Total Cash Home Buyers was great to work with. I sold my home in “AS-IS” condition and didn’t pay any closing costs or fees. Great company to work with

We were in a financial situation that required us to sell our house. TCHB worked with us to close quickly and Clarice stayed with us every step of the way. I definitely recommend them.

Total Cash Home Buyers helped my family sell within 35 days and helped us move out of our house as well. Very easy process and would highly recommend working with them to sell as-is.

Brandy made things very easy and clear for my family and we sold our home to him in 30 days. We paid no commissions or closing costs and we are going to sell our rental property to him in 2 months!
- 5 out of 5 stars
Brandy was amazing at helping my family move on from a 50 year old house that was being used a rental property. The process was very easy and we closed in 60 days which was perfect timing for our tenants. I highly recommend working with this company if you want to sell a house as-is.
Straight answers
Questions Sellers Ask Us
The ones people ask about this, then the seven we get asked most.
-
Where does probate get filed in Miami-Dade?
Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Probate Division, in Miami. We work alongside the estate's attorney and pay that attorney at closing. Your attorney runs the estate. We are buyers, not lawyers, and we give no legal advice.
-
Who records a lien on a house in Miami-Dade?
Deeds and liens are recorded with the Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller. That is where a recorded code enforcement order shows up, and it is one of the things we check before the offer.
-
What is the documentary stamp tax on a deed in Miami-Dade?
Miami-Dade is the only county in Florida with its own rate: 60 cents on each $100, or portion thereof, plus a surtax of 45 cents on each $100. The Department of Revenue states the surtax is not due on a document that transfers only a single-family dwelling. It is a state tax, not our fee, and it does not come out of what we agreed you net.
-
Does the wind code change what a repair costs in Miami-Dade?
Miami-Dade sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-code jurisdiction in the state. It is one of the numbers behind our offer, and we show you the comps and repair numbers we used.
-
How fast can you close?
You pick the date. Some sellers want two weeks, others need two months to line up the next place. We hold the date you choose.
-
Do cash buyers lowball?
Our offer is below retail. That is the trade for no repairs, no commissions and a date you control. What we will not do is quote high, tie you up, then cut the number.
-
What if the house has code violations or open permits?
That is one of the main reasons people call us. We buy with the violations and open permits attached and work them with the city ourselves. You clear nothing first.

Can I sell an inherited house that's still in probate?
Yes, and it happens constantly. We work alongside the estate's attorney and pay that attorney at closing. Your attorney runs the estate. We are buyers, not lawyers, and we give no legal advice.

What does it cost me?
Nothing. No commission, no closing costs, no fee for the offer or the walkthrough. What we agree on is what you net. Any lien or payoff shows as a line before you sign.
-
What if there's a tenant who won't leave?
We buy occupied houses. You do not have to evict anyone for us; after closing that is ours. Tell us the real tenant situation up front so the number holds.

Do I need to clean it out?
No. Leave what you do not want. Furniture, boxes, the garage, we deal with it, and anything usable gets donated instead of dumped. Take what matters and go.
