Sell Land in Washington County for Cash
A Simple Way to Sell Washington County Acreage
Greenville is the county seat, but most of Washington County is farm ground. The 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture counted 287 farms on about 423,000 acres, and the average farm was 1,474 acres. Farms cover roughly 91 percent of the county’s land, so owning acreage here usually means owning part of a working farm landscape.
Maybe the land came to you through family, or maybe you simply want out. We buy land for cash, and you pay no realtor commissions or agent fees. Closing costs are handled as set out in the purchase agreement. Send us the details of your parcel, whether it is open cropland, a woodlot or a mix, and we will tell you if we can make an offer.
What Leads Washington County Owners to Sell
Greenville anchors the county, with Leland and Hollandale serving other farm areas. Arcola and Metcalfe are smaller towns, while Winterville, Stoneville, Elizabeth and Glen Allan are communities where farm roads and fields take over. Census Bureau estimates put the population near 40,000 in 2025, compared with about 44,900 in 2020.
Many owners we hear from are one step removed from the land. They grew up around Greenville or Leland, moved away for work, and later inherited acres they rarely see. Others rent their ground to a neighbor and have decided the upkeep is no longer worth it. Selling for cash turns a distant piece of property into something simple to settle.

How a Washington County Sale Closes
Once you accept an offer, the sale moves to a title company or a closing attorney. They prepare the closing documents, and you sign a deed in front of a notary. That deed is then recorded with the Chancery Clerk of the county, the office that keeps the land records.
Do you live somewhere else? The title company or closing attorney can explain how to sign from where you live. The purchase agreement spells out how closing costs are handled, and we encourage you to review it carefully. You can read more about selling land in Mississippi on our state page.
