We Buy Polk is the acquisitions arm of The COHA Group, a licensed Florida real estate brokerage based in Winter Haven, working alongside BDH Enterprises.
Chad Lindsey spent 13 years running what was then the largest brokerage in Polk County — roughly 1,400 transactions a year across Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, Haines City and the lake towns between. He went back into production because he'd rather work deals than run an office.
That history is why this site reads differently from the others. When you've watched 1,400 deals a year for over a decade, you stop believing there's one right way to sell a house. You've seen a cash offer save somebody's credit, and you've seen a cash offer cost somebody forty thousand dollars they didn't need to lose. The difference was never the offer. It was whether anyone told them the truth about their alternatives.
Some we renovate and resell. Some we hold as rentals. Some we place with investors on our buyer list who are looking for exactly that property in exactly that neighborhood. And some go into our Pathway Home program, where a family who can't qualify for a mortgage today rents with a structured path to owning it. We'll tell you which one we have in mind for yours if you ask — we don't think that's a secret worth keeping.
Most "we buy houses" companies are not licensed. That isn't illegal, but it means the rules governing how they deal with you are thinner. As a licensed brokerage we carry disclosure obligations even when we're the buyer and not your agent. We'd rather say that up front than have you discover it later.
