How to Sell Vacant Land in Tennessee (Step-by-Step Guide)
Thinking about selling your land in Tennessee? Whether you inherited a rural lot, own a parcel you’re no longer using, or just want to stop paying property taxes on something that’s sitting idle — you’re not alone.
Thousands of landowners in Tennessee are in the same position, wondering how to sell vacant land without the stress, fees, or delays of traditional real estate.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to sell your land in Tennessee — with or without a realtor — and show you why a direct land buyer like Fourth Soil might be your best option.

Step 1: Understand What You’re Selling
Before anything else, gather key details about your property:
County and parcel number (APN)
Acreage and zoning
Road access and utilities
Any back taxes or liens
If you're not sure, your county assessor or GIS website can help. (We’re also happy to assist you — just ask.)
Step 2: Decide How You Want to Sell
There are three main ways to sell land in Tennessee:
1. List with a Realtor
Good if your land is in a highly desirable area.
But most realtors don’t specialize in land — and sales can take months or even years.
2. Sell It Yourself (FSBO)
You can list it on sites like Zillow or Facebook Marketplace.
But you’ll need to handle pricing, paperwork, negotiations, and marketing on your own.
3. Sell Direct to a Land Buyer (Like Us)
Fastest and simplest option — especially for rural, inherited, or hard-to-sell parcels.
No commissions, no fees, no cleanup or repairs.
🟢 At Fourth Soil, we buy land directly from Tennessee owners in all conditions — even if it’s overgrown, behind on taxes, or not currently buildable. We handle all closing costs and make the process simple from start to finish.
Step 3: Get Clear on Pricing
Land doesn’t have an MLS “comp” system like homes, so it can be tricky to price correctly. We look at:
Recent nearby land sales
Access and usability
Zoning and topography
Market demand in your area
Overpricing is the #1 reason land doesn’t sell. A local buyer like us can help you understand what your land is truly worth — and make you a fair cash offer based on those numbers.
Step 4: Close the Sale
If you accept our offer, we’ll:
Handle all the paperwork
Pay all closing costs
Work with a local title company
Close in as little as 2–3 weeks
You walk away with cash, and no more tax bills or headaches from unused land.
