Frequently Asked Questions

Who is LandSupply?

LandSupply is an American real estate company that buys vacant and raw land directly from owners across the country. We are co-founded by John W. Collins, an entrepreneur and operator, and Kesha Zaffino, a JAG federal attorney. Our office is at 3701 S. Pinnacle Hills Pkwy, Suite 210, Rogers, AR 72758. We are not a broker or an agency. We buy land with our own funds and close through licensed title companies.

Is this a scam? How do I know you're real?

Fair question to ask anyone who sends a letter offering to buy your land. The short answer: we are a registered American company with a real address, real founders, and every closing handled through a licensed title company. You can call John directly at (479) 222-1002, look up LandSupply, LLC in the Arkansas Secretary of State records, or ask for a reference to the title company we use in your area. We expect skepticism. We've structured the business to earn trust, not demand it.

Why did I get a letter from you about my land?

We mail letters to landowners in markets we are actively buying in. We find your name and address through public county records, the same records anyone can access. We don't buy mailing lists, we don't sell your information, and we don't add you to any other lists. If you would prefer not to receive future letters from us, just let us know and we will remove your address.

How do you decide what to offer?

Every offer is based on real research, not a guess. We look at comparable land sales in your area (what similar parcels have actually sold for), your parcel's zoning and access (whether it can be built on, whether utilities reach it), and current builder and developer demand in your market. We do the work before we send the offer. When we send it, we can explain how we got there if you want us to.

Will the offer be the full market value of my land?

We try to be honest with you here. Our offer is typically below what your land might sell for on the open market with a listing agent over many months. The trade-off is what you get in return: cash in days instead of months, no fees, no agents, no commissions, no repairs, no waiting on a buyer's financing, no walking the property with strangers. For sellers who value certainty and speed over chasing a maximum number, the math usually works. If you want the highest possible price and you have time to wait, an agent might be the right choice. We will say so directly if that's the case for you.

What does the process actually look like, start to finish?

There are four steps. One, you tell us about your land (address or parcel number, that's enough to get started). Two, we do the research and send you a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. Three, if you like the offer, you sign a simple purchase agreement and we open escrow at a licensed title company. Four, the title company handles everything else, title search, deed preparation, lien payoff, closing documents, and you receive cash at closing, often in 30 days from signing.

How long does closing take?

Usually 14 to 30 days from the day you sign the purchase agreement, depending on how quickly the title company can clear title. If your land has a complicated title history, liens, or unclear ownership, it can take longer. The title company handles all of that and tells us both what they find. We don't rush the process at the cost of doing it right.

Are there any fees I have to pay?

No. You don't pay landsupply for the offer, the research, the contract, or the closing. The buyer side (us) pays the standard closing costs, including title insurance and the title company's fees. You take home exactly what we agreed on in the purchase price. The only thing you may want to consider on your own is any taxes you might owe on the sale, which is between you and your accountant.

When do I get paid?

At closing, on the same day you sign the final deed. Cash goes to you directly from the title company's escrow account, typically by wire transfer or certified check, depending on what you prefer. You don't have to wait for the buyer (us) to find financing, because we don't use financing. The funds are already in escrow before closing.

What if my land has back taxes, liens, or other issues?

Most land we buy has at least one of those. Back property taxes, mortgage liens, easements, unclear deeds from inheritance, neighbor disputes. The title company is paid to find and resolve these issues, and we usually pay them off at closing out of the purchase price. We will tell you upfront if we find something that would block the sale, and we will not pressure you to handle it on your own. If we can't make the math work given what's owed, we will tell you that too.

Do I need a real estate agent or a lawyer?

You don't need an agent. We are buying directly from you, so there is no agent involved on either side and no commission. You don't need a lawyer either, but you are welcome to bring one if it helps you feel comfortable. The purchase agreement we use is simple, the closing happens at a licensed title company, and the title company itself reviews every document for legal accuracy. We never object to a seller having a lawyer involved.

What kinds of land do you buy?

Vacant residential lots, raw acreage, inherited rural land, infill lots in growing suburbs, land near development corridors, and parcels that have been sitting unused for years. We don't buy land with a house on it (we are a land buyer, not a home buyer). We don't buy commercial real estate. If your land doesn't quite fit, send us the details anyway and we'll tell you whether it's a fit for us or refer you to someone who buys what you have.
