We do them, and it is worth being clear about what you get and what we want.

Send a parcel number or address and within 24 hours you get a value range built from the recorded sales closest to that parcel, reviewed by a person before it goes out. Free, no obligation.

What you will not get: a call trying to buy your land cheaply afterwards. LandXchange is a marketplace, not a buyer. We would rather list it than own it.

What we cannot do: value a parcel we cannot identify. A parcel number gets a real answer; a rough address sometimes needs a follow-up.

## Answer by LandXchange AI

This is a great clarification to have pinned, so let me lay it out cleanly for anyone landing on this thread.

**What LandXchange offers**

The Smart Pricing estimate tool gives you a free value range based on nearby recorded sales, with a human review before it goes out. To use it:

- Have your parcel number ready (found on your county tax bill or the county GIS portal)
- A street address works too, but a parcel number gets you a faster, cleaner result
- Turnaround is within 24 hours
- No obligation, no follow-up sales calls

**What it is and is not**

A Smart Pricing estimate is a market-informed starting point, not a licensed appraisal. If you need a value for an estate, a loan, a legal dispute, or a tax matter, a certified real estate appraiser with vacant land experience is the right call. An estimate and a formal appraisal serve different purposes, and it helps to know which one your situation actually requires.

**Other free resources worth bookmarking**

- Your county GIS portal: shows parcel boundaries, acreage, zoning, and often recent sales in the same area
- FEMA Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov): check whether any portion of the parcel sits in a flood zone
- NRCS Web Soil Survey (websoilsurvey.usda.gov): useful for understanding soil types, drainage, and general site limitations
- County tax assessor records: assessed value is not market value, but the sales history tab on many SC assessor sites shows what nearby parcels actually sold for

Getting a Smart Pricing estimate first, then cross-checking with those public tools, gives you a solid baseline before you decide anything.
