Max Cohen, the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/flhomebuyers.com\/about\/\">FL Home Buyers<\/a>, who has been working in real estate for nearly a decade, warns that it\u2019s important to be careful when searching for Florida cash buyers. Our experts offer some insider tips to help you in your search.<\/p>\n<h3>Work with a reputable local real estate agent<\/h3>\n<p>There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/why-use-a-real-estate-agent\/\">reasons to have a real estate agent in your corner<\/a> \u2014 visibility on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/what-is-the-mls\/\">MLS<\/a>, help with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/home-staging-tips-first-timers\/\">stagings<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-many-showings-does-it-take-to-sell-a-house-on-average\/\">showings<\/a>, assistance with negotiations and contracts, to name just a few \u2014 and now you can add sourcing a cash buyer to the list.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/agents\/sepehr-niakan-fl-03102146\">Sepehr Niakan<\/a>, a top-performing Miami real estate agent specializing in condos and single-family homes, says that most agents have a broad <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/investor-friendly-realtors\/\">network of active investors<\/a>. This can save you the hassle of contacting Florida cash buyers who may not be a good match for your property. The agent can check their database to see which investors are seeking a house similar to yours in terms of neighborhood, square footage, price range, and upgrades.<\/p>\n<h3>Focus on out-of-state buyers<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThose who are looking to relocate to Florida are the most likely to be cash buyers right now,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/justinnepola\/\">Justin Nepola<\/a>, a real estate attorney in Hollywood, Florida. This is another area where a top agent can help you tap into the out-of-state market. Buyers who currently live elsewhere but are seeking homes in the Sunshine State will often team up with a Florida real estate agent who has intimate knowledge of the area.<\/p>\n<h3>Do your due diligence<\/h3>\n<p>If a home-buying company has expressed interest in buying your property, Cohen says to check with <a href=\"https:\/\/dos.fl.gov\/sunbiz\/\">Sunbiz<\/a> \u2014 the Division of Corporations, which is the state of Florida\u2019s official business entity index and commercial activity website \u2014 to ensure the would-be buyer is a legitimate company registered with the state of Florida. Also, check to make sure the company is listed with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/\">Better Business Bureau<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Before signing an offer, ask for proof of funds<\/h3>\n<p>This may come in the form of a download or print-out of the buyer\u2019s business checking account showing that they have the cash to purchase the subject property. \u201cIf the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/real-estate-cash-buyers\/\">cash buyer<\/a> you are talking to does not want to provide you with this, RUN,\u201d Cohen says. \u201cAnd if you see a vague document saying something along the lines of \u2018XYZ123 Homebuyers are approved up to $XXX,000,\u2019 RUN. The serious, professional, reliable home buyers will gladly show you legitimate proof of funds.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how to work with Florida cash
