To sell Union County land, gather your parcel details and papers, compare similar sales and choose how to find a buyer. For a missing record, use the county’s guide to reach the office that holds that kind of paper.
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 a tax bill, your deed and a map. Write down the Union County parcel number, owner names and nearest road. For several tracts, mark which ones are part of the sale. Keep each parcel’s papers together.
You can start sale talks with gaps in your file. Say what you know, list what is missing and ask who can help find it. A guessed address or acreage is less useful than a clear question.
The Union County Open Records Request page routes property deeds, plats, covenants and restrictions to the Clerk of Superior Court. It lists appraisals under the Tax Assessor and tax-bill records under the Tax Commissioner. Choose the office by the paper you need.
For a deed or plat request, keep owner names and any recording date, book and page or document number ready. Ask which copy may answer your sale question. Save the full paper, including attachments, with its source and date.
If you find a written restriction or a difference between papers, share it with the closing team. Ask what it means for the proposed sale before making a promise to a buyer. A parcel summary and a recorded restriction can answer different questions.
Write directions from a public road. Note gates, shared drives and who can approve a visit. Share any written road agreement with the closing team. Keep a survey you already have for questions about the land’s edges.
List known water, well, septic and power service. Save reports you have and say what has not been checked. Include leases, crop or timber agreements and a list of items included in the price. Ask the proper local office before promising a new use.
Look for completed land sales with similar access, usable ground, services and known limits. Then compare acres. A small lot with water service may be a poor match for a larger tract without it.
Save each sale date and the main differences. Keep asking prices and tax values separate from completed sales. Ask a land agent or appraiser to explain a range if there are few good matches.
An agent can help with pricing, ads, calls, visits and offers. Ask about land experience, fees and the listing term. Selling yourself means taking on those tasks and keeping track of buyer questions.
A direct buyer is another route. Ask what it still needs to check and which costs you pay. Reelvest can review your land if you share the details. Compare any offer with your other choices. Our Georgia seller guide offers more help.
Check the parcel list, price, deposit, seller costs, review period and target date. Ask what lets the buyer cancel or seek a change. Make sure leases and included items are addressed in writing.
Ask the closing team to estimate what you would keep after taxes, loans and fees. Check which figures may change. Our offer worksheet helps put terms side by side.
Mention other owners, an old loan or a name change early. Ask who handles the closing and what papers it needs. Keep a short list of open tasks and who will handle each one.
If you are handling inherited land or helping settle a loved one’s estate, ask which papers and signatures are needed. Start with what you have and use our document checklist to track the next step. Confirm how payment will arrive before relying on the date.
