Sell Your House Fast in Miami, Florida

Yes, cash home buyers are absolutely legit in Miami, but like any industry, some operate better than others. We, FL Home Buyers, are a legitimate Florida-based company led by a licensed general contractor, Max Cohen. We’ve bought over 100 homes across Florida since 2014, and we’re BBB A+ Accredited here in Miami, FL. We pride ourselves on clear numbers, simple terms, and no junk fees.

Typically, cash home buyers in Miami aim to buy properties at a discount compared to market value. This allows us to cover renovation costs, holding costs, and still make a small profit when we resell. Our offers are always fair, based on the 'as-is' condition, estimated repairs needed (Max is a licensed contractor, so he knows real costs), and comparable sales in your Miami neighborhood. We always give you a clear breakdown.

With FL Home Buyers, you can sell your house as-is in Miami very quickly. Once we agree on an offer, we can often close in as little as 7-14 days. However, we're flexible. If you need more time, say up to 60 days, we can adjust the closing date to fit your schedule. The key is that there are no lender delays or appraisal hurdles, just a straightforward cash transaction.

Yes, we absolutely can. If the title is clear and you're ready, we have closed on properties in as little as 7-10 days across Florida. Our process is streamlined, working with local Florida title companies to ensure a quick and smooth closing that fits your timeline.

We pride ourselves on a no-fee approach. When you sell to FL Home Buyers, we don't charge any commissions or hidden fees. In fact, we typically cover all standard closing costs. This means the cash offer we make is very close to the amount you actually receive at closing, giving you a clear financial picture from day one.

For a cash sale in Florida, you'll typically need your property deed, any outstanding mortgage statements, recent property tax statements, and photo identification. If you inherited the property, probate documents might be needed. Our local Florida title company will guide you through exactly what's required, making sure everything is in order for a smooth transaction.

The main risks can be lowball offers, hidden fees, or companies that can't actually close. To protect yourself, always choose a reputable buyer like FL Home Buyers. Look for a company with a strong local track record, clear communication, and transparent terms. Check for BBB accreditation, read reviews, and verify they use a local, reputable title company for closing. We encourage you to compare our offer with others – we believe our clarity stands out.

Absolutely. That's one of our core promises. We buy houses in Miami 'as-is.' You don't need to fix a single thing, clean anything, or even worry about inspections dragging out the process. We take on all the repair burdens, whether it's an old roof, plumbing issues, or hurricane damage. This means less stress and more certainty for you.

Yes, we specialize in buying tenant-occupied properties in Miami. You don't have to deal with evictions or lease buyouts. We'll take over the lease agreements and handle the tenants after closing. This is a huge relief for landlords who are tired of managing rental properties or dealing with difficult renters near areas like Little Havana or Wynwood.

Yes, we frequently buy inherited and probate properties across Florida, including Miami-Dade County. We understand these situations can be complex and emotionally taxing. We work closely with families and their attorneys to navigate the probate process, offering a smooth cash sale that allows you to settle the estate quickly and avoid ongoing property expenses or costly repairs.

Our process is simple: 1) You contact us with your property details. 2) We schedule a quick walkthrough (in person or virtual) to understand your home's condition. 3) We present a clear, no-obligation cash offer based on our assessment. 4) If you accept, we close on your timeline, handling all the paperwork at a local Florida title company, with no fees or commissions for you.

We make money by buying houses below market value, investing our own capital into repairs and renovations, and then reselling the improved property for a profit. Max Cohen, our founder, is a licensed general contractor, which means we accurately estimate renovation costs and manage projects efficiently. This business model allows us to offer sellers a convenient, fast, and as-is sale without them incurring any upfront costs or realtor commissions.

When you sell a property in Florida for cash, the sale is typically reported to the IRS by the closing agent (title company) on Form 1099-S. Regarding capital gains tax, it generally applies to the profit you make from the sale, not the total sale price. There can be exemptions or deferrals depending on how long you owned the property, if it was your primary residence, and other factors. We are not tax advisors, so it's always best to consult with a qualified CPA or tax professional to understand your specific tax obligations.

Many older Miami homes, especially in areas like Overtown or Little Havana, have inherited code issues or unpermitted additions from years past. Don't worry, we buy houses with code violations. Our team, led by a licensed contractor, understands the costs and processes involved in resolving these. We'll factor it into our offer and take on the responsibility, saving you the headache and expense.

Not necessarily. We understand that moving can be a lot, especially in Miami traffic. We can often arrange for you to stay in the home for a short period after closing if you need a little extra time to get things sorted. Just let us know your needs, and we'll do our best to accommodate a flexible move-out timeline that works for you and your family.

A "stalled listing" means your Miami house has been on the market for a while without selling. This often happens if the price is too high, it needs significant repairs, or there are issues with showing the property. It can be frustrating and costly. We can step in with a direct cash offer, helping you bypass the traditional market and providing a straightforward way to be done with the headache of an unsold listing.

It means we've been recognized by major local news outlets like CBS12, FOX, ABC7, and WFLX for our work in the Florida real estate market. This exposure highlights our reputation as a trusted, reliable local home buyer. When you work with us, you're partnering with a company that has a strong presence and a track record of integrity in Florida.
