CMK Assets buys vacant and rural land directly from owners at a fair price built from real comparable sales, then closes through a licensed, independent title company — start to finish, no pressure and nothing hidden.
Property taxes, distance, inherited parcels, or land that just doesn't fit your plans anymore — we make a straightforward, no-obligation offer and handle the paperwork.
We source vacant land under contract at prices that leave room to build, hold, or resell. Join the list to see new parcels before they're gone.
My name is Chad Stratton, and I'm the founder of CMK Assets. If someone from our company has reached out about your land, I know that can feel unsettling — you may be wondering who's on the other end of that letter or call, and whether an offer like this is even legitimate.
Before I ever bought a piece of land, I spent two decades in the mortgage industry — as a loan originator, an underwriter, a wholesale account executive, and eventually a Divisional Sales Manager. I sat on nearly every side of a real estate transaction there is. Alongside that career, I've also been a hands-on real estate investor and property owner, managing a portfolio of rental properties across a range of property types.
I started CMK Assets to bring that same standard to vacant land: a fair, well-researched offer; a transaction structured the right way; and a closing that happens exactly the way I said it would, handled by a licensed title company from start to finish.
There are no hidden stages here, and nothing that happens without your knowledge.
Every offer is based on recent comparable land sales in your immediate area — not a lowball starting point. Because we buy with cash and as-is, there's no appraisal contingency and nothing for you to fix beforehand.
If you accept, we send a simple one-page agreement stating the price, timeline, and terms — nothing buried in fine print. It includes a due-diligence period and standard assignability language, both explained plainly in the FAQ below.
Over a couple of weeks, we confirm the title is clear and verify property details. If a real issue turns up, you're told right away and owe nothing — free to sell elsewhere or keep the property.
Closing is handled entirely by an independent, licensed title company — not by us. They confirm clear title and hold funds in escrow. You don't sign anything final until your payment is already secured with them.
Once signed and closed, the title company disburses your funds by wire or check — typically a few weeks from signed agreement to money in hand. No commissions, no closing costs.
| Factor | Selling to CMK Assets | Listing With an Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Time to close | Typically a few weeks from signed agreement | Vacant land often sits on the market for months, sometimes longer |
| Commissions | None | Typically a percentage of sale price, split between agents |
| Closing costs | Covered as part of the offer | Customarily paid in part by the seller |
| Certainty | Cash offer, no financing to fall through | Buyer financing or a change of heart can delay or kill a deal |
| Ongoing costs | None while you wait | Property taxes and holding costs continue to accrue |
| Effort required | Sign one agreement; the title company handles the rest | Listing paperwork, showings, ongoing agent communication |
Neither path is automatically right for every owner. What we offer is certainty and speed at a fair price, with none of the carrying costs or commissions along the way.

The way to verify any buyer is to insist that closing happen through a licensed, independent title company — never wire money or sign a deed directly to an individual. With CMK Assets, that's exactly how every transaction is handled: the title company holds the funds and confirms clear title before anything is final, and you don't sign away the property until your payment is secured with them.
A cash offer for a fast, as-is, direct sale will generally be below what a patient owner might eventually get by listing and waiting for a retail buyer. In exchange, you avoid months of uncertainty, commissions, closing costs, and ongoing carrying costs. Every offer is built from actual comparable sales in your area, and we're always happy to walk you through exactly how we arrived at the number.
An assignable contract simply means the agreement can be transferred to another buyer before closing, at the same price and terms you agreed to. It's a standard, legal feature of real estate contracts that lets us work with a network of buyers so your property closes reliably — it never changes what you're paid or when.
The purchase agreement includes a due-diligence period specifically for this. During that window, either side can step back with no penalty and no cost to you. Outside that window, we're both committed to the agreed terms — the same as any real estate contract.
No. The price we agree on is the price you receive. There are no commissions and no closing costs deducted from your payment.
We research vacant land ownership records in areas where we're actively looking to purchase property. If you received an offer, it's because your land matched what we're specifically looking to buy in your area — not a mass mailing sent without any research behind it.
You're always welcome to have an attorney review the agreement or represent you at closing if that would make you more comfortable — that's entirely your right. Many owners don't feel the need to, given that an independent title company is already handling and verifying the transaction, but the choice is yours.
