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

When you sell a property for cash in Florida, the sale is reported to the IRS by the closing agent using Form 1099-S.

We always recommend consulting with a qualified CPA or tax advisor for personalized tax advice regarding your specific sale.

FL Home Buyers vs. Listing with an Agent

Selling your house in Palm Coast the traditional way means paying agent commissions. For a median-priced home around $360,000 here, that's roughly $21,600 in agent fees alone.

With FL Home Buyers, you skip all that. We pay cash, cover standard closing costs, and there are absolutely no commissions or hidden fees. We also buy as-is, so you save on costly repairs and upgrades that agents often push for.

The Real Palm Coast Problems We Solve

Code Violations & Unpermitted Work

Palm Coast neighborhoods like Pine Lakes sometimes have older properties with unpermitted sheds, overgrown landscaping, or exterior wear that attracts city fines. Dealing with code enforcement in Flagler County can be a constant headache. We buy houses with existing violations, saving you the stress, time, and money of getting everything up to code.
