Frequently Asked Questions
How do you value land with a solar farm lease in San Mateo County?
We evaluate total acreage, annual lease payments, remaining term and renewal options, escalation clauses, the solar developer's financial stability, and the underlying agricultural or development value of the land.
What is a power purchase agreement and does it affect my land sale?
A PPA is a contract between the solar operator and the electricity buyer. PPAs do not directly bind the landowner, but they affect the solar operator's ability to pay rent and therefore impact the lease value.
Can I sell land that is optioned but not yet developed for solar?
Yes. Land under option to a solar developer has value based on the option terms, development probability, and the underlying land value if the option is not exercised.
What happens to the solar panels and equipment on my land?
Solar equipment belongs to the lessee (the solar company), not the landowner. Your sale involves the land and the right to receive lease payments. The solar installation continues operating.
What about decommissioning obligations at the end of the lease?
Most solar leases include decommissioning bonds or provisions requiring the solar company to remove equipment and restore the land. We review these terms during due diligence.
How fast can I close on a solar farm land sale?
Most solar land sales close in 30 to 60 days depending on lease review, title clearance, and coordination with the solar developer in San Mateo County.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
