You own a piece of land. Maybe it’s vacant, maybe it’s under-utilized, maybe it’s become a tax liability rather than an investment. In the bustling backdrop of Southwest Florida’s growth, even land with problems can carry hidden value.

Why Vacant Land & Distressed Parcels Matter Now in SWFL
· Southwest Florida is going through a demographic and economic shift: growing population, diversifying industries, increased demand for new development. (southwestfloridacre.com)
· Land that was overlooked before can now be set for redevelopment, creative uses, or repositioning.
· If you’re holding a tax-burdened parcel, letting it go can be relief—if done smartly.
How to Get Your Land Ready to Sell
1. Clarify the title: Are there liens, unpaid taxes, easements or zoning issues?
2. Understand the highest and best use: Is it commercial redevelopment? Mixed-use? Industrial?
3. Package the deal: What makes this piece unique? Location, utility availability, access, future development plans?
4. Consider creative sale methods: buyer holds mortgage, joint venture, or partial sale combined with your ownership.
