A few of the houses I've handled across Central Florida, newest first. Every situation is different, but most had one thing in common: the house had become a burden, and listing it wasn't realistic.

The House Overrun With Cats and Mold
- Area
- Orlando, 32819
- Year
- 2020
- Situation
- Owner could no longer live in the house
- Condition
- Heavy mold, animal damage
The owner couldn't stay in the house anymore because of the mold, and didn't want a stream of strangers walking through it for showings. I made them a cash offer as-is, so they never had to clean, repair, or show it, and the sale closed on their timeline.
The Fire-Damaged Rental
- Area
- Orlando, 32807
- Year
- 2020
- Situation
- Inherited rental, vacant for about 3 years
- Condition
- Fire damage in the living room
The family had rented this house out until a fire made it unlivable. After their father passed, it sat empty while they kept paying taxes and yard upkeep on a house they couldn't rent or easily sell. I made a cash offer on it as-is, the sale closed, and the family closed that chapter.
The House With a Hole in the Roof
- Area
- Winter Haven, 33881
- Year
- 2020
- Situation
- Inherited, vacant, being vandalized
- Condition
- Storm damage, large hole in the roof
This was the seller's father's house. After sitting empty, a storm tore a hole in the roof and neighborhood kids kept breaking in. Few buyers would finance a house in that shape. I made a cash offer as-is and the sale closed quickly, so the seller didn't have to put any more money into it.
