Sell your Tampa house for cash
Tampa has older bungalows and block homes in Seminole Heights, Sulphur Springs and East Tampa, and a ring of newer suburbs across Hillsborough County. I'm based in Wichita and buy Tampa-area houses as-is, including ones with storm or flood damage.
Get a written cash offer usually within 24 hours. No repairs, no showings, no commissions, and you choose the closing date. When you call, you talk to Brayden, not a call center.

If you accept, a local title company handles the paperwork and you're paid at closing. If you don't, that's the end of it.

Selling in Tampa: 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 Tampa, the estate is usually handled through the Probate Division of the Hillsborough County Circuit Court (Thirteenth Judicial Circuit).
What I hear from Tampa sellers
- Houses damaged by hurricane flooding or wind that the owner doesn't want to rebuild.
- Owners whose insurance has become too expensive or been dropped.
- Inherited homes that need to go through probate in Hillsborough County.
Tampa questions
Do you really buy houses in Tampa if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Tampa and its suburbs across Hillsborough 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 Tampa. 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 Hillsborough County Circuit Court (Thirteenth 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 Tampa?
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.
