Sell Your House Fast in Melbourne,
Florida to a Local Cash Buyer
We buy houses in Melbourne as-is, for cash. Call or text about the house and you'll have a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. You can close in as little as 7 days or on your timeline, and you pick the date. Brevard Buyers Group is a father-and-son team of cash home buyers in Melbourne, and Mike Adams Sr. is a licensed Florida real estate broker.
Local Expertise You Can't
Get From An iBuyer
Mike Adams Sr. has 30+ years of experience buying houses in Brevard County, and our family lives and works here. Every offer starts with the house itself: its condition, recent comparable sales nearby, and current Brevard market conditions. Then we buy it the way it sits. Old roof, open permit, tenants, a condo with a special assessment, a house still full of a parent's things. You don't fix, clean or list anything.

Four ways to sell fast in Melbourne, and what each one costs you
Our column uses our own terms. The other three describe each option in general, so check the details with whoever you talk to.
| Local cash buyer (us) | National iBuyer or online cash-offer site | Agent listing priced to sell fast | Standard agent listing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Repairs and showings | None. We buy as-is. | Usually an inspection, and repair costs may come off the offer | Showings, a buyer's inspection and repair requests | The same, often with prep work before the listing goes live |
| Fees the seller pays | No commissions, no closing costs, no hidden fees | Varies. Look for service fees and repair credits in the fine print | Agent commission (negotiable) plus seller closing costs | The same, plus the cost of owning the house while it sits |
| How fast | Offer within 24 hours. Close in as little as 7 days or on your timeline | Depends on the company and the inspection | Depends on how soon you get a contract and how fast the buyer's loan closes | Usually the longest wait of the four |
| The price trade-off | Below a fixed-up retail price, because we take on the repairs and the costs | Depends on the company, its fees and the repair deductions | You give up some price for speed | Usually the highest price, if the house shows well and you can wait |
If the house is in good shape and you aren't in a hurry, get a listing estimate too and compare the net numbers. Selling to us makes the most sense when the house needs work, the clock is short, or you don't want showings, repair negotiations and a buyer's lender in the middle of your move. The cost table further down this page shows how to work out each net figure.
How we build a cash offer on a Melbourne house
Two numbers set the offer.
- What the house is worth once it's fixed up. We look at recent sales of comparable homes nearby and at current Brevard market conditions. A house in Eau Gallie gets compared with recent Eau Gallie sales.
- What it will cost to fix. Roof, plumbing, wiring, flooring, whatever the house needs before a buyer with a mortgage could get it financed and insured.
The offer starts from the fixed-up value, minus the repair cost. We're investors, so the number also has to leave room for our costs, our work and our risk. That's why a cash offer comes in below what the same house would bring after a full renovation.
No agent commission, no closing costs, no repair bills. Your mortgage payoff, any liens and your share of this year's property taxes still come out of the sale money, as in any sale.
What it costs to sell a house in Florida: listing vs. selling to us
| Cost | Listing with an agent | Selling to Brevard Buyers Group |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commission | Set in your listing agreement, often as a share of the price. It's negotiable. | None |
| Closing costs | The seller usually pays a share, set by the contract | No closing costs |
| Repairs and inspection requests | Whatever you agree to fix after the buyer's inspection, plus any prep before listing | None. We buy as-is. |
| Keeping the house while it's for sale | Mortgage, insurance, utilities and upkeep until closing | Only until the closing date you pick |
| Prorated property taxes | Your share for the part of the year you owned the house | The same |
| Mortgage payoff and liens | Paid from your sale proceeds | Paid from your sale proceeds |
To compare, take the price an agent expects and subtract the commission, the fees on the agent's estimate, likely repair credits, carrying costs and your payoff. From our offer, subtract the payoff, any liens and the tax proration. Then compare the two net numbers.
Step by step, from your first call or text to closing day
- Call or text. Calls to (321) 471-5088 are answered around the clock by an AI assistant that takes your details and alerts Mike, who calls you back personally. You can also text (321) 794-7078 or use the offer form on our homepage.
- Tell us about the house. The address, its condition, your timeline and why you're selling. The form asks the same four things.
- Get your offer. A fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours.
- Sign and open title. If you say yes, you sign a purchase contract, and the title company opens a file and runs the title search.
- Pick the date. Close in as little as 7 days or on your timeline. If you need a few more weeks to pack, pick a later date.
- Close. You sign the closing papers. Your mortgage and any liens get paid off from the sale, and the rest is yours.
What can push a closing past 7 days
Seven days works when the title is clean. Title defects slow things down: an old mortgage that was paid but never released, a past owner's missing signature, a mistake in an earlier deed. Code enforcement liens, judgments and unpaid taxes have to be paid or cleared before the title company can close. If the owner has died, the person selling needs legal authority to sign, and that can mean waiting on the court. For a condo or a house in an HOA, the association has to issue an estoppel letter showing the dues and assessments owed, and getting it back takes time.
Any buyer would run into the same delays. If one of them applies to you, say so on the first call, so the date you pick is one everyone can actually hit.
Melbourne houses that are hard to sell the usual way
Some houses stall on the open market for reasons that have nothing to do with the asking price.
Older homes in Eau Gallie and around downtown
Older Melbourne homes can come with aging plumbing and electrical, and a buyer's inspector will write both up. Each line in that report turns into a repair request or a price cut. We buy the house as it sits.
Old roofs and insurance non-renewals
A buyer using a mortgage has to insure the house before the lender will fund the loan. When the roof is old or the house fails a 4-point inspection, coverage gets hard to find and a financed sale can fall apart late. Our offer is cash, so the sale doesn't wait on a lender's insurance requirements.
Hurricane and flood damage
A roof under a tarp, water damage, mold. Sell to us as-is and there are no contractors to line up first. If there's an open insurance claim on the house, tell us about it on the first call.
Condos with special assessments or inspection and reserve pressure
A big special assessment, a milestone inspection that hasn't happened yet, or a reserve study pointing at expensive repairs can scare buyers and their lenders away from a condo. We buy Melbourne condos and townhomes with HOA issues, special assessments or pending litigation.
Open permits, code violations and City of Melbourne code liens
Open permits and unpermitted additions tend to surface once a buyer's lender or title company starts digging. A code enforcement lien from the City of Melbourne is recorded against the property, and it has to be paid or resolved before closing, usually from the sale money. You don't have to close out the permits or fix the violations first.
Behind on payments or facing foreclosure
If you're behind, call sooner rather than later. We can make an offer and close on a date that fits, but we can't promise a sale will happen before a foreclosure sale date, and we don't give legal advice. A Florida foreclosure attorney can tell you where your case stands.
Inherited and probate houses
Before an inherited house can be sold, the person signing needs legal authority to sell it. Depending on how the property passed, that may mean probate, and a Florida probate attorney can tell you what your situation needs. Once the authority is in place, we buy the house as-is, and you can leave anything you don't want behind.
Tenant-occupied rentals
Showings are hard to set up around tenants, and plenty of buyers want a house they can move into. We buy tenant-occupied houses with the tenants still living there. Bring a copy of the lease to the first call.
Military moves and job relocation
Orders and job offers come with a date attached. We're veteran-owned, and you set the closing date around your move.
Florida paperwork when you sell
Section 689.302 of the Florida Statutes requires a seller of residential property, as-is or not, to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the time the sales contract is signed. Read the current version of the statute before you fill one out. Under the Florida case Johnson v. Davis, a seller generally has to disclose known problems that materially affect the home's value and that a buyer couldn't easily see.
Other disclosures can apply too, such as Florida's radon gas notice (section 404.056(5)) and the federal lead-based paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, so check with a Florida real estate attorney about your sale.
Documents to gather
- Your deed
- A government photo ID for every owner who has to sign
- Your mortgage lender's name and loan number, so the title company can order a payoff statement
- Contact details for your HOA or condo association, for the estoppel letter
- Any probate or trust paperwork, if the house was inherited
The title company sends a title commitment before closing. Read its requirements section, because that's the list of what has to be cleared before you close. All of this is general information, not legal advice.
Melbourne ZIP codes and neighborhoods we buy in
We buy houses across Melbourne ZIP codes 32901, 32904, 32934, 32935 and 32940, from Eau Gallie and Downtown Melbourne to Crane Creek, Wickham Park and Suntree. Single-family homes, condos, townhomes and rentals.
If you're just outside the city line, we also buy in West Melbourne, Melbourne Beach, Indialantic, Viera and Palm Bay.
Check us out before you call
- Look up the company. Search "Brevard Buyers Group" on sunbiz.org, Florida's business registry, and check that the company is active.
- Check the license. Mike Adams Sr. is a licensed Florida real estate broker. Look him up in the DBPR license search at myfloridalicense.com, where his license is listed under his full name, Michael Eugene Adams Sr.

- Never pay an upfront fee. Our offer is free, and no buyer should charge you to make one.

Sell my house fast in Melbourne, FL: seller questions
What Melbourne neighborhoods do you buy in?+
All of them. Eau Gallie, Crane Creek, Suntree, Wickham Park, downtown Melbourne and the I-95 corridor. Every Melbourne zip code from 32901 to 32940.
Can you handle Melbourne houses with code violations?+
Yes. Open permits, code violations, unpermitted additions, expired certificates of occupancy. We deal with all of that, and you don't fix anything.
Do you buy Melbourne condos and townhomes?+
Yes, including ones with HOA issues, special assessments, or pending litigation.
How fast can I sell my house in Melbourne, FL if I sell for cash?+
You'll get a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, you can close in as little as 7 days or on your timeline, and you pick the date. Title problems, liens, probate paperwork or a slow HOA estoppel letter can add time, so tell us about any of those up front.
Do I pay commissions or closing costs when I sell to you, and what still comes out of my proceeds?+
No commissions and no closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, any liens and your prorated share of this year's property taxes still come out of the sale money at closing, the same as in any sale. The settlement statement shows each line before you sign.
Will a cash offer be lower than listing, and when should I list with an agent instead?+
Usually it will be lower than what the same house would sell for fixed up and listed, because the offer accounts for repairs, our costs and our risk. If your house is in good shape and you have time for showings, inspections and a buyer's loan, get a listing estimate too and compare the net numbers. Our offer is free and comes with no obligation, so you can compare without pressure.
How can I check that a cash buyer is legitimate before I sign anything?+
Look the company up on sunbiz.org, check any license at myfloridalicense.com, ask for proof of funds, and close through a title company. Never pay an upfront fee. For us, search Brevard Buyers Group on Sunbiz and Michael Eugene Adams Sr. in the DBPR license search.
Who answers when I call (321) 471-5088?+
An AI assistant answers calls around the clock. It takes your details and the property information, then alerts Mike so he can call you back personally. You can also text (321) 794-7078.
Do I still have to disclose problems if I'm selling as-is?+
Selling as-is means we take the house in its current condition, but Florida's disclosure rules still apply. Section 689.302 of the Florida Statutes requires a seller flood disclosure at or before contract signing, and a seller generally has to disclose known defects that affect value and aren't easy to see. Other notices, like the radon gas notice and the lead-based paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, can apply too. A Florida real estate attorney can tell you what applies to your sale.
Can I sell a Melbourne rental with tenants still living in it?+
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied houses, so you don't have to wait for the lease to end or get the tenants out first.
