Pick Liz Buys Houses if your priority is a hands-off, as-is investor sale and you accept an offer that may sit below retail. With Cash Flow Deals, you choose between the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. Your Premium sale transfers title once, directly to your buyer, with no costs out of your pocket.
| Factor | Liz Buys Houses | Cash Flow Deals |
|---|---|---|
| Fees to seller | No commissions or fees; covers closing costs | Free to the seller; paid as a separate line on the closing statement |
| Who buys | Connects you to a local direct buyer in their network | A real, bank-financed buyer Cash Flow Deals brings to the table |
| Price certainty | Fast Cash Offer based on ARV minus repairs, selling costs, and investor ROI; may be below retail | The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. 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. |
| Repairs | Buy as-is, no repairs required | Sell as-is, no repairs required |
| Speed | Can close in roughly 7 to 28 days, on your timeline | Tied to buyer financing; not the fastest possible close |
| Net to seller | Convenient and fast, but investor margin is built into the offer | Aims for a stronger net by using a financed buyer, not an investor resell |
How Liz Buys Houses works for a Florida seller
Liz Buys Houses is a cash home-buying brand that markets a fast, low-hassle sale. Here's the part many sellers miss: Liz Buys Houses is a connector, not the buyer. Their own process describes three steps. You submit your property details by form or phone, Liz Buys Houses connects you to a local cash buyer who specializes in your market, and you close on your timeline. The actual purchase comes from a network of local investors, not from Liz Buys Houses itself.
The terms they advertise are genuinely seller-friendly on the surface. You pay 0% in commission and no fees, and they state they cover all closing costs. You sell in as-is condition, no repairs required. Closing can happen in roughly 7 to 28 days, or on your own timeline. For a Florida seller facing foreclosure, an inherited property, a divorce, or a home that needs work, that speed and simplicity is real value.
The offer math is where a seller should look closely. Liz Buys Houses publishes its formula: your offer equals the after-repair value (ARV) minus repair costs, minus selling costs, minus the investor's ROI. They list selling costs at around 10% of ARV. The ROI pays the investor's contractors and keeps the business running. That's a normal investor model, not a trick. But it means the number is built around an investor's profit margin.
Where Liz Buys Houses is strong
Speed is the headline strength, and it's legitimate. When a seller needs to be out in two or three weeks, an investor cash close beats a traditional listing every time. No mortgage contingency on the buyer's side, no appraisal gap drama, no months of showings.
Convenience is the second strength. You don't clean, stage, repair, or host open houses. You hand over the property in whatever condition it's in and walk away. For an out-of-state heir or a tired landlord, that's worth a lot.
Brand and reach come third. Liz Buys Houses operates nationwide with a large investor network and a visible marketing presence, including TV. A seller who wants a recognizable name and a one-form, one-phone-call front door gets that here. If your single most important goal is being done quickly with zero effort, Liz Buys Houses is a reasonable fit. That should be said plainly.
Where a Florida seller may net more or want more certainty
The trade-off in any investor model is price. A third-party review on SellMyHouseFast.com notes that Liz Buys Houses offers may land below retail market value, and their own formula confirms why: the investor's ROI is subtracted from the offer before you see it. Across the Florida cash-buyer market, investor offers commonly land in the range of 50% to 70% of after-repair value minus repairs. Some pay more or less by condition and location, but the margin is the point of the model.
A second consideration is what happens between your offer and closing. An investor cash offer still runs through that investor's inspection process, contract terms and timeline. Before you sign, ask what could change your number, what costs affect your proceeds and what happens if the sale does not close.
Liz Buys Houses may fit if speed and convenience matter most to you. If your priority is having more left after the sale, compare your expected proceeds and obligations under each offer before choosing.
How Cash Flow Deals differs
Cash Flow Deals gives you two offers to compare: the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. You choose. With the Premium Cash Offer, Cash Flow Deals brings that buyer in our place, and the buyer signs a new contract directly with you. Your Florida home may be listed through Silver Door Realty, a licensed Florida brokerage, with a licensed agent and scheduled showings.
We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. On Premium, only what your buyer's lender requires gets fixed; we arrange for those costs to be fronted and settled from the sale proceeds, from our share. On Fast Cash, we buy as-is, with no repairs for you to make. The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. 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.
Anything owed against your home is paid first from the sale proceeds, then you receive your agreed number, and Cash Flow Deals is paid last from what remains, as a separate line on the closing statement. The structural exception described above applies to that number. Your Premium sale runs through Title Guaranty of South Florida with one title transfer directly from you to your buyer.
Your Premium buyer's financing affects the closing schedule. If you must close in seven days, discuss that deadline before choosing either offer. If your buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number instead of the Premium Cash Offer. To compare both options for your property with Cash Flow Deals, call 786-891-9111.

Cash Flow Deals' Offer Process:
1. Contact Cash Flow Deals with your Florida property details. No-obligation offers typically follow within 24 hours so you can compare both options. The number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. 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.
2. Choose the Fast Cash Offer or the Premium Cash Offer. Cash Flow Deals buys as-is on Fast Cash. On Premium, your buyer signs a new contract directly with you and their lender funds the purchase. We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. Only what your Premium buyer's lender requires gets fixed, with costs fronted and settled from the sale proceeds, from our share. If your buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number instead of the Premium Cash Offer.
3. Your sale closes through Title Guaranty of South Florida. On Premium, title transfers once, directly from you to your buyer. The previously stated 14 to 21 days of signing is not the current closing schedule; your selected offer and written contract determine the timing, and you help pick the date.
Common questions
Does Liz Buys Houses actually buy my house?
Not directly. By their own description, Liz Buys Houses connects you to a local cash buyer in their investor network who specializes in your market. The purchase comes from that investor, not from Liz Buys Houses itself.
Are there any fees with Liz Buys Houses?
Liz Buys Houses states you pay 0% in commission and no fees, and that they cover all closing costs. The cost isn't a fee line. It's the investor's margin built into the offer, since their published formula subtracts the investor's ROI from your price.
Why might a Cash Flow Deals price be higher than an investor cash offer?
Cash Flow Deals connects you with a bank-financed buyer rather than an investor buying at a resell discount. Investor offers in Florida often land near 50% to 70% of after-repair value minus repairs because the investor's profit is subtracted first. A financed buyer doesn't need that built-in resell margin.
Is Cash Flow Deals free for the seller?
Yes. Cash Flow Deals is free to the seller. It's paid as a separate line on the closing statement, not deducted from your proceeds as a commission.
Which is faster?
An all-direct buyer route like Liz Buys Houses can close in roughly 7 to 28 days. With Cash Flow Deals, you choose between the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your house as-is and close, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. Premium depends on your buyer's financing, so compare your deadline with the additional proceeds. If your buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number instead of the Premium Cash Offer.
