Our 4-Step Process

  1. Tell us about the property. Fill out the short form on this page or call or text 321-316-1051. We’ll ask for the address, the condition of the house, your situation and your timeline. It only takes a few minutes and it’s free.
  2. We review the details and set up a quick visit. We’ll call or text to go over the details and, if it helps, set up a quick visit. We look at the location, the condition, what repairs it needs, and what comparable homes nearby have sold for recently.
  3. You get a fair, written cash offer. We usually make the offer within 48 hours. It’s yours to review with family, your attorney or anyone you trust, with no pressure and no obligation.
  4. We close on your date. We close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days, or later if you need time to move. We pay the normal closing costs, and any mortgage, back taxes or liens are paid from the proceeds at closing.

What to Expect on Timing

  • Your offer: usually within 48 hours of getting your information.
  • Closing: in as little as 7 days, or on the date you pick. If you need a few extra weeks to find your next place, that’s fine.
  • Probate and estate sales: the timing follows the court and the personal representative’s authority. In many cases we can sign a contract now and close as soon as the estate is able to sell.
  • Back taxes or foreclosure: in general you can still sell before the tax deed sale or the foreclosure auction, but the earlier you call, the more choices you’ll have.

What We Buy

We buy houses in any condition across Central Florida, including houses that:

  • need major repairs, are badly outdated, or have fire or water damage
  • are vacant, or still full of a family member’s belongings
  • have tenants living in them, including difficult tenants
  • have liens, code violations, back taxes or a mortgage you’re behind on
  • were inherited, or are part of an estate in probate

If you’re not sure whether your house qualifies, just ask. We’ll give you a straight answer.

How Our Cash Sale Works: Common Questions

How fast will I get a cash offer?

Usually within 48 hours of getting the details about your house. If we need to see the property first, we’ll set up a quick visit at a time that works for you.

Do I have to make repairs or clean out the house?

No. We buy houses as-is. Take the things you want to keep and leave the rest. You don’t need to fix, paint, clean or stage anything.

What does it cost to sell my house to you?

There are no fees or commissions, and we pay the normal closing costs. If there’s a mortgage, back taxes or liens on the property, they’re paid from the sale proceeds at closing, so you don’t have to bring that money to the table.

Am I obligated to accept your offer?

No. The offer is free and there’s no obligation. If the number doesn’t work for you, you can walk away. If it does, you pick the closing date.

Can you buy a house that’s in probate, behind on taxes or facing foreclosure?

Often, yes. We work alongside the personal representative and the estate’s attorney on probate sales, and back taxes or a mortgage balance get paid off at closing. Timing depends on the court case or the sale date, so the sooner we talk, the more options you have.

Do I need to be in Florida to close?

Usually not. Documents can be signed remotely with a mobile notary, and your funds are wired to you.
