Empty House
Draining You?
Turn It Into Cash.

A vacant house still costs taxes, insurance, utilities and lawn care — and attracts break-ins, squatters and code citations. We buy vacant and abandoned houses as-is, wherever you live now.

The Real Cost of a Vacant House

South Florida · Palm Beach to the Keys

Houses sit empty for a lot of reasons: an owner moved into assisted living, a rental tenant left and the repairs never got done, a family member passed, or an out-of-state owner just never got around to it. Months turn into years. Meanwhile the property keeps costing money.

  • Insurance. Many policies limit or exclude coverage once a house has been vacant for a set period. Vacant-dwelling coverage is expensive when you can find it.
  • Code enforcement. Overgrown yards, pools that turn green and boarded windows bring citations and daily fines in many South Florida cities. Some municipalities require vacant property registration. See code violations.
  • Squatters and break-ins. Empty houses get noticed. Removing unauthorized occupants takes time and sometimes legal help.
  • Taxes and liens. Unpaid property taxes lead to tax certificates and eventually tax deed sales. See tax liens.
  • Deterioration. Florida heat and humidity are hard on a closed-up house — mold, roof leaks and termites move fast. See roof and foundation damage.

We buy vacant and abandoned houses as-is, including ones with utilities shut off, open code cases, trash or old furniture left inside, and squatters. We can handle almost everything remotely: you sign electronically or at a notary near you, and the title company wires your money. Owners living in other states or countries — including Latin America — sell to us regularly, and we can do the whole process in Spanish.

Once we close, we either renovate the house (a fix-and-flip) or, if it's too far gone, clear the lot and build new construction. Either way the house stops being a problem for you and the neighbors.

If the house was inherited and probate hasn't been opened, start with selling before probate. If it's full of belongings, see hoarder houses. Behind on a mortgage on a house nobody lives in? See behind on the mortgage.

Who we are. Prop Hunters is a local cash buyer based in Miami Lakes, operating since 2014 with more than 1,000 transactions behind us. We buy single-family homes, duplexes, townhouses and teardown lots across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties — from Jupiter down to Key West. We renovate and resell houses (fix-and-flips), and when a house is past saving we build new construction on the lot. That is why condition rarely scares us off. One thing we don't buy: condos. If your property is a condo unit, we'll tell you so up front rather than waste your time. Call or text (305) 812-9445 — hablamos español, and the whole conversation can happen in Spanish if that is easier for you or your family.

FAQ

Can I sell if I live out of state or abroad?

Yes. Most of the process is remote, documents can be signed with a notary near you, and funds are wired.

Do the utilities need to be on?

No. We can see the house with the power off.

What about squatters?

Tell us. We can still buy, and we'll price in the time and cost of resolving it.

Do I need to clean it out?

No. Leave what you don't want; it's part of the as-is sale.

Do you buy vacant condos?

No, we don't buy condos. We buy houses, small multifamily and lots.
