Frequently Asked Questions
Many homeowners who search “sell house for cash Florida” have the same handful of questions. If you want to sell house for cash Florida homeowners can count on, these answers explain how Cash For My Florida Home works and what to expect from our investment group.
About Our Investment Group
Who is Cash For My Florida Home?
We are a group of real estate investors that purchases properties in Florida. The company is led by Laura and Denis Hernández, and Denis owns the company and is part of the investment group.
Will you list my house on the MLS?
No. When you sell house for cash Florida style with us, you sell directly to our investment group, without needing to list your property. There are no listing photos, open houses or showings.
How is selling to you different from hiring an agent?
An agent markets your home and looks for a buyer, which can take time and usually involves a commission. We are the buyer. We review the property, make an offer and, if you accept, purchase it with cash.
Offers, Costs and Fees
How do you calculate your offer?
We look at the condition of the property, the repairs it needs, recent sales of comparable homes nearby and the costs we expect to carry as investors. We walk you through the main factors behind the number.
Do you charge commissions?
No. You pay no commissions when you sell to us.
Who pays the closing costs?
We cover the closing costs agreed upon in the purchase contract. Those terms are in writing before you sign anything.
Will I get full market value?
A direct cash sale is about convenience and certainty. A traditional listing can bring a higher price for a home in excellent condition when you have time to wait. We will be honest about how our offer compares.
The Property and the Process
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house?
No. We buy properties as is. You can leave behind anything you do not want to keep.
Can I sell a house that still has a mortgage?
Yes. Your mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing through the title company.
Do you buy inherited homes and houses in probate?
Yes, you can submit an inherited property. We can work alongside the personal representative and the estate attorney.
Can I sell a house with tenants?
Yes, tell us about the property and the current lease, and we will review them together.
How soon can we close?
You choose from the available closing dates, so the timeline fits your plans.
Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
No. Submitting your property starts our review. You decide whether the offer works for you.
Special Situations
Can I sell during a divorce?
Yes. When both owners agree to sell, a direct sale can simplify things because there are no showings to coordinate and the timeline is predictable. Both owners usually need to sign the contract and closing documents.
What if there are liens, judgments or back taxes?
Liens and unpaid property taxes are normally paid from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company identifies them, and we explain how they affect the final amount you receive.
Do you buy homes with code violations or open permits?
Yes, you can submit a property with code issues, unpermitted work or open permits. We factor the cost of resolving them into our offer.
Can I sell a condo with a special assessment?
You can tell us about any condo, including one with a pending or approved assessment. We review the building, the association and the assessment before telling you whether the unit fits our investment criteria.
What if the house is full of belongings?
Take what matters to you and leave the rest. We buy properties as is, including homes that still hold furniture, clothes and years of stored items.
Comparing Your Options
Should I list with an agent instead?
If your home is updated, you have time and top dollar is your main goal, listing may be the better route. If speed, privacy or the condition of the property matter more, a direct sale is worth comparing.
What about selling it myself?
Selling by owner saves a commission, but you handle pricing, marketing, showings, negotiations and buyer financing on your own. Many owners who try it end up comparing offers from investors as well.
How is your group different from large online home buyers?
You deal with a Florida focused investment group led by people you can talk to directly, and we review properties that many national programs decline, including homes that need major repairs.
Getting Ready to Sell House for Cash Florida Style
You do not need perfect paperwork to request an offer, but having a few items ready can make the review smoother and the closing faster.
- Your most recent mortgage statement or payoff letter
- HOA or condo association contact details, if you have one
- Any current leases and tenant contact information
- Permits, insurance claims or repair estimates related to damage
- Probate documents or letters of administration for an inherited home
- Recent property tax bills or notices about liens
If you are missing something, that is fine. The title company can locate most records, and we can help you figure out what is needed for your situation.
How long does the review take?
It depends on the property and how quickly we can see it. We aim to explain the timeline at the start so you are never left waiting without an update.
Can I change my mind after accepting?
The purchase contract spells out what happens if plans change. Read it carefully, ask us anything that is unclear and review it with an attorney if you would like. That is the best way to sell house for cash Florida homeowners can feel confident about.
