Max Cohen, Licensed General Contractor and Founder of FL Home Buyers

Meet Max Cohen: Your Local Cocoa Home Buyer

I'm Max Cohen, and I’ve been buying houses in Florida, including Cocoa and across Brevard County, since around 2014. As a Licensed General Contractor, I see the bones of a house differently. When we walk through your property, whether it's an older Florida Ranch in Canaveral Groves or a concrete block home near Historic Cocoa Village, I'm not just looking at paint colors. I'm seeing the true cost of repairing common issues like **cast iron pipes**, aging roofs, or dealing with **unpermitted additions**.

This contractor background means our cash offers are always realistic and fair. We don't guess; we know the numbers. We’ve helped many folks in Cocoa move on from inherited messes, rough rental properties, and homes with storm damage or ongoing insurance headaches, giving them a straightforward way to be done with the headache. As seen on CBS12, FOX, ABC7, WFLX, we believe in plain talk and clear numbers.

The Real Cocoa Problems We Solve

What the Cocoa Market Looks Like Right Now

Cocoa's Market Pulse:

Buyer's Market Balanced Seller's Market

Right now, the Cocoa market is leaning a bit towards buyers. Homes still sell, but buyers are pickier, and cash offers stand out. This means traditional listings can take longer and often require more concessions from sellers, especially for homes that need work or have lingering issues like **water/mold damage**.

  • Tired of Waiting? Many homes in Cocoa, especially older ones, are staying on the market longer than sellers expect. Showings, open houses, and waiting for financing approvals can drag on for months.

  • Pickier Buyers? Higher interest rates mean fewer qualified buyers and more stringent bank appraisals. This makes it harder to sell properties that need work or have deferred maintenance, like those in West Cocoa.

  • Direct Path Forward: A direct cash buyer like FL Home Buyers offers a calm, numbers-first plan instead of more chaos. We skip the banks and inspections, giving you certainty.

We offer a no-pressure option when listing just feels like too much.

Understanding Florida Foreclosure & Property Costs in Cocoa

Florida Foreclosure: What Cocoa Homeowners Need to Know

If you're facing foreclosure or are behind on mortgage payments in Cocoa, it's a stressful time. Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning the lender has to go through the courts. This process can be lengthy, often taking **200-300+ days** from the first missed payment to a final sale, but it moves faster once a lawsuit is filed.

The Brevard County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller handles these cases. It's critical to act fast if you receive a notice. Selling your house quickly for cash can often be a way to avoid foreclosure entirely, save your credit, and get some equity out of your home before it's too late. We can move on your timeline to help.

Don't let the process overwhelm you. Even if you're in pre-foreclosure, we can still often help you sell your house fast in Cocoa.

Repair Costs vs. Selling As-Is in Cocoa

Many older homes in Cocoa have deferred maintenance or common Florida issues. Fixing them can eat into your equity and time. Here's a look at common issues versus selling your house as-is to us:

Common Cocoa Issue Estimated Repair Cost Selling As-Is (FL Home Buyers)
Cast Iron Pipes Replacement $8,000 – $15,000+ Zero
Aging Roof Repair/Replacement $7,000 – $20,000+ Zero
Foundation Settling / Cracks $5,000 – $30,000+ Zero
Unpermitted Work Remediation $2,000 – $10,000+ Zero

Common Questions About Selling Your Cocoa House for Cash

Are cash home buyers legit in Cocoa?

Yes, many cash home buyers in Cocoa are legitimate. Look for companies with strong local ties, clear communication, and a history of successful closings through Florida title companies. We’re BBB A+ Accredited here in Cocoa, FL, and focus on transparent dealings without hidden fees.

How much do cash home buyers typically offer in Cocoa?

Cash offers are based on your home’s 'as-is' condition, current market values in Cocoa, and the estimated cost of repairs needed. We evaluate each property carefully and provide a fair, no-obligation offer that reflects these factors. Our goal is to give you a clear, competitive number.

How fast can you sell a house as-is in Cocoa?

We can typically close on your Cocoa home in as little as 7-14 days if that fits your timeline. However, we're flexible and can adjust to your schedule, whether you need a quick sale or a bit more time, sometimes up to 60 days or more.

Can you close in 2 weeks in Florida?

Absolutely. If all the paperwork is in order and you're ready, we can often close on a house in Florida within two weeks. Our streamlined process and direct cash funding mean we don't rely on bank approvals or lengthy appraisals, making quick closings possible.

We don't charge any commissions or hidden fees. In most cases, we also cover the standard closing costs associated with selling your house in Cocoa, saving you even more money. The offer we give you is the cash you walk away with.

What documents do I need for a cash sale in Florida?

Generally, you'll need proof of ownership (like your deed), a photo ID, and any relevant documents concerning liens, mortgages, or HOA fees. If it's an inherited property, probate documents will be important. Our title company will guide you through everything.

What are the risks with ‘we buy houses’ companies, and how do I protect myself?

Some risks include lowball offers or hidden fees. Protect yourself by vetting companies: check for BBB accreditation, local reviews, and insist on clear, written offers from a legitimate Florida LLC. Always close with a reputable local title company, as we do. For real cash home buyers reviews, check our testimonials and BBB profile.

Can I sell without repairs or inspections?

Yes, that's exactly what we offer. We buy houses in Cocoa in their current 'as-is' condition. You won't need to make any repairs, clean up, or worry about inspections holding up the sale. We take care of any issues after closing.

Can you buy a tenant-occupied house in Cocoa?

Absolutely. If you're a tired landlord in Cocoa dealing with bad tenants, or just want to sell an investment property with renters, we can help. We buy tenant-occupied homes and will handle the transition directly with the tenants after closing, making it stress-free for you.

Can you buy an inherited or probate house in Cocoa?

Yes, inherited and probate properties are one of our specialties. We understand the complexities involved with these situations in Brevard County. We can provide a straightforward cash offer and help you navigate the process, even if the estate is still in probate.

How do cash home buyers work?

The process is simple: You contact us, we schedule a quick walkthrough (in person or virtual) to assess the property, and then we present you with a fair, no-obligation cash offer. If you accept, we close on your timeline through a trusted Florida title company. That’s how we buy houses for cash, clear and simple.

How do cash home buyers make money?

We make money by purchasing houses below market value, investing in repairs and renovations, and then reselling them. Our experience as licensed general contractors means we accurately estimate renovation costs, allowing us to offer you a fair price for your as-is home. This allows us to sell house fast for cash to new owners after our work is done.

If I sell for cash in Florida, is it reported to the IRS or does capital gains tax apply?

Yes, any sale of real estate in Florida is typically reported to the IRS via Form 1099-S. Capital gains tax may apply depending on your specific financial situation, how long you've owned the property, and whether it was your primary residence. We are not tax advisors, so we strongly recommend consulting with a qualified CPA or tax professional to understand your individual tax obligations.

What if my Cocoa house has code violations or unpermitted work?

Code violations and unpermitted work, common in older parts of Cocoa and Brevard County, are no problem for us. As licensed contractors, we're experienced in handling these issues directly. We buy houses as-is, meaning you don't need to spend time or money fixing anything.

Can I stay in my house after closing?

Yes, we often work out arrangements where sellers can stay in their Cocoa home for a period after closing if they need more time to move or find a new place. Just let us know your needs, and we'll factor it into our offer and closing terms.

What if I have multiple liens or back taxes on my property?

Dealing with liens, judgments, or back taxes can be overwhelming, especially in Brevard County. We can often help. Our title company will identify all outstanding issues, and we can typically incorporate these into our cash offer, helping you resolve them at closing.
