Local know-how
Selling a house in Florida: what to know
Insurance has become the deciding factor in many Florida sales. Insurers often won't write a new policy on an older roof, and premiums in coastal counties have climbed sharply. A buyer with a mortgage needs that policy before closing; a cash buyer doesn't have to wait on one.
Condo owners face their own pressure. Since the 2021 Surfside collapse, Florida requires structural inspections and fully funded reserves for many older condo buildings, which has brought large special assessments and made some units hard to finance.
Hurricanes, wind and flood
Roof age, wind mitigation and flood zone drive insurance costs. Damage from storms like Ian, Helene or Milton doesn't have to be repaired before a cash sale.
Older roofs
Many insurers hesitate to cover roofs that are 15 to 20 years old. We buy with the roof you have.
Flood disclosure
Since October 2025, Florida sellers must disclose known flood damage, flood insurance claims and federal flood assistance. A flood history doesn't stop a cash sale.
Sinkholes and termites
West-central Florida, from Tampa north through Pasco and Hernando counties, is known for sinkholes, and termites are a year-round issue statewide.
Inherited homes
Florida's Save Our Homes cap doesn't pass to heirs, so an inherited house is usually reassessed. Many heirs sell rather than carry the higher tax bill.
How it works
How to sell your Florida house for cash
Three steps from first contact to closing, wherever the property is in Florida.
Step 1
Tell us about the property
Share the address, the property type and the best way to reach you. It takes about two minutes, and there is no obligation.
Step 2
Get a written cash offer
We look at the property and recent sales nearby, then send a fair cash offer: within 24 hours for homes and 72 hours for land and commercial property.
Step 3
Close when you're ready
Pick the closing date. We close through a licensed title company or closing attorney in as little as 7 days for homes (10 for other property), and you are paid at closing.
Compare your options
Cash offer vs. listing your Florida house
Both can be the right choice. Here is how they differ on the things that usually decide it.
| Topic | Cash offer from Serden | Listing with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Time to an offer | 24 hours for homes, 72 hours for other property | Weeks or months on the market |
| Closing | As little as 7 days, or on the date you choose | Usually 30 to 60 days after an offer is accepted |
| Repairs and cleaning | None. We buy as-is | Often expected before listing or after the inspection |
| Showings and open houses | None | Many, on the buyer's schedule |
| Agent commissions | None | Often 5% to 6% of the price, depending on what you negotiate |
| Closing costs | We cover standard closing costs | Seller usually pays a share |
| Financing risk | None. We pay cash | A buyer's loan can fall through late |
| Price | A fair cash price that reflects repairs and our risk | Potentially higher, before commissions, repairs and months of holding costs |
Listing can bring a higher price for a house in move-in condition when you have time to wait. A cash sale is built for speed, certainty and property that needs work. Compare the offer with what you would net after commissions, repairs and months of mortgage, taxes and utilities.

How to vet any Florida cash buyer, including us
Most cash buyers are legitimate, but the industry has its share of lowball bait-and-switch offers and companies that never intended to buy. These checks protect you whoever you sell to.
- Get the offer in writing It should show the price, any fees or deductions, who pays which closing costs, and the closing date.
- Close with a licensed title company or attorney Look them up yourself. They hold the money and record the deed, so neither side handles the funds directly.
- Never pay to get an offer A legitimate buyer doesn't charge an application, inspection or "processing" fee up front.
- Ask who is actually buying Some companies sign a contract and then sell it to another investor. Ask whether the company on the contract will be the one closing.
- Ask for proof of funds A cash buyer should be able to show the money is available before you take the house off the market.
- Compare it with listing Weigh the offer against what you would net after commissions, repairs, closing costs and months of carrying the property.
Any condition, any situation
We buy Florida houses in any condition
From a dated house in Tampa to an inherited property in Orlando that nobody has lived in for years: you don't have to fix it or clear it out first.
-
Inherited or probate property
Sell a house you inherited without clearing it out, fixing it up or managing it from far away.
-
Behind on payments
A quick sale can pay off the loan before a foreclosure finishes and protect what equity is left.
-
Divorce or separation
A clean cash sale with one closing date makes it simpler to divide the proceeds and move on.
-
Relocating
Moving for work or family? Close before you go, or after, without carrying two housing payments.
-
Tired landlord
Sell a rental with tenants in place, overdue repairs or a lease that still has months to run.
-
Major repairs
Fire, water, foundation, roof or mold damage: we price the work in so you don't have to do it.
-
Downsizing or retiring
Sell the family home on your schedule and leave behind anything you don't want to move.
-
Liens, back taxes or code violations
Liens and unpaid taxes are paid from the sale at closing, and open violations become our problem.
Questions and answers
Questions about selling a house in Florida
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Florida?
Request an offer and we send a written cash offer for a Florida home within 24 hours (72 hours for land and commercial property). Once you accept and the title is clear, most homes close in as little as 7 days. If you need longer, you choose the date.
Can I sell my Florida house if the roof is too old to insure?
Yes. An uninsurable roof is one of the most common reasons Florida sales fall apart, because the buyer's lender requires coverage. We pay cash, so the closing doesn't depend on a new policy. The roof is priced into the offer.
Do you buy condos in Florida buildings with special assessments?
Yes. We buy units in buildings with pending milestone inspections, reserve studies or large special assessments, including some that lenders won't finance. Share the association's latest notices and we'll account for what's owed and what's coming.
Can I sell my Florida house if I'm facing foreclosure?
Usually, yes, until the foreclosure sale. Foreclosures in Florida generally go through the courts, which usually takes months and gives you time to sell before a sale date is set. Selling for cash can pay off the loan and stop the foreclosure. A HUD-approved housing counselor (free or low cost) or a local real estate attorney can walk you through every option.
Do you buy houses in Miami, Tampa and Orlando and smaller Florida towns?
Yes. We buy in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Fort Lauderdale, Cape Coral and Tallahassee, and in suburbs, small towns and rural areas across Florida. Location affects the offer, not whether we make one.
What does it cost to sell my Florida house to Serden?
Nothing out of pocket. There are no commissions or fees, and we cover the standard closing costs. Any mortgage, liens or unpaid property taxes are paid from the sale at closing, and the rest is yours.
