Can you sell a house as-is in Florida? Yes. Selling as-is means you are not agreeing to make or pay for repairs, and the buyer accepts the home’s condition. It does not let a seller hide known problems: Florida sellers must still disclose hidden defects they know about. We buy Florida houses as-is for cash.
That makes as-is a good fit when the roof, plumbing, wiring or foundation needs work you cannot afford, or when you simply do not want to manage contractors before moving. The offer we make reflects the house as it stands today, and the contract does not come back to you with a repair list.
Takes 60 seconds. No obligation.
We price the house after our walkthrough, so you are not asked to fix the roof, AC or plumbing before closing.
Take what matters to you; furniture and unwanted contents can stay, as the contract states.
Our purchase does not depend on a mortgage lender’s appraisal or repair demands.
You pay no agent commission, no fee to us and no seller closing costs.
Most Florida home sales are written on standard forms published by Florida Realtors and The Florida Bar, and one of them is the “AS IS” contract. On that form the seller does not promise to repair problems found during inspections. Instead the buyer gets an inspection period, a number of days written into the contract, and can generally cancel by giving written notice before it ends. Once that deadline passes, the buyer’s right to walk away over the home’s condition ends. Our plain-English walk-through of the Florida AS IS contract explains the clauses, deadlines and blanks.
As-is is about repairs, not disclosure. In Johnson v. Davis, 480 So. 2d 625 (Fla. 1985), the Florida Supreme Court held that a seller of a home who knows of facts that materially affect its value, that are not readily observable and that the buyer does not know about, must disclose them. Florida law also requires a separate flood disclosure at or before signing the contract (section 689.302), and it says some facts are not material and need not be disclosed, such as a death, homicide or suicide on the property (section 689.25). This is general information, not legal advice; talk to a Florida real estate attorney about your own disclosures.
A cash buyer still looks closely at the house. The difference is when that happens and what follows. We walk through the property, sometimes with a contractor, before we put a price in writing, so the roof, mechanical systems, water damage and other repairs we can see are already in the number. There is no mortgage lender, so there is no appraisal and no lender-required repair list.
Read the inspection terms in any as-is contract you sign, including ours: how many days the buyer has, whether the buyer can cancel during that time, and how access will work. If a buyer later asks to lower the price, the contract decides whether you have to agree. In a retail sale, repair negotiation usually starts right after the buyer’s inspection; pricing the repairs before the offer is meant to take that step out.
Roof leaks, plumbing failures, past flooding and any mold you know about, even if it was repaired. The flood disclosure form asks about flood damage, flood insurance claims and flood assistance during your ownership.
Open or past property-insurance claims, adjuster reports and estimates. They help a buyer price the repairs and avoid surprises at closing.
Work done without a permit, permits that were never closed, and any code-enforcement notices or liens from the city or county. These usually appear in the title company’s lien search anyway.
For a condo or HOA home, pending or approved special assessments, violation letters and the association’s approval process for buyers.
These primary sources can help you verify the general information discussed above. For advice about your documents or deadlines, consult the appropriate Florida professional.

Read the transaction details“I reached out to three different cash buyers in Jacksonville. Two gave me lowball offers that were almost insulting. This team gave me a realistic number, explained exactly how they calculated it, and didn’t charge a single dime in closing costs or hidden fees. What they quoted was what I walked away with.”

It means the seller is not agreeing to make or pay for repairs, and the buyer accepts the home’s condition after any inspection period in the contract. It does not remove the seller’s duty to disclose known hidden defects that materially affect value.
Yes. Under Johnson v. Davis, Florida home sellers must disclose known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable to the buyer. Florida also requires a separate flood disclosure at or before signing. Ask a Florida real estate attorney if you are unsure what applies.
Usually only during the inspection period. On the Florida Realtors/Florida Bar AS IS form, a buyer who gives timely written notice within that period can generally cancel. After it ends, the buyer cannot cancel over the home’s condition. The signed contract controls.
