Six months ago, a probate seller told me he felt stuck.

The house was tied up in a probate and guardianship case. The will only existed as a copy. The attorney handling it had gone quiet for months. And a low offer already on the table was so far under value that the court wouldn't approve it.

Most investors would have walked. I've spent 12 years and 300+ deals learning why you shouldn't.

Here's what it actually took to get this one closed:

→ I first reached out back in February. No contract, no commitment. Just checking in and building trust while the existing deal ran its course.

→ That existing low offer got rejected by the judge, exactly as it should have. A court has a duty to protect the estate, and the number didn't reflect fair value.

→ That's when I stepped in. I offered significantly more, an amount that was fair to the estate and that the court approved as fair market value.

→ The prior attorney had stalled the case for months. I brought in my own probate attorney, and we restructured the entire path forward.

→ Then came the real work: navigating a trust, an estate, and a guardianship at the same time. Withdrawing one petition. Getting an Order Determining Homestead entered. Clearing title, including a lien most people wouldn't have caught until closing. Coordinating between the probate attorney, the trustee's counsel, and the title company so nothing sat idle.

Six months of moving parts. This week, we close.

Probate isn't about chasing distressed houses. It's about stepping into hard, complicated situations and being the person who actually gets them handled, so a family can put it behind them.

That's the work. And it's why I love this niche.

If you're an investor trying to break into probate, or a family somewhere in Jacksonville stuck in one, this is what doing it right looks like.

Grateful to have been featured by Real Estate Bees on this one.
Probate properties are one of the most misunderstood areas of real estate for buyers AND sellers. Most people don't realize how different the process is from a standard transaction until they're already in the middle of it.

I wrote this guide to break down exactly what's involved: the timeline, the court requirements, the common pitfalls, and how to navigate it without getting burned.

Whether you're an investor looking at probate deals or a family trying to figure out what to do with an inherited property...this covers it all.

A homeowner emailed me last week asking the same question I get all the time. How do you actually compare to Opendoor or Offerpad?

I get it. There are a handful of companies buying houses for cash in Jacksonville right now, and they all sound the same from the outside. Fast offer. No fees. Close on your schedule.

But the details matter, and most of them aren't as similar as the ads make them sound.

Opendoor and Offerpad each charge a service fee of about 5 percent, on top of repair deductions. On a 250,000 dollar house, that fee alone can run around 12,500 dollars before they even look at the condition of the home.

HomeVestors, the We Buy Ugly Houses brand, has a national name but the actual experience depends entirely on which local franchise picks up your call. That inconsistency shows up in their BBB rating.

Clever Offers isn't even a buyer. It's a service that connects you with other buyers, so you end up negotiating through a middleman instead of talking directly to the person making the decision.

I put together a full breakdown comparing all of these options side by side, so Jacksonville homeowners can see exactly what each one charges and how the process actually works before they pick up the phone.

Out of state investor. Bad management. Non-paying tenant who trashed the unit.

Underperforming tenant on the other side.
Four problems stacked on one property and she was done dealing with it from across the country.

I reached out. She was open. We waited for the bad tenant to vacate and closed it.
This is exactly what I look for. The deals with layers that most people walk away from.
Tired landlord or investor with a property sitting on you? I can have an offer in hours and close in ten days or less.

Realtors and investors send me your off market and distressed deals.

Here's what most people get wrong about cash offers:

They think it's about getting the same price, faster. It's not. It's about solving a problem your agent can't.

Your house needs a new roof, foundation work, and the AC died. In July. In Jacksonville. No buyer is getting a loan on that. Your agent knows it...they just haven't told you yet.

I buy at about 70% of what your house WILL be worth after I update it to match the neighborhood, minus what it costs me to get it there. That's the formula. I'm not hiding it.

Is that less than retail? Yes. But retail isn't an option when your house needs $40K in work and you need to close this month.

Certainty. Speed. No repairs. No games. For the people who need it, that's worth more than a Zillow estimate.

🔥10 years. Jacksonville. $69M+ in closed deals.
