Here's our model in one sentence: we've vetted a network of local cash buyers across Florida, and when you tell us about your Alachua County property, we match it with the buyer best positioned to make a strong offer and actually close. You pay nothing, you're obligated to nothing, and you get a real number — usually within 24 hours. In a county of about 285,492 people where the typical home runs $289,000, situations like this are more common than anyone admits out loud.
Why the matchmaker model instead of "we buy houses" directly? Because the buyer who pays the most for a rental with tenants is rarely the one who pays the most for a probate estate or a fire-damaged colonial. Matching each property to the right specialist — and keeping only buyers who close at their offered price — is how sellers here get both speed and a fair number.

Florida law, in plain English
Every Florida foreclosure goes through court. Uncontested cases can move in 6-8 months, but answering the complaint and asserting defenses commonly stretches the case past a year — time a seller can use. Florida's right of redemption ends when the clerk files the certificate of sale — usually the day after auction — so the real deadline is the sale date itself.
Florida requires an attorney for formal probate administration. Summary administration is available for estates under $75,000 or deaths more than two years past, and Florida's homestead rules add a unique wrinkle: the homestead often passes outside the claims of creditors.
Florida's documentary stamp tax is $0.70 per $100 of price ($0.60 in Miami-Dade plus surtax) — about $2,100 on a $300,000 sale, customarily paid by the seller. None of this is legal advice — but knowing the local rules is why a genuinely Florida-based buyer prices and closes better than a national call center.

Alachua County seller questions, answered
What kinds of properties do buyers purchase in Alachua County?
Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes and small multifamily, inherited properties, rentals (occupied or vacant), and houses in any condition — from move-in ready to condemned. If it has a deed in Florida, there's very likely a buyer in the network for it.
What happens to my equity if the foreclosure completes?
Auction sales routinely clear below market value, and the proceeds first pay the lender's balance, accrued fees, legal costs, and junior liens. Any surplus legally belongs to you — but after all deductions there's often little or nothing left, and claiming a surplus can itself require a legal process. Selling before auction at a real market-based price is how you convert equity into money you actually receive.
The house is full of my parent's belongings. Do we have to clear it out?
No. Buyers in our network purchase inherited homes with contents in place — it's one of the most common requests they see. Take the photographs, documents, and keepsakes that matter; leave furniture, boxes, and everything else. For out-of-town heirs especially, this removes the single biggest practical barrier to getting the estate settled.
What about code violations, open permits, or condemned status?
All sellable. Investors deal with Alachua County code enforcement, unpermitted additions, and condemnation regularly; fines and liens are typically settled from proceeds at closing, and the buyer takes on the remediation. Bring the paperwork you have and let the buyer's team sort the rest.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. Fast Local Buyers charges sellers nothing — we're compensated by the buyer network, not by you. There are no agent commissions (typically 5-6% in a traditional sale) and the buyer covers standard closing costs in a typical transaction. The offer you accept is the amount you should expect at closing, less your mortgage payoff and any liens.
How is the offer amount determined?
Buyers start from what your home would sell for in Alachua County fully updated — local values here run around $289,000 at the median — then subtract the actual cost of repairs and renovation, their holding and transaction costs, and a reasonable margin. Legitimate buyers will walk you through that math openly. Because network buyers know they're being compared, offers are built to win the deal.
