FAQ
What is the purchase process?

What do you specialize in?
Vacant land and zoning. This is actually the most important part of buying land, and people rarely think of it!
This means we are able to find you land that can be used for building homes and cabins, camping, parking RVs, fishing, hunting, boating, and much more!
Although we do research zoning on the properties we sell, we may not always be 100% correct, which is why we highly recommend consulting with the local officials or attorney specialized in zoning or real estate.
How do I know if this is a safe way to purchase property?
We strive to do things the right way, all the time. Also, to make you more comfortable, we can use a reputable title company of your choosing.
Can you help me look for a specific kind of property?
Feedback on what you're looking for is always welcome. However, Wide Open Texas is not a brokerage. If you want to be represented as a buyer, we can refer you to an agent who is well-versed in the type of property you seek.
Are there any hidden fees when buying land from you?
Nope! The prices we charge are listed on our site with no hidden fees from us.
Typical closing costs are:
County recording fee (usually ~$46)
Optional: Title company or attorney fees if you request one.
For financing, credit card payments may include a processing fee, but we offer fee-free options too!
How do I buy a property?
To make a purchase, hit the buy now button on the property you wish to purchase. You can also submit a contact form, text or call and leave a message with your name, property you are interested in buying, and the type of payment you will be providing. We will contact you asap to close.
Is financing available?
Yes! All properties are available for contract for deeds or seller financing. The terms will be different for each piece of land so it is best to check out the description of the property or else contact us for more info. The terms can also able to be modified to fit your situation such as a higher/lower down payment, monthly payment or time length.
How do I get the final deed?
Once all payments are made on a property we will prepare a deed to be recorded. We will record it for you unless otherwise requested. This means there is no extra cost for you at closing unless you request to use a title company, real estate attorney or a unique situation occurs.
What is a contract for deed?
A contract for deed is also called owner financing or a land contract. This is where the seller (us) provides the financing for a property instead of a different lender. Learn more here.
What are the payment options for financing?
The following are the current options which we accept payments for financing, however if another option works better for you, we will try to accommodate.
Payment Options:
1. Check, cashiers check, money order.
2. Zelle: Recommended: Great for setting up recurring payments with no fees.
3. Cash App: Easy to use with no fees.
4. Apple Cash: Easy to use with an iPhone, connected to your phone number.
5. Credit Card: Quick and easy but with a 5% fee.
Do you offer buyer's Agent Commission?
Usually, the answer is yes. Please contact us to confirm, depending on the property.
How long does it take to close?
WE HAVE SAME DAY CLOSING. If closing through us, the contract for deed, or deed to the property, can be prepped and closed the same day. If using a title company it generally takes about 2-4 weeks.
