Can I sell a house with title problems?

Often, yes, but it depends on the problem. Some issues, like an old mortgage that was paid off but never released, can sometimes be cleared as part of the closing, while others take more time or legal work. Send us what you know and we'll tell you what we see.

What is a cloud on title?

A cloud on title is anything in the public records that raises a question about who owns the property or what's owed against it, such as an unreleased lien, a missing heir or a deed error. It can keep a title company from insuring the sale until it's resolved. We evaluate these situations and, when needed, coordinate with title companies and real estate attorneys.

How do you sell a house when the owner died and the deed is still in their name?

Someone usually has to get legal authority first, often through probate, before the house can be sold with clean title. Every family's situation is different. We can evaluate the house and coordinate with your attorney or a title company on what it would take to close.

Can you sell a house with missing or uncooperative heirs?

Sometimes. When an heir can't be found or won't sign, there may be legal steps that let a sale move forward, but they take time and an attorney's help. We can look at the situation, coordinate with the title company and attorneys involved, and tell you honestly whether it's something we can take on.

Do you provide legal help with title problems?

No. MarKey Home Buyers isn't a law firm and doesn't give legal advice or representation, and not every title problem can be resolved. What we can do is evaluate the situation, coordinate with title companies and real estate attorneys when needed, and tell you plainly whether we can make an offer.

Sell My House Fast Orlando, FL | Cash Offer

Not every Orlando house is ready for the open market. Maybe it's an older home in College Park that hasn't been touched in decades, a rental in Washington Shores that's become more trouble than it's worth, or a house you inherited and can't keep up from out of town. Listing means repairs, showings and waiting on a buyer's lender. Selling for cash means none of that.

MarKey Home Buyers is headquartered in Atlanta and buys houses across Florida, including Orlando and all of Orange County. We work with you by phone, text and email, schedule a short walkthrough, and close through a title company.

What you get with MarKey

An as-is purchase: no repairs, no cleaning, no inspection list to negotiate.
No commissions or fees, with typical closing costs paid by us.
A written cash offer, usually within 24 hours, plus an explanation of how we priced it.
A closing date that fits your life, from about two weeks out with clear title to whenever you're ready.
A heads-up before you sign if we plan to assign the contract to another buyer.

Orlando situations we handle

Owners reach out to us when they're falling behind on the mortgage or weighing options in a foreclosure lawsuit, when they've inherited a house or are working through probate, or when tax debt, title defects or code liens are holding up a sale. We also buy from landlords ready to get out, couples splitting up, and owners whose house just won't sell or needs too much work.

Orlando specifics

Foreclosure sales. Florida foreclosures run through the courts. In Orange County, the Clerk of Courts conducts foreclosure auctions online at myorangeclerk.realforeclose.com, a practice the Ninth Judicial Circuit authorized in 2011. The clerk's site also offers foreclosure education resources built with the Orange County Bar Association.
Probate. Orange County is part of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, and estate cases are filed through the Orange County Clerk's Probate Division in downtown Orlando, which processes formal and summary administrations, wills and guardianships.
Property taxes. The Orange County Tax Collector (octaxcol.com) collects property taxes and has sections for delinquent property taxes and tax certificate and deed sales.
Code enforcement. The City of Orlando's Code Enforcement Division, in the Economic Development Department, enforces city codes. Its Code Enforcement Board hears violations, and owners can look up code cases and liens online.

Questions sellers ask

Who buys houses in Orlando for cash?

Cash buyers like MarKey purchase houses directly from owners, with no agent or bank loan involved. We’re based in Atlanta and buy across Orlando and Orange County in any condition. Send us the address for a written, no-obligation offer.

Where can I find Orange County foreclosure sale dates?

The Orange County Clerk of Courts lists and holds foreclosure auctions online at myorangeclerk.realforeclose.com. Your own sale date is set in the court’s final judgment, so if you have one, send it to us early and we’ll tell you honestly whether a sale could close in time.

Can I sell my house in Orlando with a code enforcement lien?

In many cases, yes. Code liens are typically settled from the sale proceeds at closing, and we factor them into our offer. Tell us what you know about the case and we’ll review it.

How long does it take to sell a house for cash in Orlando?

With no lender involved, a cash sale can close in as little as two weeks when the title is clear. Estates, liens or title issues can take longer, and we work around your timeline.

Do I have to make repairs before selling my Orlando house?

No. We buy as-is, and the condition is part of our offer from the start. You won’t get a repair list after an inspection.
