Sell Your House As-Is in Florida
Quick Answer
Yes. You can sell your Florida house as-is without making repairs first. As-is does not mean hiding known problems or skipping title work. It means the offer is based on the current condition, with repair risk priced into the written terms before closing.
- Cash offer after a property review -- condition is evaluated before the contract is finalized
- Choose your closing date after title is clear -- with payoff statements and seller documents ready
- Written closing terms -- seller costs, payoffs, liens, taxes, and HOA balances are handled through the closing statement
- No pre-sale repairs or staging -- tell us what stays, what goes, and what condition issues you already know about

"The right as-is offer starts with the real repair list. Roof, mold, electrical, plumbing, permits, tenants, cleanout, title problems - we would rather know upfront and price it correctly than surprise you later."
How Selling As-Is Works in Florida
Three steps. No contractors, open houses, staging, or retail repair negotiations.
Give Us the Address
Fill out the form or call 561-258-9405. Tell us the address, known repair issues, occupancy status, and the timeline you need.
Get a Written Cash Offer
We pull comparable sales, estimate repairs, review condition photos or walkthrough notes, and send a written offer based on the house as it sits.
Pick a Date and Get Paid
You choose the closing date. The title company handles deed, payoff, and settlement paperwork, then disburses funds after closing.
What As-Is Really Means
As-is is useful when the buyer is willing to take repair risk. It does not erase ownership, title, payoff, or disclosure questions. A good buyer should explain how those issues will be handled before you sign.
Repairs are priced in
Roof age, water damage, mold, electrical panels, plumbing, AC, windows, cleanout, and permit issues affect the offer. You should not have to guess which repairs matter.
Known issues should be discussed
If you know about mold, leaks, unpermitted work, liens, open permits, or tenant problems, say so early. It helps the buyer and title company structure the closing correctly.
Title still matters
An as-is sale still needs a proper deed, ownership verification, payoff statements, and settlement statement. Ask your title company or attorney about legal questions.

What Does Selling As-Is Actually Mean?
The point of an as-is sale is to avoid pre-sale repair work, not to ignore the property's real condition.
Fixer-Uppers
Outdated kitchens, old flooring, popcorn ceilings, and deferred maintenance can be priced into the offer.
Fire & Flood Damage
Smoke, storm, water, and flood damage are evaluated as repair scope.
Inherited Houses
Probate and estate sales may need extra title steps before closing.
Code Violations
Open permits, liens, and violations are reviewed before closing so nobody is guessing.
Foreclosures
Behind on payments? Timing depends on auction date, payoff amount, and title status.
Bad Roof / AC
Insurance or lender repair problems can be priced directly instead of fixed before sale.
Tenant Issues
Tenant issues need lease, deposit, notice, and occupancy details before final terms.
Divorce Sales
Divorce sales may need both owners, attorneys, or the court aligned before closing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do "we buy houses" companies work in Florida?
Selling as-is means the buyer prices the property in its current condition instead of asking you to repair it before closing. You still need clear written terms, title work, payoff statements, and a proper closing. In Florida, as-is sales are common in investor transactions, but you should still review the contract before signing.
Are "we buy houses for cash" companies legit?
Some are. Many aren't. FL Home Buyers is BBB A+ Accredited, led by Max Cohen, a Licensed General Contractor (CGC1534000). We've been buying homes in Florida since 2014. We close with a Florida title company and provide written offers with clear written terms. Ask for documentation of available closing funds and a license number from anyone making you an offer.
How fast can you close on my Florida house?
A clean-title cash sale can move quickly, but the closing date still depends on title search, payoff statements, HOA or municipal balances, seller paperwork, and when you want to move. We agree on the target date in writing instead of pretending every sale closes on the same schedule.
Do you buy houses with repair issues?
Yes. We review houses with fire damage, flood damage, mold, foundation cracks, roof issues, failed septic, code violations, and major cleanout needs. You do not need to repair or clean before we review it. The written offer should show how the condition affects the number.
What areas of Florida do you buy houses in?
All of Florida. Jacksonville to Miami, Tampa to Orlando, and everywhere between. We're most active in Palm Beach County, Broward, Miami-Dade, Orange County, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Duval, and Lake County. If it's in Florida, call us.
