Start with the location, acres and names on the deed. Explain how someone can reach the land and what services you know about. Then compare similar sales and ways to find a buyer. You can begin with the papers you have, even if you live far away.
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, a recent tax bill and any old survey. Write down the property number and the pieces you want to sell. If there’s no street address, add a map pin and directions from a known road.
The Texas Comptroller’s Culberson County directory identifies the appraisal district and tax office. Start with those local offices for questions about your property record or tax bill. A tax value is background, not a guaranteed selling price.
The Culberson County Clerk keeps deeds and other public records. Ask how to get a missing deed and what a copy costs. Have the owner’s name and any old book, page or document number handy.
If different papers show different acres, share them rather than picking the largest number. An agent or closing professional can help work through the mismatch.
For a remote piece, directions matter. Describe the turn off the main road, the distance to the entrance and any locked gates. Say whether you’ve visited recently. Don’t guess that a car can make the trip if you don’t know.
A track across someone else’s property doesn’t prove you have a right to use it. Share any written access agreement. Ask a closing professional to help review that right before promising access to a buyer.
List what you know about power, a well or other services. “Power is nearby” is different from “this property has a working connection.” Share bills, photos or old well papers you already have. Buyers can decide what checks their plans need.
Describe rocky or steep areas and any wash or low place where water runs. A wash is a channel that may carry water after rain. Photos of the entrance and ground help a buyer understand what they’re considering.
You don’t need to drill a well or build a road before asking about selling. Ask whether any work would help the sale before paying for it.
Ask a local land agent for completed sales with similar size, access, distance from services and ground. Keep a small lot with utilities separate from a remote larger piece. An ad shows what an owner wants, not what a buyer paid.
Tell the agent about any grazing agreement or other current use. Share papers about mineral interests or water use if you have them. Don’t promise rights you haven’t confirmed.
Check the exact pieces included, price, deposit, buyer’s time for checks and closing date. Ask what allows cancellation or a price change. Be clear about fences, equipment and other items that stay.
Ask who pays each cost and what comes out of your payment. For a made-up example, $40,000 less $4,000 in seller costs leaves $36,000 before other debts. A $38,000 offer with $1,000 in costs leaves $37,000. The higher price doesn’t always leave you more.
These figures explain the math, not local land values. Our offer comparison worksheet helps put the terms side by side.
Closing finishes the sale with signed papers and payment. Ask who handles it, what they need and how you’ll receive the money. If you live elsewhere, ask what signing options are available before making travel plans.
If you’re handling inherited land or helping settle a loved one’s estate, bring the papers you have. An attorney or closing professional can help work out who needs to sign. Mention other owners, a loan or missing records early.
See our seller document checklist and Texas seller guide. If you want a direct offer to compare, tell Reelvest about your land. You decide whether it fits.
Use the property number, deed, map pin and entrance directions. Say what you know and which details still need checking.
Start with the Culberson County Clerk. Ask how to get the recorded deed you need and what a copy costs.
You can begin with the current condition. Share known services and ask whether any work would help your sale before spending money.
