What Happens to My Title When I Sell to Cash Flow Deals?

Title Only Transfers Once

When a Cash Flow Deals sale closes, one deed gets signed, one deed gets recorded, and it names the seller as grantor and the actual homebuyer as grantee. Florida Statutes section 695.26 sets formatting rules the instrument itself has to meet before the county clerk will record it: legible printed names beneath every signature, the preparer's name and address, and a reserved 3-inch by 3-inch space on the first page for the clerk.

Once the clerk records the deed, Florida's recording act, section 695.01, is what protects that transfer against later creditors or purchasers who paid value without notice of the sale. That is the same legal process behind every Florida real estate closing, not a special track built around Cash Flow Deals.

What Novation Actually Means in This Deal

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.

Under Florida contract law, a novation substitutes a new party into an existing obligation and releases the original party from it, once four things are true: a valid existing contract, both parties' agreement to cancel it, both parties' agreement that a new contract replaces it, and a valid new contract in its place. Cash Flow Deals uses that mechanism to bring a qualified buyer into the seller's contract, so the buyer, not Cash Flow Deals, ends up as the party who actually closes and takes title.

Cash Flow Deals' Process: How Title Actually Moves

Cash Flow Deals' Process: 1. Cash Flow Deals locks the seller's net price before repairs are scoped. 2. Cash Flow Deals matches the property to a qualified FHA or conventional buyer already working with a lender. 3. The buyer's lender underwrites and funds the purchase. 4. A single deed is prepared, signed, and recorded, moving title directly from seller to buyer. 5. The closing statement shows Cash Flow Deals' flat fee as its own line item.

Step four is the one sellers ask about most, because it answers the title question directly: one signing, one deed, one new owner on record.

What Actually Shows Up in the Public Record

The recorded deed itself is a public document, viewable at the county clerk's office or its online records portal. It lists the seller by name as grantor and the buyer by name as grantee, along with the property's legal description and the notarized signatures a Florida deed needs before it can be recorded.

There is no intermediate name in that chain of title. A seller who wants to confirm this can pull the recorded deed after closing and see exactly who the buyer of record is.

When the Locked Price Can Still Change

A locked net price is not the same as a price that can never move, and Cash Flow Deals is direct about the one condition where it does.

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.

That condition applies to the net price, not to how title moves. Even if a structural issue changes the number, the deed still transfers the same way: once, directly from seller to buyer.
