What to Look For When Buying Land in Texas
If you’ve only bought houses before, land can feel like a whole new language. Here are some of the key items we’ll pay attention to when we walk properties:
Access & easements – how you legally get to the propertyWater – wells, ponds, creeks, and rainwater potentialSoils & topography – for building, grazing, and roadsUtilities – electric, water, and internet optionsFloodplain & drainage – what happens when it really rainsAg exemptions & taxes – current status and future optionsRestrictions & zoning – what you can and can’t do long term
You don’t have to be an expert in all of this—that’s why you hire one. I’ll help you understand both the benefits and the limitations of each property.
Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Land
How much land do I really need?
It depends on your goals. A few acres can be plenty for a homesite with some elbow room, while running cattle or serious hunting may require more. During our first call, we’ll talk through what you want to do so we don’t overshoot—or undershoot—your acreage.
Can I finance land, or do I have to pay cash?
Many buyers use farm and ranch lenders that specialize in land loans. I can point you toward lenders who regularly finance land in Central and South Texas so you can compare options and get pre-qualified.
Do I need to have a well and septic already in place?
Not necessarily. Some properties are raw land and some are more improved. We’ll look at what’s already in place and what it would cost to add a well, septic, or utilities so you understand the true cost of ownership.
Can you help if I don’t see what I want listed here?
Absolutely. Not every good property is obvious online. Tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll keep an eye out for new and upcoming opportunities that match your criteria.
