Two ways to sell your Lehigh Acres house
For a dated or worn Lehigh Acres house, a cash offer means no cleanup and no showings, and you set the closing day. For one in fair shape, like the home above, the Retail Buyer Program aims for a buyer who wants to live here; your number is set in writing before it is listed, and price changes after that are ours to absorb.

A recent Lehigh Acres sale
The house showed better online than in person. The seller still got her number.
Retail Buyer Program · closed summer 2026
Lehigh Acres single-family home
- First asking price
- $225,000
- Final sale price
- $190,000
- First buyer found
- within 40 days
- Contract to closing
- about 70 days
- Seller's agreed net
- paid in full
The house was original and solid, but it needed a deep clean and updating. We agreed the seller's net in writing, then listed it at $225,000 with professional photos and a 3D walkthrough. Interest was strong, and buyers lined up to see it.
In person, buyers saw more work than the photos showed. The first buyer we found backed out, and the home eventually sold for $190,000. The drop came out of our side of the deal: our margin on this one was very small, and we also covered part of the seller's back taxes. A local Florida title company closed it, and the seller received her agreed price.
The takeaway: A fixed net is fixed. When the price had to come down, the seller was not the one who paid for it.

Behind on property taxes in Lee County? Know the dates
Back taxes come up often in Lehigh Acres sales, including the one above. The Lee County Tax Collector sets out what happens when they go unpaid:
- April 1: real estate taxes become delinquent, and 3% interest is added.
- Before the sale: the delinquent property is advertised once a week for three weeks, and the advertising fee is added to the bill.
- By June: if the taxes are still unpaid, the Tax Collector auctions a tax certificate. The certificate is a first lien on the property.
- Two years after delinquency: the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed, which can lead to a public auction of the house.
A certificate does not take the house away, but it does start a clock. A sale can usually pay the back taxes from your proceeds at closing, through the title company.
Offices you may deal with when selling in Lehigh Acres

Selling a house in Lehigh Acres: your questions
Can I sell my Lehigh Acres house if I owe back taxes?
Usually, yes. The title company pays what is owed from the sale proceeds at closing. On our last Lehigh Acres sale, we also covered part of the seller's back taxes ourselves.
What if my house needs more work than I thought?
That is what happened on the sale above. With a cash offer, we price the work in upfront. In the Retail Buyer Program, your net is agreed in writing before we market the home, and our price changes come out of our side.
Who closes the sale?
A licensed Florida title and escrow company handles it. Ownership transfers only after they sign off on a clear title and pay you.
