Friendly Acres Land identifies potential parcels for purchase through public records—this means your name and property details are publicly available at the county level, prompting an invitation to discuss selling.

Friendly Acres Land is a registered, family-operated company specializing in straightforward, ethical land purchases. We are a Wyoming-based LLC and are willing to provide formation/operating documents as well as customer references upon request.

We look for properties that fit our portfolio, which includes parcels suitable for recreation, development, or investment. Typically, we seek land that’s underused or held by absentee owners and offer cash for those interested in a fast, hassle-free sale. Our goal is long-term growth though we do sell parcels that don’t fit our long-term needs.

Responsible land buying companies like Friendly Acres pay with verifiable funds and use legal contracts. When evaluating land buyers, some red flags to watch out for include:

• Pressure to sign immediately

• Vague or evasive answers about terms

• Refusal to provide references or reviews

• Unwillingness to go on a phone or video call or provide authentication documents

Be very wary of very long closing periods (90 or more days). Oftentimes, the “buyers” of these properties are what’s known in our industry as “wholesalers.” Wholesalers do not have their own capital but rather get properties under contract and then line up another capital provider to close the deal. The problem is if they can’t find someone, the deal falls apart.

Friendly Acres, on the other hand, is a direct buyer. We use our own balance sheet and make our own decisions on whether to move forward with a deal or not.

We use recent local sales, market trends, and land condition evaluation to make offers. Our offers also account for the ease and cost of not using a real estate agent. In many cases, we use paralegals to draft closing documents (instead of title companies) which further brings down costs and is reflected in our offer.

Occasionally, we get the pricing of our offers wrong (significantly). Mistakes happen in life and we are human. We never are trying to offend anyone and are apologetic if/when that happens.

The simple answer is no. Our offers include all standard closing costs, paid by us, so sellers receive the agreed amount with no deductions except for taxes or existing liens.

Typically, we conduct due diligence through local professionals, satellite mapping, and public records. For higher-value parcels, an in-person inspection may occur, and we encourage sellers to visit and review with us if concerned about representation.

• Review the offer and schedule a call with our team.

• If you accept, we’ll prepare the Deed and any related affidavits or documents.

• Closing can occur in one of two ways: 1) through a local, insured title/escrow company (in which we split the closing costs) or 2) through licensed paralegals who handle paperwork creation and recording

• Funds are wired directly or sent via certified check upon county assessor approving chain of title

There is no obligation. Ignore the letter, or contact us to have your name removed from future mailings—your privacy and choice are respected.

When buying land, the typical closing time is 10-30 days, though that timeframe can extend if there is complexities such as multiple parcels being acquired, the need for more expensive due diligence (e.g. a soil test), or there are multiple signatories or a trust involved.
