Sell your Florida house fast: a cash offer, or a fixed net

Two ways to sell your Florida house
Cash offer. Send the address and a few photos, and we come back with a written as-is price and how we got there. Nothing to fix or clean, nobody walking through on short notice. A Florida title company closes it, as soon as about 15 days or on whatever later date suits you. More on the cash offer.
Retail Buyer Program. When a Florida house is in decent shape, selling it to an owner-occupant usually beats an investor price. We put your net in writing first, then market the home with a licensed agent and up to $15,000 in buyer credits instead of repairs. Allow about 60 days. More on the program.

What to know about selling in Florida
How a Florida sale closes with us
Our Florida sales close with a licensed title and escrow company. The buyer's money goes to them, not to us. They search the title, pay off the mortgage and any liens from the proceeds, and send you the rest. Title only changes hands once the title company has confirmed it is clear and your funds are released.
Documentary stamp tax on the deed
Florida charges documentary stamp tax when a deed is recorded. In every county except Miami-Dade the rate is 70 cents per $100 of the price, rounded up to the next $100. On a $200,000 sale that is $1,400. Miami-Dade uses 60 cents per $100, plus a 45-cent surtax on property other than a single-family home.
The contract says who pays it. The Florida Department of Revenue notes that all parties to the deed are liable for the tax, whatever the contract says, so it should be settled at closing.
Selling an inherited Florida house
Smaller estates may qualify for summary administration, a shorter probate process. In 2026 Florida raised the limit: it is available when the estate, not counting property that is exempt from creditors, is worth no more than $150,000, or when the owner died more than two years ago.
Florida also protects a homestead. If the owner left a spouse or a minor child, the home generally cannot be left to someone else in a will, apart from leaving it to the spouse when there is no minor child. That can change who has to sign, so it is worth sorting out early. See our guide to selling a house in probate.
Foreclosure in Florida goes through the courts
Florida law says "all mortgages shall be foreclosed in equity", which means a lender has to file a lawsuit and get a judgment before the house can be sold. That takes time, and it gives you a window to sell first.
The window does not stay open forever. Under Florida law you can redeem the property until the later of two points: when the clerk of court files the certificate of sale after the auction, or the time set in the foreclosure judgment. A sale that closes before then can pay off the loan from the proceeds. If you have a sale date, tell us when you first get in touch.
This is a plain-language summary, not legal or tax advice, and rules change. Check with a local attorney or title professional before you rely on it.

Selling in Florida: questions
Do you buy houses everywhere in Florida?
We buy in many Florida markets, and the cities listed on this page are where we have a local guide. If yours is not listed, send the address through the form and we will tell you quickly whether we can make an offer.
Can I sell my Florida house before the foreclosure sale?
Often, yes. Florida foreclosures go through the court, and a sale that pays off the loan can close before the clerk files the certificate of sale. The earlier you start, the more options you have. See selling a house in foreclosure.
