How to Find Cash Home Buyers in Orlando
Jun 12, 2025
When life demands a quick sale of your Orlando home, finding a cash buyer can be your fastest path to closing. Perhaps you're relocating for a new job opportunity, facing financial pressures, or managing an inherited property. Whatever your situation, selling for cash eliminates the waiting game of traditional home sales.
According to recent data, Orlando's median home price is $429,950, and the average days on the market have increased to 68 days. Sellers typically receive around 98% of their asking price. Overall, the city has shifted more toward a balanced real estate market, but it continues to see growth in certain areas.
"There are a lot of pockets in Orlando that are growing," explains Megan Hedrick, Director of Sales for Mark Spain Real Estate in Orlando. "Specifically, the Lake Nona area is exploding. You have a lot of new builds happening in DeLand and Deltona. Up north towards Ocala is also growing because there are a lot of opportunities to build. So people are still flooding the Orlando area, and I don't think we'll stop growing anytime soon."
This growth makes Orlando an attractive market for cash buyers, with investment activity accounting for around 20.7% of real estate transactions in the area. Let's explore how you can connect with legitimate cash buyers in Orlando, whether you decide to take the DIY route and source a cash offer on your own or work with a professional who can connect you with a network of vetted cash buyers ready to make a competitive offer.

There are several types of cash buyers in Orlando, each with different motivations and approaches. Understanding the landscape helps you navigate your options more effectively.
In Orlando, cash buyers make up a significant portion of the market, with approximately 32.6% of area sales closing with cash. These buyers are predominantly investors, falling into several categories:
Cash offers make sense when speed, certainty, or convenience outweigh maximum price:
"In many cases, when somebody calls us wanting cash offers, they are a distressed seller. They're going through a divorce. Their mom just gave them this house. They don't know what to do with it. There's been a death in the family. They're trying to figure it out,” adds Hedrick, noting that these are common motivations for Orlando sellers.
Seeking cash offers on your own means navigating the entire process without professional guidance. You’ll need to find buyers, evaluate offers, and manage risks alone. While possible, this path lacks the protection and expertise an agent provides.
Research local investors and connect with Orlando cash buyers through billboards, direct mail, online searches for "cash home buyers in Orlando," or Facebook Marketplace listings. For each buyer, you'll need to share property information and possibly photos or videos.
Research comparable neighborhood sales to establish your property's market value. When reviewing offers, consider the closing timeline and contingencies and evaluate your net proceeds after fees and closing costs. Cash offers typically range from 70% to 90% of market value. Weigh this discount against the benefits of speed and convenience.
The DIY approach creates an information imbalance, since investors have significantly more experience than most homeowners. Watch for high-pressure tactics, changing terms, or last-minute fees. You'll also need to handle all paperwork and legal requirements yourself, including Florida's specific disclosure laws. Perhaps most challenging is determining which offers are legitimate and fair while managing the stress of a quick sale.
Looking for reliable cash buyers without the hassle? Mark Spain Real Estate's Guaranteed Offer program delivers multiple cash offers from a vetted buyer network, plus a dedicated agent to guide you through the process. It's the perfect blend of convenience and support.
According to Hedrick, about one-third of Orlando sellers working with Mark Spain Real Estate select their Guaranteed Offer. “Our sellers like it for the convenience because we can close fast. We’ll be able to close in as little as 21 days,” Hedrick notes.
Guaranteed Offer is simple and straightforward:
If the cash offers don't meet your needs, you can seamlessly transition to a traditional listing. "We're just going to pivot and go straight to market. That's why we're going to have the photography already done. So we're not wasting any time," Hedrick explains.
One significant advantage of working with Mark Spain Real Estate is the flexibility of having options. “I can't tell you how many times we’ve gone to a seller’s house and they’ll say, 'I really wish I had called you before the other agency I worked with.' Because not one realtor tells them, 'Hey, let's source cash offers before we take you to market,'" Hedrick shares.
The best approach to selling your Orlando home for cash depends on your specific priorities and circumstances. Consider the following factors while making your decision:
While pursuing cash offers on your own might seem appealing, remember to factor in the time you'll spend finding and vetting potential buyers, negotiating with multiple investors, and managing closing on your own.
With a Guaranteed Offer, you can remove the guesswork and close quickly. This can be particularly valuable if you've already purchased your next home or need to relocate quickly.
"In Orlando, we are still in a balanced market, but we're teetering more towards a buyer market," Hedrick explains. This is evident in the market data showing a 5.6% year-over-year decrease in home prices and an average of 68 days on market.
In these conditions, having a reputable company manage your cash sale can provide better offers and additional security.
This is especially important as many Orlando sellers are motivated by financial concerns. "The number one theme right now is cost,” Hedrick shares. “The economy is so tough right now that people are either selling to get equity to move on to the next chapter of their life, or they're saying, 'Hey, I just bought this two years ago, but I can't afford the insurance. I can't afford the HOA.'"
