House Going to Auction in Florida: What Are My Options in the Next 72 Hours?

Q&A: House Going to Auction—What Are My Options in Florida?

Q1: My house is scheduled for foreclosure auction in Florida—what should I do first?
Contact the trustee or attorney handling the sale and reach out to a reputable cash buyer immediately. Time is critical: Florida’s foreclosure timeline can move from notice to sale in as little as 90 days. By calling us at 754-610-3036, you can schedule a same-day or next-day walk-through so we can see the property and prepare a cash offer before the auction date.

Q2: Do I have to make repairs before you see the home?
No. We buy houses as-is. You do not need to paint, patch, or even clean out belongings. During the walk-through, we evaluate the structure, title status, and any liens; cosmetic issues do not affect our cash price.

Q3: How fast can you close?
We can sign a purchase contract within 24 hours of the walk-through and close in as little as 7 days—often sooner if the auction is only days away. Because we use private funds, there are no bank approvals or lengthy inspections.

Q4: Will you really pay cash?
Yes. We wire funds directly to the closing agent. Once the title is clear, you receive the full agreed-upon amount minus any payoff to the lender or other liens. You never pay agent commissions or closing costs.

Q5: What if the auction is only a week away?
We file a notice of intent to purchase with the trustee and request a postponement while we finalize title work. In most cases, trustees will delay the sale when they see a legitimate cash contract in place.

Q6: Do I have to move out immediately after signing the contract?
No. We can arrange a flexible move-out date that gives you time to relocate. Some sellers stay up to 30 days after closing at no extra charge.

Q7: How does signing the contract stop the foreclosure?
Once the contract is executed, we open escrow and order a payoff letter from the lender. The trustee sees that the loan will be satisfied, which prevents the auction. If any surplus remains after the mortgage is paid, you receive that money at closing.

Q8: What if there are additional liens or code violations?
We negotiate directly with lienholders and the city. Our team has handled tax liens, HOA liens, and municipal fines, so you don’t have to. All liens are resolved out of the proceeds at closing.

Q9: How do I get started right now?
Call or text 754-610-3036. We will ask for the property address, auction date, and mortgage balance. Then we schedule the walk-through, usually within hours. Bring a photo ID; we bring the contract.

Q11: Is there any obligation when I call?
None. The walk-through is free, and the cash offer is no-obligation. You are free to accept, reject, or counter until the moment the contract is signed.

Q12: Can I still sell if I have tenants?
Yes. We honor existing leases and can either close with tenants in place or arrange cash-for-keys agreements if you need the property vacant sooner.
