Wise Investments: Why Older Land Owners Should Prioritize Time Over Market Timing


As a fellow rural land owner from a long line of farmers, I understand the challenges and decisions you face when considering selling your land. One of the most important questions I try to answer is why older land owners should prioritize time over timing the market. This matters for your own quality of life, but for your loved ones as well.

Many older land owners feel pressured to wait for the "perfect" moment to sell, hoping to maximize their return on investment. Others may consider holding onto the land to pass it down to family members or even enlisting the help of a real estate agent. However, these options can lead to unnecessary stress and complications.



Trying to time the market can be a time-consuming and emotionally draining endeavor. Leaving the land to a spouse or children can place a significant burden on them, as they may face challenges such as managing the property, paying taxes, and navigating family dynamics. This added stress can take a toll on their well-being and relationships.

Moreover, working with a real estate agent may not be the best choice for older land owners at this time either. Traditional real estate agents often focus on residential properties and may lack the specialized knowledge and experience required to effectively market and sell rural land. This can result in longer listing periods, countless tours and negotiations, and a more complex process overall.

In contrast, a company like My Simple Land specializes in helping land owners in Virginia and surrounding states sell their land safely and quickly. Our white-glove service ensures that you receive a fair offer and a streamlined process, allowing you to focus on what matters most: enjoying your golden years and ensuring a stress-free future for your family.


I have seen dozens of families come to us without estate plans. There has been no concrete plans made about what to do with the land and, even worse, no discussion about the true value of the land. In this situation, your loved ones are left asking friends and family for a real estate agent recommendation and they end up working with someone who is inexperienced, unprofessional, and only looking at your land as a one-dimensional sale.


As someone who has been in your shoes, I know firsthand the emotional attachment we have to our land. It's not just a piece of property; it's a part of our heritage and our legacy. That's why it's so important to work with a company that understands and respects this connection while also providing a solution that benefits everyone involved.


At My Simple Land, we are the experts in rural land. We take the time to understand your unique situation and provide personalized solutions to meet your needs. Whether you're looking to sell quickly, ensure a smooth transition, or provide financial security for your loved ones, we're here to help.


It's true, like any high-quality service industry, you're going to leave money on the table working with us. However, the value comes from taking back your time. As you get older, money becomes less and less valuable and time becomes your best friend. Don't let the stress of trying to time the market, the worry of burdening your family, or the challenges of working with a traditional real estate agent consume your valuable time and energy. Instead, focus on finding a partner who will work tirelessly to make the selling process as easy and rewarding as possible.


If you're an older land owner in Virginia considering selling your land, I invite you to reach out to My Simple Land. Email us at Sales@MySimpleLand.com or give us a call at (540) 551-7655. Let us help you make the most of your time and ensure a bright, stress-free future for you and your family.


Remember, when it comes to selling your land, prioritize your own well-being and the well-being of those you love. Trust the experts at My Simple Land to handle the rest.
