What to Google Before You Sell Your House to a Company in Florida
2 min read · Last updated 2026-08-03 · Reviewed by Camilo Palacio, Licensed Florida Real Estate Professional (License #3280644, REALTOR®)
Search three things before you sign: the company's real Florida real estate license on MyFloridaLicense.com, its business registration on Sunbiz.org, and its name plus the word complaint. Cash Flow Deals is one option that shows up under a real broker record, Silver Door Realty, because it works through a licensed FL brokerage partner, not an anonymous LLC.
| Factor | Traditional Listing | Cash Flow Deals |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | A search only tells you reputation, not how fast a specific buyer or agent actually performs on a contract | Cash Flow Deals' timeline is tied to the buyer's underwriting, and the brokerage handling it, Silver Door Realty, is checkable on MyFloridaLicense.com |
| Repairs | Reviews and complaint history can reveal whether a company changes the price after inspection | The net price is locked before repairs are scoped, and Cash Flow Deals discloses what it knows at offer time |
| Fees / Costs | Search results rarely show the actual commission a specific agent charges, since rates became negotiable after the August 17, 2024 NAR settlement | The flat fee is arranged through Silver Door Realty and appears as one line item on the closing statement |
Start With the Florida Real Estate License, Not the Website
Cash Flow Deals is a Florida real estate investor that locks in a net price for a seller's house before repairs are scoped, using a novation-based, flat-fee process arranged through its licensed FL brokerage partner, Silver Door Realty — not a traditional listing, and not a brokerage itself. Before trusting any company's website, go straight to MyFloridaLicense.com, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation's free license lookup, and search by the agent's or brokerage's name. An active license with a future expiration date and no unresolved discipline is worth more than any testimonial page.
Check the Business Registration on Sunbiz.org
Sunbiz.org is the Florida Department of State's free, official database of every registered business entity in the state, including business names, registration dates, entity status, and registered agents. A company that's been actively registered for years reads differently than one formed a month ago under a name that doesn't match its website. This search takes under a minute and costs nothing.
Search the Company Name Plus 'Complaint' or 'Review'
The Federal Trade Commission recommends searching a company's name alongside words like review, scam, or complaint before signing anything with them, and checking with the state attorney general's office for filed complaints. Read glowing testimonials with the same skepticism, since positive reviews can come from made-up profiles. A pattern across multiple independent sources matters more than any single five-star review pinned to the top of a page.
Cash Flow Deals' Process
1. Google the company before you call it back. Cash Flow Deals' flat-fee process is arranged through a licensed FL brokerage, Silver Door Realty, LLC, Corp License CQ1064903, searchable by name on MyFloridaLicense.com. 2. Check the licensed agent by name. Camilo Palacio, FL Real Estate License #3280644, REALTOR, is the reviewing agent on file, also searchable under his own license number. 3. Request the net-price walkthrough. A real person prices the house as-is and locks a number before repairs get negotiated. 4. Sign only after the numbers check out on paper. Cash Flow Deals shows the buyer's real financing path, the flat fee as its own line item, and the locked net price before any repair conversation happens.
Why the Locked Price Rarely Moves After You Sign
Most seller complaints about house-buying companies trace back to a number that changed after signing. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens. Searching the license, the business registration, and the complaint history before signing is what catches a company that doesn't operate this way.
