Selling with code violations or liens in DeSoto County

Under Florida law, a recorded code enforcement fine becomes a lien on the property and on any other real estate the owner holds, and it has to be paid or settled before a normal sale closes (Fla. Stat. 162.09). If your DeSoto County property has a code case or lien, with the county or Arcadia, we get the payoff and pay it at closing.

Facing foreclosure in DeSoto County

Florida forecloses through the courts. Once a judge enters final judgment, the sale is set 20 to 35 days later (Fla. Stat. 45.031) through the DeSoto County Clerk in Arcadia. Until the sale happens, you can still sell, and we can close in days.

Inherited a house in DeSoto County

DeSoto is part of the 12th Judicial Circuit with Manatee and Sarasota. 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).

Peace River flooding after Ian

After Hurricane Ian in September 2022, the Peace River at Arcadia broke its previous record of 20 feet and peaked near 24 feet, per the National Weather Service, against a normal level of about 12 feet. Homes along the river and in low parts of Arcadia flooded. A house with flood damage or a flood claim is hard to finance and insure. We buy those 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.
