What kinds of land do you buy?
We consider vacant lots, rural acreage, recreational land, inherited parcels, off-grid property, and land with access, title, or tax complications in all 50 states.
Do I need to pay the back taxes before requesting an offer?
Usually not. A title company can often verify an exact payoff and, if everyone agrees, pay eligible liens from closing proceeds. The right approach depends on the state, county, sale status, and available equity.
Are there commissions or listing fees?
No real estate commission is charged on a direct purchase from Smiles for Land. Your written agreement will explain the proposed price and allocation of closing costs.
How quickly can we close?
Clean-title properties may close quickly. Back taxes, probate, multiple owners, missing deeds, or other title issues can require more time.
Am I required to accept the offer?
No. The offer is no-obligation. You can compare it with keeping the land, listing it, or selling another way.
How do I know the transfer is secure?
We use a title company or qualified closing professional to verify ownership, prepare transfer documents, and distribute funds.
