We Know What Flood Damage Really Costs
Flooding doesn't just damage your home. It disrupts everything.
Whether it was a hurricane, a rising water table, or a slow-moving storm, flood damage leaves you with a property that's hard to sell, hard to repair, and expensive to sit on. We help St Pete homeowners find a way out.
You may be in a flood zone that makes traditional financing impossible for any buyer. You may be waiting on FEMA, fighting with your insurance company, or weighing the cost of remediation against what the house would actually sell for. Or you may have simply decided that rebuilding isn't the right move for your life right now.
Whatever brought you here, you don't need to have the insurance claim resolved, the mold remediated, or the water damage repaired before talking to us. We buy flood-damaged homes across St Pete — standing water damage, compromised foundations, mold throughout — as they are, for cash, with a closing date you control.
We know Shore Acres, Pinellas Point, and the other neighborhoods that have felt this hardest. That local knowledge means faster, more accurate offers — not generic valuations from distant investors who've never seen these streets.
"My house in Shore Acres flooded twice in two years. The second time I couldn't face starting over again. They gave me a fair offer within 24 hours and I closed in 11 days. I finally moved forward." — St. Petersburg seller, 2024

Florida Legal Framework
What Florida Law Requires When Selling a Flood-Damaged Home
Florida has specific disclosure obligations for flood-damaged properties. Understanding these protects you legally — regardless of whether you sell to us or anyone else.
This is informational only, not legal advice — consult a Florida real estate attorney for your specific situation.
Flood Damage Disclosure
Florida Statute §689.261 requires sellers to disclose whether the property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area and whether flood insurance has been required. Known flood damage must also be disclosed as a material defect under Florida's general disclosure obligations. Failure to disclose can create post-sale liability.
Florida Statute §689.261 →Mold Disclosure Requirements
Mold is a known material defect in Florida and must be disclosed if you're aware of it. Florida Statute §404.056 governs indoor air quality. Porous materials visibly moldy after flooding — drywall, insulation, carpet — are generally considered unsalvageable and must be disclosed to buyers.
FL Dept. of Health — Mold Guidelines →Flood Zone & Insurance Disclosure
If your property is in a FEMA-designated flood zone, buyers using financing will typically be required to carry flood insurance — a cost that affects what they can offer. You must disclose the flood zone designation. Cash buyers like us are not subject to this lender requirement, which is why we can purchase where financed buyers cannot.
FEMA Flood Map Service Center →FEMA & Insurance
Should You File Your Insurance Claim First, or Sell First?
One of the most common questions we get from flood-damaged homeowners. The answer depends on your situation — here's how to think through it honestly.
If You Plan to Repair and Relist
File your insurance claim first. The payout funds repairs — essential if you're going the traditional listing route. Be prepared for a lengthy process: Florida insurance disputes can take 6–18 months, and contractor availability post-storm can extend that further.
Florida CFO — Insurance Consumer Help →If You Want to Sell As-Is
You can sell without filing — or with a claim still open. Some sellers file first, then sell before repairs are completed, using the payout to offset the cash offer price. Others sell without filing at all, trading the insurance process for speed and certainty. We're happy to discuss which makes more sense for your specific situation.
FEMA National Flood Insurance Program →Free Assistance Resources
Florida homeowners have access to several free resources regardless of which path they choose: FEMA disaster assistance (disasterassistance.gov), the Florida Division of Emergency Management (floridadisaster.org), and the Florida Bar's Lawyer Referral Service for legal questions about disclosures and claim disputes.

Every homeowner's situation is different — consult a licensed Florida attorney or public adjuster before making decisions about insurance claims or property sales.

What Sellers Say
From homeowners who sold flood-damaged homes in St Petersburg.
No repairs. No waiting on FEMA or insurance. These sellers found a faster way through.
★★★★★
“John and his team reached out to gauge my interest in selling my home at I time I had just started to consider it. I was recovering from major surgery, and they were very accommodating with the closing date and several other things. They made a good cash offer "as is" - so I didn't have to deal with last minute hiccups. It was a smooth and painless process that allowed me to move out of state to be closer to my first grandbaby!!”

Common Questions
Common seller questions about flood-damaged homes in St Petersburg.
Is it hard to sell a house in a flood zone in St Petersburg?
It can be challenging through traditional channels. Lenders often won't finance purchases in flood zones, and buyers requiring financing may be blocked entirely. A cash buyer eliminates this obstacle — we purchase directly without lender requirements, making flood zone properties fully sellable.
Is selling a flooded house in St Petersburg feasible?
Yes. We buy flood-damaged houses in St Petersburg for cash, AS-IS, with fast closes. You don't need to repair anything or wait for traditional buyer financing. We evaluate your property in its current condition and make a fair cash offer.
How long does closing take on a flood-damaged home?
Cash offers can close quickly. We've helped sellers close in as little as a week to two weeks when conditions align. The exact timeline depends on your readiness and situation — we prioritize speed and flexibility, and we work around your schedule.
Do I need to repair before selling?
No. We buy AS-IS, so repairs are not required for our cash offers. Whether your home has water stains, structural concerns, mold, or significant interior damage, we purchase it in its current state. You avoid the cost and hassle of repairs entirely.
What documents are needed to start the sale?
We'll gather property info and basic identification, and we'll guide you through every document you need. Typically, this includes proof of ownership, property details, and a few standard disclosures. Our team walks you through each step to make the process straightforward.
