We get asked this all the time: "Who actually buys land in Florida?" And honestly, it’s a fair question.
Whether it’s a quarter-acre lot in Lehigh Acres or a sprawling 5-acre piece out in Marion County, landowners often wonder if there’s a buyer out there for their property.
Here’s the truth — and yes, we’re starting with us.
We Buy Land Too (Yep, That’s Us)
At UNITY, we’re not just helping people figure out how to sell — we buy land in Florida every single week.
Sometimes we’re the buyer. Other times we’re connecting your property with the right one — whether it’s a builder, an investor, or someone who just wants a quiet place to retire.
We’ve closed over 9,000 land deals, and honestly? We’ve seen it all. Lots with overgrown brush, inherited properties tangled in paperwork, even parcels people forgot they owned until the tax bill showed up.
So if you're sitting on land you’re not using, and you’ve been wondering “Would anyone even want this?” — the answer is probably yes. And it might just be us.
The Locals Who Want a Fresh Start
You know, the folks who’ve been renting in Orlando or Fort Lauderdale for years and are finally ready to build their own little piece of paradise. Maybe it’s a modular home on the edge of town or a family cabin out by the woods — they want peace, space, and no HOA letters on their door.
These buyers are smart. They’re looking for affordability, and they don’t mind rolling up their sleeves to turn raw land into something special.
The Out-of-State Investors (Yep, They’re Back)
Then you’ve got the out-of-towners — mostly from New York, New Jersey, or even California. Some of them are just tired of city life. Others are thinking, “Buy now, build later — before prices spike again.”
They’ve heard Florida’s still got land deals left — especially compared to what they’d pay back home. These buyers are watching growth trends, eyeing future highways, and asking about zoning like they’re planning to flip it to a developer in five years. (And hey, some are.)
Builders, Flippers, and Developer Types
Okay, now let’s talk about the pros.
Land buyers aren’t just sweet families and investors on YouTube. Some are builders who know exactly what they’re doing. They buy five lots in one zip code, clear them, hook up utilities, and pop up homes for rent or sale.
They’re not sentimental. They’re not guessing. They’re running spreadsheets.
And trust us, if you’ve got a flat lot near city water, even better if it’s already cleared? These folks are very interested. (Some will even buy sight unseen — just based on aerials and GIS maps.)
The Neighbor Next Door
You’d be surprised how often your neighbor might want your lot.
Seriously. Maybe they want more privacy. Maybe they’re tired of brush fires creeping over in dry season. Or maybe they’re quietly collecting land to build something bigger later on.
This type of buyer usually moves fast. No fancy financing — just a quick close if the price is fair. Sometimes all it takes is a conversation.

FAQ: Florida Land Buyers Edition
Q: Will UNITY buy my land directly?
A: Yes, we purchase land directly all the time. If the lot fits our criteria, we can make an offer — no listing or marketing needed.
Q: Do I need to clean or prep the land?
A: Nope. You don’t need to clean or list your land. We handle the due diligence — just know environmental or title issues may impact the final offer.

A: Absolutely. Most of our sellers are remote. We work with Florida-based title companies that can handle everything via mail or online.
