Situations we help Umatilla owners with

  • Code enforcement fines and liens. In Umatilla, the City’s Code Enforcement page says the City Council gives the Code Enforcement Officer authority to enforce Chapters 34 and 58 of the City Code, which the page describes as supplemental to the procedures in Chapter 162 of the Florida Statutes. The page does not say who hears cases, and gives no hearing schedule or fine amounts. The City lists (352) 669-3125 as its main number; City Hall is at 1 South Central Avenue, by appointment only. 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. Umatilla’s 2020 census population was 3,741. 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 Lake County, foreclosure sales are held in person by the Clerk of Court at the Lake County Courthouse, 550 W. Main St., Tavares, on weekdays at 11:00 a.m. when scheduled, usually in the first-floor Jury Assembly Room. The winning bidder must deposit 5% immediately and pay the balance by 4:00 p.m. that afternoon unless the final judgment says otherwise. Selling before the sale date can protect the equity you have left.
  • Behind on property taxes. Lake County tax deed sales are run by the Clerk as online auctions at lake.realtaxdeed.com, usually on several Tuesdays a month at 11:15 a.m. Bidders must register by the day before the sale and post a deposit ($200 for winning bids of $4,000 or less, 5% of the bid above that), and the balance is due within 24 hours after the sale. For questions, the Clerk’s Tax Deed Section is at (352) 253-2620.
  • 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 Umatilla market and your cash offer

Redfin reports a median sale price of $318K in Umatilla for the three months ending June 2026, down 4.8% from the same period a year earlier, with 38 homes sold in June (Redfin, retrieved Nov 2, 2026).

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.
