Every review below is real and quoted word for word from Google, where the profile is still listed as Tampete Homes (4.8★, 13 reviews as of October 2026).
“I was skeptical at first when these guys approached me about my home, but they were very knowledgeable and straightforward. They did all the work. These guys know what it means to do good business, which is unfortunately rare nowadays.”
“Working with HomeSellerCashOffer has been nothing but a positive experience. Al is extremely professional, transparent, and always a pleasure to work with. He communicates clearly, keeps the process smooth, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything stays on track”
“As an investor myself, I get bombarded from people trying to buy my houses. AL and his team were miles above anybody else that’s approached me, super knowledgeable, professional and transparent. Recommend to anyone that wants top tier service.”
Not a call center. Not a national chain. A St. Pete owner who answers his own phone.
In 10+ years, AL has personally purchased and assisted with 100+ real estate transactions across the country — probates, tax deed saves, code violations, and straightforward sales — and today he buys houses across Tampa Bay from his office at 433 Central Ave in downtown St. Petersburg. His rule is simple: straight answers first, and if selling isn't your best move, he'll say so.
Talk to AL →Most of the sellers AL works with have a deadline, a family situation, or a house that’s hard to sell the normal way. No judgment — just straight answers.
Settling an estate, with or without probate? We work with the family and the attorney, and wait on the court when needed.
See how it works →Tax certificates, a tax lien notice, or a tax deed auction date? There is usually still time to sell and keep your equity.
See how it works →Behind on the mortgage or got a foreclosure letter? Selling before the sale date can protect your equity and your credit.
See how it works →Done with tenants, repairs and late rent? We buy rentals occupied or vacant, leases and all.
See how it works →Roof, foundation, mold, fire or flood damage? We buy as-is — no repairs, no cleaning, no inspections to pass.
See how it works →Moving, downsizing or relocating? Skip the listing, the showings and the wait.
Learn more →Local means we can walk the house this week and close with a title company down the street.
Typically 7–21 days once the title work is clear. If you need more time — to move, to finish probate, or to find your next place — we close on the date you pick.
No. No agent commission and no fees to us. We pay the normal seller closing costs. Any taxes, liens or loans you owe are paid from the sale proceeds at closing by the title company.
Usually not. In Florida the owner can pay off what’s owed up until the tax deed is actually issued, and a sale can close before the auction with the back taxes paid at closing. Call the same day you get the notice — the calendar is the enemy. See behind on property taxes.
Often you can sign a contract early and close once the personal representative has authority (Letters of Administration) or the court approves. We work with your probate attorney and wait on the court when that’s what the estate needs. See inherited & probate houses.
If the payoff is less than what the house is worth, yes — the loan is paid off at closing, which stops the foreclosure. If you owe more than it’s worth, it may need lender approval (a short sale). We’ll tell you honestly which one you’re in. See behind on payments.
Yes. Occupied or vacant. Existing leases and security deposits transfer at closing, and your tenants don’t have to move out for you to sell. See tired landlords.
We start from what the house would sell for fixed up, subtract the real cost of the repairs, our holding and resale costs, and a margin. We show you the math. You’re never under any obligation to accept.
Yes. HomeSellerCashOffer is the registered trade name (Florida fictitious name G26000015982) of Tampete Homes LLC, owned by AL Cakici. Contracts are signed by Tampete Homes LLC. Same people, same office, same phone number.
Tell AL about the house. Takes 30 seconds. No obligation, no fees, no pressure.
