Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve got answers to your questions about getting you cash fast for your house.
Every time someone is selling a house, it’s a unique and personal transaction. We’ve helped many homeowners get the solution that fits their specific needs.
Yes, you can still sell your home even if there’s a tax lien on it — and in many cases, selling is the best way to avoid further penalties or losing the property at auction. At HomeSellerCashOffer, we regularly work with homeowners who have county tax liens, utility liens, or code enforcement fines. We can help resolve those issues and pay off the liens at closing, so you don’t have to come out of pocket.
We work with experienced title companies that handle all the paperwork and make sure everything is cleared properly. The key is to act fast — the longer a lien goes unpaid, the fewer options you’ll have. If you’ve received a notice, let’s talk and make a plan that protects your equity and gets you out on your terms.
We work with people from all walks of life — but the one thing they all have in common is wanting a fast, hassle-free sale to a buyer they can trust. Whether it’s about speed, convenience, or avoiding costly repairs and delays, we step in to make things easier.
Here are just a few of the most common reasons homeowners choose to sell to us:
Inherited a property they don’t want to manage
Tired of dealing with difficult tenants in a rental
Relocating for work or a life change
Going through a divorce and need a clean break
Falling behind on payments and trying to avoid foreclosure
Facing costly repairs or structural issues they don’t want to fix
Moving and simply don’t want to deal with showings, agents, or cleanup
And sometimes, it’s just about wanting to move on without the stress. Whatever your reason, we’re here to make it simple.
When we say we buy homes “as-is,” we mean it.
You don’t have to fix anything, clean up, or even remove unwanted items. We’re ready to buy properties in any condition — including ones that may be difficult to sell the traditional way.
Some examples of homes we purchase as-is include:
Properties with major repair issues like foundation cracks, roof damage, plumbing leaks, or electrical problems
Homes in challenging neighborhoods or high-crime areas
Properties located in flood zones or regions prone to storm damage
Homes with burdensome mortgages or high-interest loans
Situations where payments have become unmanageable
Properties tied to painful memories — such as divorce, a death in the family, or a personal hardship
Homes that simply no longer fit your life — maybe they’re too large, too small, or just not in the right location anymore
Whatever the situation, we’ll take a look and give you a fair offer — no repairs or updates needed.
Not necessarily — but time is critical. If your house is scheduled for a tax deed auction, you may still be able to sell it before the auction date, depending on how far along the process is.
At HomeSellerCashOffer, we’ve helped homeowners in this exact situation. We move quickly, work directly with the county and title company, and can often pay off the tax debt at closing. If there’s enough time, you can avoid the auction, stop the process, and walk away with cash instead of losing everything.
If you’ve received a final notice or auction date, reach out immediately — even if it feels last-minute. The sooner we talk, the more we can do to help.
The fastest way to sell a house for cash is to work directly with a professional home buyer like HomeSellerCashOffer. We use our own funds to purchase properties, so there are no bank delays, no repairs required, and no financing fall-throughs. In most cases, we can close in as little as 7 to 21 days, depending on your schedule.
By comparison, a traditional sale with a real estate agent in Florida typically takes 3 to 5 months from listing to closing. You’ll have to make repairs, prep for showings, and wait on buyer financing — all while hoping nothing falls apart. If you want a fast, simple, and reliable sale, we’re the better option.
We don’t only buy homes that need repairs. Many homeowners come to us not because the house is falling apart, but because they want a faster, simpler, and more private way to sell.
Maybe you’re relocating for work, downsizing, dealing with a family situation, or just don’t want to wait months for a buyer. Maybe you’d rather skip the hassle of showings, negotiations, and agent fees. Whatever the reason, we can make you a fair cash offer and close on your terms — even if the house is move-in ready.
If speed, convenience, and certainty are important to you, we could be a great fit. It all starts with a conversation — no pressure, just options.
Yes — and in many cases, selling during pre-foreclosure is one of the best ways to avoid losing the home entirely. Every situation is different, and at HomeSellerCashOffer, we work one-on-one with homeowners to find the right solution for their specific challenge.
We’ve helped people in all kinds of tough situations — and pre-foreclosure is no exception. If you’re at risk of foreclosure, let’s talk. We’ll walk you through your options and create a plan to help you sell before it’s too late.
Yes, you can — and in many cases, selling quickly is the smartest way to avoid foreclosure. At HomeSellerCashOffer, we can often close in as little as three weeks, which means you could have cash in hand before your situation gets worse or another payment is missed.
We handle everything through a licensed title company and can work directly with your lender if needed to ensure a smooth, legal closing. If you’re falling behind and want to take control of the situation, we’re here to help — no judgment, just solutions.
Yes, if you’ve inherited a property, you have the legal right to sell it — whether it’s move-in ready, vacant, or still going through probate. At HomeSellerCashOffer, we regularly work with inherited properties and can guide you through the entire process, even if things are still tied up legally.
If probate is required, we can help connect you with a trusted local probate attorney, and in many cases, we’re even able to cover the cost to get the process moving. We understand that inheriting a house can come with a mix of emotional and financial stress — especially if the property needs repairs, is tied up with multiple heirs, or comes with back taxes or liens.
Whether the home is occupied, vacant, or filled with belongings, we’ll work with you to create a respectful, no-pressure plan. You don’t need to clean, fix, or prep anything. Just reach out, and we’ll walk you through your options.
1. Reach Out to Us
Call us at (727) 504-9873 or fill out the short contact form on this site. Just share a few basic details about your property so we can get started.
2. Get a Cash Offer
We’ll schedule a time to view the property and answer any questions you have. After evaluating the condition and running our numbers, we’ll present you with a no-obligation cash offer based on current market conditions.
3. Pick Your Closing Date

At HomeSellerCashOffer, we’re real estate investors — we buy houses, invest in renovations, and resell them on the market. That’s how we make a profit. But the value we provide to homeowners is speed, certainty, and simplicity.
After a quick walk-through and some basic questions, we’ll make you a fair, no-obligation cash offer based on your home’s future market value after repairs, minus the costs and time needed to complete those renovations.
Sellers benefit from:
No realtors or commissions
No repairs, no cleaning, no hassle — we buy your home as-is
We pay cash — so there are no bank delays or financing risks
We cover standard closing costs
You pick the closing date — we work on your timeline
We can close in as little as 3 weeks, or longer if needed
If you’re looking for a fast, respectful, and convenient way to sell, we’re here to help you move on with cash in hand — without the headaches of the traditional process.
We use a clear, data-driven process to calculate your cash offer — no guesswork, no games. Before making an offer, our local team carefully evaluates a few key factors:
The current condition of your home
The estimated cost of necessary repairs and renovations
The time and labor required to complete those renovations
The projected after-repair value (ARV) of your home based on similar homes in the neighborhood
The cost to resell, including future agent commissions and closing fees
Holding costs like insurance, utilities, taxes, and maintenance during the renovation period
We then subtract all of these costs from the home’s expected resale value. What’s left is the basis for your fair, no-obligation cash offer.
Our goal is to make you a straightforward offer that reflects the real costs of bringing the property to market — while giving you speed, convenience, and peace of mind in return.
Yes — we buy a wide range of property types beyond just single-family homes. This includes condos, townhouses, duplexes, triplexes, small multifamily properties, and in some cases, commercial buildings.
That said, some properties are more complicated than others. For example, condos and townhomes with strict HOAs, excessive fees, or heavy restrictions on leasing or renovations may limit our ability to move forward. Likewise, permits, zoning issues, or code violations can sometimes affect timelines or feasibility — but we’re still open to taking a look and finding a solution.
Absolutely not. Our entire process — from the initial call to the in-person walk-through and written offer — is 100% free, with no hidden fees, no service charges, and no obligation to accept the offer.
We’re here to help you explore your options, not pressure you into a decision. Whether you choose to move forward with us or not, there’s zero cost for having us evaluate the property and present a cash offer. Think of it as a no-risk way to get a real number on what your home could sell for — no strings attached.
Not at all. Requesting a cash offer or scheduling a visit comes with zero obligation. We’re happy to meet with you, walk through the property, answer any questions you have, and provide a no-pressure, no-strings-attached cash offer.
You’re completely free to accept, decline, or take your time to decide — whatever feels right for you. Our goal is simply to give you clear, honest information so you can make the best choice for your situation.

In many cases, we can make a cash offer on the spot. If you accept, we’ll handle all the paperwork and close through a licensed title company. The best part? We can close in as little as three weeks, or on your timeline if you need more flexibility. No agents, no repairs, no waiting. Just a faster, easier way to sell.
Selling a home through the traditional route in a slow market can take months — even with a great agent. Fewer buyers, longer negotiations, and tighter lending conditions all slow things down. But that’s exactly where HomeSellerCashOffer comes in.
We buy directly, with cash, and without relying on banks or buyer financing — so market conditions don’t slow us down. There are no listings, no showings, no waiting, and no worrying about a deal falling through. If the numbers work, we can make a fair cash offer and close in as little as 14 days, regardless of what the broader real estate market is doing.
In any market — hot or cold — we offer speed, certainty, and simplicity. Just reach out and we’ll walk you through your options.
Nothing — if you’re selling to HomeSellerCashOffer, there’s no need to fix or clean a thing. We buy houses exactly as they are, whether they need minor touch-ups or major repairs. You don’t have to spend a dime on renovations, painting, staging, or even sweeping the floors.
We make the process simple by buying as-is, so you can avoid the stress, cost, and time it usually takes to get a property “market ready.” Just take what you want, leave what you don’t — and we’ll handle the rest.
Once you accept our offer, we move fast. We work with licensed, local title companies to handle everything legally and securely — just like any traditional real estate transaction. They handle the paperwork, clear any title issues, and disburse your funds.
In most cases, you’ll be paid 14 to 21 days after accepting the offer, right after closing. No delays, no surprises — just a smooth, professional process from start to finish.
