Houses we buy

We buy the ones nobody else wants to deal with.

Block ranches with 25-year-old roofs. Carports holding forty years of somebody's life. Yards the county has already written a letter about. This is what the houses we buy actually look like the day we first see them — and not one thing in these pictures had to be cleaned up, hauled off or repaired before we made an offer.

What makes us different

Same house. Three buyers. Three very different numbers.

Which one fits depends on how fast you need out, what shape the house is in, and how much of the work you want to be responsible for.

Buyer 1A dated Polk County single-family house of the kind we buy as-is for cash

We buy it. Cash, as-is.

Our own money. No repairs, no cleaning, no showings, no lender to fall through. You pick the closing date.

The trade: this usually nets the least of the three. A cash buyer prices in repairs, holding cost and profit. Anyone claiming otherwise is selling you something.

Buyer 2An ordinary block home of the kind our investor buyers compete for

Our investor network buys it.

We take it to investors we've actually closed deals with. They compete against each other, and often one of them pays more than we would ourselves.

How we're paid: a fee on the match, and you see that number before you agree to anything. Still as-is, still no repairs, still no commission to you.

Buyer 3A house listed on the open market with a for-sale sign in the yard

The open market buys it.

We list it on the MLS and market it hard — photography, syndication, the whole retail machine. Highest gross price in most cases, and we'll say so when it's the right call.

The trade: time, commission, showings, and usually repairs to get a buyer's lender to the table.

Then: how you want to get paid — applies to buyer 1 or 2

All of it at closing

One wire, one closing, done. This is what most sellers picture and it's the right answer when you need the money for the next thing — a down payment, a debt, a move.

Standard on every offer

You carry the note — owner financing

Instead of one lump sum, you hold paper and get paid monthly with interest. The total usually comes out well above a straight cash price, and it can spread the tax hit rather than stacking it into one year.

The trade: you're the lender until it's paid off, and if the buyer stops paying, foreclosure is your problem. We'll walk you through exactly what that risk looks like before you choose it.

Available on buyer 1 or 2

Speed and repair figures describe our typical process. Net proceeds depend on your property, mortgage balance and timeline — we won't quote a number until we've seen the house. Owner financing is not available on every property and depends on what you owe.

Any situation

We buy houses in Polk County no matter what you're dealing with.

You don't need a disaster to want out. Most people who call us just have a house that no longer fits the life they're living.

Any Reason

Any Condition

Any Challenge

If you're behind on payments, time matters more than price. Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, which buys you more room than people think — but that room shrinks once a case is filed. Call before a sale date is set and you have every option. After, usually one.

Questions sellers ask us

The things people want to know before they call.

Will you actually pay cash, or are you going to wholesale my house?

Both are on the table, and we'll tell you which one is happening before you sign anything. Sometimes we buy with our own funds. Sometimes an investor on our buyer list will pay you more than we would, and we make a fee on that match instead. You'll know which, who, and what our fee is. The assignment isn't the shady part of this business — hiding it is.

How is your offer calculated?

We start from what comparable houses in your neighborhood actually sold for in good condition, subtract what it costs to get yours there, subtract holding and closing costs, and subtract a profit margin. That's it. There's no formula we're hiding — we'll walk you through the arithmetic line by line if you want it.

Will I get less than if I listed it with an agent?

Usually, yes. We'd rather say that plainly than have you find out later. A cash sale trades price for speed, certainty, and not having to fix anything. What we do differently is give you the listing number too, so you can see the size of that gap and decide whether it's worth it. Sometimes it is. Sometimes we tell people to list it.

Are there any fees or commissions?

Not on a direct purchase or a network placement — you pay nothing and we cover normal closing costs. If you choose to list it on the market instead, there's a commission, and we'll quote it before you sign a thing.

What if the house is in terrible shape?

That's most of what we buy. Roof gone, plumbing shot, hoarder conditions, fire damage, thirty years of belongings still inside — leave it. Don't clean, don't repair, don't haul anything out. Take what you want and walk away from the rest.

What if I'm behind on payments or in foreclosure?

Call sooner rather than later. Florida foreclosures go through the courts, which gives you more runway than most people assume, but the options narrow sharply once a sale date is set. Even if we're not the right buyer, we can usually tell you what your actual timeline is.

There's a tenant in the house. Does that kill it?

No. We buy tenant-occupied houses routinely, including mid-lease and including tenants who've stopped paying. You don't have to evict anyone or have an uncomfortable conversation before selling.

How fast can this actually close?

Seven days is realistic when title is clean and the house is vacant. Probate, liens, or a missing heir will stretch it. We'd rather give you an honest date than a marketing one.

What happens next

We're not slapping paint on it and flipping the sign.

Every house higher up this page came to us looking like that. This is the other end of it — new roofs, new systems, kitchens and baths taken down to the studs. It matters to you because the number we can pay depends on what it actually costs to bring a house back, and we'll show you that math instead of asking you to trust it.
