Situations we help Winter Haven owners with

  • Code enforcement fines and liens. In Winter Haven, code violations are handled by the City’s Code Compliance Division (Safe Neighborhoods), reachable at (863) 291-5697. Cases go before the Code Compliance Special Magistrate, who hears them on the third Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m. in the John Fuller Auditorium at City Hall, 451 3rd Street NW. The City posts an agenda for each hearing and accepts requests to reduce a fine or lien once the property is in compliance. 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 a city 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 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. 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.

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.
