ExpressLandOffers
Our Story
It all started with lots of frustration and a vision for a better property selling experience.
Hi my name is Dominik and I’m the founder of ExpressLandOffers. Back in 2016 I was very frustrated with the process of selling a piece of land in Florida I had just inherited. I needed the money and I wanted to sell this piece of land fast. I thought I could just put the property on one of those online platforms and it would sell within a couple of weeks, as houses in the area do. I was totally wrong!
At that time I was a product designer at a Silicon Valley based company and I had no clue about the real estate business in general and I certainly had no idea of the difficulties one is going to face when trying to sell a piece of raw land fast. It took 11 months to sell that property and I had to deal with 37 “interested” buyers. And the property was priced below average market value!
I can remember the day I got the signed contract in the mail as if it were yesterday. The same evening I was so happy that I could get rid of this unused property and at the same time I started thinking about my frustrating experience. Out of that, the idea for ExpressLandOffers was born. I reasearched the internet and found that there are many people like me who are struggling with selling vacant land. I learned that it’s a completely different market than the housing market. The buyers of vacant land are very different than the typical retail home buyers, e.g. there are developers who buy vacant land in order to develop a single parcel or a whole subdivision.
I thought I could just put the property on one of those online platforms and it would sell within a couple of weeks. I was totally wrong!
For a while I was moving along with my normal life. But from time to time I was thinking “Why is selling vacant land such a complicated task?”. I mean we have Amazon, Uber, AirBnB, etc. which make our lives so much easier. Why isn’t there something similar for selling vacant land?
Over time I learned that there are tenth of thousands of people who really want to get rid of some undeveloped property, but they don’t find a buyer and at the end let their property go into foreclosure. “That’s not the way this should work” I thought. There must be a better way to help these people and there also must be a way to build a business around that. I gained a deep understanding of the challenges people face trying to sell their land. I found that even successful sellers were overwhelmed by the stress of selling – trying to guess what their raw land would sell for, prepping for showings, negotiating a deal, finding an attorney or title company, and waiting for the closing. Why wasn’t there a better way?
In August 2017 I founded ExpressLandOffers to address the needs of the tenth of thousands of people who are looking to sell there vacant land properties hassle-free, fast and for cash. I buy these properties with my company’s cash funds and sell them to vacant land buyers sometime in the future for a premium.
My company grew rapidly over the previous years, but I’m proud that we still have the “family business” kind of spirit and that we provide a real benefit to our customers – day in and day out.
If you’re considering selling your unwanted vacant, bare, and/or raw land, I would be happy to make you an offer.
Sincerely
Dominik Prause

We founded ExpressLandOffers as a way to help landowners sell their unwanted vacant, bare, and/or raw land.

However, we are interested in all types of land; rural, suburban and even commercial… we will make an offer on almost any lot, helping you to get the cash you need for other investments.
We started ExpressLandOffers in Miami, where our main office still is today. However, after we recognized that our service may be useful in other states too, we now provide our service nationwide. The Land Buying Specialists in our team cover different States/Areas and know the markets very well. When working with you, we make sure that the Land Buying Specialist knowing your area best is working with you. Additionally we work with strategic local partners and contractors to make sure we don’t miss a thing and the property is put to its best use.
