Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Land in Indiana

“Below are answers to the questions Indiana landowners ask most when they’re thinking about selling vacant or inherited land.”

  • We work with Indiana landowners who want a simple way to sell:

    • Vacant lots and infill lots

    • Rural acreage and recreational land

    • Inherited parcels and estate properties

    • Land with back taxes or title questions

    If you’re unsure whether your property is a fit, you can still reach out—if we’re not the best option, we’ll tell you honestly.

  • We focus on land throughout the state of Indiana, including both urban infill lots and rural acreage.
    If your property is in Indiana, we’re interested in reviewing it and letting you know what’s possible.

  • No. You can sell your land without a realtor when you work directly with a land buyer like Legacy Real Estate Property Group.

    That means

    • A more direct, streamlined process

    You’re always free to talk with a real estate professional or attorney if you’d like independent advice.

  • We look at several factors specific to Indiana land:

    • Recent comparable land sales in your area

    • Size, shape, and topography of your parcel

    • Road access, utilities, and zoning

    • Floodplain or environmental considerations

    • Market demand in your county or neighborhood

    We aim to make a fair, realistic offer that works for both you and us, and we explain our reasoning in plain language.

  • When you sell directly to an investor, you’re trading some potential retail price for speed, certainty, and simplicity.

    You:

    • Skip listing and realtor commissions

    • Avoid holding costs while your land sits on the market

    • Save time and effort dealing with multiple potential buyers

    We do our best to give you a strong, fair offer based on current land values and the condition of your property.

  • Typically:

    • No commissions

    • No hidden service fees

    • We often cover standard closing costs charged by the title company

    Any exceptions or special situations are explained up front before you sign anything, so there are no surprises

  • Our process is designed to be simple and transparent:

    1. Tell us about your land
      Share the location, size, and basic details through our short form or a quick phone call.

    2. We research your property
      We review county records, zoning, access, utilities, and recent land sales in your area.

    3. We make a clear, written offer
      You receive a no-obligation cash offer or a range, along with an explanation of how we arrived at the number.

    4. You decide what’s best
      If you accept, we move forward with the title company and set an estimated closing date that fits your timeline.

    5. Close and get paid
      You sign the closing documents (often remotely) and receive your proceeds from the title company.

  • Closing time can vary by property and title work, but many land deals close in 30–45 days, and some may be faster or slower.
    We work with reputable Indiana title companies to move the process along and keep you updated at each step.

  • Usually just a few basics:

    • Property location (county, parcel number, or address if available)

    • Your contact information

    • Any known details: access, utilities, HOA, or special features

  • Possibly. We regularly look at:

    • Wooded or recreational tracts

    • Land near rivers or creeks

    • Parcels that may not be “perfect builder lots”

    Every property is unique. Even if your land is not ideal for a builder, it might still fit another buyer or conservation-minded use. We’ll review it honestly and let you know what’s realistic.

  • Yes, we often work with inherited land and estate situations.

    We can:

    • Coordinate with the title company to understand probate needs

    • Help you determine what documents are required

    • Work with multiple heirs or decision-makers

    While we can’t give legal advice, we can often connect you with the right professionals to help you move forward.

  • Many Indiana landowners contact us specifically because of back taxes or other problems. In some cases, we can structure the purchase so that:

    • Back taxes are paid at closing

    • Certain liens are resolved through the title company

    Not every issue can be fixed, but we’ll review your situation and tell you what’s possible in clear terms.

  • Your protection is important. That’s why we:

    • Use reputable, licensed title companies in Indiana

    • Put all agreements in writing

    • Make sure you understand the terms before signing

    • Encourage you to ask questions and get advice if you want it

    At closing, you are paid by the title company, not by a handshake or cash in an envelope.

  • No. Your land evaluation and offer are completely no-obligation.

    You are free to:

    • Decline the offer

    • Take time to think and compare options

    • Use the information to decide on other paths (listing with an agent, holding, etc.)

    Our goal is to help you understand your options, not to pressure you.

  • Yes. Many Indiana parcels are owned by people who live in other states.

    With modern title companies and remote closings, you can often:

    • Sign documents electronically or by mail

    • Never travel back to Indiana

    • Receive your proceeds by wire or check

    We’ll work with the title company to make the process as convenient as possible.
