Situations we help Key West owners with

  • Code enforcement fines and liens. In Key West, code enforcement is handled at City Hall, 1300 White Street, and cases are heard by a Special Magistrate in the Commission Chambers there. The City’s code (Chapter 2, Article VI, Division 2) has sections on the special magistrate, fines for noncompliance or repeat violations, and liens. State law (s. 162.09) caps fines at $250 a day for a first violation, $500 a day for a repeat and $5,000 for an irreparable violation, and only cities of 50,000 or more can adopt higher caps by ordinance. A recorded fine order becomes a lien, and after three months unpaid the city 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 Monroe County, foreclosure auctions are held in person on the front courthouse steps at the Clerk of the Court, 500 Whitehead Street, Key West, Monday through Friday. Bidders must show ID and a deposit of 5% of the bid (cashier’s check or cash) before the auction starts. Selling before the sale date can protect the equity you have left.
  • Behind on property taxes. In Monroe County, the tax deed sale is conducted by the Clerk of the Circuit Court after the certificate holder applies through the Tax Collector, and the deed goes to the highest bidder. The Tax Collector’s office is at 1200 Truman Ave., Key West, and the general line is (305) 295-5000.
  • 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.
  • Historic district and older homes. In Key West, the Historic Architectural Review Commission (HARC) oversees the City’s historic preservation districts, individually listed National Register buildings, and buildings listed as contributing in the City’s Historic Structure Survey. We buy these homes as they are, including ones with deferred maintenance.
  • 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.

The Key West market and your cash offer

Redfin reports a median sale price of $999,524 in Key West for the three months ending September 2026, with a median of 143 days on market (Redfin, retrieved Oct 30, 2026). Key West is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, and the City’s floodplain office notes coastal and shallow flooding and storm surge as hazards; each property’s flood hazard is shown on the adopted Flood Insurance Rate Map. A cash sale skips the repairs, inspections, appraisal and financing delays. Your offer is based on what similar Key West homes sell for after repairs, minus the actual repair cost. We walk you through the numbers.

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.
