Hi, I’m Max Cohen, and I lead FL Home Buyers. I’ve been working with houses in Florida since around 2014, and as a licensed general contractor, I see homes through a different lens. In Milton, many homes are that classic brick ranch style from the 60s and 70s, which often means dealing with things like aging galvanized pipes or original electrical. We understand these specific issues here in Santa Rosa County.
My contractor background means our offers are grounded in real numbers—what it actually costs to fix things up, not just a guess. We've helped many Milton families move past inherited messes, manage rough rental properties, or navigate storm and insurance problems. We focus on a clear, simple approach: no games, just a fair cash offer so you can move forward. As seen on CBS12, FOX, ABC7, WFLX, we're a local name you can trust.
Code enforcement can be tough in Milton, especially if you've got an older property in areas like Bagdad or Pea Ridge. Maybe there’s an unpermitted shed, tall grass, or a fence that's seen better days. You know the drill—those letters from the county start piling up. Fixing them costs time and money you might not have, and it can stall any traditional sale. We handle all those code issues for you, making sure you don't have to spend another dime or stress about meeting deadlines.

Living in Milton means understanding hurricane season. From roof damage to fence lines blowing down, storms can leave a real mess. Dealing with insurance claims can be a headache all its own, often dragging on for months. You might be left with a damaged home and no clear path forward. We buy properties as-is, even with significant storm or flood damage, so you don't have to fight with adjusters or oversee costly repairs yourself.

Inheriting a house can be a blessing, but often it comes with unexpected burdens.

It’s a lot to manage, especially when you’re already dealing with loss. We offer a sensitive, clear path to sell these properties quickly for cash, even if they’re full of old belongings or haven’t been updated in years.

Seller's Market
Milton is a balanced market, but speed matters!
Tired of Waiting? While Milton homes sell, the market can be picky. Open houses, constant showings, and months of waiting for a financed buyer just isn’t for everyone.
Pickier Buyers? Higher interest rates mean traditional buyers in Milton have stricter loan approvals and often demand more repairs. Your home might get overlooked if it's not "move-in ready."
A Clear Path Forward. We offer a calm, numbers-first plan instead of more chaos. You avoid the stress of an uncertain sale and get a guaranteed closing.
When the usual route feels like too much, we offer a simple way to move on without repairs.
The first step is easy. Just call us at (561) 258-9405 or fill out the form above. We'll have a quick, no-pressure chat about your Milton property. We'll listen to your situation and understand what you need.
Next, Max Cohen, our licensed contractor, will do a simple walkthrough. This can be in person or virtual, whatever is easiest for you. We look at the house as-is, from potential water damage to an inherited property full of stuff. We'll then present a clear, no-obligation cash offer, usually within 24-48 hours.
If our offer works for you, we'll arrange to close on your preferred date at a reputable Florida title company right here in Santa Rosa County. We pay cash, cover typical closing costs, and you walk away with money in your pocket. No repairs needed, no cleaning, just a smooth exit.
Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning the process goes through the courts. This generally takes longer than in non-judicial states, often around 8-10 months, but it can vary. If you're behind on payments in Milton, the first step is usually a Notice of Default from your lender.
After that, the lender will file a lawsuit with the Santa Rosa County Clerk of Courts. This is where things get serious. There's a period for you to respond, and eventually, a judge will issue a final judgment of foreclosure, leading to an auction sale. Getting a cash offer can help you avoid this entire public process and protect your credit. We buy houses in Milton even when facing pre-foreclosure.
When you need to sell your house fast for cash in Milton, especially one that needs work, those repair costs can add up quickly. Think about the common issues we see in older homes around Avalon Beach or Allentown.

When you sell real estate, regardless of whether it's a cash sale or traditional, the transaction is reported to the IRS by the title company on Form 1099-S.

We are not tax advisors, so we strongly recommend consulting with a qualified CPA or tax professional to understand your individual tax implications.
