving parts
  
  

Real estate agents often focus on residential homes and may lack experience with vacant or rural land. By contrast, Land Ally specializes in land purchases, offering expertise and efficiency.

Case in Point: Avoiding Agent Hassles

James R. from Georgia inherited 8 acres of family land but faced a slow market with agents uninterested in rural plots. Land Ally offered a direct cash purchase, closing the sale in less than three weeks, saving James time and thousands in potential agent fees.

Understanding Your Selling Options

When selling family property, you generally have three options:

1. List on the open market
   
   

   • Can take months or years
     
     

   • Requires marketing and negotiations
     
     

   • Involves commissions and closing costs
     
     

2. Sell at auction
   
   

   • Unpredictable outcomes
     
     

   • Risk of undervaluing property
     
     

   • High-pressure environment
     
     

3. Sell directly to a land buying company
   
   

   • Quick and predictable
     
     

   • Transparent offers
     
     

   • No fees or commissions
     
     

For many landowners, especially those looking for simplicity and speed, direct sales provide the most practical solution.
