Owner Financing Florida Land: Should Sellers Offer It?

By

Every few months, a Florida landowner asks me the same question: “A buyer offered to make payments directly to me instead of getting a bank loan — should I say yes?” It’s a fair question, and it comes up more with vacant land than with houses, for a simple reason: banks are far more cautious … Continued

Tax Deed Sale Risks in Florida: What Buyers Should Know

By

Tax deed auctions have an obvious appeal. Minimum bids are set by back taxes owed, not by market value, so listings routinely show Florida land “starting at” a few thousand dollars. You’re buying directly from the county instead of negotiating with a private seller. For a patient investor, that can be a legitimate way to … Continued

Florida Land Broker vs. Land Agent: What’s the Difference?

By

Florida’s real estate license law recognizes exactly two categories of licensees: the sales associate — commonly called an “agent” — and the broker.

Neither is … Continued

By

Type “how much is an acre of land in Florida” into Google and you’ll get a dozen different answers, because there isn’t one number — and if you’ve been quoted a single statewide figure, take it with a grain of salt. An acre in the Panhandle can cost less than a used car. An acre … Continued

How to Prepare Your Florida Land Listing for a Fast Sale

By

Most sellers think listing land is the easy part — snap a few photos, write a description, and wait for offers. In practice, the land that sells fastest in Florida is almost never the land that was simply listed. It’s the land that was prepared before it ever went live. Unlike a house, raw land … Continued

What Recreational Land Buyers Want in Florida (2026 Guide)

By

Ask most sellers what makes a piece of land valuable, and they’ll talk about road frontage, zoning, and utility access. Ask a recreational land buyer the same question, and you’ll get a completely different list: deer sign, a year-round creek, how far the nearest neighbor is, and whether there’s a spot flat enough to park … Continued

Do You Need a Buyer’s Agent to Buy Land in Florida?

By

Buying a house, most people wouldn’t dream of skipping a buyer’s agent. When it comes to buying land, a lot of people do — and a surprising number of them regret it.
