Backed by real renovation numbers in St. Johns County.
I'm Max Cohen, a Florida Licensed General Contractor, and I've been helping folks sell their houses quickly here in Florida since around 2014. For a lot of homes in St. Augustine Beach, especially the concrete block construction from the 70s and 80s, issues like aging galvanized plumbing or dated electrical panels are common. When I walk through a property, I see it not just as a buyer, but as someone who understands the real costs of repairs. That perspective means my cash offers are always honest and grounded in real renovation numbers. Whether you're dealing with an inherited property, a rough rental, or storm and insurance problems near the St. Johns County Ocean Pier, we're here to help you find a fair solution.
"Many St. Augustine Beach homeowners are tired of the constant battle with old systems or the looming threat of hurricane season," says Max Cohen. "We provide a direct, no-hassle offer that bypasses all those typical selling headaches."

Dealing with a property you inherited can be overwhelming, especially if it's far from the condition you remember or if probate is dragging on at the St. Johns County Clerk of Court. We often talk to families in St. Augustine Beach who are just tired of managing an empty house, paying property taxes, or dealing with repair estimates. We offer a clear cash-out plan that lets you breathe again, closing quickly so you can settle the estate without more stress.

The St. Augustine Beach market has its own rhythm. Right now, things feel a bit slower than a few years ago. Rising interest rates mean buyers are more cautious, and they’re looking for homes that are move-in ready. That means if your house needs work, or if it has some quirks, it might sit on the market longer than you expect. Traditional listings can get stuck in a cycle of inspections, low appraisals, and buyer financing falling through.
Currently leaning towards a balanced market with seller advantages slowing down.
Tired of Waiting? While St. Augustine Beach is popular, buyers for homes needing significant repairs can be hard to find, leading to long listing times and endless showings.
Interest Rate Impact: Higher interest rates mean fewer buyers qualify for loans and those who do are often pickier, driving down offers for anything less than perfect.
Your Calm Solution: We offer a local buyer who helps you close the chapter without the chaos of a traditional sale, making it easy to sell house fast for cash here in St. Augustine Beach.

Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning the process goes through the courts. This typically means the process can take around 180 to 270 days, sometimes longer. If you're behind on payments or facing a potential foreclosure in St. Augustine Beach, the St. Johns County Clerk of Court handles these proceedings. Ignoring the paperwork or notices from the clerk's office won't make it go away. We can often step in quickly to buy your home, potentially stopping foreclosure and protecting your credit, offering a clean exit from a stressful house.
Beyond foreclosure, properties in St. Augustine Beach can sometimes have tax liens, HOA liens, or other judgments that complicate a sale. We're experienced in navigating these issues and can often clear them as part of our cash purchase, taking the burden off your shoulders.
