Duval Home Buyers

Hey there Jacksonville family, it’s recently been brought to our attention that some unaffiliated individuals may be using our good name for their own business purposes.

While It’s likely a misunderstanding, out of an abundance of caution we want to reiterate that our emails will always come from .com or from our brokerage .com. We do not use Gmail or any other non-branded email accounts for any reason.

We strongly encourage anybody who might be concerned to reach our office directly at our primary number: 904-346-0600 which will NOT change and can always be used to confirm the identity of our agents. Additionally, our office location has been the same for over a decade, and you can always find us at 1514 F***h Ave, Jacksonville, FL 32207 just across from the Metro Diner. If someone using an alternative email, or claiming to work out of a different address contacts you, please alert our office immediately.

We also thought that this is a great opportunity to re-introduce our expert team!

John Germaine – Founder, Owner, & Operator
Bobby Oliver – Realtor & Duval Home Buyers Agent
Collin Gorey – Realtor & Duval Home Buyers Agent
Owen Garton – Realtor & Duval Home Buyers Agent
Bard Rockenbach Jr – Realtor & Duval Home Buyers Agent
Christyann Alix – Project & Leasing Manager
Erik Jacobson – Operations & Marketing Manager

Plus we'd be lost without our incredible maintenance leaders Larry Cooper and Jay Alix.

For almost two decades we’ve been blessed with the opportunity to meet with Jacksonville’s homeowners to discuss buying their homes. We sincerely want to thank you for all of your support, and we look forward to many more years of buying homes and serving our Jacksonville Community!

"Sounded too good to be true."

That's a sentence we hear all the time. In fact, it's one of the most common objections we get when meeting with homeowners. And we get it, selling a home is a big decision. You want to feel like you made the right one.

We've found that the best way to make that happen is to be honest and real from minute one. So when you call us, you'll speak to a local, licensed agent. That same agent will meet you at your home, make you an offer, and be directly reachable for anything you need during your sale. No call centers, no jumping through hoops. Just a text, call, email, whatever you need.

If you are skeptical about cash buyers, we'd love the chance to show you why so many customers, like the one who was kind enough to leave us this awesome review on Google, choose to work with us and then choose to tell the world about their experience!

And as always, a huge shoutout to Collin Gorey for always going the extra mile to make our mission to homeowners a reality!

What does it mean to sell a home as-is?

Simply put, it means not having to make any repairs or perform any cleaning prior to closing on the sale. You sell the home in the exact condition it's in today.

For more than 18 years we've been buying homes as-is, allowing sellers to skip making costly repairs and ensuring you can sell when you need to, regardless of condition!

Selling a condo in Florida can be difficult right now. Recent changes to reserves and required inspections has made condominium ownership more expensive than ever, and many condominiums aren't approved for most typical types of financing.

But that doesn't mean that we're not buying them!

Today we closed on a beautiful condo unit in Jacksonville, and we're excited for the next steps towards cleaning it up and matching it with the perfect future homeowner.

If you have a condominium unit and you want to know what a REAL cash offer from a REAL local buyer looks like. Just give us a call. 904-346-0600. We'd love to come see it!

Communication can make or break a sale. All too often we hear of sellers getting blindsided at the last minute by contract cancellations. Sometimes the unexpected happens, but a good buyer will keep you up to date on where they are, what else is needed, and what to expect for the next steps, throughout the process.

We understand that selling your home is a huge decision, and we don't take that lightly.

One of our recent customers, Chris, was kind enough to give us a great review highlighting the differences in trust and communication between his first buyer, who bailed on him at the last minute, and Bard, one of our experts here at Duval Home Buyers.

We're blessed to have one of the best teams in the business, and we'd love to spend a few minutes discussing your home with you if you've ever considered getting a cash offer. Even if it's not the right fit, we're always happy to help with resources and recommendations on how to sell your house successfully!

Zillow ranked Jacksonville as the #4 buyers market in the country for 2026. That's bad news if you are a seller.

Right now sellers outnumber buyers by 71% in Jacksonville. That means there are nearly twice as many sellers looking to offload their home than there are buyers looking to purchase one.

And it's distressed sellers that are having the hardest time. Buyers are putting increased value on move-in ready, updated, and upgraded existing houses. Ensuring a few years of worry-free maintenance after their purchase to help re-build their finances.

If you are selling a fixer-upper, it's more difficult than ever. Accurate pricing and setting realistic expectations are a must - and with homes taking more than 80 days to sell as an average, that also means more uncertainty.

To have the best chance at a successful sale this year, you need to have a plan of attack. It starts with understanding your situation, and what hurdles you might face when selling your home. We've put together a simple infographic with the 6 most common types of distressed sales we see, and each has some unique roadblocks to overcome before a sale is possible.

If you are in a distressed situation and you are looking for certainty, Duval Home Buyers can help. Our local team can make you a same day cash offer, and we can close in as little as 7 days, ensuring your sale is simple and safe, the way selling should be!

Learn more by visiting our website: www.duvalhomebuyers.com or by calling our office directly at 904-346-0600. One of our licensed agents would be more than happy to spend a few moments discussing what our offer might look like!
