Frequently Asked Questions
When can I visit the property I'm interested in and how do I find the exact location?
Call us anytime so you can schedule a set time to visit the property you are interested in. If there are any questions that need to be clarified, the Open Sky Land Company Sales Team can provide answers at the time of scheduling. You will also be able to locate the exact location by way of a Google Maps link or coordinates from Google Maps that are presented on each property page. The Sales Team can also guide you to the property if there are any issues with locating it during your visit.
What is the purchase/closing process with Open Sky Land Company?
Once you have visited the property and are ready to proceed with a purchase, give the Open Sky Land Company Sales Team a call back so we can get a contract in your name. We will also discuss and introduce the closing team that will assist with transferring ownership of the property from Open Sky Land Company into your name. A deposit will be required in addition to a signed contract in order to start the closing process. Once closing is ready to take place, the closing team will contact you to schedule a closing date and time.
How soon can I begin using the property?
You can begin using your newly owned property as soon as the closing has completed and you have been informed you are the new owner of the property. Until the closing occurs and rightful ownership transfers from Open Sky Land Company to you, you are legally not allowed to alter the property in any way.
Do all of Open Sky Land Company's properties have utilities (water, sewer, electricity, etc.) established?
Depending on the property you are interested in, no utilities, some utilities or all utilities may be present or established at or on the property. Please ask the Sales Team during your conversation, that way we are able to inform you of the status of current utilities or provide you the information so you can perform the necessary diligence to receive an answer.
How do I get approved for Open Sky Land Company's Financing Program?
To assist in providing undeveloped land for affordable housing opportunities across the United States, Open Sky Land Company has already pre-approved all interested buyers for our properties. We will work with you to customize your terms, accommodate your budget and make sure that your monthly payments are “Comfortable for your Family!” We also want you to know that there are NO banks involved, NO credit checks and NO background checks during our approval process! We trust that our customers know what is best for them and that’s all that matters for approval in our minds.
How does the closing process work and how soon will I own the property in my name?
The closing process begins as soon as a contract is signed and your deposit made. Ownership can transfer into your name in as little as 5 business days! Please refer to the closing process question above and give us a call if further clarification is needed!
If I decide to Owner Finance the property with Open Sky Land Company, where do I make my monthly payments?
Monthly payments are made to an assigned loan servicing company depending on the location of your property. The Sales Team and closing team will provide the loan servicing company you will make payments to at the time of closing and ownership transfer.
What can I do with the properties that Open Sky Land Company sells?
Each property has different zoning/restriction requirements which will determine what exactly can be built or done on/with the property. Open Sky Land Company has sold a variety of properties across different counties and states and each county/state has their own sets of laws. All that said, Open Sky Land Company has sold properties that have zero restrictions (you can do as you please!) all the way to properties with HOAs (Homeowners’ Association). The best news is we likely have a property in a location with the exact requirements you are wanting!
Who is responsible for paying the property taxes after closing takes place?
After a purchase has been finalized and ownership passed on from Open Sky Land Company into your name, the property taxes are your responsibility, NO EXCEPTIONS. Since Open Sky Land Company trusts its customers 100%, part of that trust comes with the responsibility that each new owner takes on their property taxes since they are now the rightful owner of the property and the deed for the property has been filed in your name with the respective County.
