Situations we help Gainesville owners with

  • Code enforcement fines and liens. The City of Gainesville Code Enforcement Division enforces city codes. Cases that are not resolved go to a Special Magistrate, who hears them monthly and can assess costs and daily fines. Under Florida law (Fla. Stat. 162.09) a recorded fine order becomes a lien on the property and on the violator’s other real and personal property. Call Code Enforcement at 352-334-5030 to ask about a case or lien. Unincorporated Alachua County has its own separate code office. We buy houses with open cases and liens, and the fines are settled from the sale at closing.
  • Foreclosure. In Alachua County, foreclosure sales are held online through the Clerk of Court. If you have received a foreclosure notice, selling before the sale date can protect your credit and any equity you have.
  • Behind on property taxes. Unpaid Alachua County taxes can lead to a tax deed sale: a tax certificate holder can apply for a tax deed after two years, and the Clerk holds the auction online. Selling first lets you keep the equity instead of losing it at auction.
  • Inherited and probate homes. We can buy while probate is open and work with your attorney. You do not need to clean out the house.
  • Storm, tree and flood damage. Hurricane Helene (September 2024) knocked trees onto homes in Gainesville, and low-lying areas such as Hills of Santa Fe, Meadowbrook and Hayes Glen have flooded in past storms. We buy damaged houses as-is.
  • Sinkholes. Alachua County says sinkholes are most common in its western and central areas, where limestone sits close to the surface. We buy houses with sinkhole history, repaired or not.
  • Tired student rentals and problem tenants. About three in four UF students live off campus, which means heavy turnover and wear on rental houses. We buy tenant-occupied homes, including properties with holdover occupants.
  • Hoarder houses, fire damage, unpermitted work. If a regular buyer’s lender will not touch it, we can still make an offer.

The Gainesville market right now

Gainesville-area median sale prices were about $314,000 in January–June 2026, roughly flat (−0.3%) from a year earlier, with homes taking about 55 days to sell, according to Redfin data reported by WFTV/Stacker (Aug 3, 2026). Listed homes that need work can sit longer. A cash sale skips the repairs, inspections, appraisal and financing delays.

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.
