How we help you work toward closing
We review the house as-is and talk through the payoff and sale date. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. If you choose to move forward, the title company reviews title and payoff details and coordinates the closing.
Which sale is on your notice?
A Florida mortgage foreclosure is a court case. After final judgment, the court directs the clerk to hold a public auction, normally 20–35 days later, with statutory notice published before the sale. Check the auction date in your judgment and current case notices.
The borrower or someone with a lower-priority interest in the property may cure and redeem before the later of the clerk filing the certificate of sale or the time set in the judgment. After that cutoff, there is no right of redemption.
See Florida Statute §702.01, §45.031, and §45.0315 for the court-sale and redemption rules.
A tax deed sale is separate: it concerns unpaid property taxes, not a mortgage loan, and has its own notice and deadline. If you have a tax-deed notice, use the date and contact information on it.
If the payoff is the problem
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
We can review the payoff and title details with you so you can see what needs to be covered at closing.
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
What happens next
- Call us or use the form. We'll talk through the house, payoff, and sale date with you.
- We review the house and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to move forward, a title company reviews title and payoff details and coordinates the closing.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Florida documentary stamp tax and, where applicable, the Miami-Dade deed surtax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.

Is a mortgage foreclosure the same as a tax deed sale?
No. A mortgage foreclosure is a court case tied to a mortgage. A tax deed sale follows a separate process tied to unpaid property taxes, with its own notice and deadline. If you have a tax-deed notice, use the date and contact information on it.

Do I have to pay back taxes or liens before closing?
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
