Sell land in California
Own land in Agoura Hills you don't need? Request a parcel review for your lot or acreage — no commission charged by us, no listing, and no waiting on a buyer who needs a loan. This is not an offer; any offer will be made in writing only after we research your parcel.
The process
Three steps. No pressure, ever.
Address, APN or county assessor parcel number, or just the county and nearest road — plus the acreage if you know it. You can start with whatever you know.
We check access, utilities, deed restrictions, floodplain records, and the sales and county assessor records available nearby, then call you about the parcel. Our goal is an offer within 24 to 48 hours after we receive enough parcel information.
Our goal is closing in 14 to 30 days after acceptance when title is clear. Title, survey, probate, tax, lien, or access issues can take longer, and we will tell you if that applies to your parcel. If you accept an offer, closing is handled through escrow, and you are paid by wire or cashier's check when escrow closes, subject to the escrow holder's funding and disbursement requirements. We will tell you which escrow company and title insurer will be used before you sign.
Many conditions
We consider lots and acreage in many situations, but we do not promise an offer on every parcel. Whether we offer, and at what price, depends on title, access, utilities, restrictions, taxes and liens, and the research described below.
We consider land as it sits in many conditions — brush, fences, and old structures included. Conditions such as illegal dumping, contamination, or code violations can affect whether we offer and at what price, and we will tell you if we find them. This page is for vacant land. If your parcel includes a home you live in and a notice of default has been recorded against it, tell us before you sign anything — different California law applies to that sale, and we will use the contract and cancellation notices that law requires.
If you inherited land, we can buy the parcel only after the person or persons legally entitled to sell are identified. Some inherited parcels require a probate case, a court order determining who succeeded to the land, or another procedure California law allows for estates of limited value — including a court order determining succession under Probate Code §§13150–13157 and the affidavit procedure for real property of limited value under Probate Code §13200 — plus deeds from all persons who hold an interest. That process can delay or prevent closing, and it does not cut off the rights of an heir who was left out or of the decedent's creditors. Whether the result gives insurable title is the title company's decision, not a guarantee. We are not your lawyer and we do not handle probate for you; we recommend you speak with a California attorney before you sign. If you are deciding whether to keep inherited land or transfer it within your family, ask that attorney or a tax adviser about California's Proposition 19 reassessment rules before you decide — a transfer does not automatically keep the prior property-tax assessment.
Many out-of-state sales can be handled by phone and through escrow, but signing method, identification, and any notary or mail costs depend on the escrow holder's requirements. We will confirm the signing method and any cost to you before you sign.
Delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, and other liens are normally shown on the escrow closing statement and paid from the proceeds if the proceeds are enough. If what is owed is more than the agreed price, the sale may not close on those terms. Property taxes are a lien on the land itself; some other debts, such as judgment liens, can remain your personal obligation even after a sale — we will show you the amounts we find, in writing, before you sign, and a California attorney or tax adviser can tell you which is which. If taxes have been delinquent for years, the county tax collector can gain the power to sell the land at a tax sale, so tell us how far behind the taxes are when you contact us. If the county has scheduled the parcel for a tax sale, or the taxes are about to become payable by the county for sale, tell us the date when you contact us — the amount needed to pay the taxes changes over time, and a pending county tax sale can change or prevent the timeline above.
Lack of road access or utilities can substantially reduce value and, in some cases, prevent a closing until access is established to the title company's satisfaction. We will explain the access facts we found and the effect on price before you sign.
Listed it and heard nothing? A direct cash sale can skip the wait for a buyer who needs a loan and a builder's timeline.
If the land is subject to a divorce, estate, trust, or community-property claim, all persons required by law or court order must join the sale, and a sale cannot close until title is clear. California is a community-property state: if the land is community property, both spouses generally must sign the sale documents (Family Code §1102(a)), even if only one spouse's name is on the deed. If the land is one spouse's separate property, that spouse can generally sell it alone. Whether the land is community or separate property, and who must sign, depends on how and when it was acquired — the escrow and title company will confirm who must join, and a California attorney can advise you before you sign.
Single lots, scattered lots, or several lots together — in town or in a rural subdivision. Calling a lot a subdivision lot does not by itself mean it is a separate legal parcel or that it can be built on today; that depends on the recorded maps, local rules, access, and utilities, which are part of the research we describe below. We do not guarantee that any lot is buildable.
Acreage outside the city, farmland no longer being worked, ranch land, and recreational parcels.
Straight answers
We review recorded sales, county assessor records, and other public records for your parcel. In California, sale prices are public record, so we review the recorded sales and public records available for parcels like yours — we will tell you what information we actually used, and we will explain the factors that affected your offer.
How much land there is, and whether its shape and dimensions make it usable.
What can be built depends on the rules that actually apply — county or city zoning where it exists, deed restrictions, subdivision rules, and floodplain records. We check the records that apply to your parcel.
Legal, physical access from a public road, and how much frontage the parcel has.
Whether water, sewer or septic, and electric are at the lot — or how far away they are.
We check available floodplain maps as one factor. A floodplain designation does not by itself decide whether a parcel can be built on; permits, elevation, insurance, and local rules must also be checked.
We check available state maps for very high fire hazard severity zones, wildland fire areas, earthquake fault zones, and seismic hazard zones as part of the same research. Being in one of these zones can affect insurance, building requirements, and price, and we will tell you what we found before you sign.
Deed restrictions, subdivision rules, and HOA dues and transfer fees. The contract will state what HOA dues, assessments, and transfer fees apply; amounts owed may be deducted at closing and will be shown in writing before you sign.
Whether the mineral rights are included with the surface, severed, or leased. The contract will state whether mineral rights, if any, convey with the land. We buy the land itself; we do not buy, sell, or broker mineral, oil, or gas interests separately.
Delinquent property taxes, penalties, interest, and other liens are normally paid from the proceeds at closing if the proceeds are enough. Special assessments and Mello-Roos or other community facilities district taxes are different: any delinquent installments are paid at closing, but the ongoing charges run with the land and continue after the sale, and they can affect the price we can offer. Some rural parcels are under a Williamson Act contract, which restricts the land to agricultural or open-space use, continues after a sale, and can be expensive to end — we will tell you in writing if we find one. We will check the parcel's tax status with the county and show any amounts found in writing before you sign. The purchase contract will state who is responsible for taxes, assessments, and liens.
Areas we consider
We consider lots and acreage across Agoura Hills and Los Angeles County and everywhere in between. City lots, rural parcels outside town, land along the county roads — if it's in Los Angeles County, we'll research it and give you a straight answer.
Get started
Submitting this form is free and does not obligate you to sell. If you later sign a purchase contract, that contract will be binding on its own terms, which we will explain before you sign. Tell us where the land is — an address, an APN or county assessor parcel number, or just the county and the nearest road.
Principal buyer disclosure: Wise Revival, LLC buys land as a principal buyer. We are not real estate agents or brokers, we do not list property, and we do not represent you. We set our own cash purchase price; that price may be less than market value, and we may resell the land for more than we pay you. We will close the purchase ourselves, in escrow, and pay you the agreed price at that closing. After we have closed and taken title, we may resell the land to another buyer in a separate transaction; that resale is not part of your sale, does not change your price, and you will not be asked to sign documents with the resale buyer. We may keep a profit on a resale. The purchase is not contingent on the buyer obtaining a loan. You are free to list the land, get another offer, or get an appraisal before you decide, and before you sign any contract you may consult your own attorney, broker, appraiser, or tax adviser at your own cost — because we are the buyer, our interests are not the same as yours. This page is for vacant land. If your parcel includes a house or other dwelling that you live in as your principal residence, tell us — different rules and disclosures may apply to that sale. Nothing on this page is an offer; any offer will be made in writing only after we research your parcel, and you are free to accept or decline it.
How your information is used: we may share your parcel and contact information with a title company, with the service providers that run our customer, phone/text and website systems (under contract to use it only for us). Your consent to be contacted is to us only; it does not authorize any other buyer to call or text you, and we do not share your text-message consent. See our Privacy Policy and Terms. Wise Revival, LLC — mailing address: 1701 Bassett Ave, Suite 171 PMB 1090, El Paso, TX 79901. Phone: (844) 483-1067.
Good to know
Our goal is an offer within 24 to 48 hours after we receive enough parcel information, and closing in 14 to 30 days after acceptance when title is clear. Title, survey, probate, tax, lien, or access issues can take longer, and we will tell you if that applies to your parcel. We can also work around your timeline if you need longer.
A survey is not always required, but the title insurer or escrow holder may require one, and only a licensed surveyor can prepare it. If you already have a survey, it can help. Before you sign, we will state in writing whether a survey is required and who pays for it.
Delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, and other liens are normally shown on the escrow closing statement and paid from the proceeds if the proceeds are enough. If what is owed is more than the agreed price, the sale may not close on those terms. Property taxes are a lien on the land itself; some other debts, such as judgment liens, can remain your personal obligation even after a sale — we will show you the amounts we find, in writing, before you sign, and a California attorney or tax adviser can tell you which is which. If taxes have been delinquent for years, the county tax collector can gain the power to sell the land at a tax sale, so tell us how far behind the taxes are when you contact us. If the county has scheduled the parcel for a tax sale, or the taxes are about to become payable by the county for sale, tell us the date when you contact us — the amount needed to pay the taxes changes over time, and a pending county tax sale can change or prevent the timeline above.
Lack of road access or utilities can substantially reduce value and, in some cases, prevent a closing until access is established to the title company's satisfaction. Where a sale can proceed, we will explain the access facts we found and exactly how they affected the price before you sign.
If you inherited land, we can buy the parcel only after the person or persons legally entitled to sell are identified. Some inherited parcels require a probate case, a court order determining who succeeded to the land, or another procedure California law allows for estates of limited value — including a court order determining succession under Probate Code §§13150–13157 and the affidavit procedure for real property of limited value under Probate Code §13200 — plus deeds from all persons who hold an interest. That process can delay or prevent closing, and it does not cut off the rights of an heir who was left out or of the decedent's creditors. Whether the result gives insurable title is the title company's decision, not a guarantee. We are not your lawyer and we do not handle probate for you; we recommend you speak with a California attorney before you sign. For out-of-state owners, many sales can be handled by phone and through escrow, but signing method, identification, and any notary or mail costs depend on the escrow holder's requirements; we will confirm those before you sign.
Before you sign a purchase contract, we will give you a written estimate of the amounts we expect to be deducted from the price — such as taxes, liens, or HOA amounts we have found — and of your estimated net. Amounts can change if new amounts are found. At closing, every amount actually deducted will be itemized on the escrow closing statement, which you will receive before you sign the closing documents. There is no listing and no agent commission charged by us. The purchase contract states who pays for the title policy, escrow, recording, documentary transfer tax and any escrow-required tax forms, and any survey, and we will go over that allocation with you before you sign. If you have an existing listing agreement with a broker, check what, if anything, you owe your own broker — we do not pay it. California law (Revenue and Taxation Code §18662) may also require an amount to be withheld from your proceeds at closing as a prepayment of your California income tax (generally 3 1/3 percent of the price on sales over $100,000, unless you qualify for an exemption or a lower calculation) — the escrow holder will give you the state form (FTB Form 593) before closing, and any amount withheld will appear on your closing statement. This is not a charge by us.
