2. What Do You Do?

We offer cash for houses in Florida, regardless of their condition or location. That’s the bottom line. If you’re looking for an alternative to dealing with the hassles of traditional listings, we’re here for you. Even if time isn’t a pressing concern, but you’d rather skip the expenses and frustrations of listing your FL house with an agent, we’re the ideal choice.

3. Is A “We Buy Houses” Company Right For Me?

We're not in a rush or desperate to sell our home in FL. We're taking our time to find the right buyer.

It may surprise you, but most of the sellers we’ve worked with in Florida weren’t desperate to sell at all, nor were they facing foreclosure. Many of our clients choose us because they’ve had negative experiences with listing their homes with agents, or they simply want to avoid the hassle of repairs and constant showings that come with selling traditionally.

Since we buy houses in any condition, as is, regardless of the situation, location, or issues you may be facing, we’re often a great option for a quick and hassle-free sale.

Let us crunch the numbers and determine how much we can offer you in cash for your FL home. We’ll also provide advice on whether listing with an agent might be a better option. There’s no harm in getting an offer from us—our offers are completely free with no obligation to accept!

4. Why Should I Choose You?

Honestly, you absolutely do not have to choose us!

We’re not in a desperate situation, nor do we aim to make huge profits on every deal. We believe in fair and honest transactions without pressure. I won’t try to persuade you on why you should choose us. The decision is entirely up to you.

I will, however, explain how we set ourselves apart from the rest:

We Are The Top Ranking Home Buyers In Florida!

I know, I know, everyone says this, but I’m sure you saw it yourself when you found us online at the top of Google! What does this mean? It means many people who have dealt with us loved the experience. We do what we say and follow through with the transaction. We’ve become the popular choice.

We focus on you!

Let’s ensure you get cash for your house. Whether we buy your Florida house in cash, or another company that we have vetted, spoken to, trust, and trained, gives you a higher offer, you can be certain you’ll receive the highest offer on your house! Isn’t that nice of us?

So no, you don’t have to choose us, but if you do want to choose us, simply fill in this form, and we’ll take care of you.

We are genuine, honest, and we care. As investors, we aim to make money, but not at your expense. We go out of our way to genuinely help you, expecting nothing in return!

5. Will Cash Home Buyers List My House On The MLS?

We do not list houses on the MLS, as we are not agents. Our goal is to purchase your house in cash, and if needed, rehabilitate it before selling for a profit. We offer various solutions, such as seller financing, wholesaling, and cash purchases, ensuring a fast sale for you!

6. How are you different from a real estate agent?

An agent does not purchase your house. Agents list your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to attract potential buyers. They charge commissions and fees, and selling with an agent in Florida means paying closing costs, title fees, and enduring numerous walkthroughs during the listing period, which can be lengthy.

We are two individuals with the cash and connections to other cash buyers interested in purchasing houses, renovating them, and returning them to the market for sale at a profit. As cash buyers and investors, we are the ones directly buying your house. We bypass the entire “agent” process and proceed straight to making an offer and closing on your Florida property for sale. We cover typical selling expenses like closing costs and inspections. The key difference is that we do not impose any fees or commissions. As mentioned, we circumvent the entire “agent” process.

7. Should I just list my house in FL with an agent?

Honestly, we do not have a definitive answer… yet! To provide you with the best advice, we need to assess your house, your situation, your timeline, your location, your expectations, needs, and requirements. We’re more than happy to offer you our professional recommendation.

Many people do not understand the advantages and disadvantages of listing a house on the MLS. We’d love to assist you with this.

9. Are there any obligations after I fill in the form?

Absolutely no obligations whatsoever. We’re aware that you have choices. We understand the presence of individuals eager to scam and take advantage of your situation. To set ourselves apart from them, we want you to know there are no costs involved for you. You genuinely have nothing to lose. We present you with an offer, and if you accept it, fantastic! You’ll receive your cash promptly. If you decide not to accept the offer, we’ll do our utmost to provide guidance in the right direction.

10. Do I Need To Clean Before I Move Out?

Absolutely, no need to worry about a thing. Take whatever you want to keep, and leave the rest. And we mean it. Food in the fridge, clothes on the floor, mattresses, desks, furniture, you name it. We once even found a raccoon carcass in a wall – gave our contractor quite a scare, but we don’t judge. Trust us when we say, we’ve seen it all. So why not make things easier on yourself? Keep what you want and let us handle the rest.

11. Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

There is absolutely no money out of your pocket. All fees are paid by us (we get it back when we sell the rehabbed house to another buyer). You can sell your house without spending a dime.

12. Do you pay fair prices for properties?

That’s a great question. Yes, we definitely offer fair prices. However, it’s important to understand the distinction between a fair price and market value. If the house is in poor condition, we consider the market value of the house and subtract all the costs of needed repairs. This gives us a number that is still fair, considering the condition. In some cases, we can make highly competitive offers at market value, but these scenarios often don’t allow for an all-cash purchase. Seller financing might be an option in such cases. For more details on fair offers, I’ve provided a simple example on how these “below market offers” may still be the best scenario

13. My house is in terrible condition, will you still buy it?

Absolutely! We buy homes in Florida in any condition, whether it’s good or bad. As flippers, we’re particularly interested in houses with room for improvement. So, yes, we’d love to buy your house even if it’s in bad shape. You might be surprised by how much we’re willing to offer! Just fill out our form, and let’s see how much we can offer you in cash for your house in FL!

14. How do you determine the price to offer on my house?

Basically:

1. We Determine The Market Value Of Your Home In FL.

It all begins with a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis). We examine all the houses that have recently sold within a 1-mile radius of your house, focusing on properties that are very similar (comparable) to yours in terms of square footage, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, and other relevant features.

From these sold properties, we gather their sale prices. This provides us with a highly accurate market value for your house, assuming it is in the same condition as these recently sold properties.

2. We Determine The Cost Of Repairs.

The cost of repairs is the expense linked to bringing your house to a similar condition as other houses in your area that are comparable to yours and have recently been sold. During the walkthrough, we carefully assess what needs to be repaired, with the assistance of our trusted contractors. Our goal is to keep costs down, so we only address necessary repairs.

By minimizing costs, we can provide you with the highest offer possible.

3. We Make You An Offer.

Once we’ve completed our assessment, we present you with our offer. We are transparent in our process and provide a detailed explanation of how we arrived at the offer. We share the findings from our repairs assessment and the Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of your market. This offer is presented with no obligation to accept. You have the freedom to either accept or decline the offer at no cost to you.

If you choose to accept the offer, we can discuss a closing date where you will receive your cash, and the transaction will be complete. Congratulations, you’ve just sold your house without any hassle, fees, or commissions!

15. Here is a popular question:

How many houses do you buy and what will you do with my house?

We get this question  – all – the – time!!

We buy a lot of houses! What do we do with them? It’s straightforward. We purchase, renovate, and then sell them again for a profit. Through our efforts, we revitalize and rejuvenate neighborhoods. It’s beneficial for the residents, positive for the economy, and a win-win for everyone involved!
