My experience with Dylan was incredible. He is not only professional, reliable and honest, but Dylan advocated for me during a dark time when I wasn’t sure who I could really count on. I thank my lucky stars I found Dylan and The Building Buyer, he handled the selling of my fathers estate quickly and with dignity and kindness. Call Dylan before you call anyone else, because he can accomplish what other probate agents likely are not willing or able to. I couldn’t recommend them more!

My family and I can only say positive things about our experience with Dylan Troiano at “The Building Buyer”. He was a God-send to our family and we are thankful for his thorough, sound knowledge, and advise concerning the sale of an inherited, family home. He knows the market and numbers well and is an honest, dedicated, focused, businessman. My family was given a more-than-fair price, and this company made the sale seamless and easy on us. Dylan is as sharp as they come. Thank you again, for all of the hard work; you are so appreciated.

Charles and Dylan know what they want, when they want it and how to get it! My family was tied up with the City for years and years over liens all sorts of red tape. Dylan and Charles got in contact with us and helped facilitate the sale of my family’s house as soon as we possibly could. Offered a very fair price and stuck to their words and offer through the entire process. Thanks guys and good luck with the house and in the future.

At first I was skeptical because it seemed too easy, I met with Dylan and he explained everything to me and I had a good feeling ( I had talked/met several people already) then met his partner Charles and made one of the best decisions ever…I went with them…they kept me informed about what was happening and it WAS as easy as they said. I couldn’t be happier. They gave me a fair price and a no-hassle closing. I will recommend Dylan and Charles to anyone who wants a headache-free deal. I got exactly what they promised to me and I can’t be happier

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Selling a Probate House in Lee County, Florida

Which court handles probate in Lee County, Florida?

Probate in Lee County is administered by the Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court — Probate Division. The Lee County Clerk of Court is located at 1700 Monroe Street, Fort Myers, FL 33901. The Lee County Probate Division handles all estate administration, personal representative appointments, and property sale authorizations. You can reach the Lee County Clerk at (239) 533-5000.

How long does probate take in Lee County, Florida?

Formal probate administration in Lee County typically takes 6 to 10 months. Summary administration for qualifying estates can be completed in 4 to 6 weeks. Lee County saw a significant surge in probate filings following Hurricane Ian in 2022, which has modestly extended processing timelines for some cases. The Building Buyer coordinates with your Fort Myers-area probate attorney to close as quickly as the Twentieth Circuit Court permits.

What if the Lee County inherited property has Hurricane Ian damage?

Hurricane Ian caused significant property damage throughout Lee County in 2022. Many estate properties in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Fort Myers Beach, and surrounding areas still carry storm damage, open insurance claims, or remediation requirements. The Building Buyer purchases storm-damaged properties in any condition. You are not required to repair, remediate, or resolve insurance claims before selling to us.

What if the Lee County probate property is on Sanibel Island or a barrier island?

The Building Buyer purchases properties on Sanibel, Captiva, Pine Island, and other Lee County barrier islands. These properties often have unique considerations including FEMA flood zones, environmental restrictions, and post-storm damage. We are experienced with barrier island properties and can navigate these complexities on your family’s behalf.

Can out-of-state heirs sell a Lee County probate property without traveling to Fort Myers?

Yes. The Building Buyer regularly works with out-of-state heirs who inherit Lee County vacation homes and investment properties. The entire process — from offer acceptance to closing documents — can be handled remotely. We coordinate with your probate attorney and a licensed Lee County title company to complete the sale without requiring any travel.

We find some homeowners have unique property conditions and situations besides probate. It can be any of the following.

Tax Liens • Probate • Foreclosure • Property liens • Severe Property Damage • Code Violations Describe My Situation
