Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We are registered with the State of Illinois and are operating in good standing.
No, and here’s why. Hired Professionals in the real estate business serve their purpose to connect buyers and sellers together for a commission. We go 10 steps farther.
Because we own the land, and have purchased it outright – we have just as much skin in the investment as you do. We have looked at, evaluated and acquired the property based on its condition and marketability. If you find problems on the land (squatters, etc.), just let us know and we’ll take care of it or your money back guaranteed.
We don’t just connect you to the seller of the land for a fee, we own the land and provide it to you directly, cutting out many hidden costs in the process.
It’s also why our closing costs are so low.
The real estate agent industry (also known as realtors) has been around since the early 1900’s. The industry was created to help land buyers find land owners nationally, across the country on the MLS system. However, it is exclusive and limits the amount options you may have on the marketplace based on the geographic and state rules which agents are required to abide by.
As a land investor, we have the right and ability to advertise property which Tis Dirt owns free and clear. What this means for you, is that we can bring property to market faster, in lesser known areas so that way you can benefit from speed to market prices (often times much lower than fair market value).
Because we own the property, we can make the rules and lower the overall cost and price of the property to a much more reasonable and attainable price than traditional real estate. Think of like a car dealership. The car dealership owns the cars. Real estate agents are more like rental agencies (Hertz, Enterprise, etc.). Because they don’t own the property, they really can’t help or negotiate the final price you’re going to pay for the property. And if owner financing isn’t available, well – that’s just it.
Yes! We offer 30-90 day money back guarantees on owner financed land.
First, you find land that you want. Once you’ve decided on a property, you’ll make the down payment and doc fee. After that, you’ll receive the three contracts through DocuSign to review and countersign. Your first payment is due within 30 days.
For cash deals where you pay the total price up-front, you’ll wire funds directly to us at Tis Dirt and we’ll draft the deed, send it to you for review and start the conveyance process – sometimes within 24 hours but not longer than 72 hours. Depending on the speed and availability of online recording, you could have title to your new property in as little as 24 hours.
