American Land Equity

About Us

About Us image
American Land Equity is a real estate investment group specializing in rural vacant land acquisition for over 10+ years. We focus on acquiring undeveloped land parcels for future use as large rural affordable homesites and recreation while preserving the natural beauty of a Country lifestyle.

What We Typically Look For
We target properties that align with sustainable rural development and long-term value retention. Key criteria include:
  • Buildable acreage with significant road frontage – Ensures easy access and homesite potential.
  • Properties that can pass a perc test for standard septic systems – Critical for off-grid or low-impact housing.
  • Flat or gently rolling topography – Ideal for construction, farming, or recreational use without excessive grading.
  • Proximity to growing rural communities – Within 1–2 hours of mid-sized cities for future demand.
  • No major environmental restrictions – Minimal wetlands, flood zones, or protected habitats.
  • Clear title and no liens – Streamlines the closing process.
  • No current land leases, structures or little restrictions
Benefits to Working with Us
Selling rural land can be stressful. We make it simple, fast, and hassle-free:
  • Cash-Funded Deals – No bank loans, appraisals, or financing contingencies.
  • Quick Closing 
  • As-Is Rural Purchases – No need to clear land, install utilities, survey boundaries, or make improvements.
  • Flexible Terms – We adapt to your timeline and situation.
  • Transparent Offers – Backed by real market data, never lowball guesses.
How Much Is Rural Land Worth?
Rural land value isn’t one-size-fits-all. We determine fair market value using a data-driven approach:

Factor Impact on Value



  • Location & Access
Paved road frontage > gravel > dirt; proximity to towns increases value
  • Zoning & Use Rights
Residential/agricultural zoning preferred; restrictions lower value
  • Topography & Soil
Buildable, perc-tested land commands premium
  • Utilities & Infrastructure
Nearby power required and public water a plus 
  • Sold Comps
Recent sales of similar size acreage comps within 10-mile radius

Our Promise: Every offer is based on verified recent sold comparables of similar size acreage and features from County records and MLS data — never arbitrary estimates.

Our Due Diligence Process
We invest confidently using advanced remote evaluation tools — no boots on the ground required before purchase:
  1. Aerial Satellite Imagery (High-Res) – Assess vegetation, clearing needs, and layout.
  2. Google Street View & 360° Panorama – Evaluate road access and surroundings.
  3. GIS Mapping Layers
    • FEMA flood zones
    • USDA soil reports & perc viability
    • Wetland mapping
    • Topographic elevation models
  4. Title Search (Preliminary) – Confirm ownership and encumbrances.
  5. County Zoning & Tax Records – Verify permitted uses and tax history.
This tech-enabled process allows us to:
  • Evaluate and analyze parcels in depth for all 50 states

 My siblings and I, had been trying to determine what to do with that property for a couple of years. We were very glad to hear from you and I’m so glad we moved forward. The process was very easy for us and the entire transaction was very quick. We really appreciate all the hard work done for us and we are completely satisfied. I absolutely would recommend your company to anyone in the same position.

 Working with Job and his company was as smooth as a real estate closing could go.

 Prior to working with Job Johnson, I was randomly solicited fairly regularly about selling my property and, truthfully, I was skeptical of all these random contacts. Working with Job Johnson was an excellent experience and I am definitely glad that I responded to his inquiry! He made a fair offer, communicated clearly and regularly, was readily available/responsive and was flexible, as I have a slammed schedule. The process was transparent and smooth and really? It couldn’t have gone better or more easily—pandemic notwithstanding!!

 The property had been in my family for generations so I was cautious who I sold it to. They explained the process and made the sale so easy. They handled all the paperwork, closed fast and even had a notary come to my home for the closing. Thank you!

 My experience was wonderful. I recently had some medical issues and they were so patient working with me. Also we had some title issues that came up and they worked to clear them so we could close on the land.

 I was going through a divorce and didnt have a lot of time to try and sell my land. This company came in, closed fast and kept me updated throughout the process.

 My brother, sister and I inherited our fathers land and didnt know what to do with it. The property had fallen out of contract before with a previous buyer and I didnt want to go through that again. This company made the process very easy for us and closed within 3 weeks.
