Frequently Asked Questions
Maybe you have a few questions about selling your Florida Home?
That’s okay; most people do. Which is why Steve & Joleigh wanted to create a Frequently Asked Questions section that people ask us, along with our answers.
If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
Will you be listing my house on the MLS, or are you actually buying it?
Even though we are licensed Florida real estate professionals, we are not listing your home on the MLS. Creating Real Estate Solutions LLC is a professional home-buying company, and we purchase houses directly from homeowners for cash.
After purchasing a property, we may renovate and resell it to another homeowner, or in some cases keep it as a rental depending on location and condition. Either way, when you work with us, you are selling your house directly to the buyer—not listing it and waiting on the open market.
Do you pay fair prices for houses?
Yes — our offers are fair, transparent, and data-driven, but they are typically below full retail market value. This allows us to cover repairs, holding costs, and risk, and still resell or rent the property responsibly.
Many homeowners we work with are not looking for a “windfall.” Instead, they value:
- A cash offer
- A fast closing
- No repairs, cleaning, or showings
- No agent commissions or hidden fees
If selling your house fast in Florida makes sense for your situation, we aim to reach a win-win price. Our offers are always no-obligation, and if an offer doesn’t work for you, there’s no pressure to move forward. We also offer creative solutions for situations involving negative equity or unique circumstances.
How do you determine the price you offer for my house?
Our pricing process is straightforward and transparent. We evaluate:
- Property location
- Current condition and needed repairs
- Recent comparable sales in the area
- Market trends and holding costs
Using this information, we determine a price that works for us as buyers and makes sense for you as the seller. Sometimes our offer won’t be the right fit — and that’s okay. We encourage homeowners to make informed decisions, and if circumstances change, we’re always open to revisiting an offer.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to you?
No. There are no fees, commissions, or hidden costs when you sell your house directly to us.
Unlike traditional listings, there are:
- No real estate agent commissions
- No repair costs
- No staging or cleaning expenses
In many cases, we also cover standard closing costs. Once we purchase your home, the responsibility and risk transfer to us — and you walk away with cash and peace of mind.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list homes on the market and wait for a buyer. That process can take months, requires repairs and showings, and typically involves 5–6% in commissions.
We are different because we buy houses directly. We use our own funds, make decisions quickly, and close on your timeline — sometimes in just days. While listing with an agent can be a great option for some homeowners, selling directly to a professional buyer is often better for those who need speed, certainty, and simplicity.
Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
No. There is absolutely no obligation when you contact us or submit your property information.
We’ll review the details, have a conversation to better understand your situation, and — if appropriate — present a cash offer. From there, the decision is entirely yours. There is no pressure to accept an offer, ever.
Do you buy houses as-is in Florida?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, meaning you do not need to make repairs, clean the property, or remove unwanted items. So if you are Selling A House with Problems in Florida, we got you! A common mistake some home sellers make is trying to fix repairs with limited funds and with unlicensed work.
How fast can you close on my house?
We can often close in as little as 14 days, and sometimes sooner, depending on title and property details. We also offer flexible closing dates if you need more time.
Do you buy inherited or probate houses?
Yes. We regularly work with inherited homes and probate situations and can help navigate the process alongside attorneys and title companies.
What if my house has title issues or liens?
We have extensive experience handling title issues, liens, judgments, and other complications. In many cases, we can still purchase the property and help resolve these matters as part of the transaction.
Do you buy houses with tenants or code violations?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied properties and homes with code violations or deferred maintenance, depending on the situation.
