The Probate Clock is Ticking
Probate in Florida typically takes 6-12 months, sometimes longer. During that time, you're responsible for property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities. If multiple heirs are involved, getting everyone to agree can be nearly impossible. The longer you wait, the more it costs.

Real Example
A family inherited a house in Fort Lauderdale after their mother passed away. Three siblings lived in different states. They couldn't agree on repairs or listing price. The house was worth $250,000 but needed work. We bought it for $220,000, handled the cleanout, and closed in 30 days. Each sibling got their share wired directly. No arguments. No travel.
Common Questions About Selling Your House
How Can I Sell My House Fast For Cash?
The fastest route is selling to a cash buyer or investor. Unlike traditional buyers who need 30-45 days for mortgage approval, cash buyers like FL Home Buyers have the funds ready. We can typically close in 7 days, or on your specific timeline, because we skip the appraisals and bank inspections.
What is the 3-3-3 Rule in Real Estate?
The 3-3-3 rule is a general timeline expectation: 3 days to respond to an offer, 3 weeks for inspections and financing approval, and 3 months to close. When you sell to us, we break this rule—we can often offer in 24 hours and close in as little as 7 days.
What is the commission on a $500,000 house?
In a traditional sale, you typically pay 6% in agent commissions. On a $500k house, that is $30,000 directly out of your pocket, plus closing costs. When selling to FL Home Buyers, you pay zero commissions and we cover the closing costs.
What is the 20% rule in house flipping?
Investors often aim for a profit margin of around 20% after repairs to account for market risk. This helps determine the Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO). We are transparent about our numbers—we factor in repairs and a fair margin, often beating national franchise offers because we are local.
What is the 7% rule in real estate?
The 7% rule suggests that closing costs, commissions, and fees will eat up about 7% to 10% of your final sale price. If you sell to a cash buyer, you avoid the bulk of this 7% loss since there are no agent fees and we pay the closing costs.
What is the hardest month to sell a house?
Historically, December and January are the hardest months to sell due to the holidays and buyers waiting for the new year. However, we buy houses year-round, even during the holidays, so you don't have to wait for the "spring market."
What is considered a lowball offer?
A lowball offer is typically 25% or more below the fair market value (considering the home's condition). We don't lowball. We provide a fair cash offer based on the After Repair Value (ARV) minus the actual costs of construction and repairs.
