Situations we help Fruit Cove owners with

  • Code enforcement fines and liens. Fruit Cove is unincorporated (a census-designated place with a 2020 census population of 32,143), so there is no city code enforcement and St. Johns County Code Enforcement handles property violations. The County’s page says that if a property is still out of compliance after re-inspection, a hearing is set before the Special Magistrate, a quasi-judicial officer appointed by the County Commission, whose order is binding and can be appealed to Circuit Court; the page does not give a hearing schedule or location and lists the Code Enforcement Section at 209-0734. The County’s page says the Special Magistrate can levy fines of up to $1,000 a day for a first violation, up to $5,000 a day for a repeat violation and up to $15,000 for an irreparable violation, which matches the higher caps that s. 162.09 allows counties of 50,000 or more to adopt by ordinance (the state default is $250, $500 and $5,000). The County also issues citations of $118 for a first offense and $268 for a repeat offense. A recorded fine order becomes a lien, and after three months unpaid the local government can pursue foreclosure or a money judgment, though a lien cannot be foreclosed on homestead property. We pay liens from the sale proceeds at closing.
  • Foreclosure. In St. Johns County, the Clerk of the Circuit Court holds foreclosure sales online at saintjohns.realforeclose.com, on set Thursdays, and the Clerk’s page says all foreclosure sales begin promptly at 12:00 p.m. Eastern. Bidders must register and fund their account with at least 5% of the planned high bid before the sale, and the balance and court registry fees are due by 2:00 p.m. the next business day. Selling before the sale date can protect the equity you have left.
  • Behind on property taxes. St. Johns County tax deed sales are run by the Clerk in person at the Richard O. Watson Judicial Center, 4010 Lewis Speedway, St. Augustine, generally on Wednesdays at 12:00 p.m. Eastern; the Clerk’s page says you or a representative must be present to bid. The winning bidder pays a nonrefundable deposit at the sale of 5% of the bid or $200, whichever is greater, in cash or certified funds, and the remaining costs are due within 24 hours. A tax deed sale can wipe out your ownership, so selling first can protect your equity.
  • HOA assessments and violations. If your home is in an association, Florida law (s. 720.3085) lets an association with the right in its governing documents hold a lien for unpaid assessments. It must give 45 days’ written notice before recording it and can foreclose after a further 45-day notice. A new owner can be jointly liable with the prior owner for assessments owed before the transfer, so a sale needs to clear that balance. If the home is rented, the association can demand rent from the tenant until the debt is paid. We handle the payoff from the sale proceeds.
  • Inherited and probate homes. We can buy while probate is open and work with your attorney.
  • Rentals and problem tenants. We buy tenant-occupied homes and homes with holdover occupants; you do not have to evict first.
  • Hoarder houses, fire damage, unpermitted work. We buy them as they are.

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.
