Why Cocoa Sellers Choose Us

Local Expertise You Can't
Get From An iBuyer

Plenty of Cocoa houses are old enough to have original electrical, lath-and-plaster walls and a foundation that has settled over the decades. Those are exactly the things a buyer's inspector writes up and a lender balks at. We buy the house the way it sits, so none of it has to be fixed before you sell.

Cash offer vs. listing your Cocoa house

The listing column is a general picture. The agreement you sign with an agent sets the actual terms.

Selling to Brevard Buyers GroupListing with an agent
CommissionNo agent commissions or hidden feesUsually paid by the seller, at the rate in your listing agreement
ShowingsNoneShowings and open houses until a buyer signs
RepairsZero repairs or cleaning requiredThe buyer's inspection often leads to repair requests or a lower price
Closing costsNo closing costsThe seller usually pays a share, set by the contract
TimelineAs little as 7 days, or on your timelineDepends on the market, the buyer's loan and the inspection period
CertaintyA cash purchase, so there's no buyer's loan or appraisal to wait onThe deal can fall through if the buyer's loan, appraisal or inspection goes wrong

Listing usually brings a higher sale price, and on a house in good shape the difference can be worth the wait. A cash sale trades some of that price for skipping the repairs and picking your own closing date.

Is selling to a "we buy houses" company in Cocoa a good idea?

It can be, depending on the house and what you need from the sale. Here's roughly where each route fits.

A cash sale tends to make sense when

  • The house needs work you can't pay for or don't want to manage, like a roof, the wiring or a foundation repair.
  • Your insurer won't renew, or won't write a policy until the roof is replaced.
  • You inherited the house, you live out of town, and the estate needs to be settled.
  • You need a set closing date, whether that's next week or a few months out.

Listing is probably the better call when

  • The house is updated and would get through a buyer's inspection without much trouble.
  • You can afford to keep carrying the house while you wait for the right buyer.
  • Getting the top price matters more to you than speed or convenience.

Mike Adams Sr. is a licensed Florida real estate broker, so he knows how listing works from the inside. If you can't decide, get our cash offer, talk to a listing agent too, and compare what you'd actually walk away with from each.

How we figure a fair offer on an older Cocoa house

There's no secret formula. Here's what we look at, and you can ask us about any of it.

What similar houses nearby sold for

We start with recent sales of comparable homes close to yours, and we look at the condition they were in when they sold. A Port St. John ranch with a new kitchen and the same ranch with its original 1970s kitchen are not worth the same.

What it will take to fix

Next is the repair scope. On an older Cocoa house that might mean electrical, plumbing, the roof or a foundation that has settled.

Our costs and our risk

We're investors, so the number also has to leave room for our costs, our work and our risk. That's one reason a cash offer comes in below what the same house would sell for after a renovation.

No agent commissions, no repair bills, no cleanout costs, no closing costs. What does come out of the sale price, as in any sale, is whatever is owed against the house, such as your mortgage payoff, liens and unpaid property taxes. The title company pays those at closing and you get the rest.

With any buyer, us included, ask for the offer price and also for an estimate of what you'll net after payoffs.

Cocoa house problems we buy as-is

The first two are about older Cocoa-area houses. The rest turn up all over Brevard, so they get a line each here, and our home page has the full list of conditions we buy.

Older homes in and around Historic Cocoa Village

The older houses near the village often still have their original wiring and plumbing, lath-and-plaster walls, and a foundation that has settled. Any one of those can stall a regular sale once the buyer's inspector writes it up. We buy these houses as they are, foundation and all.

1970s ranches in Port St. John

Leave the original kitchen and baths, the aging roof and the tired AC the way they are. You don't update anything before you sell to us.

Old roofs and insurance non-renewals

You don't have to replace the roof before you sell to us.

Low lots and houses that have flooded

Water and mold damage are both on our list, so tell us about any flooding when you call.

Mobile homes on land you own

The lot has to be part of the sale.

Hoarder houses and vacant houses

A house packed to the ceiling and one that has sat empty with the power off are both fine as they are.

Code liens, back taxes and tax certificates

If a tax deed sale is already on the calendar, call sooner rather than later.

Inherited and probate houses

Who can sign the deed depends on the estate, so a Florida probate attorney should answer that part before a closing date is set.

Rentals with tenants in them

Have the lease and rent roll handy when you reach out.

A local buyer or a lead network? How to tell who you're dealing with

Search for a cash buyer in Cocoa and many of the sites you find look alike. Some belong to local buyers. Others are franchises or lead networks that collect your address and hand it to investors you've never heard of. Find out which kind you're talking to before you sign anything.

Look the company up on Sunbiz

Sunbiz.org is Florida's official company registry. Search the business name and see who the officers are and where the company is based.

Check any license they claim

Florida real estate licenses are searchable on the DBPR site, MyFloridaLicense.com. Look the person up by name and make sure the license shows as active.

Ask for proof of funds

Someone paying cash should be able to show it, with a bank letter or statement that covers a purchase the size of yours.

Ask which title company will close

Then call that title company yourself. The title company or closing attorney holds the money and pays off the liens, so you never hand money to the buyer directly.

Run every one of these checks on us too. Search Brevard Buyers Group, LLC on Sunbiz and Michael Eugene Adams Sr., Mike's full name on his broker license, on MyFloridaLicense.com. A buyer who gets annoyed by these checks has told you something.

Cocoa FAQ

Questions Cocoa sellers ask

Do you buy historic Cocoa Village homes as-is, with old wiring or foundation settling?+

Yes. Age and condition don't rule a Cocoa Village house out. You can sell it with the original wiring and a settled foundation exactly as they are.

Do you buy in Port St. John and the rest of the Cocoa area?+

Yes. Port St. John is part of our Cocoa coverage, and we buy houses there in any condition, including 1970s ranches that were never updated.

Do you buy mobile homes in Cocoa?+

Yes, mobile homes on owned land. We don't typically buy mobile homes in parks.

Can liens, back taxes or code fines be paid off when we close?+

Usually, yes. The title company pays them from your sale proceeds at closing. The sale price has to cover the total, so if you're not sure what's recorded against the house, tell us early and the title search will show it.

Do I have to clean out the house or make repairs before selling?+

No. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest for us to handle. There are no showings, so nobody walks through while the house is still full.

How fast can you close on a Cocoa house?+

In as little as 7 days, or on your timeline if you need longer to move. A title problem or an estate still in probate can push the date out.

Do you charge fees or commissions, and are there closing costs?+

No commissions, no closing costs and no hidden fees. The offer itself is free, and you can take as much time as you need to think it over.

My insurance company won't renew because of the roof. Can I still sell?+

Yes. We pay cash, so the sale doesn't depend on a lender, and it's the lender that makes a buyer insure the house before closing.

Can I sell a Cocoa rental with tenants living in it?+

Yes. Tenant-occupied houses are on the list of conditions we buy, and your tenants can stay put while you sell.

I inherited a house in Cocoa. Can I sell it to you?+

Yes, including a house that's still in probate. Leave behind the belongings nobody in the family wants, and set the closing for when the estate is ready.

How do I know a cash buyer in Cocoa is legitimate?+

Look the company up on Sunbiz.org, check any license at MyFloridaLicense.com and ask for proof of funds. Don't pay anything up front, either. A real cash buyer doesn't charge you a fee just to make an offer.
