Sell your land in Folsom.
Around Folsom, land comes as fenced pasture, horse acreage and pine and hardwood woods along LA-25 and LA-40. We buy it directly from owners, five acres or fifty: no listing, no commission, title work handled.
If you own land around Folsom and want to sell it without listing, we buy directly. Folsom is a small village about twelve miles north of Covington, and most of the land people call "Folsom" is rural acreage in the parish around it. We look at what actually sets value up here, which is frontage, pasture versus woods, creeks, and how a tract could be divided, and we show you the recorded sales behind our number. Title work is handled and you get cash at closing.

Selling here, specifically
What’s different about a Folsom sale.
Scenic-river rules reach the creeks
Up here the Tchefuncte's protection isn't limited to the main river: the designation covers its tributaries from its origin in Tangipahoa down to the Bogue Falaya. If a creek crosses your tract, commercial clear-cutting within 100 feet of it is off the table, and that affects what the timber is worth.
Pasture, fences and barns
Fenced pasture, a barn or a run-in shed can help a horse buyer and mean nothing to a timber buyer. You don't need to clear anything out or fix it up before you sell to us; we price the property as it stands.
Room to divide
A long-frontage tract near Folsom can be split into homesites through the parish's minor subdivision process. That potential is worth something, and we'll buy the whole tract and do any dividing ourselves so you don't have to.
Standing timber
Many Folsom-area tracts carry merchantable pine or hardwood. Sometimes it pays to sell the timber first, sometimes it's why a buyer wants the land. We'll say which is true for yours before you take any offer.
Track record
The same buyer, town after town.
I just purchased a piece of property from Mr. Harry. He was very professional during the negotiation process and made the closing so easy and quick. I witnessed honesty and integrity first hand!
