Sell Your House Fast in Florida.
Homes across the state are sitting on the market for an average of 52+ days. We offer a clean exit from a stressful house.
No repairs. No fees. No obligation.
Real Numbers. No Florida Fluff.
I’ve been buying and renovating houses in Florida since 2014. I know what the salt air does to HVAC condensers in Fort Lauderdale and what the humidity does to wood frames in Orlando. Because I’m a State Certified General Contractor, I don't need to guess at repair costs or play games. I give you a number I can stand behind.
We use standard FAR/BAR "As-Is" contracts and close with reputable Florida Title Companies.
The Real Florida Problems We Solve
Dropped by Insurance?
Thousands of Florida homeowners are getting "non-renewal" notices. If your roof is over 15 years old, most buyers can't get coverage. We buy cash, so we don't need insurance to close.

Probate from Out of State
Dealing with a Florida County Clerk from New York or Ohio is stressful. We buy inherited homes as-is, so you don't have to fly down to clean out a dusty house.
Our probate process →
Tired of Being a Landlord
Between rising taxes, insurance hikes, and tenant laws, the profit margin on Florida rentals is shrinking. We buy rental properties with or without tenants in place.

Florida Market Heat Check
Inventory is rising statewide as insurance costs force sales.
-
The "4-Point" Trap. If your electrical panel, plumbing, roof, or HVAC is old, buyers can't get insurance, and your deal dies.
-
Repairs are expensive. With labor costs up across the state, fixing a house to "market ready" standards costs a fortune.
-
We keep it simple. We don't need bank approval or a 4-point inspection. We just buy the house.
It’s a straightforward way to be done with the headache.

If you accept our cash offer, we open escrow with a local title company and wire you the funds on closing day.
The Official Florida Selling Timeline
The Contract
We typically use the standard Florida FAR/BAR "As-Is" Contract. This is the same contract realtors use, but we strike out the inspection contingencies so you know the deal is solid.
Title Search & Estoppel
We send the contract to a licensed Florida Title Company. They run a "Municipal Lien Search" to check for open permits or code violations and order an "Estoppel" letter if you have an HOA.
Closing & Funding
You sign the closing docs (in person or with a mobile notary). The title company records the deed with the County Clerk and wires the cash directly to your bank account.
The Cost of Selling the Traditional Way
Listing a house in Florida isn't just about sticking a sign in the yard. You have to deal with the "4-Point Inspection" (Roof, HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing). If your electrical panel is an old Federal Pacific or your plumbing is cast iron, many buyers can't get insurance, and your deal falls apart.
Plus, Florida is a judicial foreclosure state. If you are behind on payments, the court process can be long, but the clock is ticking. Selling before the auction date is the only way to protect your equity.

| New Shingle Roof | $18,000+ | $0 |

Common Questions About Selling in Florida
Do I need to clean the house before you buy it?
Not at all. Take what you want and leave the rest. We have cleaned out plenty of garages, attics, and sheds in Florida. It's part of what we do.
Can you buy my house if I have tenants?
Yes. If you have tenants (even if they aren't paying rent), we can buy the property with the lease in place. We understand Florida landlord-tenant laws and can take over the situation so you don't have to evict them.
What if I am behind on taxes or mortgage payments?
We can usually help. We work with title companies that specialize in clearing liens and back taxes. The amount owed is simply deducted from the sale price at closing, and the rest goes to you.
How is this different from listing with an agent?
Agents market your house to find a buyer, which takes time and commissions. We are the buyer. You skip the showings, the 6% fee, and the waiting. We buy directly from you.
Does the condition of the roof matter?
In Florida, a bad roof usually means you can't get insurance, which scares off most buyers. Since we pay cash, we don't need insurance to close. We buy houses with original roofs, leaks, and storm damage all the time.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We are based in Miami Beach and operate across the state. Max is a licensed Florida General Contractor. We aren't some faceless call center; we're your neighbors.
