Find your land papers and write down the nearest community and what you want to sell. Then compare prices and choose an agent, sell yourself or ask for a direct offer. Start with what you know. The city’s tax records cover land inside Dillingham, not the whole Census Area.
Tell us about your land. There’s no obligation to accept an offer.
Start with what you know. These steps will help you get ready and choose the way to sell that fits you.
Find your deed, old survey or tax bill if you have one. Write down the nearest community, acres and the land description from your papers. A land description tells one piece from another. Empty land may not have a street address.
Check whether the land is inside the City of Dillingham or in another community. That helps you ask the right office for help. A place in the Dillingham Census Area is not always inside city limits.
List all the pieces and items included. Say if a building stays with the sale or if you want to keep part of the land. Think about what matters most: price, less work or a sale around a certain date. You can start without every answer.
The City of Dillingham’s Real Property page links tax rolls for land and buildings inside the city. Match the land description with your own papers. If the two don’t match, ask for help before using the entry.
The page lists 907-842-5211 for the Finance team. Have your land description and bill handy. Ask how to check the record and who can confirm a current tax balance. A tax value is different from a buyer’s offer.
For land outside the city, don’t assume the city’s roll covers your piece. Ask the office named on any bill or the nearest local office where to begin. Use state recorded documents for deed help.
Keep loan statements, leases and shared fees with your papers. If you don’t have a tax bill, don’t assume there are no charges. Ask how to check before agreeing on the money you would keep.
The Alaska Recorder’s Office lists searches by name, document number, book and page, plat and survey. A plat is a drawing that shows lots. Use names and record numbers from older papers to get started.
The Anchorage office’s community list places Dillingham, Aleknagik, Ekwok, Manokotak, New Stuyahok and Togiak in the Bristol Bay recording district. A recording district is the area used to organize recorded documents. Use the state’s Find Your District link if you’re unsure about your piece.
The current Anchorage office lists 907-269-8876. Ask how to find the deed, get a copy and check the cost. Ask what you can handle from home. A missing online result does not prove there is no deed.
Gather any survey, loan details, written road agreements, leases and lot rules. A survey is a measured drawing of boundaries. If older papers describe a lease or a special ownership arrangement, ask a title company or real estate attorney what can be sold.
If you’re handling inherited land or helping settle a loved one’s estate, start with what you have. Ask who needs to sign and which papers are missing. Our land seller document checklist can help. Keep private family and loan papers out of a public ad.
Prepare a short description, dated photos and directions from the nearest community or arrival point. Say whether the trip needs road, boat, air or foot travel. Explain who can give permission to enter and where a visitor could meet someone who knows the land.
Describe the route you have actually used. Say when you made the trip and which seasons you haven’t checked. A nearby road or river does not prove a buyer has a right to use that route.
Show the entrance, clear areas and any buildings included. Note wet or rough ground you know about. Say which power, water or other services work on the piece now. Don’t describe a nearby line as a working connection.
If you live away from the land, gather the papers and photos you already have first. Ask an agent or buyer what they need before paying for a trip. Agree on who would arrange a visit. Mark unanswered questions instead of guessing.
Ask a land agent or appraiser familiar with your community for recent completed sales buyers would compare with your piece. Ask how they checked the prices and what that help costs.
Compare the community, size, travel route, working services and included items. A city lot with road access may be a poor match for land that needs a separate boat trip. A sale with a home or cabin is different from empty land.
Keep the sale date, price, acres and included items together. If several pieces sold as one deal, check the whole deal before giving one piece a price. Count the deal once even if several websites show it.
An asking price or city tax value is not proof of what a buyer paid. If good matches are scarce, ask for a range and the reasons behind it. Our land value guide explains more price factors.
Use an agent: A land agent can help with pricing, ads, showings and offers. Ask about the fee, listing length and recent work with land like yours.
Sell yourself: You handle the ad, questions, visits and offers. You may still need help with the agreement and closing.
Compare a direct offer: A direct buyer may give you another choice without listing the land. Check the price and terms against your goals. You can say no.
Before arranging a visit, explain how to reach the land and who can give permission to enter. Keep private records out of the listing. Share needed papers with the people helping with the sale.
Get the offer and terms in writing. Check the right pieces of land are included. Ask who pays closing costs, any agent fee and other charges. Ask how a loan or unpaid taxes will be paid.
A higher price may leave you with less money if you pay more costs. For example, $30,000 less $2,000 in costs leaves $28,000 before a loan or tax balance. That is made-up math, not a price for your land.
Read the target date and what lets the buyer cancel or ask for a lower price. Ask who holds the deposit and what happens to it. Use our land offer worksheet to compare offers side by side.
If you’d like a direct offer to compare, tell Reelvest about your land. You decide whether an offer fits.
Ask who will handle closing—the final papers and payment. Have that person explain the land description, owners who must sign, costs and money you would receive.
Ask how any lease, road agreement or rules that came with the lot affect the sale papers. If a name or boundary is unclear, get help before signing. A target date does not mean all the checks are finished.
Confirm payment instructions with the closing office using a phone number you already trust. Keep copies of the signed agreement and final papers. Our Alaska land seller guide gives more general steps.
