Referral Partners
Real estate agents, attorneys, and title companies refer clients when a traditional listing is not the right fit. We review the property, title, payoff, and timeline before we give written terms.
Who Refers to Us
Real Estate Agents
You've got a listing you can't sell. The roof's too old for insurance, the house needs $40K in work the seller can't afford, or the property has code violations that scare off financed buyers. Instead of letting the listing expire, send them our way.
We've worked with agents across South Florida, Tampa Bay, and Central Florida who regularly refer sellers when a traditional sale won't pencil out.
Attorneys
Probate attorneys, divorce attorneys, and bankruptcy attorneys often have clients who need to liquidate real property fast. Inherited homes that are falling apart, marital assets that need to be split, or properties that need to be sold before a deadline.
We close on your timeline, work with your title company if you prefer, and we don't create complications that slow down your client's case.
Title Companies
You see deals fall apart because of title defects, unreleased liens, or clouded ownership. Sometimes the seller just needs a buyer who won't walk away when the title search comes back messy. That's us.
We've closed on properties with judgment liens, lis pendens, and title chains that needed attorney review. If title work is needed, we coordinate with the closing team instead of pretending the issue does not exist.
Why Professionals Refer to Us
We commit after review
We look at condition, title, payoff, occupancy, and seller timing before giving terms. That is better for your client than a loose number that changes later.
Licensed and insured
Max Cohen holds GC License CGC1534000. FL Home Buyers is BBB A+ Accredited. You're referring your client to a verified, licensed operation, not a random wholesaler with a Google Ads budget.
We don't poach your clients
We buy the property. We don't list it, and we don't solicit your other clients. The referral relationship stays clean.
Your client keeps you informed
We're transparent with your client about our pricing. We show them the comps, the repair estimate, and the formula. They can share it with you. No black boxes.
Situations Where a Referral Makes Sense
Listing expired or about to expire
The house sat for 90+ days and didn't sell. The seller's exhausted and doesn't want to re-list.
Property needs major repairs
$20K+ in work the seller can't fund. The house won't pass a 4-point inspection or FHA appraisal.
Pre-foreclosure with tight deadline
The seller needs to close before the auction date. A traditional sale won't move fast enough.
Probate or inherited property
Out-of-state heirs who need to liquidate an estate. The house is full of stuff and hasn't been maintained.
Title defects or clouded ownership
Unreleased liens, missing heirs, or gaps in the title chain that traditional buyers won't touch.
Divorce or bankruptcy liquidation
Court-ordered sale or asset split where speed and certainty matter more than maximizing price.
Referral fit
When we are useful, and when we are not
Send the seller if certainty matters more than top retail price
- The property is difficult to finance because of roof, insurance, permit, title, tenant, or repair issues.
- The seller needs a written number to compare against relisting, repairing, or waiting.
- The closing has a deadline tied to probate, foreclosure, divorce, relocation, or a purchase of another home.
Do not send the seller if a normal listing clearly wins
- The house is clean, financeable, easy to show, and the seller has time.
- The seller only wants the highest possible price and can handle repairs, concessions, and showings.
- There is no clear deadline, condition issue, payoff problem, or carrying-cost pressure.
Referral compensation, if any, should be handled only where allowed by law and by the professional rules that apply to your license or role. We do not ask you to route a seller to us if it creates a conflict for your client.
Before referring, protect the client relationship
A cash sale is not the best answer when the seller can comfortably list, wait, and handle repairs. It is more useful when the seller needs a written net number, has a deadline, or needs to compare an as-is sale against title, payoff, repair, tenant, or carrying-cost risk.
Professionals should follow the rules that apply to their role. You can verify Florida real estate licenses through MyFloridaLicense, and attorneys can review Florida Bar guidance through The Florida Bar.
