The Franklin County market right now

Across all home types, Franklin County’s median sale price for the three months ending September 2026 was $578,705, down 2.7% from a year earlier, and the median home took 168 days to sell. Homes sold for about 93.5% of list price. With nearly six months on market, a house that needs work is a hard sell to a retail buyer.

Selling with code violations or liens in Franklin County

In unincorporated Franklin County, ordinance violations are handled by the Code Enforcement Division of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office in Eastpoint (850-247-2000) and heard before a magistrate. Apalachicola and Carrabelle handle their own code matters. A recorded fine becomes a lien on the property and the owner’s other property (Fla. Stat. 162.09). We get the payoff and pay it at closing.

Facing foreclosure in Franklin County

Franklin County holds foreclosure and tax deed sales in person at the Main Courthouse, 33 Market St., Apalachicola. Foreclosure bidders must appear in person and put down 5%. Tax deed sales are usually the first Monday of the month at 11 a.m. Both are run by Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller Michele Maxwell. The sale is set 20 to 35 days after final judgment (Fla. Stat. 45.031). We can close before it.

Inherited a house in Franklin County

Franklin is part of the 2nd Judicial Circuit with Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson, Liberty and Wakulla, and probate is filed with the Franklin Clerk. Summary administration is usually available for estates of $150,000 or less after exempt property, or when the owner died more than two years ago (Fla. Stat. 735.201).

Historic Apalachicola and the bay

Downtown Apalachicola and its older neighborhoods make up the Apalachicola Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1980 with about 652 historic buildings. The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission acts as its architectural review board for renovations and new construction there. The whole bay area is also an Area of Critical State Concern, so local land rules carry state oversight. On St. George Island and Alligator Point, storm and flood exposure come on top of that. We price in the review process and the flood risk and buy as-is.

What we buy and how it works

What we buy. All residential and commercial property: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings), mobile homes on land you own (not in land-lease parks), vacant lots and land, and commercial property (retail, office, industrial and mixed-use), as-is, in any condition. That includes the hard ones: code violations and liens, foreclosure, probate and inherited property, hostile holdover occupants, hoarder houses, and sinkhole, storm or flood damage.

How it works. 1) Tell us about the property online or call (786) 753-8500. 2) We look at it with you, in person or by video, and make a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. 3) You pick the closing date: as soon as 7 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard seller closing costs, and you pay no commissions. We buy directly; in some sales we close alongside a partner investor, but you sign one contract with us and get one closing date either way.
