LOCAL & EXPERIENCED

Who you'll be working with

Paul

Founder, Fair Value Homebuyers

“I’m Paul. Along with my team, I’ve spent 20+ years helping Homeowners sell without repairs, with flexible closing dates and terms, and always at a fair price. Whatever you’re facing—a difficult situation, a tight timeline or just want it done—we’re here to help.”

Gary

Lead Property Buyer

“I’m Gary and I have helped many people by coordinating the sale of an inherited property where many heirs were involved. I have also alleviated the headaches for many people relating to problem tenants who were not paying rent and who refused to vacate the property and we have helped many individuals who were low on funds and wanted to sell their house. In these instances, we advanced them cash prior to the sale and, after the sale, we allowed them to remain in their house for a few weeks until they found a place to move to.”

WHAT OUR SELLERS SAY

Our local sellers will tell you

“We were dealing with bad tenants and had no idea what to do. Fair Value Home Buyers stepped in and handled everything, even hiring an attorney to help us navigate the situation. They are the best real estate investors we could have found. The process was a smooth transaction from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a difficult property situation!”

J

John Hoes

“Fair Value Home Buyers made selling my house in Plant City so easy. They bought it as-is, so I didn’t have to worry about any repairs. They gave me a fair cash offer and closed quickly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a hassle-free sale.”

B

Belle Elliott

“I needed to close fast. They moved at warp speed and made it so hassle-free and easy.”

C

Carolyn Kowalski

“My brother and I inherited our mother’s house and had no idea where to start — there were back taxes, the place needed work, and we live in different states. Paul and his team walked us through every step, handled the title issues, and gave us a fair cash price. They never once pressured us. What could have been a nightmare turned into the easiest part of a hard year.”

D

Dorothy & Frank Alvarez

“I had a rental with a tenant who hadn’t paid in months and a property that needed more repairs than I could afford. Every agent told me to fix it up first. Fair Value bought it as-is, tenant and all, and closed on the date I asked for. They handled the messy parts I didn’t want to deal with and treated me straight the whole way. I’d send anyone in a tough spot to them.”

J

James T. Morrison

I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to vacate the property. This created quite a headache for me since I was trying to sell my house. Fair Value Homebuyers handled all communications with the tenant and purchased my property in a quick and easy transaction. I am a very satisfied

WE'VE SEEN IT ALL

There's no rental situation we haven't handled.

Other buyers walk away from bad tenants. We take them on every day.

THE SITUATION

A great tenant of 8 years

Owned a St. Petersburg rental 11 years and wanted their equity out — without jeopardizing a long-time tenant. We reviewed the lease and bought with the tenant in place, honoring the same terms. No confrontation, no disruption, no drama.

HOW IT WENT

We coordinated with the title company, kept the tenant informed, and the seller got paid. Mortgage paid off and proceeds delivered the same day.

A tenant who wouldn't pay

We made a cash offer on the unit – tenant and lease included. The seller fixed nothing and evicted no one.

THE SITUATION

A tenant who wanted to stay

The seller wanted to free up a cash bid from a great tenant who elected to stay — and didn’t want to be the bad guy. We bought with the tenant in place and kept the lease terms unchanged.

HOW WE HELP

We spoke with the tenant directly so the landlord didn’t have to. No marketing, showings, or repairs — the tenant stayed and the seller got their proceeds.

WALK AWAY CLEAN

How we make escaping a bad rental hassle-free

THE COMPARISON

Two ways to look at it.

Holding it out usually costs far more time, money, and stress than landlords expect.

If you handle it yourself (with a tenant behind on rent)

Months 1-4

Serve notices, file for eviction, and wait for a court date.

Months 4-5

Attend the hearing, complete the eviction, and regain possession.

Month 5

Clean it out, repair the damage, and make it rent ready.
Months 5-10

List it, hold showings, negotiate, and wait for a buyer to close.

For the entire time: lost rent, out-of-pocket costs, and the stress of managing all of it.

5–8 months of your time, effort, and uncertainty.
