Inherited land in Austin or Travis County, or a lot you've owned for years and never built on? Property taxes keep going up, or have fallen behind, and the family would rather have it settled. We're land investors, not agents, and usually not the end buyer: we put your land under contract and bring the home builder who buys it, so you get one number, one closing at a Texas title company, and no fees or commission.
Get Your Free OfferLand in and around Austin is in high demand as the metro keeps pushing outward through Travis County. Builders and developers are actively looking for lots they can put to use, and Simul Fortis Holdings sources that land directly from owners like you. We are not agents, and on land we are usually not the end buyer either. We put your land under contract and assign that contract to a builder who buys it and closes through a title company. Either way you get one number, one closing date, and no commission.
Because we match land to what builders are buying, we can make a fair offer — no listing, no commissions, no waiting for the right retail buyer to come along. Just tell us about your Austin-area property.

Travis County is several land markets that happen to share a courthouse, and a number that makes sense in one is nonsense in another.
Inside Austin city limits, value on an infill lot is usually decided by lot yield, and lot yield is capped by frontage divided by the minimum lot width, not by square footage. Two lots with identical area can support a different number of homes purely because of how they front the street. That single calculation moves infill pricing more than almost anything else, and it is the first thing we run.
Outside the city limits you land in the extraterritorial jurisdiction, where the city holds platting authority but does not necessarily provide services. Owners are often surprised that a tract can be subject to city subdivision rules while having no city water or sewer. On the eastern side, around Manor, Del Valle and toward Elgin, you are typically looking at septic and a water supply corporation rather than a municipal main, and that shapes what any builder will pay.
West of the city the market changes character again. Lake Travis, Lakeway and the Westlake corridor price off finished-home comparables rather than any lot-yield model, and above roughly a million dollars of finished value the usual residual math stops being reliable. We price those off actual sales instead.
Two more things we always check here. Floodplain, because Travis County has real creek drainage and a mapped Zone A with no established base flood elevation is the expensive kind, requiring an engineering study before anyone can build. And whether the parcel actually touches a built, maintained street, which is not the same as touching a right of way drawn on an old plat.
Lot yield first. Frontage divided by the minimum lot width usually caps how many homes the parcel supports, and that drives the number more than total square footage does.
Often yes. In the extraterritorial jurisdiction the city can hold platting authority without providing water or sewer. It is a common surprise and it affects what a builder will pay.
Yes, and we price those differently. Above roughly a million dollars of finished home value we work from actual sold comparables rather than a residual model, because the residual stops being reliable up there.
Not automatically. What matters is how much of the tract is affected and whether the mapping carries an established base flood elevation. Zone A without one requires an engineering study before building, and that is a real cost we would rather price openly.
Yes. Eastern Travis is one of the more active areas we work, usually with septic and a water supply corporation rather than city utilities.
No obligation, no pressure — just a fair number for your land. Get started above or reach us directly.
