Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about selling your Missouri land? You're not alone. Here are the answers we hear most often.
General Questions
What does American Land Group do?
American Land Group is a Missouri-based land company that helps landowners sell vacant and rural property. We offer two paths depending on your situation — a fast, hassle-free cash purchase or a full brokerage listing to maximize your sale price. We're the only Missouri land company that gives you both options under one roof.
Who do you work with?
We work exclusively with Missouri landowners who are ready to sell vacant, rural, or undeveloped property. Whether you inherited land, own acreage you no longer use, or simply want to move on — we're here to help figure out the best path forward.
Are you local to Missouri?
Yes — American Land Group is based in Missouri and we focus exclusively on Missouri land. You work directly with John Auble, the owner, who was born and raised here and knows the local market, the counties, and the land values firsthand.
Cash Offer Questions
Do you buy land in Missouri?
Yes — we purchase vacant and rural land directly from landowners across Missouri. We make cash offers with no agent fees, no commissions, and no obligation. If you have land you're looking to sell, reach out and we'll give you a fair offer quickly.
What types of land do you buy?
We purchase all types of Missouri land in any condition — agricultural land, recreational acreage, timber tracts, hunting ground, infill lots, vacant parcels, inherited property, and land with back taxes or title complications. If you're unsure whether your property qualifies, reach out anyway. We'll give you an honest answer either way.
How fast can you close?
For cash purchases, most closings happen in 4–6 weeks depending on title work and your timeline. We work around your schedule and can accommodate faster closings if needed.
How quickly will I receive an offer?
We research your property and respond within 24–48 hours — either with a fair cash offer or an honest answer if it isn't the right fit for us. No runaround.
Do you charge commissions or fees?
On our direct cash purchases there are no commissions or seller fees. We cover closing costs, back taxes, and HOA fees as part of our offer. The number we agree on is the number you receive — no surprises at the closing table.
What if my land has back taxes, title issues, or HOA fees?
Bring it to us anyway. We have experience navigating complicated situations and can often work through issues that other buyers walk away from. We cover back taxes, HOA fees, and closing costs as part of our cash offer.
Do I have to accept the offer?
Never. There is absolutely no obligation to accept and no pressure from us. We make an offer, you decide what's right for you.
Brokerage & Listing Questions
What's the difference between a cash offer and listing my land?
A cash offer means we buy your land directly — fast close, no hassle, no fees, but typically below full market value. A brokerage listing means we market your property to qualified buyers to capture full market value, which takes longer but often results in a higher net. American Land Group offers both options so you can choose what fits your situation best.
Are you a licensed real estate agent?
Yes — John Auble is a licensed Missouri real estate agent affiliated with National Land Realty. When you list your property with ALG you're working with a licensed professional who specializes exclusively in land.
Where will my property be listed?
We market your listing across the top land platforms in Missouri, reaching qualified buyers who are actively searching for land like yours. Every listing includes aerial photography and detailed property information to attract serious buyers.
How do you handle offers on a listed property?
As your licensed agent, we present all offers to you clearly and walk you through every detail so you can make a confident, informed decision. You're always in control — we're in your corner to guide and advise throughout the process.
Working With ALG
What if my property doesn't fit your criteria?
We'll tell you honestly and quickly — within 24–48 hours. If a cash purchase isn't the right fit, we may be able to discuss listing your property on the open market instead.
How do I get started?
It's simple — fill out a short form on our Sell Your Land or List Your Land page, or call and text John directly at (314) 302-8099. We'll take it from there.
What can I expect after I reach out?
You'll hear from John personally within 24–48 hours. From there we'll have a straightforward conversation about your property, your situation, and which path makes the most sense for you. No pressure, no obligation.
