Buying Florida homes since 2012 · 650+ homes purchased
Coral Gables homes are among the most beautiful in Miami-Dade — and often the most expensive to maintain, restore, and insure. We buy Coral Gables houses and condos for cash, discreetly and off-market, so you can sell without public listings, open houses, or a for-sale sign on the lawn.
Whether you own a historic Mediterranean-style home that needs restoration or an inherited property you would rather not manage, we make a fair cash offer and close privately on your timeline.
Takes 60 seconds. No obligation.
Yes. We buy Coral Gables houses as-is, including older homes that would need Board of Architects approval before any exterior work could start. 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 once title is clear.
Coral Gables blends historic estates with newer luxury condos, and strict architectural and permitting rules make repairs and renovations costly and slow. Older homes frequently need updated systems, roof work, or restoration to meet the city’s standards, which narrows the pool of financed buyers. A discreet cash sale is attractive to owners who value privacy and want to avoid the friction of a high-end listing.
Coral Gables’ architectural rules make restoring older homes expensive. We buy as-is and take on the work ourselves.
Many Gables owners prefer an off-market sale with no signage or public showings. We keep the entire process private.
Heirs of Coral Gables homes often want a clean, fast sale rather than managing an expensive property remotely.
Long-time residents moving closer to family sell to us on the date that fits their transition, as-is.
Coral Gables puts ordinary residential work in front of a design board. The city’s Board of Architects reviews new residences, building expansions, pools, pavement and roof tiles against its design review standards, which cover color, materials, fenestration and proportion. For a typical building permit the city describes a preliminary and a final board approval before the permit is issued. The board meets every Thursday.
That changes the math on repairs before a sale. A new tile roof or an addition that was never finished can mean a board submittal and drawings before a contractor can pull the permit, on top of the usual inspections. When you sell as-is, that process becomes the buyer’s. We price the house knowing we will take it to the board ourselves, so you do not start a project you will not be around to finish.
Coral Gables has locally designated historic landmarks and districts, and the city’s Historical Resources office runs a Certificate of Appropriateness process for work on them. A house that has never been designated is still checked before it can be torn down: section 8-107(G) of the Coral Gables Zoning Code says demolition permits for non-designated buildings must be approved by the Historic Preservation Officer, who can send a building that may qualify as a landmark to the Historic Preservation Board.
The city answers that question with a Historical Significance Determination, which is valid for 18 months. For a seller, the point is that a buyer who plans to replace the house is buying an uncertain timeline. We can buy a house whose status has never been reviewed, one that is eligible, or one that is designated, and deal with the city’s review after closing.
Big, older Gables houses often reach the market through probate. In Florida the court appoints a personal representative, who signs the deed. If the will gives the personal representative a power of sale, the sale can usually proceed without a separate court order; if it does not, section 733.613 of the Florida Statutes says title does not pass until the court authorizes or confirms the sale. Miami-Dade probate cases are filed with the Clerk of the Court and Comptroller and can be searched online. This is general information, not legal advice; talk to a Florida probate attorney about your estate.
An estate does not have to insure, maintain and restore a large house while the court process runs. We work with the estate’s attorney and the title company, buy the house with its contents, and set the closing date around the court’s timeline.

DetailsFounder Daniel Sasson has purchased Florida properties since 2012 and remains directly involved in seller conversations and buying decisions. If a direct sale is not the best fit for your Coral Gables property, the team will explain the alternatives rather than pressure you into accepting an offer.
Meet Daniel and learn how we workA useful offer must account for the actual property—not merely its ZIP code. In Coral Gables, that means reviewing issues such as historic restoration costs, privacy and discretion, inherited estates, along with title, occupancy, condition, and the seller's timing. Our published transaction stories show how that review works when several issues overlap.
Explore the case studiesThree transparent decisions take you from an initial Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables property, we review comparable sales, title, and condition—including historic restoration costs, privacy and discretion, inherited estates—then explain the no-obligation cash terms.
If the Coral Gables 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 Coral Gables homeowners ask us most.
Yes. Discretion is one of the main reasons Gables owners work with us. There is no listing, no sign, and no public showings — just a private cash sale.
We do. Historic Coral Gables homes often need significant restoration to meet city standards, and we buy them as-is and handle the work.
Yes. We buy condos and single-family homes across Coral Gables, including higher-value properties, and can close discreetly.
We work directly with you and a local title company. Nothing about the sale is publicly listed, and we respect your privacy throughout.
No. Board approval applies to exterior work and building permits, not to a sale. If you sell as-is, any future roof, addition or pool work is the new owner’s to submit. Open permits or unfinished approved projects usually surface in the title company’s searches, so tell us about them early.
Yes, whether it is designated, possibly eligible or never reviewed. Designation and the city’s demolition review affect what a future owner can build, and we account for that in the offer instead of asking you to get a determination first.
Often, yes, once the personal representative has letters of administration and, if the will does not grant a power of sale, a court order authorizing the sale (section 733.613, Florida Statutes). This is general information, not legal advice; ask the estate’s Florida attorney.
