South Florida House Answers

Selling a hard-to-sell house in Miami-Dade or Broward

Maybe you inherited a house that's still in probate, or there's a code lien, back taxes or a roof that needs replacing. These guides walk through how it works in Florida in plain English. If you'd rather sell as-is, you can ask Deniss for a cash offer. He reads every message himself, and a question is enough.

Houses Deniss can help with

Inherited or in probate

A parent or relative passed and the house is still in their name. Maybe probate is open, or nobody has started it yet.

How to sell an inherited house during probate

Code violations and liens

Open code cases, fines that keep adding up, or work done without a permit that shows up when you try to sell.

Behind on property taxes

A tax certificate was sold on the house, or you got a notice about a tax deed application.

Needs a lot of work

Old roof, water damage, a big cleanout, or tenants who left it rough. You don't have to fix it first.

How an as-is offer works

  1. Tell Deniss about the house with the short form. It takes a few minutes.
  2. Deniss looks up the public records for the address, then calls or emails you with questions. If it looks like a fit, he sets up a time to see the house.
  3. You get a written offer. You can take it, turn it down, or show it to your agent or attorney first.
  4. If you take it, a title company handles the closing. You and Deniss set the closing date together, around what works for you, and you don't have to clean out or fix anything.

Your other options

An as-is sale isn't right for every house. If the house is in good shape and you have time, listing it with a real estate agent will usually get you a higher price. Fixing it up first can raise the price too, if someone can pay for the repairs and manage the work. An as-is cash sale makes the most sense when the house needs work, the family lives far away, or you need a closing date that fits a probate or tax deadline.

Ask a question or get an as-is offer

So the answer fits your situation.
"Just looking into it" is a fine answer.
A question is enough. You don't have to be ready to sell.
