Max Cohen: The Florida Probate Specialist
"I understand the complexities of inheriting property in Florida—the stress of title issues, the pressure of the 18-month probate timeline, and the high cost of maintenance on a vacant home. If your family's Concrete Block Ranch Home has outdated Polybutylene Piping, structural settling, or you are facing Strict HOA Enforcement fines, I buy it, no questions asked.
We save the estate an average of $25,000+ in Realtor fees and skip the repair hassle entirely. We handle all transfers with Florida Power & Light (FPL) and the County Property Appraiser on your behalf, providing a clean path to closing the estate quickly. We focus exclusively on Florida, a state where tourism, agriculture, and high-tech sectors like **Space Coast** and Medical City drive distinct property demands."
4 Reasons Heirs Choose a Cash Sale in Florida
Defects & Repair Liability
Selling traditionally means mandatory disclosures and costly repairs for issues like failing Polybutylene Piping or Asbestos-Containing Materials in popcorn ceilings. We buy your Concrete Block Ranch Home as-is, eliminating your liability completely.
Climate Risk & Zone AE
Massive insurance premiums due to Hurricanes and Tropical Storms or high-risk Zone AE flood designations deter bank-financed buyers. We purchase these assets directly, providing a clear path to closing without the insurance battle.
Probate Delays & Conflict
Probate can take 18 months or longer if multiple heirs disagree or creditors file claims within the 90-day window. Our cash offer speeds up the entire estate process, quickly converting the asset into distributable cash.
Property Tax & Lien Accumulation
Every month the house sits vacant means higher utility bills, property taxes assessed by the County Property Appraiser, and potential fines from Strict HOA Enforcement. Stop the mounting debts with a guaranteed fast close.

Addressing Florida's Toughest Inherited Property Challenges
Handling Probate in Florida: Speed vs. The Clock
When you inherit property in Florida, it typically goes through Formal Administration, a legal process that often takes 18 months or longer, especially in crowded counties if there are complex assets, creditor claims, or disputes among heirs. Until the Circuit Court Clerk issues the Letters of Administration, the Personal Representative (PR) cannot execute the sale. We eliminate the market risk during this downtime. We establish a guaranteed cash price immediately, setting the stage for a 7-day close the moment the PR gains legal authority.
Creditor claims are a major delay. In Florida, creditors generally have 90 days from the Notice to Creditors publication to file a claim. If the estate receives a guaranteed cash sale price, it significantly simplifies the PR’s final accounting and distribution plan. Our process avoids the need for court-ordered property appraisals, cleaning, staging, or showings, allowing the estate to finalize its books faster and distribute equity to the heirs.
Actionable Insight: If the property was held in a Lady Bird Deed or a Trust, the probate process might be bypassed, allowing for a near-immediate closing. We can verify the deed status and structure the purchase accordingly to close faster than any standard bank-financed buyer.
Avoid These Typical Florida Home Repair Costs
| Repair Category | Estimated Homeowner Cost | Our Offer (No Repairs Needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Replace Polybutylene Piping | $6,000 - $15,000 | Included in Cash Offer |
| Aged/Failing Roof (Insurance Risk) | $12,000 - $25,000 | Included in Cash Offer |
| Foundation/Slab Issues & Settling | $10,000 - $30,000+ | Included in Cash Offer |
Facing Foreclosure on an Inherited Property in Florida
If the inherited property had an existing mortgage and payments were missed, the home will face Judicial Foreclosure. Once the lawsuit is filed, you, as the heir or Personal Representative, only have 20 days to respond to the foreclosure complaint. Missing this deadline is critical, as it accelerates the timeline to a forced sale often scheduled 20 to 35 days after the Final Judgment. This limited window can cause the estate to lose significant equity. We step in immediately, often allowing us to execute a fast cash closing before the Final Judgment, stopping the foreclosure and preserving the maximum amount of equity for the heirs.
Sell with Code Violations and Defect Disclosures
Mandatory disclosures in Florida require sellers to reveal known defects. Many older homes, particularly the Concrete Block Ranch Home style common across the state, carry defects like failing Polybutylene Piping and unpermitted additions that require costly retrofitting or remediation. Heirs are often unwilling or unable to fund these repairs. We buy the property with the violation attached. You skip the permits, avoid the expense of replacing the failing plumbing, and transfer the environmental and structural burdens to us, simplifying your final accounting and distribution.
Max's Insight:
Florida has strict rules regarding Strict HOA Enforcement. If the inherited house is sitting vacant and incurring daily fines for landscaping, unpermitted repairs, or parking, those fines become a lien against the property. We buy with the violation attached, immediately stopping the mounting debt for the estate and handling the lien clearance ourselves.
Regional Challenges We Master
From coastal humidity to dense metro regulations, we navigate the specific pressures unique to Florida's major regions to deliver a hassle-free cash close.
South Florida (Miami-Dade / Broward)
High density, complex title chains, and extreme Strict HOA Enforcement. We manage properties near the congested I-95 corridor where time is money, providing rapid equity release for high-cost-of-living areas.
Northeast Coast (Jax / St. Johns)
Defined by high insurance risk and Zone AE classifications. Properties near the respected St. Johns County School District are highly sought, but the insurance market is brutal. We eliminate this contingency for sellers.
West Coast (Tampa / St. Pete)
The primary Job Hub for the West Coast. This area features a high volume of older Concrete Block Ranch Home properties with widespread Polybutylene Piping and deferred maintenance. We focus on these older homes, giving the estate fair value as-is.
Central Florida (Orlando / Interior)
We solve ownership issues near major transit chokepoints like the I-4/I-95 Interchange and high-growth areas. We take over the financial pressure of owning an empty home that is far from the heir, buying quickly and cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do you buy houses in 33139, 32250, and 33701? +
Yes, we actively purchase properties for cash across the entire state of Florida. We serve all metro areas—from the high-density South Florida region (like 33139) to the family-focused suburbs near top districts like St. Johns County School District (like 32250). Our cash buying model is effective everywhere.
Q2: My inherited home is in Zone AE. Will you buy it? +
Absolutely. We specialize in buying homes facing environmental risks, including those in FEMA Flood Zone AE or prone to damage from Hurricanes and Tropical Storms. You do not need to worry about obtaining flood insurance, costly mitigation, or disclosure issues before selling to us.
Q3: Can I sell the house before Florida Probate is complete? +
Generally, no. The Personal Representative needs Letters of Administration from the Circuit Court Clerk to legally transfer the deed. However, we can agree on a price and contract while probate is underway, setting a fast closing date immediately after the Letters are issued, which saves you months of market uncertainty.
Q4: Do I need to fix the Polybutylene Piping or other defects? +
No. We buy 100% as-is. This includes major defects common in Concrete Block Ranch Home properties like failing Polybutylene Piping, old HVAC units, or even foundation cracks. You make no repairs, pay no contractor fees, and avoid the liability of dealing with remediation yourself.
Q5: How does this compare to hiring Coldwell Banker Realty? +
A traditional listing with a broker like Coldwell Banker Realty involves staging, showings, appraisals, inspections, and paying an average 5.59% commission. Our service is a direct, zero-fee cash offer that bypasses all those steps, putting guaranteed equity in the estate's account within two weeks, not months.
