A Contractor Who Knows Lake County
Howey-in-the-Hills is a small incorporated town on the shores of Lake Harris, best known for the Mission Inn Resort and what's left of the original Howey citrus empire. I've bought properties in Howey-in-the-Hills across a range of situations: estate sales from families who built here in the 1950s, waterfront properties with aging seawalls, and houses that sat vacant after the owners moved to assisted living. As a licensed general contractor, I know what renovation work costs in this market, and I make offers that reflect reality.
We use standard FAR/BAR "As-Is" contracts and close with Lake County title companies.
Selling a House in Howey-in-the-Hills? Here's What We See.
Howey-in-the-Hills was developed in the 1920s by William Howey as a citrus and resort destination. The original town layout and much of the housing stock reflect that era, which means you'll find properties here with old plumbing, outdated electrical, and original construction that hasn't been touched since Eisenhower. Lake Harris waterfront properties face a different set of challenges: seawall maintenance, dock replacement costs, and flood insurance requirements that stop most conventional buyers before they get started. The town is small enough that when a property comes to market, everyone knows it immediately, but small markets also mean fewer cash buyers who understand the local quirks. We've closed on Howey-in-the-Hills properties other buyers passed on because of condition, estate complications, or waterfront issues we priced accurately and handled ourselves.

Why Howey-in-the-Hills Homeowners Call Us
Lake Harris Waterfront Costs
Seawall repair, dock replacement, and mandatory flood insurance stop conventional buyers from closing on many Howey waterfront properties. We pay cash, so those costs stay in our calculation, not the buyer's financing. Learn more →
1920s-1950s Construction
Original Howey-era homes often have galvanized plumbing, 60-amp electrical panels, and uninsulated construction that fails modern inspection. We don't require repairs. Learn more →
Estate and Vacation Properties
Many Howey-in-the-Hills properties were second homes or vacation retreats. When they move through estates, heirs often need a fast, clean sale without the complexity of listing an out-of-town property. Learn more →
