Frequently Asked Questions

We talk with Florida homeowners every day — from probate and co‑ownership issues to foreclosure, code violations, and rental challenges. These questions come up the most. Our goal is to give you clear, honest answers so you can understand your options and move forward with confidence.

How does your cash offer process work?

We keep the process simple. You tell us about the property, we take a look at the condition, and we prepare a clear cash offer based on today’s market. If the offer works for you, we handle everything from paperwork to closing. If it doesn’t, there’s no pressure and no obligation.

How fast can you make an offer on my house?

Most of the time, we can make an offer the same day you reach out. If you call or text during business hours, you’ll usually hear back within minutes. If you need someone urgently, calling is always the fastest option.

Do I need to clean, repair, or fix anything before selling?

No. You don’t need to clean, repair, or fix anything. We buy houses in any condition, including properties with deferred maintenance, clutter, damage, or issues that would make a traditional sale difficult.

What types of situations do you help with in Florida?

We help with almost any situation, including probate, inherited property, co‑owner disputes, partial‑interest sales, foreclosure, missed payments, code violations, liens, problem tenants, vacant homes, and properties that need repairs. If it’s stressful or complicated, we’ve likely handled it before.

Can you buy my house if I’m in foreclosure or behind on payments?

Yes. We regularly help homeowners who are behind on payments or facing foreclosure. The sooner you reach out, the more options you have. We can move quickly and work with your timeline.

Can you buy a house stuck in probate or inherited by multiple heirs?

Yes. We work with probate attorneys, personal representatives, and families across Florida to help them sell inherited property. Whether probate is already filed or still needs to be started, we can guide you through the process and help you move forward.

Can you buy my share of a house if I have co‑owners?

Yes. We specialize in partial‑interest and co‑ownership situations. Whether you’re dealing with an uncooperative sibling, an ex‑partner, or multiple heirs, we can buy your share directly or help create a solution that works for everyone involved.

What if the property has code violations, liens, or open permits?

We buy properties with code violations, liens, open permits, and other issues that make traditional sales difficult. These problems are common in Florida, and we’re familiar with resolving them during the closing process.

Do you buy houses with tenants or squatters?

Yes. We buy rental properties with tenants, non‑paying tenants, inherited tenants, and even squatters. You don’t need to remove anyone before selling. We handle the situation after closing.

Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs?

No. There are no commissions, no fees, and no closing costs. We cover everything. The price we agree on is the amount you receive at closing.

What happens after I submit my information?

A Florida home‑buying specialist will reach out to learn more about your situation, answer your questions, and schedule a quick walkthrough if needed. After that, we prepare your offer. There’s no pressure and no obligation.

Is there any obligation when I request an offer?

No. Requesting an offer is completely free and comes with zero obligation. You’re in full control of the decision, and we’re here to help you understand your options.

Will you still buy my house if I’m working with a realtor?

Yes. If you’re already listed, we can still make an offer. You may need to review your agreement with your agent to understand any commissions or obligations, but we’re happy to talk through your options.

How quickly can you close?

We can close in as little as seven days, or take more time if you need it. You choose the timeline. Some sellers want a fast closing, while others need extra time to move or coordinate next steps.

Do you buy condos, townhomes, mobile homes, or land?

Yes. We buy single‑family homes, condos, townhomes, mobile homes, multifamily properties, and land throughout Florida.

Where in Florida do you buy houses?

We buy properties throughout Florida, including Broward, Miami‑Dade, Palm Beach, and most surrounding counties. If you own a property anywhere in the state, we can help. View all Florida service areas on our site.

Is my information kept private?

Yes. Your information is confidential and never shared or sold. We use your details only to contact you about your property or your questions.

How do you determine your offer price?

We look at the property’s condition, the neighborhood, recent comparable sales, and any repairs or updates the home may need. Then we prepare a fair cash offer based on today’s market. We’re transparent about how we arrive at our numbers.

Why should I choose Official Cash Offer over listing with an agent?

Listing with an agent can be a great option if your home is in good condition and you have time to wait for the right buyer. Many homeowners choose us because they want a private, fast, as‑is sale without repairs, showings, or uncertainty. We help you avoid the stress and move forward on your timeline.

What makes you different from other cash buyers?

We’re a Florida‑based team that focuses on clarity, honesty, and real solutions. We don’t use pressure tactics or lowball offers. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options, and help you choose the path that makes the most sense — even if that means not selling to us.
