For land owners
We’ll buy your lot.
Usually for more than the postcard people.
South Acre buys land for our own account along the Carolina coast, from Wilmington down to Charleston. We don't need to lowball you and flip it, because we make our money building on what we buy, not skimming your discount. A fair cash price now, plus a bonus if you want the upside. Not ready to sell? Start with the free Land Report and see the number.

A real cash price, plus upside.
Our standard offer is a fair price, paid in cash at closing. On top of that, we write a bonus into the contract, keyed to the recorded sale price of the home we build on your land. If we do well, you do well, and the number that decides it is a public county record you can check yourself.
Want it simple? Take the cash.
One price, paid at closing, no waiting on a bonus. Best when you want it done and don't want to wonder whether you left money on the table. We're not lowballing to begin with.
Chasing full retail? We can structure that too.
If your number is genuinely top-of-market, we can often still get there by paying it over time instead of all at once, secured by a recorded mortgage on the land itself, payments and a payoff date in plain English. Ask about it when we talk; it's not for everyone, and that's fine.
A fair warning about the mail you get
You've gotten the “WE BUY LAND, CA$H” letters.
This isn't that.
How the postcard people work
They offer 40 to 60 cents on the dollar, count on you not knowing the real number, and pressure you to sign fast. Their profit is your discount.
How we work
We buy for our own account and put homes on the land, so we can pay for what dirt is really capable of, not what a flipper can skim. The upside goes in the contract, the payoff number sits in the public record, and nobody gets rushed. Our team also runs Rendr Media, marketing new communities for builders across the Carolinas, so we see what gets built and what it sells for every week.
The Land Report
What you'll see
in your report.
An aerial view with your exact recorded boundaries, acreage in surveyor's terms, and road frontage from county records.
Grounded in what land near you actually sold for. An informational summary of public records and recent sales, not an appraisal.
Active builders and new communities around your parcel, the demand that quietly sets your land's worth.
Hold it, or sell it for a real price, honestly laid out, including the do-nothing math.

Fair questions
Asked and answered.
- Do I have to sell?
- No. Most owners just want to know what they're sitting on. The report is yours either way.
- How does the bonus work?
- A base price is paid at closing, and the bonus is written into the contract, keyed to the recorded sale price of the home we build. Recorded prices are public county records, so you can verify the number yourself.
- Can I get my full asking price?
- Often, yes, if we pay it over time instead of all at once. You hold a recorded mortgage on the land until it's paid, the same protection a bank gets. Payments, payoff date, everything in plain English before you sign. Not for everyone, but it's on the table.
- Are you the “we buy land, cash” people?
- We buy land, but not like that. Lowballing is a business model; it isn't ours. The upside goes in writing, and if you want full price, we talk terms.
