About Terra Nova Equity LLC

What We Do

Terra Nova Equity buys property directly from owners. We are not a listing service, a lead broker, or a wholesaler. When we make an offer, we intend to close on it with our own funds and take title to the property.

Our work falls into three buckets:

• Distressed house purchases. We buy houses in any condition, rehab them, and return them to the market as quality housing. That is the core of our business and the reason we can price a property with a serious repair list.
• Vacant land acquisition. We buy lots, acreage, inherited parcels, and land with back taxes. Land is harder to sell than a house, and most buyers cannot finance it, which is exactly why we are useful to landowners.
• Lot supply for home builders. We place buildable lots with production and spec builders who need inventory in specific submarkets. This is the part of the business we are most focused on growing.

Why We Focus on Rehab and New Construction

There is a version of this business that buys property, marks it up, and assigns the contract to someone else. We do not do that. We buy, we improve, and we either hold or resell. That means we carry real risk on every property, and it means our offers are based on what the work actually costs rather than what we hope another buyer will pay.

It also means we care about the neighborhoods we buy in. A neglected house that gets rehabbed removes blight, raises surrounding values, and puts a family back in a home. A vacant lot that gets a new house on it does the same thing. That is a better outcome than leaving the property to decay, and it is a better business than flipping paper.

Where We Operate

We are headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and Louisville is where we are most active. We buy throughout Jefferson County and the surrounding counties, including Oldham, Bullitt, Shelby, Spencer, and Trimble, plus the Southern Indiana communities across the river.

Beyond Louisville, we evaluate property in all 50 states. We concentrate on markets where new home construction is active and lot supply is tight, particularly across the Southeast, Texas, and the Mountain West. If a property is outside our buy box, we will tell you rather than string you along.

How We Work

• Every offer is written and explained, including the math behind it
• We buy as-is, with no repair requests and no inspection renegotiation
• We charge no commissions, no listing fees, and no closing costs to sellers
• We close through a licensed title company or attorney in your state
• We name ourselves as the buyer on the purchase agreement
• We tell sellers when listing with an agent is the better option

What We Are Not

We are not a law firm, a tax advisor, or a financial advisor. We do not provide legal or tax advice, and we recommend consulting a professional for anything involving probate, title disputes, capital gains, or a pending foreclosure. We are also not a charity. We are a business, and we make a profit on the properties we buy. The value we offer is speed, certainty, and taking on work you do not want to do.
