Morales Real Estate Ventures buys houses as-is across Jacksonville and Duval County. No repairs, no showings, no agent commission. You get a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours of us seeing the house.
We buy houses directly from owners in Duval County: estates where the owner has passed, houses with a foreclosure case filed, rentals that have become more trouble than they pay, and older homes that need work a lender will not finance.
You tell us about the house, we look at it in person or from photos, and we give you a number in writing with how we got to it. If you say yes, a local title company handles the closing and you pick the date.
We are investors, not real estate agents. We buy the house ourselves or pass our contract to another cash buyer we work with. Either way you get the price written in the contract, and you pay no commission.
A cash sale is not the right answer for every house. If listing with an agent would clearly leave you with more, we will say so.
The house usually has to go through probate in Duval County before it can be sold, and the personal representative signs. We can agree on a price now, wait for the court, and buy it with the contents still inside.
A sale before the court sets a sale date can pay off the lender and leave the owner or the estate with what is left. That includes reverse mortgages that came due when the owner passed.
When brothers, sisters and cousins all hold a share, nobody can sell alone. We work with the family and the title company to get every signature the sale needs.
We buy with the tenant in place, paying or not, so you do not have to go through an eviction before you can sell.
Older Jacksonville houses often have a roof an insurer will not write, or original wiring and pipes. A buyer with a loan cannot close on that. A cash buyer can.
Fines for overgrown lots, unsafe structures and unpaid nuisance work add up as liens. We buy with them in place and settle them through the title company at closing.
Call or fill in the form. Ten minutes on the phone covers the address, the condition and what you need out of the sale.
We walk the house or work from your photos, check recent sales nearby, and send a written offer with the math behind it. No obligation, and no charge.
The title company checks for liens, pays off the loan and anything owed to the city or county, and pays you. You can sign at their office or with a mobile notary.
As fast as about a week when the title is clean, or later if you need time to move. Probate, liens and several heirs can add time, and we will tell you up front.
Foreclosure in Florida goes through the court. The lender files a lawsuit and records a notice called a lis pendens, and a sale date is set only after a judge enters a judgment. That usually leaves months, not days, but the case keeps moving whether you answer it or not.
You can catch up the loan, ask the lender for a workout, sell the house, or let the case run. Selling to us is one option, not the only one. A HUD-approved housing counselor will go over all of them with you for free, and a Florida attorney can tell you where your case stands.
If we buy, the lender is paid off at closing and the case is dismissed. We will show you the payoff, our price and what is left for you before you sign anything.

A citation for an overgrown lot or an unsafe structure can turn into a daily fine and a lien on the property. Here is how the process works, what it costs, and how to sell with liens in place.

Yes, once someone has the authority to sign, which usually means probate. We can make the offer now and close when the court allows it. A probate attorney can tell you how long that will take.

No. We buy as-is, with the furniture, the repairs and the yard the way they are.
No. We are investors. We buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to another cash buyer. You pay no commission either way.
