I'm Max Cohen, and I've been helping folks sell their Florida homes directly for cash since 2014, with FL Home Buyers running under our current name since 2019. Around Wabasso, I've seen many homes, especially the sturdy concrete block houses from the '60s and '70s. These are often great homes, but after years of Florida weather and use, things like old **cast iron plumbing** can cause real headaches. I understand the costs and effort involved in these repairs because I'm a Licensed General Contractor.
This background means when I give you an offer, it’s based on real renovation numbers, not just a guess. It’s an honest, fair assessment, which often makes us the preferred cash home buyers near me. We've helped many families in Indian River County and Wabasso navigate tough situations – whether it’s an inherited house full of memories but needing work, a rental property with challenging tenants, or dealing with unexpected storm damage and insurance claims.
As Max Cohen, Licensed General Contractor and founder of FL Home Buyers, explains: "Selling a house 'as-is' here in Florida is often the fastest, most predictable route for homeowners facing significant repairs or time constraints. We bridge the gap between a distressed property and its full potential, offering a truly clear path forward."
Inheriting a house in North Wabasso can be a mixed blessing. You might have fond memories, but often the property needs significant work, or you're stuck dealing with the Indian River County Clerk of Court for probate. Managing repairs, legal details, and finding a buyer from out of state adds a lot of stress. We can offer a clear path out of probate or landlord drama.

Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning the lender must go through the court system to foreclose on a property. This process can be lengthy, often taking around **270 days** from the first missed payment to a final sale. During this time, you still own the house and can explore options like a cash sale.
It’s a stressful time, and the Indian River County Clerk of Court will be involved every step of the way. If you’re behind on payments or facing pre-foreclosure, time is critical. A quick cash sale can help you avoid the public record of foreclosure and protect your credit. We're here to help you understand your options and give you a simple way to move on.

When you sell any real estate, including a cash sale in Florida, the transaction is reported to the IRS by the closing title company via Form 1099-S.
