Buying in Sarasota
What we buy in Sarasota, and why owners call us.
Sarasota splits into two very different markets. There is the version in the magazines, and then there is the everyday housing stock east of the Trail: 1960s and 1970s ranches in Sarasota Springs, Kensington Park and Ridge Wood Heights, villas in Gulf Gate, and condo units where the monthly fees have climbed faster than the values.
The second market is where we spend our time. Those houses are structurally fine and cosmetically thirty years behind, which is a bad combination for a listing and a perfectly normal one for us. We are also a common call for estates. A lot of Sarasota property is owned by people who bought it decades ago, and when it passes to the next generation the family is often out of state and wants it resolved rather than managed.
One of our Google reviews is from a Sarasota landlord who sold us his rental. That is the most frequent version of this call: a tenant situation that has stopped being worth the trouble, and an owner who would rather have the cash than the property.
How it works
Three steps, and a person on the other end of each one.
Step 02
We run the numbers and call you
We look at the property, check recent Sarasota sales and come back with a real offer, usually within 24 hours.
Step 03
You pick the closing date
Take the offer or leave it, with no pressure either way. A local title company handles closing and we fund in cash.
We are licensed, which means you have options.
We are licensed Florida real estate professionals as well as buyers. If a cash sale is the right answer for your Sarasota property, we buy it ourselves and close in our own name. If listing it on the open market would genuinely net you more, we will tell you that, and we can handle that side too.
We are multilingual.
English, Russian, Ukrainian and Spanish, so you can go through the numbers in the language you are most comfortable in.

“David at The Melman Group was incredible to work with. If you’re looking to sell your house for cash, I highly recommend them. They gave me a fair cash offer, closed quickly, and handled every part of the closing process, making everything stress-free. In a market where it’s hard to know who to trust, David was honest, professional, and transparent from start to finish.”

Selling a house fast in Sarasota, answered.
How fast can you buy my house in Sarasota?
Most of our purchases close in two to three weeks, and we can move quicker when the situation needs it. You pick the closing date, not us. If you need longer because you are arranging a move or waiting on probate, that works too.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the property first?
No. We buy houses as-is in Sarasota, which means you repair nothing, clean nothing and stage nothing. Leave behind anything you do not want. The condition the property is in today is the condition we are buying it in, and what happens afterwards is our cost and our risk.
Are there realtor commissions or fees?
None. Selling without a realtor is the point of a direct sale, so there is no commission coming out of your proceeds and no listing fees. Closing is handled through a local title company and we cover our side of it.
Can you buy an inherited or probate property in Sarasota?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons owners call us, especially when the heirs live out of state. We close through local title companies that handle probate regularly, and we can usually tell you quickly whether the estate is far enough along to sell.
What if the house has storm damage or an open insurance claim?
We buy both. Florida property with roof damage, water intrusion or an unresolved claim is hard to list, because a buyer who needs a mortgage often cannot get coverage. That is not an obstacle for us, since we are not borrowing against the property.
How do I get a cash offer on my Sarasota house?
Send the address and a few details through the form on this page, or call us on (941) 525-7004. We look at the property, check recent Sarasota sales and come back with a real number, usually within 24 hours. There is no obligation attached to it.
