Frequently Asked Questions
What types of land do you purchase?
We look for parcels of vacant land that sellers no longer have a use for—and would rather sell for cash than have the burden of property ownership, maintenance, taxes or HOA dues. We are interested in all types of properties, regardless of any condition or situation.
I receive offers for my property all the time, why should I choose Avorgate Land Investments?
We assess the market value of vacant land very accurately. Pricing vacant land is way more difficult than pricing a single-family home or an apartment complex, especially in the absence of similar lots in the vicinity. We overcame this challenge by using the most innovative software tools currently available and by implementing an effective and verified process. This approach is what allows us to determine the exact market value of each property that we consider buying.
We are ready to pay you a fair amount of cash for your property. At Avorgate Land Investments we allocate about 60% of our annual budget to acquisitions, which are the most critical cog of our business. Although not being able to pay full market value for all the properties that we buy, we are always ready to make additional efforts and go the extra mile for those properties matching our investment criteria.
You are going to receive your money with NO DELAY. We build very transparent relationships with our sellers. If we buy your property, we are going to take title and become owners (we DO NOT assign contracts to third parties/final buyers) and we will be your only point of contact during the whole transaction. (The straight relationship that we create with our sellers and the net of the skilled and reliable real estate professionals (title companies, attorneys, etc.) working with us, are the two key factors bringing the agreed amount of money directly into your bank account with no delay.)
I’ve already experienced that real estate transactions are not as simple and easy as it seems. How can you guarantee that?
We keep it simple! It’s part of human nature to overcomplicate things that would be otherwise easy. Unfortunately, this doesn’t change when it comes to land transactions. At Avorgate Land Investments, we use a different approach though, based on the conviction that all transactions should follow an extremely simple and fluid process. In order to avoid procedural issues and/or inefficiencies (usually associated with self-closed transactions), we always use accredited professionals to take care of title work, closing, and money disbursement. Additionally, we cover all the closing costs (also probate, on a case-by-case basis) and recording fees! We work to make the whole experience simple and pleasant for you!
How does your selling process work?
In most situations we are able to close quickly, and we will pay all of the associated costs of completing this transaction, including back taxes as well as title and escrow fees with a local Title Company. The price we agree upon is the amount of the cashier’s check you will receive (no hidden fees).
I don’t want to submit my property through this site, can I call instead?
Sure you can! The fastest way for you to submit a property to our attention and receive an offer from us is to fill out the form that you can find on our website. That said, of course, you can still send an email to bfortunato@avorgate.com or call (727) 383-6714.
What will you do with my property once you buy it?
Depending on a series of factors (including location, acreage, presence of utilities, legal and physical access, etc) we could decide to hold it within our Family and develop in the future for personal use OR to match it up with people who just look for that type of land and sell it to them.
What are the benefits of submitting my property information on this website?
It is by far the fastest way I can get back to you with an offer. Once you have provided the relevant info about your property through the online form, we’ll get them almost immediately, go through the main features of your vacant land, and, finally, generate our best and most personalized offer.
Is there a cost for your services?
Absolutely NOT. We are not realtors and we’re not charging any fees. The offer reported on our purchase agreement will be the exact amount of money that you’ll receive.
How quickly can you make me an offer?
From the moment that you have submitted your property to our attention, we will reach out to you by email or by phone within 2 business days to present our offer to you.
You sent me a purchase agreement, what is that?
The purchase agreement is the document that spells out exactly what we will pay as well as the terms of the transaction. It needs to be signed by both the seller(s) – intended as the owner(s) of the property as per the current deed – and the buyer – our company – and it DOES NOT need to be notarized. After that you (as seller) have signed it, all you need to do is to email the signed file (pdf, jpeg, or png) to bfortunato@avorgate.com (easiest and fastest way) OR mail to us (you can find all our contacts at the bottom of this webpage). Once the purchase agreement is signed, we will forward it to the title company or estate attorney to open escrow and finalize the closing.
How do I get paid for my property?
The title company/estate attorney will wire the money to your bank account or send a check to you, according to your preferences.
