Have you seen my land?

Once you have expressed an interest in selling your property and have communicated that to us, we will likely want to see the property in person and will ask your formal permission to access it.

How long does it take to receive my money?

Some counties are quicker than others in helping the title companies do this research. The title companies, you the seller and Royal Investment Properties as the buyer all want this to go as quickly as possible.
