What We Buy in Ellis County

• Mobile-home-friendly lots — tracts in unincorporated Ellis County where a manufactured home can actually be placed. This is a large part of what we do, and we pay accordingly.
• Larger tracts in the I-35E and I-45 development corridors — acreage around Waxahachie, Midlothian, and Ennis that residential and industrial developers are actively assembling
• 0.5 to 50 acres, typically $15,000 to $400,000
• Blackland prairie farmland and former row-crop acreage
• Pasture and hay ground
• Raw, cleared, or lightly wooded tracts
• Parcels with an old mobile home, barn, or outbuilding on them — we handle removal
• Landlocked tracts with no recorded easement
• Land with delinquent property taxes
• Inherited land, including estates that were never probated

Ellis County Land Situations We Handle

You live out of state. You inherited or bought Ellis County land years ago and have never set foot on it. You are paying taxes on something you cannot see, cannot mow, and cannot sell from a thousand miles away. We handle everything remotely — you sign with a mobile notary wherever you live.

You inherited farmland that has been in the family for generations. Ellis County blackland was some of the most productive cotton ground in Texas, and a lot of it passed down without a will. Three generations later there are several heirs in different states. In Texas, an affidavit of heirship signed by two disinterested witnesses is often enough for a title company to insure the sale.

Developers and land agents have been calling and you do not know what it is worth. Growth pushing south out of Dallas along I-35E has made Ellis County one of the most actively worked land markets in North Texas. Getting a written number from a direct buyer costs you nothing and tells you whether the calls you are getting are serious.

You are behind on property taxes. You do not have to pay them off first. Delinquent taxes come out of the sale proceeds at closing — you never come out of pocket. If the county has filed a lien or started foreclosure, selling quickly is usually the best way to protect what equity is left.

Your listing expired without selling. Raw land is harder to finance than a house, which shrinks the buyer pool and stretches days-on-market well past what most sellers expect. If your listing has expired or been cancelled and you are not under contract with anyone, we will make you an offer.

What Ellis County Land Is Actually Worth

There is no single price per acre. Here is what actually moves the number in this county:

• Position along I-35E or I-45. Frontage and proximity to an interchange changes the buyer pool entirely, from residential to industrial and logistics.
• Road frontage and access. FM-road or county-road frontage is worth substantially more than a landlocked interior tract.
• Whether a manufactured home can go on it. Deed restrictions, city ETJ, and floodplain all decide this — and it is one of the first things we check.
• City ETJ and annexation exposure. A tract inside Waxahachie, Midlothian, Ennis, or Red Oak extraterritorial jurisdiction faces different platting and utility rules than one in the open county.
• Blackland prairie soils. Ellis County clay has high shrink-swell, which affects septic design and foundation cost. It does not stop a sale, but it changes the number.
• Utilities and water district. Which rural water supply corporation serves the tract, and whether a meter is already set, can swing value considerably.
• Ag or wildlife valuation status. Whether the tract carries an ag exemption, and whether a buyer can keep it, affects carrying cost and therefore price.
• Mineral rights. If a prior owner severed them, you are selling surface only.

We pull the Ellis CAD record, the deed, the plat, and recent comparable sales in your specific part of the county before we quote you a number. We show you the comps we used.

How Our Offer Works

1. Tell us where the land is. County and nearest town is enough. No address needed.
2. We research it. Ellis CAD records, deed history, plat, floodplain, access, and recent sales nearby. You do nothing.
3. Written offer within 48 hours. A real number, in writing, with the comps behind it. No obligation and no cost.
4. You pick the closing date. We close through a title company with a mobile notary. Typically 7 to 21 days, but if you need 90, that is fine too.

Our offers are net offers. We pay all closing costs. There are no commissions and no fees. The number on the offer is the number you take home.

Ellis County Land FAQ

Do you buy farmland in Ellis County?

Yes. We buy former row-crop ground, pasture, and hay meadow throughout the county, whether or not it is currently being farmed or leased.

Can I sell inherited Ellis County farmland that was never probated?

Usually yes. An affidavit of heirship signed by two disinterested witnesses who knew the deceased is often sufficient for a title company to insure the transaction. If there are multiple heirs, all of them generally need to sign, and we will help you work out who that is.

What happens to my ag exemption when I sell?

That depends on what the buyer does with the land. It matters to your offer because it affects a buyer carrying cost, so we account for it openly rather than springing it on you at closing.

Can I sell land in Ellis County if I owe back taxes?

Yes. You do not need to pay them first. Delinquent taxes are paid from the proceeds at closing, so you never come out of pocket.

Do I need a survey before you will make an offer?

No. We work from the existing plat, deed description, and Ellis CAD records. If the title company requires a new survey to close, we coordinate and pay for it.

How long does it take to get paid?

Written offer within 48 hours of hearing from you. If you accept, closing typically happens in 7 to 21 days, on whatever date you choose.
