# Patriot Plots > Veteran and family-owned land buyer. We buy vacant, inherited, and problem land directly from owners for cash across 10 states — no agent, no commissions, no fees. We buy as-is, including parcels in probate, behind on back taxes, or without legal access. A cash sale typically closes in about three weeks. Run by Brian and Katie Desmarais. Contact: (706) 710-2258 / operations@patriotplots.com ## Guides - [How to sell land you inherited](https://www.patriotplots.com/guides/sell-inherited-land): First confirm the estate has legal authority to sell — that usually means the property has cleared probate, or that an executor or personal representative has been appointed and can sign. Once someone has authority to convey title, you can list the land with an agent, sell it yourself, or sell it directly to a cash land buyer. A direct cash sale is usually the fastest route and is generally the one people choose when the land is rural, hard to value, shared between heirs, or carrying unpaid taxes. - [How to sell land without a realtor](https://www.patriotplots.com/guides/sell-land-without-a-realtor): Yes. There's no legal requirement to use an agent to sell land in any state. You can sell directly to a buyer and have a title company or closing attorney handle the deed, title search, and money transfer. Skipping the agent saves the commission — typically a meaningful percentage of the sale price, and often higher on land than on houses — but it means you're responsible for finding a buyer and making sure the paperwork is done properly. - [What is my land actually worth?](https://www.patriotplots.com/guides/what-is-my-land-worth): Land is valued on what comparable parcels nearby have actually sold for, adjusted for the things that make your specific parcel more or less usable: whether it has legal access to a public road, how much of the acreage is genuinely usable versus wetland or steep slope, what the zoning permits, and whether utilities are reachable. The tax-assessed value is not a reliable guide and is frequently well off the real market figure in either direction. - [Selling land when you owe back taxes](https://www.patriotplots.com/guides/sell-land-with-back-taxes): Yes. Owing back property taxes does not prevent you from selling. In a normal sale the unpaid taxes are paid out of the proceeds at closing — the title company identifies what's owed and settles it from the purchase price, so you don't have to pay the debt up front. You only need to act with more urgency if the county has already begun a tax foreclosure or scheduled a tax sale, because those deadlines are enforced. - [Selling landlocked property with no legal access](https://www.patriotplots.com/guides/landlocked-property): Yes, though it takes a buyer who understands the problem. A landlocked parcel is one with no legally recorded right to reach it from a public road. That blocks most conventional buyers, because without access the land generally can't be built on or financed. Your realistic options are to obtain a recorded easement from a neighboring owner, pursue a legal right of way where state law allows it, or sell the parcel as-is to a buyer who will take on the access problem themselves. - [Selling land that's in probate](https://www.patriotplots.com/guides/sell-land-in-probate): Usually you can agree a sale while probate is underway, but the closing itself can't happen until someone has legal authority to sign the deed — normally an executor named in the will or a personal representative appointed by the court. In some states and some estates, a sale during probate also needs court approval. Many cash buyers will make an offer and hold the agreement open while the estate finishes, so the process runs in parallel rather than one after the other. ## About - [About Patriot Plots](https://www.patriotplots.com/about): Who we are, what we buy, what it costs a seller, and how long a sale takes. ## Where we buy - [Alabama](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/alabama): 67 counties. - [Arkansas](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/arkansas): 75 counties. - [Georgia](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/georgia): 159 counties. - [Maine](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/maine): 16 counties. - [New Hampshire](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/new-hampshire): 10 counties. - [North Carolina](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/north-carolina): 100 counties. - [Pennsylvania](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/pennsylvania): 67 counties. - [South Carolina](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/south-carolina): 46 counties. - [Vermont](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/vermont): 14 counties. - [Virginia](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land/virginia): 134 counties. - [All areas](https://www.patriotplots.com/sell-land): Index of every state and county we buy in. ## Optional - [Sitemap](https://www.patriotplots.com/sitemap.xml): All 708 pages, including one page per county.
