If you’ve searched online, worked with an agent, and driven the neighborhoods, and you still haven’t found your dream lot for sale, you may need to take a more aggressive approach. If you find any piece of land you like, contact the owner and make an offer! It doesn’t matter that it isn’t listed for sale right now. Remember: Everything is for sale; it’s only a matter of price. Information on who owns any piece of land is part of the county public record. Through a real-estate agent, mortgage broker, or title company, you can request the address and phone number of the owner of any piece of land. If your real-estate agent is managing your part of the transaction for a commission, they should be thrilled to help you with the negotiations and the closing process.

If you’re willing to look at many pieces of land, you can take the shotgun approach. Have your agent get you a mailing list of all the lot owners in the area and send them all personal letters explaining your burning desire to own property and build in the neighborhood. Perhaps someone will consider selling their property and, if not, they may know someone in the neighborhood who will.
