Partner with Land Merchants

Your land may have more to offer.

An immediate cash sale is one option. If you have time and the property is a good fit, a delayed closing gives us room to pursue its development potential—while you have a chance at a higher agreed sale price.

A choice—not a pitch

Which path fits
your priorities?

We explain the trade-offs between selling now and giving the property time for development work. You decide what makes sense for you.

PATH 01 / CASH PURCHASE

Sell sooner, keep it simple.

A cash offer is based on a discounted price relative to the property’s current, undeveloped market value. It may suit an owner who prefers a simpler exit and does not want to wait for development work.

Owner payment: at the agreed cash closing.
PATH 02 / DELAYED CLOSING

Make room for potential.

For a qualifying property, our team can pursue surveys, engineering, zoning, utilities, and approvals during an agreed period—generally about 12–24 months—with the goal of a potentially higher sale price.

Owner payment: under agreed terms at the double closing.
The work behind the value

We invest in the groundwork.

Land is not always builder-ready. For appropriate partnership projects, Land Merchants coordinates and funds the agreed development work instead of asking you to manage each piece alone.

  • Property surveys and engineering investigations.
  • Zoning and entitlement applications, where applicable.
  • Utility planning, access, and approval coordination.
  • Consultants, schedules, and market positioning.

The specific work, costs, and responsibilities belong in the written property agreement; no two parcels require the same plan.

How the partnership works

A plan from review
to double closing.

A typical delayed-closing window is about 12–24 months; the actual milestones depend on your property and agreement.

01 / REVIEW

Look at the land

We review the site, market, owner goals, and development possibilities.

02 / AGREE

Set written terms

We discuss the planned work, expected window, conditions, and payment terms.

03 / PURSUE

Do the groundwork

Our team coordinates appropriate studies, consultants, and approvals.

04 / CLOSE

Sell & get paid

At the coordinated double closing, you receive the proceeds specified in your agreement.

The owner is not paid when the agreement is first signed. Payment occurs at the agreed double closing if its conditions are met. Approval, buyer interest, timing, and a higher price cannot be guaranteed.

Built around the land

The land stays central
to every decision.

Understanding a site’s natural features, access, and surroundings helps shape a responsible development strategy—rather than assuming every parcel follows the same blueprint.

Is partnership a fit?

For owners who can take the longer view.

We begin with a property-specific review, not an assumption that every parcel will qualify.

01 / TIMING

You can wait.

You are open to an agreed 12–24-month development and closing window.

02 / GOAL

You want to explore value.

You would consider a potentially higher later price instead of an immediate cash sale.

03 / SUPPORT

You prefer guidance.

You want experienced help coordinating the work rather than managing consultants alone.

A quick sale or an unsuitable property may make a cash purchase or another path more appropriate.

Questions worth asking

Know the agreement before you decide.

A land review is a chance to discuss real terms, responsibilities, and trade-offs with our team.

When do I get paid?

For delayed closing, the owner is paid under the written agreement when the double closing occurs—not when the initial agreement is signed. A cash purchase follows its own agreed closing and payment date.

Who pays for surveys and approvals?

For qualifying partnership projects, Land Merchants plans to fund and coordinate the appropriate entitlement and related work. The exact scope and financial responsibilities must be set out in the signed property-specific agreement.

How long does the process take?

The delayed-closing path is generally planned around 12–24 months, but diligence, local approvals, and buyer timing vary. Your actual dates and conditions should be discussed before you sign.

Is a higher sale price guaranteed?

No. The partnership route is intended to pursue additional value, but property constraints, approval outcomes, demand, costs, and market conditions can change the result.
