Buying Florida homes since 2012 · 650+ homes purchased
Takes 60 seconds. No obligation.
Brandon is Tampa’s largest eastern suburb, a sprawl of 1980s and 1990s subdivisions where many homes are now due for major repairs. We buy Brandon houses for cash, as-is, so you can sell without a new roof, updated systems, or months of showings.
No commissions and no closing costs. We review recent Hillsborough County comparables, make a fair offer, and close on the timeline that fits your family.
Yes. We buy Brandon houses in their current condition, in Bloomingdale, Providence Lakes, Brandon Groves and the older subdivisions around them, including homes with open county code cases, old owner-built additions or unpaid property taxes. You get a written cash offer within 24 hours of our visit, pay no commission or closing costs, and can close in about 10 days.
Brandon grew fast as a commuter suburb, so a large share of its homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s and now need roofs, HVAC, and system updates at the same time. Insurance non-renewals tied to roof age are a growing problem across the area. Cash sales let owners avoid stacking repairs and the appraisal issues that stall financed suburban deals.
Brandon homes from the 1980s–90s often need roof, HVAC, and systems together. We buy as-is so you skip the bills.
Older roofs lead to dropped policies. Selling for cash lets you exit before premiums or non-renewals force your hand.
Brandon’s commuters move often for work. We close on your timeline so a house never delays a transfer.
Heirs and owners of vacant Brandon homes choose a fast cash sale over repairs and long-distance management.
Brandon is not a city. It is an unincorporated part of Hillsborough County, so there is no Brandon code office or building department; the county does both jobs. County code enforcement covers only unincorporated Hillsborough, and its cases are prosecuted before the county’s Code Enforcement Board, which meets monthly, usually on the third or fourth Friday at 9 a.m., at the Brandon Regional Service Center. The county lets anyone search code violation cases online and request a code enforcement lien settlement.
For permits, the county’s HillsGovHub portal holds records for cases created on or after January 19, 2021; its search defaults to the last two years, so the start date has to be set back to see everything. Documents from 2004 to early 2021 sit in a separate county document repository. For a house built in the 1980s, the permit for a pool, screen room or garage conversion may be in the older archive or may never have existed, and the title company checks both.
Florida lets homeowners pull their own permits and act as their own contractor under s. 489.103(7) of the Florida Statutes, and Hillsborough County requires the home to be the owner’s primary residence. The owner-builder disclosure statement warns that if the owner sells or leases the home within one year after the work is finished, the law presumes it was built or improved for sale or lease, which the exemption does not allow; the county’s permit page puts it as a one-year bar on selling.
If you finished owner-builder work on your Brandon house recently, tell us when it was completed. We can plan a contract and closing date around that, and a Florida attorney can tell you how the rule applies to your situation. This is general information, not legal advice.
When county property taxes go unpaid, the Tax Collector sells tax certificates on the debt. In its 2025 sale, the Hillsborough County Tax Collector sold 16,898 certificates with a face amount of about $75.5 million. Under s. 197.502 of the Florida Statutes, a certificate holder may apply for a tax deed once two years have passed since April 1 of the year the certificate was issued, which can lead to the home being sold at auction.
A sale before that point pays the delinquent taxes from the proceeds at closing. If you already have a tax deed application against your Brandon home, speak with a Florida real estate attorney promptly; this is general information, not legal advice.

“I live out of state and was trying to sell a rental property in Tampa that had been trashed by bad tenants. I couldn't keep flying down to deal with contractors. They bought it completely as-is, handled the title work remotely, and the wire was in my account the day after closing. Super smooth transaction.”

iBuyers buy only in some Florida areas and set their own rules; check your address on their sites. Opendoor’s help center lists mobile and manufactured homes, vacant land and homes with major structural, fire, water or mold damage as not eligible. Fees and timelines vary by offer. If your home is move-in ready and you can wait, listing usually nets the most, and we’ll tell you so.
Opendoor and Offerpad vs. a local cash buyer, explainedThree transparent decisions take you from an initial Brandon property review to a title-company closing.
Share the address, condition, occupancy, and your preferred timing. Photos are helpful but are not required to begin.
For the Brandon property, we review comparable sales, title, and condition—including homes aging all at once, insurance non-renewal, relocation—then explain the no-obligation cash terms.
If the Brandon offer fits, a licensed title company verifies ownership and payoffs. A clear-title purchase can close in as little as 10 days, or later when you need time.
Answers to the questions Brandon homeowners ask us most.
Yes. Roof replacement is one of the most common reasons Brandon owners sell to us. It is factored into the offer and handled after closing.
We do. We buy throughout Brandon, including HOA communities, and manage the approval and estoppel process.
Yes. We buy inherited and vacant homes quickly and can clear out belongings after closing at no cost to you.
Typically 10 to 21 days through a local Hillsborough County title company, or later if you need time.
Hillsborough County. Brandon is unincorporated, so county code enforcement and the county’s Code Enforcement Board handle its cases, not a city.
Talk to us and to a Florida attorney first. The owner-builder disclosure warns that selling within one year of finishing the work creates a presumption it was done for sale, so the completion date matters for timing.
Permits from January 19, 2021 on are in the county’s HillsGovHub portal; older documents back to 2004 are in a separate county archive. Our title company searches both.
Yes. The unpaid taxes and any tax certificate are paid off from the sale proceeds at closing. If a tax deed application has been filed, get legal advice quickly.
