Michigan
Vacant land is the hardest kind of property to sell conventionally
People arrive here wanting to sell unwanted land, sell inherited land, or just find out how much their land is worth. Any of those is a fine reason to call.
There is no mortgage market for raw land the way there is for houses. Banks are cautious, the retail buyer pool is thin, and most agents are set up to sell homes. Meanwhile the tax bill arrives every year whether or not anybody is using the property. That combination is why so much Michigan land sits for a year or more — and why a straightforward cash sale is often worth more to an owner than a higher number that never actually closes.
We are a direct buyer, not an agency. We buy vacant, inherited, tax-burdened and out-of-state-owned land throughout Michigan — from small residential lots to tracts of several hundred acres.

How selling works
Three steps, no obligation at any point.
Tell us about the parcel
Address or parcel number, roughly how many acres, and anything you already know — road access, whether it perc’d, back taxes, heirs. Two minutes on the phone or a short form.
We research it at our cost
We research Michigan parcels ourselves, at our cost. We pull recent sales of comparable acreage, check zoning, flood mapping and access, and confirm who is actually on the deed. You pay nothing and you are not committed to anything.
You get a written cash offer
A clear, no-obligation number in writing within 24 hours, with the terms spelled out. If it works, we open title and cover the closing costs. We can close in as little as 14 to 30 days once title work is back.
Selling to us vs. listing it
Both are legitimate options. Listing can bring a higher gross price if you have time, the tract is easy to finance, and you can carry the taxes while it sits. Here is the honest comparison.
| Selling to Dreamify | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Who you are dealing with | A direct cash buyer — we are the ones purchasing | An agent marketing it to someone else |
| Commission | None | Typically 6–10% on land |
| Closing costs | We cover them | Usually split or seller-paid |
| Repairs, survey, clean-up | Not your problem | Often requested by retail buyers |
| Financing risk | None — cash | Land loans fall through often |
| Timeline | As little as 14 to 30 days once title work is back | Land can sit on the market for months |

We buy with our own money — here is what we have closed
We are a principal buyer using our own capital, not a lead broker. A sample of tracts we have bought and closed:
| Tract | Where we closed it |
|---|---|
| 32.3 acres | Perquimans County, North Carolina |
| 72 acres | Pike County, Mississippi |
| 10.7 acres | Morgan County, Georgia |
| 6.24 acres | Jasper County, Georgia |
| 8.5 acres | Pike County, Mississippi |
| 5.05 acres | Dawson County, Georgia |
A sample of tracts we have bought and closed ourselves. We are a principal buyer, not a broker — every one of these was purchased with our own funds through a licensed closing agent.

Michigan land selling questions
Which parts of Michigan do you buy in?
Statewide. We have local pages for 75 Michigan counties and we buy in the rest of them too, from small residential lots to tracts of several hundred acres. If your county is not listed, call us anyway — the page simply may not be built yet.
What does it cost me to get an offer?
Nothing. We research the parcel at our own cost — comparable sales, legal access, zoning, flood mapping — and give you a number in writing. No fee, no obligation.
Who pays the tax on the deed?
Michigan charges two transfer taxes on the deed — the state tax at $3.75 per $500 of value (MCL 207.525) and a county tax at 55 cents per $500 in every county under two million people (MCL 207.504) — and the statute puts the liability on the seller, the grantor (MCL 207.523(2)). The stamps have to be bought in the county where the land sits before the Register of Deeds will record the deed. We build all of that into our numbers so the figure we quote you is the figure you work from.
Can you buy land that is stuck in an estate?
Usually yes. Heir property, unprobated estates and multiple owners are routine for us. What it takes depends on how the estate was handled — sometimes an affidavit, sometimes probate, sometimes signatures from every heir. We will tell you plainly what your situation requires before you spend money on it.
Do I need a survey or a perc test first?
No. Do not spend money on either before talking to us. If a survey or soil evaluation turns out to be necessary for the deal, that is something we handle as the buyer.
When do Michigan property taxes go delinquent?
Michigan bills property tax twice — a summer levy from July 1 and a winter levy from December 1 — and anything unpaid is returned to the county treasurer as delinquent on March 1 (MCL 211.44a, 211.78a). On March 1 of the second year of delinquency the parcel is forfeited to the county treasurer, who adds a $175 fee (MCL 211.78g), and taxes still unpaid on March 31 of the third year are foreclosed by judgment and all redemption rights expire (MCL 211.78k). Michigan is unusually fast and unusually final — there is no post-sale redemption once that March 31 passes, so on land nobody lives on this clock is the real risk.
Do you buy raw or unwanted land, not just nice lots?
That is most of what we buy. Raw, wooded, overgrown, no utilities, no driveway, never surveyed, inherited from someone who never visited it — none of that is a problem. You do not need to clear it, mow it or clean it up before we look.
I want to sell my land fast. How fast is realistic?
A written offer inside 24 hours, then closing in as little as 14 to 30 days once the title work comes back. Clean single-owner parcels are the quick ones. If your land is tied up in an estate with several heirs, expect longer — that is the paperwork, not us dragging.
Is there a cash buyer for land near me in Michigan County?
Yes. We buy across Michigan and the counties around it, and because everything can be handled remotely it does not matter whether you live down the road from the parcel or three states away.
