Sell your house in Florida fast!

Can you buy my house in Florida for cash?

Yes. Pete buys single-family houses throughout Florida for cash, as is, with a written offer within 24 hours and no fees or commissions.

How fast can you close?

We deliver a written offer within 24 hours and can close in as little as 3 days — or on whatever date works for you, because we buy with our own cash — there's no bank approval to wait on.

Do I pay any fees, commissions, or closing costs?

No. There are no agent commissions, no fees, and we cover standard closing costs. The number in the written offer is what you walk away with.

Are you the actual buyer, or a wholesaler?

We're the buyer. We buy with our own cash — no wholesalers, and we never pass your contract to anyone else.

Can you show proof of funds?

Yes. We'll provide proof of funds with our written offer. Nothing is binding until you sign a written agreement, and you're free to take the offer to your own attorney first.

Do you buy inherited houses or houses in probate?

Yes. We buy inherited and probate properties in Florida, including estates still in administration, and we work with your attorney to close through the process rather than pricing around it.

Can you buy the house before probate is finished?

We can sign as soon as someone has legal authority to sell, usually the personal representative once the court issues Letters of Administration. We work with your attorney to get there quickly, and in some cases we can agree terms before that step is done.

Do you buy houses in foreclosure or when I'm behind on payments?

Yes. We buy houses in foreclosure in Florida before the auction date and can work directly with your lender's payoff, so you avoid the auction and the judgment that follows.

Will you buy a house that's occupied or has tenants?

Yes. We buy occupied houses — owner-occupied, tenant-occupied, or family in residence — and resolve possession lawfully after closing, so it isn't your problem to solve first.

What if the house has back taxes, liens, or title problems?

Yes, we still buy it. We handle back taxes, code liens, and clouded or tangled title in house as part of the purchase, and net them out of the offer rather than sending you away to clear them.

Do you buy houses that need major repairs?

Yes. We buy in any condition — deferred maintenance, fire or water damage, hoarder conditions, failed inspections — with no repairs and no cleanup required. Leave what you don't want.

Will you buy if I have little or no equity?

Often, yes. Even with zero or negative equity we can structure a cash close in Florida, including working with the lender on the payoff.

How do you decide your offer?

We base it on recent Florida sales, the home's condition, and the situation on title — then put it in writing. It's a real number you can take or leave, with no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

We buy statewide in Florida — every county, from the Panhandle to the Keys. If your property is in Florida, we can make an offer.

What does "due and payable" mean on a reverse mortgage?

It means the whole balance is owed at once. A HECM becomes due and payable when the last borrower dies and the house is no longer a surviving borrower’s principal residence, or when a borrower transfers away all title — and, with HUD approval, for things like unpaid property charges. Nobody owes the shortfall personally: the borrower has no personal liability and the lender enforces the debt only through sale of the property.

What is a lis pendens?

It is the recorded notice that a lawsuit affects the property. A court action operates as a lis pendens only if that notice is recorded in the official records of the county where the property is located, so its presence or absence is something you can look up. In a foreclosure it also fixes the date used to decide who is the owner of record for surplus funds.

Fla. Stat. § 48.23

Can I claim surplus funds after a foreclosure sale?

Yes, if the sale brought more than the judgment and costs required. Surplus is what remains after the disbursements the final judgment requires, and it is paid out to subordinate lienholders who have filed a claim before the owner of record receives the remainder, less the clerk’s service charges. The owner of record is whoever owned the property when the lis pendens was filed, not on the day of the auction.

What is summary administration in Florida?

It is the short form of probate. It is available where the estate subject to administration is worth $150,000 or less, not counting exempt property, or where the decedent has been dead more than two years — and that second route applies whatever the estate is worth. On an old property it is often the fastest way to a signature a title company will accept.

Fla. Stat. § 735.201

What happens if the heirs can't agree to sell?

Any one co-owner can bring a partition action. For inherited property that qualifies as heirs property, the court first values the property and then gives the other cotenants 45 days to buy out the ones who want to sell, at that court-determined value times their share. Only if nobody buys and the house cannot be divided does a sale follow, and it is normally an open-market listing with a licensed broker at no less than the determined value.

Fla. Stat. §§ 64.031, 64.207, 64.210

What is Florida's squatter law?

It lets a property owner ask the sheriff to remove unauthorized occupants on a sworn complaint, without filing a lawsuit, but only if all eight statutory conditions are met — among them that the occupants are not current or former tenants and not immediate family. It has been in force since July 1, 2024. Using it against someone who turns out to be a tenant exposes the owner to triple the fair market rent.
