Sideyard East is a small, owner-operated company that buys vacant land for fair cash offers and sells well-researched lots to people ready to build, invest, or put down roots.

Sideyard East is run by Ted Sheils, a Maryland-based land investor who buys and sells vacant parcels across Southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore. We're not a national outfit routing your call through a call center. When you reach out, you're talking to the person who makes the decisions and follows through.
We built this business on a simple idea: land deals should leave both sides better off. Sellers get a fair price and a clean, easy sale. Buyers get a parcel that's been genuinely researched, priced honestly, and handed over ready for what comes next.
Every deal runs on the same disciplined process, from due diligence to closing, so nothing gets missed and you always know where things stand.

Five principles shape how we treat the people we work with and how we run the business.
We look for genuine win-win outcomes. Even when a deal isn't right for us, we'll still help point you toward a solution that works for you.
We respond quickly and follow through on every commitment. Our word is our bond, and you can count on us to deliver what we promise, when we promise it.
Thorough research and disciplined due diligence run through everything we do. Repeatable systems protect both our clients and ourselves.
We're a small, local company doing local deals. We know our counties and communities, and we work with people we know and trust.
We respect the land we handle, make thoughtful improvements where needed, and pass each parcel along in better shape than we found it.
No pressure, no obligation. Here's exactly how it works when you reach out.
Send us your property details by phone, email, or the form below. It only takes a minute.
We review the parcel, access, and comparable sales to arrive at a fair, honest number.
We present a clear cash offer and walk you through it. No games, no fine print.
Once you accept the offer, we put it in writing and start working toward closing right away.
We coordinate the closing through a title company on a timeline that works for you.
Buying instead? The path is just as simple. Browse our lots for sale, open any one for the full details and property research.
We focus on a handful of counties across two Maryland regions where we know the land, the market, and the local process. That local knowledge is how we serve buyers and sellers better than an out-of-state operator ever could.

Southern Maryland
Have land nearby but not sure if it's in our area? Reach out anyway. We're always glad to take a look.
We work consistently with local title companies, agents, and contractors, and we understand how each county handles zoning, perc tests, and buildability. When we make an offer or list a lot, it's grounded in real local knowledge, not a spreadsheet guess.
For each property we sell, we prepare a magazine-style marketing brochure and a detailed buyer information sheet, so buyers get the full picture and sellers know their land is presented professionally. Here are examples.
A polished, photo-forward brochure covering the property, its location, and the surrounding community.

Primarily vacant, unimproved lots and parcels in Southern Maryland and on the Eastern Shore. If you're not sure your property is a fit, send it over and we'll tell you honestly.
