Situations we help Palatka owners with

  • Code enforcement fines and liens. In Palatka, the City’s calendar lists Special Magistrate hearings, and the City’s notices place them in City Commission Chambers, 201 North 2nd Street. The City’s Code Enforcement page lists Code Enforcement at (386) 329-0100, ext. 331 (City main line (386) 329-0100), with Code Enforcement Officers Christy Lowe, Harold Bartelli and Melissa Dreyer, and codeenforcement@palatka-fl.gov. State law (s. 162.09) caps fines at $250 a day for a first violation and $500 a day for a repeat violation, with a cap of $5,000 for an irreparable violation; only cities of 50,000 or more can adopt higher caps by ordinance. Palatka’s 2020 census population was 10,446, below that threshold. 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 Putnam County, foreclosure sales are listed at putnam.realforeclose.com. The Clerk’s page says the Circuit Civil Department conducts them under Florida Statute 45 and that all bidder deposits must reach the Clerk’s Office by 5:00 p.m. on the Monday before the sale. Selling before the sale date can protect the equity you have left.
  • Behind on property taxes. Putnam County tax deed sale listings are on the Clerk’s site, and bidder deposits can be made online at putnam.realtaxdeed.com. The Clerk’s page says the deposit is $200 or 5% of your maximum bid, whichever is greater, and must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the Monday before the sale. Questions can go to the Clerk at (386) 326-7600.
  • 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.
