How We Helped Deborah Sell 40 Acres of Inherited Land Near Mobile, Alabama
Wetlands, no road access, and two heirs who never wanted to deal with raw land in the first place. Here’s how Clear Path House Buyer got it sold, without either of them ever setting foot on the property.
Selling Inherited Land Doesn’t Have to Mean Years on the Market
Raw, rural land with wetlands and no road access is some of the hardest real estate to sell. Most realtors won’t take the listing, and most buyers can’t get financing for it. Deborah’s story shows that when you need to sell inherited land in Alabama, difficult terrain and multiple heirs don’t have to mean the property sits for years.
How Deborah Ended Up Selling 40 Acres North of Mobile
Deborah and her brother inherited 40 acres of raw land from their father. Neither of them lived near the property, and neither had any plans to develop it. We connected with Deborah last year after reaching out about the land, and after a few conversations working through her options, we agreed to try to get the property sold together.
The land itself made for a difficult sale. A large portion of it was wetlands, it was very rural, and there were no roads going to it, the kind of property most investors and realtors pass on. We did the market research to understand what it could actually sell for, and took a chance on it. The first offers that came in were low, and it took some extra time to find one that would actually work for Deborah and her brother.
We handled all the title work ourselves. Deborah and her brother never had to go to the property in person, all they did was stay in communication with us and then drive to a local title company to close and collect their proceeds. It took extra work and time on our end to get the right buyer, but it stayed a hands-off experience for both of them the entire way through.
“Even though it took extra work and time on our end to get the right buyer, it was still a hands-off experience for Deborah and her brother. We were able to help them with an unwanted property their dad passed down to them, in an easy, caring way.”
