Who Pays For Repairs?Negotiated during the inspection periodInvestorWe pay for all repairs if selling to us for cash
*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.

Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…

Here at Bay Buy Homes, we understand that navigating the real estate market can be overwhelming, especially when uncertainty looms. This is why we specialize in offering guidance to those who may feel lost or unsure about their next steps. If you have found yourself at a crossroads and are unsure which way to move forward, let us be a guiding hand to help you reach your selling goals.

With our local Cash Offer Program, we can make you an immediate cash offer and help you close as quickly or as slowly as you need, or we can put our knowledge and experience selling homes in your area to work and list your house on the market for top dollar.

With a direct cash offer, we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house but we offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.

Such as…

icon 7 days

Close as quickly or as slowly as you need.

Avoid paying one more month of utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, or mortgage payments! With our Cash Offer Program, you can get your home sold for a fair cash price fast.

icon - sell as is

We buy houses in any condition.

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? Great! We love projects). We want to make an offer on your house no matter what the condition.

icon no fees

Don’t worry about closing fees. We’ve got you covered.

Because we are a full-service professional home buyer in Florida, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs! What we offer you is what you get (minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property).


Our work is more than just a profession; it’s a calling. Through every transaction, we strive to make a positive impact, ensuring that each individual or family finds the right path forward. With family as our compass and community as our foundation, we look forward to many more years of serving and enhancing the lives of those around us.

So when you add up the time you could save with a direct home sale, our promise of a no-hassle selling experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and closing costs, it’s no wonder why so many homeowners in St. Petersburg and the surrounding area choose to sell to a professional house buyer with a reputation for excellence such as Bay Buy Homes.

See for yourself and get a fair all-cash offer on your house today.
