How to Vet an Online Land Sale Company

Whether you are looking to buy and develop a home to move into right away, looking for a vacation spot, or you want a spot for off-grid camping or any traditional or alternative purpose, it’s important to find quality land that is backed by a reputable company. This gives you the confidence that you are working with an online land sale company that is likely to deliver a positive customer experience.

While purchasing land online is convenient and potentially streamlines many of the processes that are traditionally slower and less efficient, the company you work with must be credible or you risk making a poor investment (or, worse, being scammed).

In this article, we take a detailed look at how to identify reputable companies that have your best interest at heart.

Does the Seller Have a Reputable Online Presence?

If you are planning to buy land online, it’s important that you start by ensuring you are dealing with a legitimate seller. As soon as you find an online land sale company (or individual seller), it’s recommended to start by vetting their online and social media presence.

• Do they appear to have a solid track record?
• Are their previous customers happy?
• Are they available to answer your questions?
• Have they been around for several years?
• Does anything seem suspicious?

Avoid entrusting your hard-earned money to “online sellers” who have no substantial online presence. A serious online business will be visible and active on social media, and make it known exactly how their business works. In other words, they stand behind their company and operate with transparency. Sellers without a website or with a website that looks unprofessional should be viewed with skepticism.

You can also identify scammers by their lack of professionalism and tendency to avoid answering specific questions regarding property listings or their business model. If a seller does not want to communicate over the phone or is doing anything at all that is not geared toward providing excellent service, this might be a red flag for fraudulent activity. A reputable company is eager to earn your business and to provide the support you need in making a fully informed decision to invest in the right property for you.

Buy Through a Great Company

There are plenty of options if you’re looking to purchase land from an online company.
