Sell your Clearwater house for cash
Clearwater has 1950s and 60s block homes across the older parts of the city, larger subdivisions in Countryside, and low-lying streets near the water on Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. I'm based in Wichita and buy Clearwater and Pinellas County houses as-is, including ones with flood damage.

Selling in Clearwater: what to know
- Foreclosure in Florida
- Judicial (through the courts)
- Florida foreclosures go through the circuit court, and the house is sold at a clerk's auction only after a final judgment. That usually takes many months, which leaves room to sell on your own terms.
- Probate
- When someone dies owning a house in Clearwater, the estate is usually handled through the Probate Division of the Pinellas County Circuit Court (Sixth Judicial Circuit).
- Repairing a flood-damaged house
- If a house in a flood zone is 'substantially damaged', meaning repairs would cost half or more of the building's value, the rebuild generally has to meet current flood rules, which can mean raising the house. Many Pinellas owners ran into this after Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024. I buy damaged houses as-is, so you don't have to rebuild first.
- Behind on property taxes in Florida
- In Florida, the county tax collector sells a tax certificate on unpaid property taxes. If the taxes stay unpaid for two years after that, the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed and the house goes to auction. If you sell first, the taxes and interest are paid off from the sale at closing.
What I hear from Clearwater sellers
- Houses that took water in a hurricane or storm surge and haven't been fully repaired.
- Older block homes facing a roof replacement before insurance will renew.
- Homes left by parents who retired here, with the heirs living out of state.
Clearwater questions
Do you really buy houses in Clearwater if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Clearwater and its suburbs across Pinellas County. You talk to me, Brayden, from the first call to closing, not a call center. Closing happens at a Florida title company or closing attorney, so you don't have to travel.
How does foreclosure work in Florida, and can I still sell?
Florida foreclosures go through the circuit court, and the house is sold at a clerk's auction only after a final judgment. That usually takes many months, which leaves room to sell on your own terms. A sale that closes before the foreclosure sale can pay off the loan, if the price covers what's owed. I'm not a lawyer, so talk to one or a HUD-approved housing counselor about your options too.
I inherited a house in Clearwater. Can I sell it before probate is finished?
Usually someone needs legal authority to sell, typically an executor or administrator appointed through the Probate Division of the Pinellas County Circuit Court (Sixth Judicial Circuit). I can make an offer now and set the closing for after that's in place. A probate attorney can tell you exactly what your situation needs.
Will you buy the house yourself, or assign the contract?
Sometimes I buy a house myself, and sometimes I assign my purchase contract to another investor who closes instead. Either way, your price and closing date are the ones in the contract you sign, and I'll tell you up front how your sale will work.
How fast can you close on a house in Clearwater?
Closing is usually within two to three weeks once the title company or closing attorney has what it needs. If you need more time, pick a later date.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house out?
No. I buy as-is. You can leave behind anything you don't want to take with you.
