I started buying houses after the 2008 crash, when families all around me were losing homes they had every right to keep. Most of them had equity they didn’t know was there, and nobody was telling them.
Since then I’ve been part of the purchase and sale of thousands of properties, and helped families recover millions of dollars in equity they had written off. Almost all of them came to me thinking their situation was too far gone to fix — behind on payments, an estate nobody could agree on, a house full of forty years of belongings.
It usually isn’t too far gone. That’s the whole job.
I’ll go further than most buyers to get a family through it. If the hold-up is legal fees, I pay them. If you need money before closing day, I advance you part of your equity as soon as the contract is signed. Whatever the obstacle is, I’d rather solve it than walk away from it.
How it works
No Fees, No Commissions, No Repairs, No Hassle. Just A Cash, Quick Close Offer To Buy Your House in 24 Hours!
You tell us the address
That's genuinely all we need to start. No documents, no title search, no tidying up first.
You get a number in writing
Not a range and not an estimate. A written offer, and we close on it — we don't come back later asking for less. This is also where we can advance you part of your equity or cover your legal costs.
Close!
You pick the closing date, not us. Everything runs through a title company, nothing is deducted for fees or commissions, and what we agreed in writing is what you walk away with.
The housing stock in Ocala
Roughly half the homes in Ocala — 50% are owner-occupied — are lived in by someone other than the owner. Any of these can stop a normal sale: belongings nobody has been able to clear out, storm and flood damage that was never repaired, or payments that fell behind before anyone asked for help. We'll buy it, whatever the issue.

Situations we buy in
If any of these sound like yours, we have handled it before in Ocala and across Marion County. This is the whole list, not a sample.
Inherited a house
Left to you, or split between siblings who live in different states.
Empty for years
Vacant, boarded, or a house nobody has been inside since the funeral.
A rental you’re done with
One house or an entire rent roll, in one transaction.
Needs more work than it’s worth
Roof, plumbing, electrical, foundation — we price it in, we don’t walk.
Tenants or family living there
You do not have to ask anyone to leave before selling.
Probate isn’t finished
You do not have to wait for the estate to close before selling.
Heirs who can’t agree
One wants to sell, one wants to keep it, and nothing is moving.
A reverse mortgage on it
The balance has grown past what the house is worth and the lender wants payment.
Behind on payments
Missed payments, pre-foreclosure, or a lender that has already filed.
Unpaid taxes or liens
Delinquent property taxes, judgments, mechanics liens.
Code violations
Citations, condemnation notices, or a municipality that keeps writing.
Squatters or someone who won’t go
We take possession lawfully, at our cost, after closing.
Full of belongings
Decades of contents still inside. Leave whatever you want; we handle it.
A hoarder house
We have bought them before. No cleanout, no showings, and no judgement.
Fire, water or storm damage
Insurance settled or not, we buy the property as it stands.
Going through a divorce
The house has to be sold and neither of you wants to manage it.
You live out of state
Managing a property from a thousand miles away is its own problem.
It didn’t sell
Listed, sat, expired. Usually a condition or title issue, and both are fine.
You need the money sooner
A deadline you did not choose, and a house that is not moving fast enough.
We buy in 34470, 34471, 34474, 34475, 34476, 34479, 34480, 34482 — and anywhere else in Marion County.

Questions people ask before they call
Can you buy my house in Ocala, FL for cash?
Yes. Investor Trustee Services buys single-family houses throughout Ocala and Marion County for cash, in any condition, 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 on our own balance sheet and don't wait on a lender.
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.
Do you buy inherited houses or houses in probate?
Yes. We buy inherited and probate properties in Ocala, 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?
Often, yes — depending on where the estate stands and who has authority to sell. We handle these regularly and can tell you quickly whether a sale can close now or needs a step completed first.
Do you buy houses in foreclosure or when I'm behind on payments?
Yes. We buy houses in foreclosure in Ocala 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 Ocala, including working with the lender on the payoff.
How do you decide your offer?
We base it on recent Ocala 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.
Are you a wholesaler? Will you assign the contract to someone else?
Investor Trustee Services acquires and resells real property for its own account. We are the buyer named on the contract and we close in our own name — we are not a brokerage, and we are not shopping your house to a list of other buyers.
Can you show proof of funds?
Yes — ask and we will send it. You should ask that of any cash buyer. Nothing is binding until you sign a written agreement, and you are free to take the written offer to your own attorney first.
What areas do you cover?
We buy across Marion County and statewide in Florida, including Silver Springs, Liberty Triangle, Silver Springs Shores, On Top of the World. If your property is in or near Ocala, we can make an offer.
