Union County, Mississippi
Union County sits in the rolling hill country of northeastern Mississippi, a 416-square-mile county formed in 1870 at the confluence of Chickasaw trade routes along the Tallahatchie River. The county seat of New Albany - birthplace of Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner - anchors a landscape of family farms, timber tracts, and residential land set on what locals call the Pontotoc Ridge, considered some of the highest ground in all of Mississippi. With Interstate 22 traversing the county and positioned roughly 75 miles from Memphis, 35 miles from Oxford, and 35 miles from Tupelo, Union County land carries strong transportation corridor value. Whether your property sits along the Little Tallahatchie River, on a rural road near Myrtle or Blue Springs, or adjacent to the celebrated Tanglefoot Trail, Debrosland is ready to make you a fair, all-cash offer.
We specialize in every type of land Union County has to offer - inherited family farms, timber acreage, residential tracts, landlocked rural parcels, and everything in between. We work directly with Union County landowners to make selling as simple and transparent as possible. No surveys, no cleanup, no commissions - just a straightforward cash offer and a closing on your timeline.
Once we receive your property details, our team reviews the information within 24 business hours and presents a competitive all-cash offer. Fill out the form below or give us a call. Let's get your Union County land sold today.
Union County's land market reflects the opportunities and pressures of northeastern Mississippi hill country - a county where family-owned farmland and timber tracts have been passed down through generations, but where the next generation often builds careers in Memphis, Tupelo, or beyond, leaving rural acreage to sit idle. Annual property taxes on unused land add up year after year, and many landowners find themselves holding property they never visit and cannot practically maintain from a distance.
Others contact us after a life event - an estate settlement, a divorce, or a relocation. Union County's growing economy and I-22 corridor have attracted new residents, but rural land outside of New Albany can be genuinely difficult to sell through traditional channels, especially when the parcel has access issues, title complications from multiple heirs, or a dilapidated structure that makes conventional financing impossible.
There are also investors who purchased Union County land near the Tanglefoot Trail or along the Little Tallahatchie River for recreational use, only to find that managing rural northeast Mississippi property from out of state costs more than anticipated. Whatever your situation, Debrosland is here to make the process simple, fast, and fair.
Deciding to sell your Union County land is a meaningful step, and we approach it with the care your family's legacy deserves. We are Seth and Bryce, brothers who built Debrosland on the values of our family's farm - honesty, hard work, and treating every landowner the way we would want our own family treated. Union County carries real history, from the ancient Ingomar Mound built over two thousand years ago by early indigenous people south of New Albany to the railroad legacy that transformed the county in the 1880s and the literary genius of William Faulkner, born on Cleveland Street in 1897. We are honored to be trusted with the next chapter of your family's land story.
Whether your property is a clean, road-accessible parcel near New Albany or a complicated multi-heir title that has sat unresolved for years, we will work through every detail with you - patiently and transparently. We cover all closing costs, handle all the paperwork, and put cash in your hands on your timeline. Thank you for visiting Debrosland.com - we look forward to earning your trust.

1) If selling to Debrosland: Submit your property information or Parcel ID using our form. You can confirm your Parcel ID through the Union County Tax Collector at 109 East Main Street, New Albany, MS 38652 (662-534-1900). We buy as-is - no surveys, no cleanup required. Once we agree on a price, we open escrow with a local Title Company or Real Estate Attorney.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Find an agent in New Albany who specializes in vacant land. You will sign a listing agreement for 6-12 months, set a price based on comparable Union County land sales, and prepare the property for showings.
3) If selling via FSBO: Research comparable sales on LandWatch and Zillow, list on multiple platforms, and handle all inquiries and negotiations yourself.
1) If selling to Debrosland: Close within 7 to 30 days. No bank appraisals, no mortgage approvals. Once you accept our offer, we open escrow immediately and work around your preferred date.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Vacant land in Union County typically takes 6 to 18 months on the retail market. Rural Mississippi land attracts a specialized buyer pool and qualified buyers take time to find.
3) If selling via FSBO: The timeline is unpredictable - typically 6 to 24 months without MLS access or a professional network to market the property.
1) If selling to Debrosland: We handle nearly all paperwork. We need a signed Purchase Agreement and your most recent Union County property tax bill. We coordinate with a Title Company or Real Estate Attorney to pull the deed from the Union County Chancery Clerk at 109 East Main Street, New Albany, MS 38652, run a full title search, and prepare the closing package.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Expect a Listing Agreement, Seller Disclosure forms, and a multi-page Sales Contract once a buyer is found. The Union County Chancery Clerk will record the final deed.
3) If selling via FSBO: You source a Mississippi-compliant Sales Contract, provide a Property Disclosure Statement, and coordinate the full closing with a Title Company or Real Estate Attorney in New Albany.
1) If selling to Debrosland: Zero out-of-pocket costs. We cover the title search, deed preparation, Union County recording fees, and all Title Company or Real Estate Attorney closing costs. Outstanding property taxes are typically cleared at closing.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Expect 8-12% of the sale price - agent commission (6-10%), buyer concessions, and Title Company fees. Mobile home on land may require a Foundation Certification ($500-$1,500).
3) If selling via FSBO: You save on commission but pay for appraisal, marketing, and a Real Estate Attorney in New Albany to retire the mobile home's title - typically $1,500-$3,000+.
1) If selling to Debrosland: We provide a free market evaluation based on actual recent Union County land sales - road access, proximity to New Albany, soil type, timber value, and nearby amenities all factor in. The number we offer is the number you keep.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Your agent runs a Comparative Market Analysis. After commission, concessions, and holding costs, take-home is meaningfully lower than the listing price.
3) If selling via FSBO: Research recent sales on LandWatch and Zillow, or pay $500-$1,000 for a professional appraisal. Without professional guidance, you risk mispricing in a thin rural market.
1) If selling to Debrosland: Yes - we manage the entire subdivision process, coordinating with a Union County surveyor and the Chancery Clerk at 109 East Main Street, New Albany, MS 38652 to handle the new legal description and recording. We cover all survey and recording costs.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Yes, but you complete the subdivision first - surveyor, county plat approval, new deed recording. Upfront costs typically $2,500-$5,000.
3) If selling via FSBO: Possible but legally complex. You must verify minimum lot size requirements, confirm legal road access, and hire a Real Estate Attorney to draft the correct new legal description.
1) If selling to Debrosland: We help you avoid carrying Union County property taxes on idle land year after year. Our 7-to-30-day close stops that drain immediately. Our cash offer also eliminates the risk of a deal collapsing due to failed bank financing.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Overpricing is the most common mistake in Union County's thin rural land market. An overpriced listing goes stale on the MLS fast. Sellers also underestimate how much commission and concessions reduce their net check.
3) If selling via FSBO: Improper disclosure is the most costly mistake. Mississippi law requires disclosure of known easements, floodplain designations, and zoning limitations. Failures can lead to lawsuits years after closing.
1) If selling to Debrosland: We handle inherited land in Union County every day. If the deed has not been updated to your name, we work with a local Real Estate Attorney to complete probate or file an Affidavit of Heirship through the Union County Chancery Clerk at 109 East Main Street, New Albany, MS 38652 (662-534-1900). We advance all legal fees, recovering them at closing at zero upfront cost to you.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Most agents in New Albany will not list inherited property until probate is finalized - a process that can take 6-12 months and cost several thousand dollars out of pocket.
3) If selling via FSBO: Proving clear title is entirely your responsibility. Multiple heirs require notarized signatures from every one. Most buyers walk if the title is not immediately clean.
1) If selling to Debrosland: We simplify the handoff. If the divorce decree awarded you the Union County property but both names are still on the deed, we work with a local Real Estate Attorney to ensure the Quitclaim Deed or Final Judgment is correctly recorded with the Union County Chancery Clerk before closing.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Both parties must sign every document if both remain on the deed. Carrying costs continue throughout the listing period.
3) If selling via FSBO: You become your own mediator, securing all required signatures and ensuring your attorney has the divorce decree language proving your right to sell.
1) If selling to Debrosland: We specialize in multi-heir Union County situations. Whether two or twelve relatives are on the deed, we coordinate all signatures, handle Affidavits of Heirship through the Union County Chancery Clerk if needed, and advance all legal and recording fees upfront.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Agents require unanimous agreement before signing a Listing Agreement. A holdout relative may force a Partition Suit in Union County Chancery Court - costing $5,000-$15,000 and taking 1-2 years.
3) If selling via FSBO: You personally locate every heir, obtain notarized signatures from each, and ensure the Union County Title Company can issue clean title insurance. Missing one minor heir collapses the deal.
1) If selling to Debrosland: We buy as-is - structure and all. Whether it is a collapsed farmhouse, old cabin, or mobile home in Union County that has not been occupied in years, we take on the liability and cleanup entirely.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: Retail buyers using bank financing often cannot purchase land with a dilapidated structure in Union County because it will not pass appraisal. Demolition costs $5,000-$15,000 and comes out of your net proceeds on top of commission.
3) If selling via FSBO: You carry full legal liability until the deed transfers. Without a solid as-is disclosure from a Real Estate Attorney in New Albany, you risk future legal claims.
1) If selling to Debrosland: Title problems are our specialty. Old tax liens, boundary disputes, or breaks in the chain of title - we work with a local Title Company and Real Estate Attorney to resolve them, paying legal costs and back taxes upfront at no cost to you. We coordinate with the Union County Chancery Clerk at 109 East Main Street, New Albany, MS 38652.
2) If selling with a Real Estate Agent: A title issue stops your listing immediately. Agents cannot proceed until you hire an attorney to resolve the cloud - typically $3,000-$7,000 and months of work in Union County Chancery Court.
3) If selling via FSBO: You personally investigate the Abstract of Title and work with a Real Estate Attorney to file corrective paperwork with the Union County Chancery Clerk. Retail buyers will not risk their savings on a clouded title.
