No repairs. No fees. No obligation.
Hey, I'm Max Cohen. Before I was buying houses all over Florida, I was a Licensed General Contractor. That background means I see a property like yours in Old Miakka with a clear eye. When we look at a place, whether it's an older stucco ranch or a manufactured home, we're thinking about real repair costs for things like those aging septic systems common here, or fixing up after a long hurricane season.
We don't play games with lowball offers or hidden fees. We give you solid numbers based on what it actually costs to fix things up, not some wild guess. Since 2014, my team and I have helped over 100 Florida homeowners sell house fast for cash, including folks right here in Sarasota County who needed a simple way out of inherited property headaches, problem tenants, or properties damaged by storms. We’re focused on making it straightforward for you to move on.
With FL Home Buyers

As Max Cohen, Licensed General Contractor and founder of FL Home Buyers, explains: "In rural areas like Old Miakka, homes often come with unique challenges—from aging infrastructure to unpermitted structures. My contracting background allows us to assess these issues accurately and make a fair cash offer quickly, without asking sellers to shoulder the burden of costly repairs."
Dealing with an inherited property in Old Miakka can be a lot, especially if it's been in the family for generations and needs significant updates or is still in probate. Maybe it's an old family ranch out past Miakka Village, and you live out of state. We understand the emotional and financial drain, and we offer a clear path to resolve things.

It's not uncommon for older properties in rural areas of Old Miakka, especially those built before modern zoning, to have unpermitted additions, sheds, or modifications. Sarasota County code enforcement can be strict, leading to fines or orders to demolish. We buy these properties as-is, taking on the responsibility for resolving any outstanding code issues so you don't have to.

Living in Old Miakka means preparing for hurricane season, and sometimes, the damage can be extensive. Maybe your roof needs serious work, or you've dealt with flood water from the Myakka River during a big storm. Dealing with insurance claims can be a nightmare. We buy properties with storm damage, active claims, or denied claims, offering a solution when you're tired of the drama.

Old Miakka is a special place, often a bit different from the bustle of Sarasota. Properties here, especially those with acreage or unique features, can take a while to find the right buyer. If you’ve been hoping to sell your house quickly, you might be facing the realities of a market that takes its time.
Market Speedometer for Old Miakka Homes
The needle is often leaning towards buyers, especially for homes that need work or are off the beaten path.
Tired of Waiting? Listing a house in Old Miakka can mean weeks, sometimes months, of waiting for the right buyer. That's a lot of open houses and showing prep, especially if your property is a little outside the usual market.
Pickier Buyers? With interest rates shifting, traditional buyers are often pickier. They want move-in ready, and getting bank financing for a property needing major repairs, like a new septic system, can be tough.
Need a Simple Path? A direct cash buyer offers a calm, numbers-first plan instead of more chaos, letting you skip the headaches of an uncertain market and complex sales. It's about getting to closing on your timeline.
We offer a simple way to move on without repairs.
The first step is easy. Just reach out to us with some basic info about your Old Miakka property. We'll have a quick, no-pressure chat to understand your situation, whether it's an inherited home you're ready to sell or a tired rental property.
Next, we'll schedule a fast walkthrough of your house – either in person or virtually, whatever works best. We buy houses for cash and always buy as-is, so don't worry about cleaning or repairs. Soon after, you'll get a fair, written cash offer based on real numbers, with no hidden fees or obligations.
If our offer works for you, we move forward. We close on your preferred date at a reputable Florida title company right here in the Sarasota County area. We handle all the paperwork and typically cover standard closing costs, making the process smooth and stress-free. It's a straightforward way to be done with the headache.
Facing foreclosure on your Old Miakka property can be incredibly stressful. In Florida, foreclosure is a judicial process, meaning it goes through the courts. This can take anywhere from 7 to 8 months, sometimes longer, giving you some time to act but also adding to the pressure. The Sarasota County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller is where these filings happen, and understanding their process is key.
Don't wait until the last minute. If you're behind on payments or have a pre-foreclosure notice, getting a cash offer now can provide a clean exit, protect your credit, and avoid the public process of a foreclosure sale. We can help you navigate this complex situation with dignity and speed.
Considering repairs for your Old Miakka home? It adds up quickly, especially with older systems or storm damage. Here's a look at common issues and potential costs, compared to a simple as-is sale:
