Why Do I Keep Getting Offers to Buy My Land?
If letters, texts or calls keep arriving asking whether you will sell your land, you are not alone. Land ownership records are public, and many investors, developers and land companies reach out to owners directly. Some offers are serious, some are low first bids, and a few are scams. Here is why the offers come, the warning signs to watch for, and how to check any buyer, including us.

Owners getting unsolicited offers for their land
Where buyers get your name
Deeds, tax bills and parcel maps are public records kept by your county, and most counties put them online. Anyone can look up who owns a parcel, its size and the mailing address on the tax bill. Data companies gather those records and sell lists, for example owners of vacant land, owners who live out of state, or owners who have held land for many years, and buyers send letters or texts to those lists.
That is why offers often arrive after a change in your record: an inheritance, a tax bill that went unpaid, a new zoning plan nearby, or a road or utility project. It does not mean anyone has been on your land or knows something you do not, though it is a good reason to find out what your land is worth.
Why the offers vary so much
Different buyers want different things. A developer or solar company may want a specific location. A neighbor may want more room. Land investors buy at a discount so they can resell, and some send identical low offers to thousands of owners to see who responds. A low number in a letter is often a first bid, not a careful valuation.
Before you answer any of them, get a sense of value from recent sold prices nearby; our guide on how much your land is worth shows how. Then you can tell a fair offer from a fishing letter.
Red flags that point to a scam
Walk away if a buyer asks you to pay anything up front, such as an appraisal, listing or “processing” fee, to receive your money. Be wary of pressure to sign today, refusal to name the company or give a real phone number, a contract with blanks or terms that let the buyer delay for months with no deposit, or anyone asking you to sign over the deed before you are paid.
Wiring instructions that change by email are a classic fraud; always confirm by calling the title company at a number you looked up yourself. There is also a scam aimed at vacant land owners who are not involved at all: criminals pretend to be the owner and try to sell the land behind their back. Many counties offer free alerts when a document is recorded in your name, and a title company or attorney can help if you see something you did not sign.
How to check out any land buyer
Look the company up: a working website, a physical mailing address, reviews from real sellers and a history of closed purchases. Ask who will handle the closing; a legitimate buyer closes through an independent title company or real-estate attorney, who checks title and holds the money, and you are paid at closing, not before. Ask for the offer and contract in writing and read them, or have an attorney read them, before you sign.
A real buyer will not mind these questions. If an offer does not hold up to them, you can simply ignore it, or ask the sender to stop contacting you.
If the offer came from us
We are Dreamify Properties, a land buyer that purchases with our own capital. You can read our verified Google reviews, see land we have bought, and call us at the number on this page before you share anything. Our purchases close through an independent title company or closing attorney, and you never pay us anything.
If you would like a real number, we research your parcel and send a written cash offer within 24 hours. There is no commission, we pay the closing costs, and we can close in as little as 14 to 30 days. If the answer is no, that is fine, and if you would like us to stop contacting you, just tell us.
How we buy land
Real buyer
We buy with our own capital.
Independent closing
Title company or attorney holds the funds.
Nothing up front
You never pay us a fee.
Written offer
A clear number within 24 hours.
No commission
We pay closing costs.
No pressure
Say no, or ask us to stop calling.
Getting a real offer, 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 |

What sellers say
Every quote below is a real, verified Google review of Dreamify Properties — 4.9 stars across 14 reviews.
“I had a great experience working with John and Dreamify on the marketing and sale of land in Georgia. John was reasonable, fair, and thorough throughout the transaction, and was very pleasant to work with.”
“Dreamify made a fair offer on our property in Alabama… Over the past couple years I’ve had a hundred texts and phone calls from land companies wanting to buy — from low-balling to wanting to put you under contract for 6 months and walk away on the last day. Dreamify followed through on every part of the deal.”
Questions we get asked
Why do I get so many letters to buy my land?
Land ownership records are public, and buyers mail or text lists of owners pulled from county records.
Are offers to buy land legitimate?
Many are, though some are low first bids and a few are scams. Check the buyer before you sign.
What are signs of a land buying scam?
Up-front fees, pressure to sign, no real company or phone number, or a request for the deed before payment.
How do I stop offers to buy my land?
Ask each sender to remove you. Public records stay public, so some mail will continue.
How fast can you close?
We give a written offer within 24 hours and can close in as little as 14 to 30 days. If your timeline is longer, we close on the date that suits you.
What does it cost me to sell to you?
Nothing. No commission, no closing costs, no document fees. We buy with our own capital and pay the closing costs ourselves.
