Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Selling a Probate House in Florida
What is a probate house and how does the selling process work in Florida?
A probate house is a property that belonged to someone who has passed away and must go through the Florida probate court process before it can be sold or transferred. In Florida, once the estate is opened with the circuit court and a personal representative is appointed, you can accept an offer and sign a purchase contract. The closing happens as soon as the court issues its authorization order. The Building Buyer specializes exclusively in this process and has guided hundreds of Florida families through it.
How long does probate take in Florida before a house can be sold?
In Florida, formal probate administration typically takes 6 to 12 months. Summary administration, available for qualifying smaller estates, can be completed in 4 to 8 weeks. The mandatory 90-day creditor notice period is the primary driver of the formal administration timeline. The Building Buyer coordinates with your probate attorney to close your family’s property as quickly as the law permits after the court issues its authorization.
Do I have to make repairs before selling a probate house?
No. The Building Buyer purchases inherited and probate properties in any condition — water damage, fire damage, code violations, hoarding situations, structural issues, or complete disrepair. You are not required to clean, repair, or prepare the property in any way. We assess the property as-is and handle all remediation after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to The Building Buyer?
No. There are no real estate commissions, no listing fees, and no upfront costs of any kind. Closing costs are paid at closing from the proceeds of the sale. Everything is disclosed in writing before you sign anything. Your family owes nothing out of pocket.
Does The Building Buyer operate throughout all of Florida?
Yes. The Building Buyer purchases probate and inherited properties throughout the entire state of Florida, including Broward County, Miami-Dade County, Palm Beach County, Hillsborough County, Orange County, Duval County, Lee County, Sarasota County, Volusia County, Martin County, Monroe County, and many additional counties statewide.
What if I don't have a probate attorney yet?
The Building Buyer can refer you to an experienced Florida probate attorney in your county at no upfront cost to you. The attorney is paid only at closing from the proceeds of the property sale. We work with a network of probate attorneys throughout Florida and can connect your family with the right legal counsel quickly.
