BBB A+ Accredited

Verify on BBB.orgLicensed General Contractor
Max Cohen holds Florida General Contractor License CGC1534000. That means he can pull permits, estimate repair costs from actual trades pricing, and manage construction on every property we buy.
Most cash buyers aren't licensed. They guess on repairs, then pad the number to protect themselves. We price repairs because we've done them.

You can ask us to document available closing funds before you sign. Our written terms should explain the closing path, title company, seller costs, inspection period, and what must be true before closing.
We close through Florida-licensed title companies, and you'll have an attorney review period built into every contract. There's clear written terms to sign anything on the spot.
Media Coverage
Max Cohen was featured on CBS12 News in a segment covering the South Florida real estate market and how homeowners in distressed situations can sell their properties without going through the traditional listing process.
CBS12 reached out to us because we've been doing this long enough that local journalists know who we are. We didn't pay for the segment, and we didn't pitch it.
How to Vet Any Cash Buyer (Including Us)
Before you sign anything with any "we buy houses" company, run these five checks. They will not catch every problem, but they quickly expose buyers who cannot explain funds, title, seller costs, or contract terms.
Ask for bank documentation
A real cash buyer should be able to document available closing funds before you sign. If they stall or say "we'll get it at closing," treat that as a serious warning sign.
Check their license
Search their name on MyFloridaLicense.com. A license does not prove an offer is good, but it gives you a public record, complaint path, and a way to verify who you are dealing with.
Look them up on BBB and Google
Check for complaints, lawsuits, reviews, and whether the business has a consistent public identity. A buyer with no address, no history, and no willingness to answer questions deserves extra scrutiny.
Verify the entity on Sunbiz
Search the company name on Sunbiz.org (Florida Division of Corporations). The entity should be in "Active" status. If it's dissolved, inactive, or doesn't exist, you're dealing with a ghost.
Read the contract before signing
A legitimate buyer gives you time to review the contract with your own attorney. Watch for assignment clauses (lets them sell the contract to a third party), inspection contingencies with no expiration, and earnest money deposits under $500.

Before you sign
What you can ask us to verify
A real buyer should be willing to put the important parts in writing. If a buyer will not explain funds, seller costs, closing timing, inspection rights, or assignment language, slow down before signing.
For FL Home Buyers, those answers should be concrete: Max Cohen reviews repair scope as a licensed general contractor, closings go through Florida title companies, and seller costs belong in the written offer or settlement statement.
A cash sale is not the best answer for every seller. If the house is financeable, easy to show, and you have time to list, an agent may net you more. If you owe too much, have liens, need probate authority, or have a title issue, we should talk through the delay before you rely on any closing date.
Funds and closing path
Ask for proof that the buyer can close and the title company or closing agent who will handle escrow, payoffs, and the settlement statement.
Seller costs
Ask which costs the buyer pays, which costs still come from your side, and whether any repair credits or liens reduce your net.
License and records
Verify the contractor license, company record, BBB profile, and any public record that matters to you before signing.
Contract terms
Read the inspection period, assignment rights, closing date, occupancy terms, and cancellation language. Use an attorney when the title, estate, divorce, tax, or tenant issue is complicated.
Your net number
Compare the offer against listing net proceeds, not just sale price. Include payoff, commissions, repairs, credits, holding costs, title charges, taxes, and any money needed to clear liens or HOA balances.
