What sellers say
Who am I?
Hi, I’m Patrick
I grew up on 80 acres in Alaska with a gravel pit on it. Summers were swimming in the pond and hunting squirrels with my older brother. My dad bought acreage as an investment, and I built my first property, a duplex, with my own hands. Real estate has always been kind of a family thing. Buying land isn’t a business I picked out of a catalog. It’s what I know.
I’ve been in real estate since 2017 and buying land full time since 2020. My wife is from the Cincinnati area, and we moved here to raise our kids close to her family. This is home now, and this is where I buy land.
If you got a card from me, I wrote it. If you call, I pick up. I’m not a company with a sales floor. I’m one guy who buys land, and I’d rather sit at your kitchen table or walk your fence line than send you a form letter.
Most people who call me have land they inherited, or land they bought years ago planning to build on and never did. The plan changed. Now they’re paying taxes on something they don’t use. If that’s you, I’d like to hear about it.

Why I Buy Land
They’re not making any more of it. I believe land is the foundation of wealth, and we live in a country that lets a regular person own some. That’s a beautiful thing. My goal is to help my family and a few others own a little piece of America before it all ends up with overseas corporations or Wall Street.
I currently own a 70-acre farm in Clermont County. It’s being farmed for now. My wife and I are in our 30s with two little kids, and we know a lot of friends our age who want 5 or 10 acres to call their own, keep a couple horses or a cow, and get their kids back to rural living. So the plan for the farm is to carve out homestead acreage for a handful of those families. Not a major subdivision. A few families with room to breathe.
This is why I’m actively buying land:
- To keep. Some pieces I buy for my own family.
- For farming. Some ground should stay in production. If your land is being farmed, I’ll tell you up front whether I’d keep it that way.
- For local families. I know families around here who want their own land to build on, hunt, or homestead. When I find a piece that fits what they’re looking for, I buy it and sell it to them.
I'll take a look at most land
Inherited, overgrown, behind on taxes, sat with an agent and never sold. I’ve bought all of those. Maybe you moved away and haven’t seen it in ten years. Maybe you’re just tired of writing the tax check every year for something you’ll never use.
Send me the details and I’ll tell you what I can do. If I’m not the right buyer for it, I’ll tell you that too.
How It All Works
Step 2: I come see it
I’ll drive out and walk the property with you if you want. Then I do my homework, pull comps, and get you a firm number, usually within 2 to 3 days.
Step 3: Sign a simple agreement
Plain English, a couple pages. Once we both sign, I’m obligated to buy and you’re obligated to sell.
Step 4: Title company handles closing
They do the title work and the paperwork. I pay the closing costs. You pick the closing date. Can’t get to a title company? I’ll send a notary to your house.
Step 5: You get paid
Cashier’s check or wire, your choice. The deed gets recorded with the county and you’re done.
"It was the easiest, most unproblematic closing we've ever gone through."
My husband & I never actually met Patrick, but our interaction with him over the few months it took to hammer out our sale was perfectly seamless. When we needed to discuss something & preferred a phone call; he called us. When we had questions or concerns they were answered & addressed. Always professional; always polite & courteous but most of all just kind & friendly. It was the easiest, most unproblematic closing we’ve ever gone through. I wish they all could be this pleasant & easy. Thanks Patrick!

Frequently Asked Questions
Mostly Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, within a couple hours of Cincinnati. If your property is somewhere else, send it to me anyway. I may still be able to help, and if I can’t, I’ll point you to someone who can.
Most of the letters in your mailbox come from out-of-state companies and investors who’ve never seen your county. I live here. I’ll drive out, walk the property with you, and shake your hand. By the time we close, you’ll know my kids’ names.
Depends on the piece. Some I keep, some stays in farming, some I improve, and some goes to a local family who wants to build, hunt, or homestead on it. Before you sign anything, I’m happy to tell you what I plan to do with yours.
Sometimes. If it’s a bigger piece, I may divide it into a few tracts so more than one family can own part of it. That’s what I’m doing with my own farm in Clermont County, 5 and 10 acre homesteads for a handful of families. If you’d rather it stay in one piece, tell me and I’ll be honest about whether I can buy it that way.
Usually, yes. I buy land for a living, with the intention of making a profit. Sometimes that comes from farming the land. Sometimes it’s selling a portion to a friend or a family member. Sometimes I resell a property that isn’t the best fit for me to hold long term. And sometimes I build a house on it so a family can enjoy it.
For sure. (513) 650-6782. If I miss you, leave your name, number, and a good time to reach you, and I’ll call you back within a day or two.
No. I pay the closing costs and there’s no agent commission. The number I offer is the number you receive.
Usually 2 to 3 days after I’ve seen the property or we’ve talked. If yours is more complicated, I’ll tell you up front.
Call me anyway. Some of the best relationships I have around here started with a landowner who wasn’t ready for a few years. I’d rather know you now than get a cold call from you later. Talk to your spouse, your kids, whoever you need to. No deadline on my end.
