"Offload problem property quickly, avoid further legal fees, move on with retirement."The Challenge: "The Before"
Mr. Garcia, an absentee landlord residing in New York, owned a rental property at 1234 Eagle Creek Drive in Kissimmee, Florida. He had initially enjoyed years of smooth tenancy, but recently, his long-term tenants had stopped paying rent, ceased communication, and, as we would soon discover, severely neglected and damaged the property. For months, Mr. Garcia felt powerless, stuck miles away with a property he couldn't manage.
When we first walked into this house in Kissimmee, the situation was immediately apparent. The smell of stale cigarette smoke and pet urine was pervasive. Piles of trash littered every room, broken kitchen cabinet doors hung loosely, and holes were punched into several drywall sections. The master bathroom toilet was non-functional, leading to extensive water damage around its base. It was clear the tenants had no respect for the property.
Beyond the interior chaos, the property faced external issues. The yard was severely overgrown, with weeds reaching waist-high, and the exterior fascia paint was peeling badly. City of Kissimmee Code Enforcement had issued multiple red notices, compounding Mr. Garcia's stress with potential fines. The 1978 concrete block construction still had its original plumbing, now failing, and the roof was well past its useful life, active leaks only adding to the interior water damage. Mr. Garcia was desperate to sell fast, without the headache of eviction or repairs.
The Solution: "Our Approach"
Understanding Mr. Garcia's predicament, our approach was straightforward and empathetic. We assessed the property's condition comprehensively, factoring in not just the tenant damage but also the deferred maintenance, code violations, and needed structural repairs.
We didn't ask Mr. Garcia to handle any aspect of the cleanup or repairs, nor did we require him to pursue the lengthy and often costly eviction process. Instead, we presented a transparent, all-cash offer that detailed our calculated rehab costs for a full interior gut, plumbing overhaul, new roof, and exterior improvements. We even handled the "cash for keys" negotiation directly with the tenants, ensuring a swift and peaceful vacancy for Mr. Garcia.
This meant no realtor commissions, no staging, no open houses, and absolutely no further out-of-pocket expenses for Mr. Garcia. Our offer provided a clean break from a truly nightmarish situation, offering certainty and speed when he needed it most in Kissimmee.
The Result: "The After"
The relief for Mr. Garcia was palpable. Within 21 days of accepting our offer, we closed the deal at Old Republic Title in Kissimmee on his preferred timeline. He received his cash payment and was finally free from the burden of his Kissimmee rental property.
"After months of frustration, Max and FL Home Buyers bought my Kissimmee rental. They took care of everything – the tenants, the mess, the repairs. It was such a relief not to deal with it anymore. Max was honest about everything. Highly recommend."
