A Contractor Who Knows Lake County
Sorrento is spread across the rolling terrain between Mount Dora and Mount Plymouth, and it's one of Lake County's horse country communities. The area is a mix of older ranchettes on multi-acre parcels and newer subdivisions that went in during the 2000s building boom. I've been buying in Lake County since 2014, and Sorrento calls tend to come from two situations: families dealing with a foreclosure on an underwater property from the boom era, or heirs who've inherited an older ranchette with a failing well and deferred maintenance. As a State Certified General Contractor (CGC1534000), I price the work myself before making an offer. That's why our offers don't fall apart after inspection.
We use standard FAR/BAR "As-Is" contracts and close with Lake County title companies.
Selling a House in Sorrento? Here's What We See.
Sorrento straddles CR-437 between Mount Dora and the rural areas east toward Wekiwa Springs. The community has two distinct housing markets that create two distinct sets of problems. The older part of Sorrento is horse country: ranchettes built in the 1970s through 1990s on 2-10 acre lots with barns, pole buildings, and fenced pastures. These properties run on well water and septic, and many have additions or outbuildings built without permits over the decades. The newer side of Sorrento saw rapid subdivision development in the mid-2000s, and some of those homeowners are still dealing with the aftermath. Properties bought at peak prices in 2005 or 2006 that ended up underwater, modified loans that are still difficult to manage, or foreclosures that are finally working through the system. We buy both types. Whether it's an inherited ranchette that needs $40,000 in deferred repairs or a subdivision home facing foreclosure, we'll make a cash offer and close quickly through Lake County title companies.

Why Sorrento Homeowners Call Us
Foreclosure and Underwater Mortgages
Many Sorrento subdivision homes were bought during the 2005-2006 peak. Some owners are still dealing with modified loans, short sale situations, or active foreclosure proceedings. We can close before the sale date. Learn more →
Inherited Ranchettes with Deferred Maintenance
Large ranchette properties with aging barns, failing wells, and decades of unpermitted additions are hard to list traditionally. We buy the full parcel as-is, outbuildings included. Learn more →
Unpermitted Additions and Construction
Older Sorrento properties often have rooms, garages, or outbuildings added without permits. This creates title and insurance problems for traditional sales. We handle permitting issues after closing. Learn more →
