In Pre-Foreclosure in Florida? The Clock Is Real — But You Still Have Moves.

Real Case — Attorney-Closed, 2024

A homeowner was behind on payments and upside down, with a code lien on top. We took over her existing mortgage dollar-for-dollar and covered closing costs — she brought $0 to closing.

What's the main situation?

Where Most People Get Stuck — and Lose the House Anyway

The formal process has started. That changes what works and what doesn't.

Wrong clock

Waiting for it to resolve itself

In Florida, the final judgment sets the foreclosure sale date not less than 20 nor more than 35 days out. That window closes whether you act or not. Doing nothing is the one move that guarantees the worst outcome.

Bad numbers

Not knowing your real reinstatement amount

There is no standard reinstatement dollar amount — the only real number is the lender's written reinstatement quote. We request it with you so you know exactly what it would cost to catch up before we discuss any other option.

Lost equity

Going to auction with equity left in the house

If you owe less than the home is worth, that difference can disappear at a courthouse auction. A sale before the sale date — where time allows — puts that money in your pocket instead.

Most Investors Only Give One Option. We Give Three.

Because every situation is different. Sometimes you need speed, sometimes you need the most money.

Best for Speed

Net Cash Offer

A guaranteed cash price. We typically cover all standard closing costs. We buy as-is. You pick the closing date.

Closes in as little as 10–14 days
No repairs needed

Best for Max Value

Terms (Higher Price)

We pay you a higher purchase price in exchange for paying over time (monthly). Everything secured by attorneys.

Real Closings — Redacted HUD Proof

We Don't Just Promise Solutions. We Prove Them.

Each card shows a real situation we solved — with a redacted closing statement you can review. Look for "Due to Seller" on the HUD.

InheritanceTenantsCode Issue

"She feared losing her water."

Situation: Inherited mobile home. Tenant trashed it. Shared well + code restrictions blocked a normal sale.
What we did: Structured a plan that protected her living situation and water rights.
Result: Clean closing with net proceeds in hand — no panic decisions.

LandlordTenantsRepairs

"She wanted out — without hurting tenants."

Situation: Burned-out landlord. Repairs needed. Didn't want to displace tenants or manage contractors.
What we did: Presented cash and terms options. Committed to keep tenants in place short-term.
Result: Sold without showings, repairs, or tenant chaos.

Late PaymentsLienRepairs

"She was upside down and stuck."

Situation: Behind on payments. Code lien. Would've needed cash to close a traditional sale.
What we did: Took over the existing mortgage and covered closing costs — no out-of-pocket for her.
Result: She walked away without bringing a check to closing.

Straight Answers — No Runaround

The questions we hear most from sellers in your situation.

Not automatically. Our typical cash close is 10–14 days, and our fastest was 6 days — where enough time remains before the auction, a sale to us is a real option. Call 904-850-8900 with the sale date and we'll tell you plainly whether the timeline works.

Redemption means paying off the full judgment amount to keep the house — under Florida law, that right effectively ends when the clerk files the certificate of sale at the auction. Reinstatement means catching up on missed payments and fees according to the lender's written quote, which stops the foreclosure if done in time. We'll request the lender's reinstatement quote with you so you have the real number before deciding anything.

That situation gives you more room. We cover it on our behind-on-payments page — the options are similar but the clock is less compressed. If nothing has been filed yet, reach out today before that changes.

Nothing. No fees, no commissions to you, no obligation. We cover standard closing costs on cash deals. If listing with an agent would net you more — after their commission, carrying costs, and repair budget — we tell you that in the written Truth Check.

We can't stop the foreclosure — the court controls that. What we can do is close fast enough that you sell the house before the auction happens, or in some cases structure a payment takeover that satisfies the lender. We're straight about what's possible and what isn't. Your attorney should review any agreement before you sign.

⚠️ The sale date moves whether you call or not.
