500+ Florida closings — including Jacksonville and the rest of North FL. Any condition, any situation, your timeline. We buy directly with our own funds; you skip 6% commissions and 60-day MLS uncertainty.
From "address" to "cash in hand" in Jacksonville.
Address and a few honest details. We don't need staging. We don't care about the leak. We use comps and rehab data we already have for your block — not a calculator from outside the state.
We send the number — and the math behind it. ARV minus repairs minus closing minus our margin. No mystery. No 'we'll call you back later this week' games. You'll know in a day.
Walk in with the deed. Walk out with cash. We've used the same FL title companies for 500+ closings and they know the drill. 7 days is normal. 5 if you're racing a foreclosure sale. 30+ if you need more runway.
If you have PCS orders, an inherited house out in Mandarin, a code-violation letter from the City of Jacksonville, or a tenant who hasn't paid since spring — we will give you a fair cash offer in 24 hours and close on your date. No fees. No repairs. No showings.
Jacksonville is a military town. Naval Station Mayport on the east side. NAS Jacksonville on the south side of the river. Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville. NSB Kings Bay just over the Georgia line in St. Marys. Combined active-duty population pushing 30,000 — and roughly a third of those families get PCS orders every year. That is around 10,000 forced-timeline home sales every year in metro Jax.
The civilian world calls it a "tight timeline." The Navy calls it PCS — Permanent Change of Station — and it is rarely tight. It is brutal. You get orders. You get a report-no-later-than date. You get a household-goods pickup window. You get one house-hunting trip if you're lucky. And you have to dispose of a house in a market you may have only lived in for two years, sometimes from the other side of the country.
This is exactly the deal we are built for. When you call us with orders in hand:
Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville and NSB Kings Bay count too. Sector Jax is headquartered at Atlantic Beach, and we close houses there on Coast Guard PCS timelines the same way we do Navy. NSB Kings Bay sits about 45 minutes north over the Georgia line in St. Marys — many Kings Bay families live south in Yulee, Fernandina, or Amelia Island for the schools, and we cover all three. Whatever your branch, whatever your base, the timeline math is the same.
The PCS-window math: A typical PCS gives you 30, 60, or 90 days from orders. A traditional listing in Jacksonville averages 45 days on market plus 30-45 days for buyer financing — that's 75-90 days if nothing breaks. PCS sellers who try to list often end up either (a) breaking lease at the new duty station while paying a Florida mortgage, (b) signing a property-management contract and becoming an out-of-state landlord by accident, or (c) eating a price cut to move it before move-out. We are the fourth option: cash, fast, done.
If you are reading this with orders in your hand or on your screen, call 951-331-3844 right now or send the address. We will have a number to you before the end of the business day.
Step 1 — Tell us about the house. Address, condition, situation. Two minutes on the phone or one form online. If you are PCS, send the orders date so we can back-time the close.
Step 2 — We make a fair cash offer in 24 hours. No appraisal, no inspection contingency, no "subject to lender approval." We pull comps in your specific Jacksonville sub-market — Mandarin sells different from Westside, San Marco sells different from Northside — and we send you a number with our work shown.
Step 3 — Pick the closing date. Seven days, twenty-one days, sixty days. Whatever syncs to your orders, your probate, your lease, or your divorce timeline. We close at any Duval, Clay, St. Johns, or Nassau County title company — your pick or ours. You get a wire or a check at the table.
Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States — 874 square miles. Duval County and the City of Jacksonville are consolidated, which means one government, one tax bill, one set of code-enforcement rules covering everything from Atlantic Beach to the Westside. That geography is the whole story behind our Jacksonville business: more houses, more vintages, more sub-markets, more situations.
Mandarin — south of downtown along the St. Johns. 1970s-1990s ranches and two-stories, mature oaks, big lots, Mandarin High School zone. Mostly retirement-aged original owners selling now. We buy a lot of estate-condition Mandarin houses with 30-year-old kitchens and original carpet.
Riverside / Avondale — historic district west of downtown, bungalows and four-squares from 1900-1940, Five Points commercial core. Charm is real, foundations are not. We buy crawlspace-rotted Riverside bungalows that retail buyers walk away from after inspection.
San Marco — south bank of the river, 1920s-1930s Mediterranean and Tudor revival, San Marco Square, Hendricks Avenue. Premium pricing per square foot, but the older inventory has the same crawlspace, knob-and-tube, and galvanized-pipe issues as Riverside.
Westside — west of I-295, behind NAS Jax. Mostly 1950s-1980s ranch and CBS-block construction. The Jacksonville sub-market with the most code-enforcement files. Lots of unpermitted Florida rooms, unpermitted carports, unpermitted second kitchens. Our bread-and-butter.
Arlington — east of the river off Atlantic and Arlington Expressway. 1950s-1970s middle-class brick ranches, lots of original owners. Code-violation activity is heavy here too.
Northside — north of downtown, including New Town, Brentwood, and the I-95 corridor up to the airport. Older inventory, lower price points, the highest concentration of vacant and inherited properties in the city.
Springfield — historic district just north of downtown, Victorian and Queen Anne homes from 1880-1910. Heavy investor activity, code-compliance pressure on absentee owners.
Atlantic Beach / Neptune Beach / Jacksonville Beach — the eastside beach communities, anchored by Mayport at the north end and Ponte Vedra at the south. Higher price points, more PCS turnover than any other sub-market because of Mayport. We close a lot of three-bedroom beach-block houses that Navy families bought during a sea tour and have to sell on orders.
Orange Park / Clay County — south-southwest of NAS Jax across the Buckman Bridge. The other big PCS sub-market. 1980s-2000s subdivision inventory, Fleming Island higher-end, Middleburg further out.
St. Augustine / St. Johns County — 45 minutes south down US-1 or A1A. Historic district premium, plus the World Golf Village and Nocatee corridors. We buy throughout — see our dedicated St. Augustine page.
Schools and price points matter. Mandarin High, Stanton College Prep, Paxon, Bishop Kenny, Bolles, Episcopal — buyers price houses against school zones. We do the same when we comp.
The hurricane factor. Jacksonville is statistically one of the more sheltered FL metros — the river bends and the inlet geometry have spared it the direct hits Tampa and Miami have taken. But Matthew (2016) flooded Riverside and San Marco; Irma (2017) overtopped much of downtown; Ian (2022) pushed water up the St. Johns into Ortega; Idalia (2023) and Helene (2024) added roof and tree damage all over Westside and Northside. We buy houses with open claims and hurricane-deductible disputes regularly.
The probate volume. Duval County's probate division processes thousands of estates a year. With Jacksonville's older housing stock and aging original-owner population, inherited-house sales are the second-largest situation we handle in this market after PCS. A typical Jacksonville inherited-house seller is one of three or four siblings spread across multiple states, none of whom want to fly back to Mandarin or Arlington to clean out a house full of sixty years of memories. We handle that. The cleanout, the lawn, the vacant-property insurance question, the cousin who keeps showing up at the back gate — all of it. You sign at a notary in your own town, we wire the proceeds, the estate is closed.
The geography problem. When we say Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the Lower 48, that's not trivia — it's why every other cash buyer in this market is geographically incomplete. Most local buyers are strong in two or three sub-markets and weak in the rest. We are deliberately built to cover the full footprint: from the Nassau County line at Yulee down to the Flagler County line at Palm Coast, from the beaches west to Macclenny. If your house is inside that box, we buy it.
The post-2020 in-migration. Northeast Florida picked up tens of thousands of new households between 2020 and 2024 — remote workers from the Northeast, retirees from the Midwest, military families that mustered out at Mayport or NAS Jax and stayed. That has stabilized prices, made cash offers more competitive, and shortened the days-on-market for retail-ready homes. None of that helps you if your house is not retail-ready: hurricane roof, code file, deferred maintenance, tenant-occupied, hoarder cleanout. Those houses still need a cash buyer. That is what we do.
Code enforcement at $250/day adds up fast. The City of Jacksonville Municipal Code Compliance Division (operating under Chapter 518 of the city ordinance) issues notices for overgrown lots, unpermitted construction, and structural decay. Daily fines accrue from the compliance deadline until cure or sale. We have bought Westside houses with $40,000+ in accrued fines and negotiated lien payoffs at closing — sometimes for cents on the dollar — so the seller still walked away with cash.
Florida homestead reassessment hits Jacksonville sellers harder than they expect. Under §689.261, sellers must disclose that buyers cannot rely on the seller's current property tax bill. The Save Our Homes cap (Art. VII §4(d)) means a long-time owner in Mandarin or Riverside may be paying property tax on an assessed value that's a third of true market value. When we close, the property gets reassessed at our purchase price — that's our problem to plan for, not yours, but it explains why some retail offers come in low: those buyers know their first-year tax bill will jump.
Florida's judicial foreclosure timeline (Ch. 702) gives Jacksonville sellers more runway than they think. From the day a Duval Circuit Court foreclosure complaint is filed and a lis pendens recorded under §48.23, you typically have 6-14 months before the clerk's sale (§45.031). Florida's right of redemption (§45.0315) ends only when the certificate of sale is filed — meaning you can sell for cash any time before then and walk with whatever equity remains after the lender payoff. Don't wait for the auction. Call us when you get the breach letter.
Inherited-house sales work two ways under Florida probate. Under Ch. 733 (formal administration), the court appoints a Personal Representative who alone has authority to sign a deed on the estate's behalf (§733.607). Under Ch. 735 (summary administration), available for estates ≤ $75,000 in non-exempt assets or where the decedent died more than two years ago, the court enters an order that operates like a deed-effective release (§735.201). The threshold rises to $150,000 effective July 1, 2026 under CS/HB 1337. Most Jacksonville estate homes we buy go through summary administration in a matter of weeks. We can put the property under contract during the process and close the day the order issues.
Florida's 2023 AOB ban (§627.7152) reshapes hurricane-damaged sales. For policies issued on or after January 1, 2023, post-loss assignments of benefits are void. Jacksonville roofers can no longer take an AOB and chase Citizens for the claim. That has pushed a lot of post-Helene and post-Idalia homeowners toward cash sales — we buy the property and the open claim, settle with the carrier ourselves, and the seller is out from under the fight.
Closing-cost custom in Northeast Florida. Title insurance premiums in Florida are state-promulgated under §§627.7711-627.7865 — the rate is the rate, no shopping. But who pays varies by county. In Duval, Clay, St. Johns, and Nassau, the buyer customarily pays for the owner's title policy. As a cash buyer, that's our cost — not yours. Doc stamps on the deed under §201.02 ($0.70 per $100 of consideration) are customarily a seller expense in this market, but on most of our offers we cover those too and net you the headline number. Read the closing statement carefully or ask Byron and he'll walk you through it line by line.
The FAR/BAR AS-IS contract is your friend. We write every Jacksonville offer on the standard FAR/BAR Residential Contract for Sale and Purchase ("AS-IS" version, ASIS-7). It's the joint Florida Realtors / Florida Bar form — the same one a retail listing agent would use. Two practical things that matter to you as a seller: there is no financing contingency in our version (we waive Paragraph 8 because we are paying cash), and the inspection period in Paragraph 12 is short or waived. That means the deal is much harder to fall apart on than a typical retail contract.

If you have PCS orders, you have a clock running and we are the fastest way to a clean closing. If you inherited a house off Old St. Augustine Road and you live in Atlanta, we will close it for you without you flying down. If you have a code-enforcement file open in Westside and the fines are growing every day, every day you wait costs you money.
