Selling Land on Facebook Marketplace
Facebook Marketplace is free, local and full of buyers, so posting a lot or a few acres there seems like an easy way to sell. Some owners do find a buyer that way. Many more find a flood of messages, people who vanish, and a few who are trying to scam them. Here is how to post land on Marketplace safely, what to watch for, and when a direct sale makes more sense.

Owners thinking about Facebook Marketplace
How to post land on Marketplace
Marketplace has a category for property for sale, and many owners list lots and acreage there or in local land and hunting groups. What Facebook allows can vary by location and changes from time to time, so follow the current listing prompts. Use a clear title with acreage and county, a fair asking price, and a description that covers road access, utilities nearby, zoning, any restrictions and the parcel number.
Add honest photos and a map. Posting the parcel number lets serious buyers look it up in the county GIS and saves you dozens of repeat questions. Say plainly how you want to sell, for example cash or financed at closing through a title company, so the right people respond.
Scams and tire-kickers to watch for
Real-estate posts attract fraud. Watch for buyers who offer full price sight unseen and then send a check for more than the price and ask you to wire back the difference. That overpayment trick is old and still common. Never send money back on a check that has not truly cleared.
Be wary of anyone who asks you to read them a verification code sent to your phone, wants to move the conversation to another app right away, or pushes you to sign a deed before any money is at a title company. Another trick runs the other way: scammers copy real land listings, including yours, and pose as the seller to collect deposits from buyers. If you see a copy of your post, report it.
Then there are the tire-kickers: people asking whether it is still available and never replying, requests for you to finance with nothing down, and lowball offers. Decide your rules in advance.
Closing a Marketplace sale the right way
If you find a real buyer, move the deal off the chat app and onto paper. Sign a written purchase agreement, open escrow with a title company or real-estate attorney, and let them collect the buyer’s funds, check title, prepare the deed and record it. Do not hand over a signed deed in a parking lot, and do not accept a personal check or a payment app for land.
If the buyer wants you to finance, have an attorney draft and record the note and mortgage or deed of trust, and understand what you would need to do if payments stop.
A simpler alternative to Marketplace
We are a land-buying company that pays cash with our own funds. No messages to screen and no fake checks: we send a written offer within 24 hours, and a licensed title company or closing attorney handles the money and the deed. We can close in as little as 14 to 30 days, and we pay the closing costs.
You can post on Marketplace and request our offer at the same time; there is no obligation.

Selling to us, step by step
Three steps, no obligation at any point, and no cost to you at any stage.
One call or one form
Tell us the address or APN and the rough size. You do not need a survey, a plat or the tax bill in front of you — we look all of that up.
We value it properly
We research the parcel ourselves, at our cost, before we quote. We price it off recent sales of similar acreage and adjust for access, soil, flood mapping, timber and shape. No cost to you, no commitment.
Written offer, your decision
You have our number in writing within 24 hours. If you take it, a licensed title company closes it and we cover the standard closing costs — typically 14 to 30 days.
Selling to us vs. listing it
Both are legitimate. 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 |
