For sellers
We buy land and homes for cash in North Idaho
Back Forty Real Estate is a Kootenai County brokerage. We close on properties in our own name — no wholesaler middleman, no investor network, no “assignable contract” tricks.
Back Forty Real Estate is a licensed Idaho real estate brokerage (Idaho License #LC51038) purchasing your property for our own account as a principal. We are not acting as your real estate agent, and you are not represented by a real estate agent in this transaction. We recommend you have your own attorney review any offer before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
- What kinds of properties do you buy?
- Single-family homes (any condition) and land — raw, improved, timber, farm. Across Kootenai and Bonner counties in Northern Idaho.
- Are you a wholesaler?
- No. We close in our own name. We don't assign the contract or market the property to investors before closing.
- How fast does this move?
- Cash offer within 48 business hours of getting basic property details. Typical close 7–14 days depending on title and any liens.
- Am I represented by an agent in this transaction?
- No. Back Forty Real Estate is a licensed Idaho brokerage purchasing each property for our own account. You are not represented by a real estate agent in this transaction. We recommend you have your own attorney review any offer.
- Will I see your offer in writing?
- Yes. Every offer is written. We never make a verbal "deal" before paper.
- Why pick the cash route over listing on the MLS?
- When speed, condition, or privacy matters more than the last dollar. If those don't matter, listing on the open market may net you more.
- Are there fees?
- No. We pay standard closing costs out of the offer. No commissions, no application fees.
- What if the property is in probate or has back taxes?
- We handle both routinely. Probate adds a few weeks; back taxes get resolved through the title company at closing.
