★ Offers & Pricing

Offers, Pricing & What We Pay

How we arrive at a number and what you actually walk away with.

How fast can I get an offer? ▾
Within 24 hours of submitting your address — often the same day. Complex parcels with title or access questions can take a little longer, but we'll tell you upfront.
How do you decide what to offer? ▾
We pull comparable sales from the county property appraiser, check zoning, flood zones, wetlands, utilities, and buildability, then base our offer on what the lot is actually worth to a builder. Because we build homes on these lots, our numbers reflect real construction value — not a lowball flip price.
Are there any fees or commissions? ▾
None. No realtor commission, no inspection fees, no admin or "doc prep" fees. The offer we make is the money you receive — and we pay all standard closing costs on top of it.
Do I have to accept your offer? ▾
No. The offer is free and non-binding. Most owners get 2–3 opinions before deciding and we respect that. If another buyer comes in higher, take it.
Will you really pay cash, or is this owner financing? ▾
Real cash. Our offers don't depend on a lender, appraisal, or loan conditions. When we sign the purchase agreement, we close and wire your funds — no financing contingencies.

★ Process & Closing

The Process & Closing

What happens from first contact to cash in hand.

What information do you need from me to start? ▾
Just your property address to begin. On the next step we'll ask for your contact info and, optionally, the parcel ID or any details you have. Everything else we research ourselves.
How long does closing take? ▾
Typically 14–30 days, but we can go as fast as 10 days if title is clean, or as slow as 90 days if you need time for tax planning or a 1031 exchange. You pick the date.
Do I need a survey or environmental report? ▾
No. We handle all due diligence on our end — survey, title search, zoning review, environmental pull, flood determination. You don't spend a dollar out of pocket.
Where does the closing happen? ▾
Through a licensed Florida title company or real estate attorney. If you're out of state or prefer not to travel, we arrange a remote/mail-away closing so you can sign from home and have funds wired to your account.
Is there any obligation when I submit my address? ▾
None at all. Submitting your address just starts the offer process. There's no cost, no commitment, and no pressure — if our number isn't right for you, walk away.

★ What We Buy

What We Buy & Property Conditions

The kinds of lots and situations we handle every week.

What kind of land do you buy? ▾
Vacant residential lots, infill parcels, acreage, and buildable land across 16 Central Florida counties. Whether it's a single city lot or several acres, if it's vacant land in our footprint, we want to look at it.
Do I need to clean up or clear the lot first? ▾
No. We buy as-is. Trees, overgrowth, debris, old structures — we handle all of it on our end. Don't spend a dollar getting it "ready."
Will you buy land with wetlands or in a flood zone? ▾
Often, yes. Wetlands, flood zones, odd shapes, and access challenges don't automatically disqualify a lot — they just factor into the offer. Submit it and let us assess.
What if my lot has a lien or back taxes? ▾
Not a problem. We buy lots with title issues, unpaid taxes, HOA arrears, and old code enforcement liens all the time. Tell us upfront so our title team can plan the payoffs — most issues clear at closing from the proceeds.

★ Special Situations

Inherited, Out-of-State & Special Situations

We close these all the time — here's how they work.

I inherited land I don't want. Can you buy it? ▾
Yes — inherited lots are one of the most common things we buy. We can work through probate, multiple heirs, and out-of-state ownership. See our inherited land page for details, or just submit the address and we'll guide you.
The property is still in probate. Is that a problem? ▾
Not necessarily. We can often start the offer and paperwork while probate is finishing so you're ready to close the moment the estate clears. Our title team coordinates with your attorney or personal representative.
There are several heirs / owners. How does that work? ▾
Common and manageable. As long as the owners agree to sell, the title company gathers signatures from each party — including remote ones — and disburses proceeds according to your wishes. One person can usually coordinate on the family's behalf.
I live out of state. Do I have to travel to sell? ▾
No. The vast majority of our sellers never set foot in Florida for the sale. We handle everything remotely — documents are sent electronically or by mail, and your funds are wired to you at closing.
What if I don't have the deed or paperwork? ▾
That's fine. As long as you're the rightful owner, the title company can pull the recorded deed and confirm ownership through county records. You don't need to have the original documents in hand.

★ About Brightview

About Brightview Homes

Who you're actually dealing with.

Who is Brightview Homes? ▾
We're a Central Florida home builder (license CRC1334100) that buys vacant land and builds homes on it. We're not a wholesaler tying up your contract to flip it — we close on the lots we offer on and put real construction on them.
Why sell to a builder instead of listing with an agent? ▾
Listing vacant land can take months, costs 6% in commissions, and often falls through on financing. Selling to us means a fast cash close, no fees, no showings, and a buyer who actually understands lot value. See how it works.
What areas do you buy in? ▾
16 counties across Central Florida, including Orange, Seminole, Volusia, Brevard, Lake, Osceola, Polk, Marion, Pasco, Hillsborough, Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, Manatee, Duval, and Flagler. Not sure if your lot qualifies? Submit it and we'll tell you.
How do I reach a real person? ▾
Call or text us at (321) 316-6754, or enter your address and we'll reach out within 24 hours. You'll talk to our actual team — not a call center.
