Tampa houses we buy
We buy 1920s bungalows in Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights and West Tampa, block ranches in Sulphur Springs, East Tampa and Town 'N' Country, and suburban houses in Brandon and across Hillsborough County. Storm and water damage, old roofs, outdated electrical panels and sinkhole concerns are what we see most.
Florida details that affect a sale
Storm and flood damage
The 2024 hurricanes left many Tampa Bay houses with flood or wind damage, and not every owner can fund the repairs or wait out an insurance claim. We buy damaged houses as-is (selling with water damage).
Insurance and older roofs
Many Florida insurers won't write or renew policies on older roofs or houses with dated electrical and plumbing, and a buyer can't get a mortgage without insurance. A cash sale avoids that problem.
Florida foreclosures go through the courts
Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, so the lender has to file a lawsuit in circuit court and get a judgment before a sale. That often takes many months, and you can sell any time before the sale date. More on selling to avoid foreclosure.
Military moves
MacDill Air Force Base brings frequent PCS moves. We can close around your report date. See selling when you relocate.
Probate
Florida has special homestead rules that can limit who inherits a primary residence when the owner leaves a spouse or minor child, and smaller estates may qualify for summary administration. See selling an inherited house.
Why Tampa owners sell to us
- Storm or flood damage
- Insurance non-renewal
- Inherited houses
- Pre-foreclosure
- Tired landlords (selling a house with tenants)
How it works
If listing with an agent would net you more, for example because the house is updated and you have time, we'll say so.
