Want a fast, hassle-free sale without repairs, showings, or financing delays? Here’s exactly how a legitimate cash home sale works in Orlando, when it’s the right move, what it costs, how long it takes, and how to vet cash buyers (so you avoid the games).


What “cash buyer” actually means

A real cash buyer can prove funds (bank statement or verified letter), uses a reputable local title company, and signs a clear, plain-English contract. Many “cash” ads are wholesalers who assign the contract to someone else—sometimes fine, sometimes messy. You just want proof of funds + a clean path to close.


Our 7-step Orlando cash-offer process (simple + fast)

  1. Request an offerSend the address + condition notes (photos or a quick walkthrough).

  2. Underwriting (same day whenever possible)We evaluate comps, repairs, and exit options. We show our assumptions so you can sanity-check the number.

  3. Transparent cash numberStraightforward price, no service fees, and we state which buyer costs we’ll cover.

  4. Sign a short, easy “AS IS” contractFlorida allows as-is sales; you must still disclose known, material, non-obvious defects, but you are not obligatedto make repairs.

  5. Title ordered Day 0Title search, lien & payoff statements, and (if applicable) HOA/condo estoppel requests.• HOA estoppel: associations must issue within 10 business days of a proper request. Online Sunshine+1• Condo estoppel: similar 10-day rule under the condo statute. Online Sunshine+1

  6. Docs & special cases• Condo resales: the buyer’s right to cancel now runs 7 business days after receiving required documents in 2025 (previously 3). Plan your closing timeline accordingly. Online Sunshine• Tenants: we can close with tenants; leases typically transfer to the new owner.• Permits/code issues/probate: we coordinate with title and the municipality to clear paths to closing.

  7. Close on your dateSign at a local title company; proceeds are wired to you the same day funds disburse.


Timeline: how fast is “fast”?

Scenario

Typical timing

Single-family, no HOA

7–14 days from contract to wire (title clear)

With HOA/condo

10–21 days (add time for estoppels & condo-doc delivery + rescission window) Online Sunshine+2The Florida Senate+2

Title complications (liens, probate, permits)

Varies — we start cures Day 0 to keep momentum

What it costs (vs a traditional listing)

Cash sale (typical):

  • No repairs

  • No showings/open houses

  • Buyer often covers standard buyer title charges; you still pay prorated taxes, HOA dues to closing, and any payoffs/liens tied to you or the property.

MLS listing (typical):

  • Higher top-line price, but expect time on market, prep, potential credits/repairs, and commission. If speed and certainty matter most, cash usually wins.

When a cash sale is the right move

  • Condition issues (roof/AC/insurance hurdles)

  • Life events (probate, divorce, relocation, job start date)

  • Tenant or code/permit headaches

  • You value certainty more than squeezing out the last dollar

If you’ve got a clean, updated home and can wait 30–60 days, a fast MLS strategy might net you more. We’ll show both numbers so you can choose.

How to vet a cash home buyer in Florida (and avoid red flags)

Do this:

  • Ask for proof of funds tied to the buyer’s name (recent bank letter/statement).

  • Use a known local title company and have them confirm deposit receipt and buyer identity.

  • Look up the company on Sunbiz (Florida Division of Corporations) to confirm it exists and who runs it. Florida Department of State+2Sunbiz+2

  • Ask about assignments: Will they close themselves or assign? If assignable, what’s the backup plan if their assignee flakes?

Red flags:

  • Vague or no proof of funds

  • Long inspection/escape windows

  • Pressure to use only their out-of-area title company

  • Changing price after you sign without new facts (“bait-and-switch”)

Orlando cash-offer FAQs

1) Do I have to fix anything on an as-is sale?No. As-is means you don’t have to make repairs. You must still disclose known, material, non-obvious defects. (Standard Florida practice.)

2) Are there “hidden fees”?Not with us. We outline buyer-paid vs seller-paid items up front. You’ll still have normal seller items like prorated taxes, HOA/utility payoffs, and any liens.

3) I’m in an HOA/condo. Can this still be fast?Yes, but build in time for estoppel and (for condos) the resale rescission window (now 7 business days after the buyer receives the required docs in 2025). Online Sunshine

4) Can you buy with tenants in place?Yes. We frequently close with tenants and take over management or set a post-close plan.

5) How do I compare cash vs listing?Ask us for a side-by-side net: “Cash now” vs “List to net” showing timing, costs, and risks.
