Yes, FL Home Buyers is a legitimate, Florida-based company led by a Licensed General Contractor, Max Cohen. We’ve been buying houses locally since 2014, and our company is BBB A+ Accredited here in Trenton, FL. We close with local Florida title companies for your safety and peace of mind.

Our offers in Trenton are based on the 'after repair value' of your house, minus the cost of repairs and a small profit margin. We aim for clear, fair numbers. Unlike some buyers, our offers reflect our contractor background, so we know real rehab costs.

We can close on your Trenton house in as little as 7 days, or up to 60 days if you need more time. The exact timeline depends on your unique situation and how quickly we can get clear title. We work on your schedule, not ours.

Absolutely, yes. While 7 days is our fastest, a 2-week closing is very common for us if the title is clear and all parties are ready. We move quickly and efficiently because we use cash and don’t rely on bank financing.

We never charge any fees or commissions. The cash offer we give you is what you get, plain and simple. We also typically cover standard closing costs, saving you even more money compared to a traditional listing.

Generally, you'll need the property deed, any mortgage statements (if applicable), and your photo ID. For inherited properties, probate documents might be necessary. We guide you through everything and work with the title company to handle the paperwork.

The main risks are lowball offers, hidden fees, or buyers backing out. To protect yourself, always choose a local company with a strong reputation, like FL Home Buyers. Look for BBB accreditation, transparent offers, and make sure they close with a reputable local title company, not just a lawyer or private party.

Yes, that’s our specialty. We buy houses in Trenton completely as-is. You don't need to fix a thing, clean anything, or worry about passing inspections. We handle all the repairs, no matter how big or small, after we buy.

Absolutely. If you’re a tired landlord in Trenton dealing with difficult tenants or just want to offload a rental property, we can buy it with the tenants in place. You don't have to worry about evictions or managing the transition; we take care of it.

Yes, we have extensive experience with inherited and probate properties in Florida. We can help you navigate the complexities of selling a house after a loved one has passed, even if probate isn't complete. It’s a clear path out of that particular headache.

We start with a quick chat about your property. Then, we schedule a brief visit to assess its condition. Based on that, we present a no-obligation cash offer. If you accept, we sign a purchase agreement and close on your timeline at a local title company.

We make money by buying houses at a price that allows us to cover renovation costs, pay holding costs, and resell the house for a profit after repairs. Because Max Cohen is a licensed general contractor, we can often rehab more efficiently, which helps us make competitive offers.

Yes, all real estate transactions are reported to the IRS by the closing agent. Capital gains tax may apply if you sell your home for more than you bought it for, minus qualified expenses. It’s important to speak with a qualified CPA or tax professional to understand your specific tax situation. We can't give tax advice, but we can make the sale process simple.

We buy houses with code violations all the time. Whether it’s unpermitted work, tall grass fines, or structural issues, we’ll handle all the headaches and costs of bringing the property up to code after we purchase it. You don't need to worry about the Gilchrist County code enforcement.

Our BBB A+ Accreditation here in Trenton, FL means we meet high standards for trustworthiness and customer service. It shows our commitment to integrity and transparent dealings. You can be confident you’re working with a reputable company dedicated to a fair and honest process.
