Hawaii County, Hawaii · Big Island
We buy Big Island lots directly from owners. Restricted zoning, back taxes, no road, never set foot on it — none of that stops us. No agent, no commission, no cleanup.
A lot of Big Island acreage was sold through mainland land promotions decades ago — subdivided, platted, and marketed to buyers who never saw it. Much of it sits in Agriculture Restricted zoning or on paper roads that were never cut, which means it cannot be built on and never will be.
Meanwhile the county bills you every year. If you've been holding one of these since the eighties, the arithmetic is worth looking at plainly.
Illustrative — 3-acre ag lot, 30-year hold
Illustration only, not an appraisal or an offer. Your parcel's actual numbers depend on its zoning, access, and tax history — we'll pull all three before we quote you.
Situations
You ended up with a parcel on an island you've never visited and no plan for it.
Bills stacked up on land you can't use. Delinquency doesn't disqualify a parcel.
A-3a, conservation, or ag-restricted. We buy these routinely.
Paper roads, landlocked parcels, undivided road interests.
Zones 1 through 4. It affects the number, not whether we make an offer.
Sat on the market with an agent and nothing happened.
Process
APN or the address is enough. If you can't find it, your tax bill has it.
Zoning, access, flood and lava designations, assessed value, tax status, and recent sales nearby. Usually a day or two.
Not just a figure — what drove it. If the zoning is what's holding the value down, we'll say so.
No pressure and no follow-up sequence. Say no and you won't hear from us again.
Through a Hawaii title or escrow company. You sign wherever you are. We cover closing costs. Typically two to three weeks.
We're not agents and we're not listing your land. Acrevest buys parcels with its own funds and resells them, and we make money on the difference. That means our offer is below what your parcel might eventually fetch on the open market after a long listing period and a patient buyer.
What you get instead is speed, certainty, and no cost. No commission, no closing costs, no cleanup, no repairs, no waiting to see whether someone shows up.
That's a real trade and it isn't right for everyone. If your parcel is buildable, has good access, and you can wait a year, an agent will likely net you more. We'll tell you that if we see it.
Hawaii County
Not on the list? Send the APN anyway. We buy across the county and we buy in Riverside and San Bernardino County, California, and several Florida counties as well.
Asked most
Yes. Agriculture Restricted zoning, no road access, and lava zone designations don't disqualify a parcel. They affect the price, not whether we buy.
Common on parcels like these, and usually settled out of the sale proceeds at closing. Tell us the amount and we account for it in the offer.
No, and we won't tell you otherwise. We buy below market because we resell and carry the risk in between. Our offers typically land between 50 and 80 percent of what a parcel would fetch on the open market over a long listing period. If you want full market value, list it and wait.
Yes. Most people we buy from have never been to their parcel. Closing is remote through a Hawaii title or escrow company.
Not necessarily, but it depends on where probate stands and who currently holds title. Tell us the situation and we'll tell you honestly whether we can work with it now or whether you need a step completed first.
No. No commission, no closing costs, no fees. If we can't reach a number that works, you've spent nothing but the time it took to send an APN.

We reply to every one, usually same day. No mailing list, no drip sequence. If we can't make a number that works we'll tell you that directly.
