Sell My House Fast in Florida

Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, so a lender has to sue in circuit court and get a final judgment before your home can be sold at a public auction, under Florida Statutes Chapter 702. Many lenders use the fast track show cause procedure in Section 702.10, which requires the court to set a hearing no sooner than 20 days after the order to show cause is served or 45 days after the complaint is served, whichever is later. Overall timelines vary widely by county and whether the case is contested, but that show cause hearing date is often the first real deadline. We can frequently make an offer and close before a sale date is even set.

Sometimes. Florida's summary administration process under Florida Statutes Section 735.201 skips a full, formal probate case when the estate subject to administration in Florida, not counting exempt property like the homestead, is worth $150,000 or less for deaths on or after July 1, 2026 (the threshold was $75,000 for deaths before that date), or when the decedent has been dead for more than two years. Estates above that threshold generally need the probate court to appoint a personal representative first, though we can put an offer in writing while that is underway.

Yes, generally. Florida does not have a statutory seller disclosure form, but the Florida Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. Davis (480 So. 2d 625, 1985) created a duty for sellers to disclose known facts that materially affect a home's value and are not readily observable to the buyer. Separately, Florida Statutes Section 689.261 requires sellers to give buyers a property tax disclosure summary at or before contract signing, and Section 404.056(5) requires specific radon gas notice language in most sale contracts. Selling to Home Pros does not remove these disclosure duties, but it does remove the inspection-driven repair negotiation that usually follows a financed buyer's walkthrough.

Florida charges a documentary stamp tax on deeds of $0.70 per $100 of consideration statewide under Florida Statutes Section 201.02. Miami-Dade County is the one exception: single-family residences there are taxed at $0.60 per $100, while a $0.45 per $100 surtax applies to other property types in that county. On a $350,000 sale outside Miami-Dade, that is about $2,450. By custom this is usually a seller-side cost in a traditional sale; when you sell to Home Pros, it comes out of our side of the closing statement, not yours.

At least 30 days' written notice before the end of the monthly rental period, under Florida Statutes Section 83.57(3), which was raised from 15 days by a 2023 amendment. Week-to-week tenancies need 7 days' notice, and year-to-year tenancies need 60 days' notice under the same section. If you are selling a rental with tenants in place, you do not have to end the lease first; we buy occupied rentals as-is and can work around an existing lease or notice period.

Florida property tax bills go out November 1 and become delinquent April 1 of the following year under Florida Statutes Section 197.333. Paying early earns a discount under Section 197.162: 4 percent in November, 3 percent in December, 2 percent in January, and 1 percent in February. If you are heading toward spring with a house you cannot afford to keep taxed and insured, that April 1 delinquency date is worth planning around, whether you sell to us or someone else.

We buy statewide, from North Florida to Central Florida and the Southwest Gulf Coast. We are actively building local buying activity and dedicated pages for Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and Pensacola in the north; Orlando, Tampa, Lakeland, and Ocala in Central Florida; and Fort Myers in the southwest. If your city is not listed yet, submit your address anyway; our acquisitions team covers the whole state.

No. We buy houses as-is, including homes with hurricane or flood damage, roof issues, code violations, or years of deferred maintenance. We factor the repair cost into our offer up front so you never spend money on the house before you sell it.

We start with the home's likely after-repair value based on comparable sales, subtract the estimated cost of repairs, then subtract a margin that covers our holding costs, closing costs, and resale risk. What is left is your offer, and we walk through the math with you before you sign anything.
