Situations we help Lake Wales owners with

  • Code enforcement fines and liens. In Lake Wales, the City’s Code Enforcement Board page says the board can impose administrative fines and other noncriminal penalties for violations of City ordinances covering health and sanitation, occupational licensing, fire, building, zoning and signs. The board meets on the second Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at 201 W Central Avenue, and the City lists City Hall at (863) 678-4182. The City’s Code Compliance Division is at (863) 676-5118. The City’s code enforcement FAQ says fines may not exceed $250 a day per violation, or $500 a day for a repeat violation, which matches state law (s. 162.09), where the cap for an irreparable violation is $5,000 and only cities of 50,000 or more can adopt higher caps by ordinance. Lake Wales’s 2020 census population was 16,361. 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 Polk County, foreclosure sales are run online by the Clerk of the Circuit Court through polk.realforeclose.com. Recent legal notices for Polk sales state that bidding begins at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. For auction process questions, the Clerk directs people to its Civil Law Department, and the Clerk’s main number is (863) 534-4000. Selling before the sale date can protect the equity you have left.
  • Behind on property taxes. Polk County tax deed sales are held online at polk.realtaxdeed.com on the third Thursday of each month, beginning promptly at 9:30 a.m. Bidders must register online, and the deposit must be in their account before the sale; the Clerk states the deposit is 5% of the final bid or $200, whichever is greater. For redemption amounts, the Clerk refers people to the Polk County Tax Collector at (863) 534-4700.
  • 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.

The Lake Wales market and your cash offer

Redfin reports a median sale price of $254K in Lake Wales for the three months ending September 2026, down 9.38% from the same period a year earlier, with 104 homes sold in September (Redfin, retrieved Nov 2, 2026). A cash sale skips the repairs, inspections, appraisal and financing delays. Your offer is based on what similar Lake Wales 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.
