A word from Dave

You're not just selling land.
You're trusting someone with it.

Does any of
this sound
familiar?

Most people who reach out to us have been sitting on their land for years — not because they don't want to sell, but because something has felt uncertain, complicated, or unresolved. We've heard it all. And we've handled it all.

👋
Dave's promise We reach an agreement first — then my team works through whatever legal or logistical issue is standing in the way. You don't have to figure it out before calling us.
⚖️
Estate & Probate
Not sure if probate is even necessary?
You inherited the land but you're not certain the title ever transferred properly into your name. Or you've heard the word "probate" and don't know if it applies to you.
We work with a licensed attorney to determine what's needed and handle it — at no cost to you.
🗺️
Missing Heirs
A long-lost relative needs to sign off?
Someone is on the deed who you haven't spoken to in years — or don't know how to reach. You assumed this made the property unsellable.
Locating and coordinating with missing heirs is something our title team does regularly. It's solvable.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Multiple Owners
Multiple family members — all in different states?
You co-own the land with siblings or other relatives. Everyone agrees in principle but coordinating signatures across states feels overwhelming.
We handle remote closings all the time. Notarization, overnight documents, e-signatures — we coordinate the whole thing.
⛏️
Mineral & Water Rights
Not sure what rights you actually own?
Some landowners discover their deed doesn't include mineral or water rights — or that an easement runs through the property. It feels like a deal-killer.
We evaluate what you actually own and price accordingly. Partial rights are fine — we've bought them before.
🏚️
Property Condition
Old structures, junk cars, or a mess on the land?
There's a derelict building, abandoned vehicles, or years of accumulated debris. You assumed you'd have to clean it up before anyone would buy it.
We've cleared properties that looked like junkyards. Don't spend a dollar on cleanup before calling us.
📋
Back Taxes & Liens
Years of unpaid property taxes — or a lien on the title?
The taxes have piled up and you're not sure you can sell without paying them first. Or there's a lien you don't fully understand attached to the parcel.
Back taxes and liens are among the most common issues we encounter. In many cases they're resolved at closing from sale proceeds.
🚧
No Legal Access
Landlocked property with no road access?
You've been told the land is worthless because there's no legal right-of-way to a public road. Maybe a neighbor's property surrounds it completely. Most buyers — and most agents — won't touch it.
We've purchased landlocked parcels with zero legal access. If you own it, we'll talk — don't assume it's unsellable before calling us.
💰
Capital Gains Concern
Worried a lump-sum sale means a big tax hit?
A large one-time payout sounds good until you think about capital gains. Some sellers would rather have steady monthly income than hand a chunk to the IRS all at once — and a traditional cash sale forces exactly that.
We can structure a seller-financed sale — you receive monthly payments with interest, spread the tax burden over time, and often get a higher total price. Ask Dave about it.
✈️
Out-of-State Seller
Think you have to travel to where the land is to sell it?
You inherited land in another state and assumed you'd need to fly there, hire a local attorney, and navigate an unfamiliar process. It's felt like more trouble than it's worth.
You never have to leave your home. Our attorney handles all documents and notarial services wherever you live — closing happens entirely by mail or electronically.

Straight from Dave
"We are real estate investors — not agents. We buy below full retail value. In exchange: no commissions, we cover all closing costs, and you work directly with me from first call through closing. If top-dollar retail value is your priority and you have time to wait, a land-specialized agent may be the better fit. Either path is valid — and if you want help comparing offers, even if one isn't from us, I'm happy to walk through it. No pressure. No obligation."

Worth knowing
There's a third option: seller financing
If a lump-sum cash payment would create a significant capital gains tax burden, we can structure a seller-financed sale instead. You receive monthly payments with interest over time — spreading your tax liability across multiple years, often netting you more in total, and giving you steady recurring income rather than one large taxable event. Your loan is secured by a first-position lien on the property.

Why she chose Dave · 4 min

"My experience with David and Del-Val was completely positive and pleasurable. From my first phone conversation, David stood out amongst the many people inquiring about the land — diligent, reasonable, and enthusiastic. Whenever an unexpected issue arose, David made sure it was resolved quickly. There was an active timber lease on the property that needed to be terminated before closing, but David and his team got it done in just a couple of days. He operates with the utmost professionalism but is also extremely personable. I am confident he will do right by land that has been in my family for years."

Before You Sign Anything — Read This First

Not every cash offer is created equal. We put together five plain-language questions every seller should ask — including questions you should ask us.

  • Is there real earnest money — held by a neutral party?
  • Can the buyer assign your contract to someone else?
  • How long will closing actually take — and why?
  • Will the buyer stand behind their price, or renegotiate later?
  • Are all terms spelled out clearly in writing?

We'll send the full breakdown — with our own answers — straight to your inbox.

Answers Before You Decide

No pressure. No obligation. Just straight answers.

None whatsoever. There is no cost or obligation. You are free to review the offer, ask questions, or simply decline — it's entirely up to you, at any point.

No. We cover all standard closing costs — title, escrow, and related fees. The number in your offer is what you receive at closing. No deductions, no surprises.

Just call or text us. We'll confirm a few basic details about the property. If everything checks out, we move forward using a licensed title company or real estate attorney — they handle the paperwork and hold your funds in escrow throughout the process.

We close as soon as title work allows — many transactions wrap up within a few weeks. The timeline is ultimately shaped by the title process and your preferences. We always aim to close on or before whatever date we agree on together.

Del-Val Homebuyers is a family-owned company that purchases vacant land nationwide. We focus on transparency, straightforward communication, and making the process simple and stress-free — whether you decide to sell or not.

All types of vacant land — residential, agricultural, rural, recreational, and undeveloped parcels, large or small, anywhere in the U.S. If you're not sure whether yours qualifies, just call us and we'll tell you honestly.

We look at recent land sales in the area, current market conditions, property characteristics, road access, zoning, and development potential. If you believe we missed something important about your property, we're always willing to take another look.

Not a problem. These situations come up regularly with vacant land — multiple owners, missing heirs, old liens, timber leases, you name it. We work with experienced title professionals who know how to identify and resolve issues so the process can keep moving.

Yes — we've helped landowners across the country sell confidently and quickly. You can hear directly from sellers who've been through the process by watching their testimonial videos above, or visiting our YouTube channel.

Call or text us at 215-714-1440, or email dave@delvalhomebuyers.com anytime. We're happy to answer questions — even if you're just exploring your options and aren't ready to decide.

Not in the way most people think. What protects you in a real estate transaction isn't the buyer's zip code — it's who handles your paperwork and your money. Every Del-Val closing is managed by a licensed title company or real estate attorney in your state. They are local. They hold your funds in secure escrow throughout the process. Dave operates virtually from Pennsylvania, but has trusted closing partners in markets across the country. In a post-Covid world, the best professionals work across state lines every day — and your transaction is no less protected for it.

Wholesaling is a practice where a buyer puts a property under contract and then assigns that contract to a third-party end buyer — often someone you've never met — before closing. The original "buyer" may never actually purchase your land. Instead, they collect a fee for finding you and passing your deal along.

Del-Val Homebuyers is not a wholesaler. Our company, Small Axe Capital LLC, takes title in every transaction we complete. The entity that signs your purchase agreement is the entity that appears on the deed at settlement — no exceptions. If you ever see the phrase "and/or assigns" in an offer you receive from any buyer, ask who the end buyer actually is before signing anything.
