Days to close with Cinch
Richmond County sits in the southern Sandhills, a rural stretch of NC where longleaf pine, farmland, and small-town market realities define land ownership. The county seat is also named Rockingham, which confuses people — Richmond County is distinct from Rockingham County 150 miles north. Here in the southern Sandhills, the land market is quiet by design. Most parcels are held as recreational tracts for deer and turkey hunting, inherited farmland that switched from tobacco to row crops, or rural acreage that has never had a development plan attached to it.
The sellers I work with in Richmond County often have one thing in common: they've been holding land that cost them money every year in taxes and upkeep, and they haven't found a buyer through conventional channels. MLS land listings in rural Richmond County sit for 240 to 365 days or longer. The buyer pool who wants Sandhills acreage and can actually close — especially without a land loan — is small. What moves land here is a cash offer from someone who understands what rural southern NC land is worth and doesn't need a feasibility study to proceed.

Market Reality
Why Richmond County Land Sits on the MLS for a Year or More
Land loans are harder to get than home mortgages, and in rural counties like Richmond, lenders want 25-50% down and evidence of a development plan. Most buyers willing to put that much cash down would rather put it directly into a private transaction than navigate a land loan process that takes 60-90 days to close even after a contract is signed.
Cash offers cut through all of that. I buy hunting tracts, farmland, timber acreage, and rural residential lots in Richmond County without asking a seller to wait 6 months. Sellers here tend to be estate heirs, longtime holders who bought in the 1980s or 90s, and out-of-county owners paying taxes on land they've never visited.
What We Buy
In Richmond County I buy recreational hunting and timber tracts, agricultural parcels that formerly grew tobacco or row crops, rural residential lots in and around Rockingham, and landlocked acreage that other buyers pass on. The county's Pee Dee River corridor occasionally surfaces waterfront parcels that I evaluate individually. I'm not looking to lowball anyone — I'm looking for owners who want a certain close date and zero hassle.

MLS listing vs FSBO vs Cinch cash offer
Every landowner has three real options for selling raw land in Richmond County. Here's how they compare on the metrics that matter.
| Factor | MLS Listing | FSBO | Cinch Cash Offer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to close | 6–18 months | 9–24 months | 7–14 days |
| Agent commission | 6–10% | Buyer agent only | $0 |
| Survey required | Usually | Often | Never |
| Financing fall-throughs | Common | Common | None — cash |
| Title & closing costs | Seller pays | Seller pays | Cinch covers |
| Back taxes/liens handled | Seller clears | Seller clears | Cleared at closing |
| Offer timeline | Weeks to months | Months | 24 hours |
| Best price potential | Highest if time permits | Variable | Fair wholesale |
We're honest: MLS can get a higher sticker price if you have 12–18 months and the right agent. What Cinch offers is certainty, speed, and zero out-of-pocket cost — the right fit when you want out, not when you want to maximize on paper.
