We Research & Prepare Your Offer

Once we receive your information, our acquisitions team reviews public county records, appraisal district data, and local market comparables to build a fair cash offer. We do the homework so you don't have to.

  • County appraisal district (CAD) records review
  • Title history and ownership verification
  • Access, utilities, and zoning check
  • Recent comparable land sales in your area

Good to know: This process is fully internal — there's nothing you need to provide or do while we work. We'll call you with the result.

You choose when

Accept & Set a Closing Date

If you decide to move forward, we'll send a simple purchase agreement and open escrow with a licensed Texas title company. You pick the closing date — whether that's 2 weeks or 60 days from now.

  • Simple, plain-English purchase agreement
  • Licensed title company handles all escrow
  • Closing date is entirely your choice
  • Documents can be signed remotely — no travel required

Good to know: We work with reputable, licensed title companies in Texas who protect both parties. The process is exactly the same as any standard real estate transaction.

Your money, fast

Close & Get Paid

On closing day, the title company finalizes the transfer and releases your funds. You receive payment via wire transfer or check — whichever you prefer. We cover all closing costs.

  • We pay all closing costs and title fees
  • Funds released same day as closing
  • Wire transfer or check — your choice
  • Deed recorded by the title company on your behalf

Good to know: The average closing with Light Street takes 21–30 days from accepted offer to funds in hand. If you need to close faster, let us know — we can often accommodate.

Our Review Criteria

What We Look At When Reviewing Your Property

Our team researches each property thoroughly before making an offer. Here's exactly what factors go into our evaluation — and none of them require anything from you upfront.

Property Information

Location & County

The county determines tax rates, zoning rules, and local market demand — all key inputs in our offer calculation.

Acreage & Size

Larger parcels generally command a higher price per acre in rural areas. We use CAD records to verify acreage.

Road Access

Land with legal road frontage or a recorded easement is significantly more marketable than landlocked parcels.

Utilities & Services

Electric, water, and sewer access (or lack thereof) affects both value and the buyer pool for the land.

Tax & Lien Status

Outstanding property taxes or liens are resolvable — we handle them at closing and factor them into the offer.

Zoning & Land Use

Residential, agricultural, commercial — zoning affects what the land can be used for and who will want to buy it.

Owner Information

Name on the Deed

The legal owner (or owners) must be involved in the sale. If the land is in a trust or LLC, we work with those too.

Contact Information

A phone number and email address so we can deliver the offer and answer your questions directly.

Multiple Owners

Inherited land or jointly owned parcels are common. All owners will need to agree to the sale — we help coordinate this.

Authorization to Sell

If you're acting under a Power of Attorney or as an estate executor, we work with those arrangements regularly.

You Don't Need to Prepare Anything

Many sellers worry they need to gather documents, hire a surveyor, or resolve issues before reaching out. You don't. We pull records ourselves, work through complications internally, and only ask you for what's absolutely necessary when the time comes. Start by simply filling out the form.

FAQ

Questions We Hear Often

Do I need to hire a real estate agent?

No. Selling directly to Light Street means no listing, no agent, and no commission. You deal directly with our team from first contact to closing.

What if I don't know the exact acreage or boundaries?

That's fine — an estimate is enough to get started. We pull county appraisal district records during our research phase and don't require you to provide a survey upfront.

My land has unpaid taxes. Can you still buy it?

Yes. Unpaid property taxes are one of the most common situations we encounter. We handle the tax payoff at closing and adjust the offer accordingly.

What if multiple people own the land?

All owners must agree to and sign the purchase agreement. We're experienced working with inherited land and will help coordinate across multiple heirs or owners.

Can I back out after accepting an offer?

There's no obligation until you sign a purchase agreement. Even after signing, there's typically a review period. We'll always be transparent about your options at every stage.

How do I receive my money?

Funds are released by the title company on the day of closing via wire transfer or check — whichever you prefer. We don't hold funds or pay in installments.
