1. Review the parcel and the example agreement
Start by reviewing the parcel record, asking-price status, and the example agreement so you understand the general structure before moving toward a parcel-specific contract.

A Plain-language guide
How a typical 9LOTS land purchase works
This page explains the general purchase process in plain language. It is not legal advice. Buyers should review the final agreement carefully and have their own attorney, title company, or other appropriate professional review the transaction before relying on it.
2. Ask questions and confirm the basics
If a parcel looks promising, reach out early. This is the time to confirm what is known, what is not known, and what diligence items matter most for your intended use.
3. Sign a parcel-specific purchase agreement
If you decide to move forward, buyer and seller sign an agreement covering the parcel, price, deposit, diligence window, title process, and closing timeline for that specific deal.
4. Send the deposit through the closing process
The deposit should go to the agreed closing attorney, title company, or escrow holder — not directly to the seller.
5. Use the diligence period carefully
Vacant land requires homework. Buyers should investigate access, utilities, zoning or land-use questions, site conditions, boundaries, and any other parcel-specific concerns that matter to their plans. Some parcels may be landlocked or may only make practical sense for an adjacent owner.
6. Review title and closing details
Title review matters. If there are objections the agreement allows you to raise, they need to be raised in time and handled through the closing process.
7. Prepare the rest of the funds
If you proceed after diligence and title review, the remaining balance needs to be ready in cleared funds before closing and recording.
8. Close and record
After closing and receipt of cleared funds, the deed is recorded and ownership transfers after recording.
Important practical points
- The land is generally sold as-is.
- Title review matters.
- Mineral or gas rights may be reserved or excluded.
- Access should be checked early. Some parcels may be landlocked or have limited practical access.
- The public-facing agreement is an example, not a final parcel-specific contract.
- Public GIS parcel boundaries are helpful reference material, not guaranteed survey boundaries.
