Tired of waiting? On average, homes in Avon Park sit on the market for days. We offer a simple way to move on without repairs.
Local Florida buyer. Licensed contractor. BBB A+ Accredited. Backed by real renovation numbers in Highlands County.
I’m Max Cohen, and I’ve been working with Florida homes, including many in Central Florida, for years. I’m a licensed general contractor, which means when I look at a house in Avon Park – maybe one of those concrete block ranches near the Depot Museum – I see more than just a property.
I see the potential, but also the real costs behind issues like aging **cast iron pipes** or an outdated roof. That expertise lets FL Home Buyers give you an honest cash offer, grounded in actual rehab numbers, not just guesswork. It means we don’t have to back out or renegotiate because of surprises after an inspection. We get it right the first time.
We’ve helped folks all over Highlands County with everything from inherited properties that became too much to handle, to rough rentals near Lake Olivia, and even homes that faced storm and insurance problems. My goal is always to make selling simple and stress-free for you. As seen on CBS12, FOX, ABC7, WFLX.
"In Central Florida, many older homes in areas like Avon Park come with hidden maintenance issues, especially with plumbing or older HVAC systems. A cash buyer who understands these costs upfront can offer a much smoother sale, saving sellers weeks of headaches and unexpected expenses." — Max Cohen, Licensed General Contractor & Founder of FL Home Buyers
"We’ve seen a rise in 'as-is' transactions in Highlands County over the past year. With shifting interest rates, traditional buyers are more hesitant to take on properties that need significant work. Direct cash buyers fill a real need for sellers who just want to move on without the hassle." — Local Real Estate Analyst, Highlands County
Dealing with an inherited house in Avon Park can be a huge headache, especially if you live out of state or have family disagreements. Maybe it’s an older home near Main Street Historic District that hasn't been updated in decades, or it needs a full clean-out. The probate process alone with the Highlands County Clerk of Courts can be long and confusing. We offer a simple way to sell and close that chapter.

The Avon Park market, like much of Florida, has its own pace. Sometimes it's quick, other times, homes linger, especially if they need work.
Right now, Avon Park feels a bit more balanced than in recent years. It's not a blazing seller's market, but not a deep buyer's market either. Condition and price matter more than ever.
Tired of Waiting? Listing traditionally in Avon Park means dozens of showings, open houses, and your house sitting on the market for an average of days. You don’t have to live through that.
Picky Buyers? Higher interest rates mean buyers often expect perfect, move-in ready homes. Properties that need work, or have common Avon Park issues like a 1970s kitchen or older cast iron pipes, get overlooked quickly.

Florida operates as a judicial foreclosure state, which means the process goes through the courts. In Highlands County, this typically takes between 200 to 240 days from the initial missed payment to the final sale, though it can vary. The Highlands County Clerk of Courts handles these proceedings. If you're behind on payments, time is crucial, and understanding the legal steps is vital.
It’s a stressful situation, but there are options to avoid a full foreclosure on your record. Exploring a cash sale can often provide a solution to stop foreclosure proceedings on your house in Avon Park, Florida, allowing you to walk away with some equity rather than nothing.
