Buying in St. Petersburg
What we buy in St. Petersburg, and why owners call us.
St. Petersburg has a particular problem that a lot of cash buyers will not touch. Much of Pinellas County sits in a flood zone, and between elevation certificates, rising premiums and the fifty percent improvement rule, a older block home can become genuinely hard to sell on the open market even when there is nothing wrong with it.
We buy those. We also buy the mid century houses that have never been updated, condo units where the association has just handed out a special assessment, and inherited homes that have sat empty while an estate worked its way through probate. We are not scared of a property that needs an engineer's report or a new roof before anyone will insure it.
If your house has been listed before and fell out of contract at inspection or at the insurance stage, that is a conversation worth having. That situation is common here and it is one we can usually solve, because we are buying with our own funds rather than someone else's lender.
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 St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg 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.

What sellers say about working with us.
“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.”

“My experience was with David Melman. David was a go getter, he asked me to trust him and after I did he came through. I can’t say enough of how glad that we found him. When you meet him you will find out how good he is, we did.”

Selling a house fast in St. Petersburg, answered.
How fast can you buy my house in St. Petersburg?
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 St. Petersburg, 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 St. Petersburg?
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 St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg sales and come back with a real number, usually within 24 hours. There is no obligation attached to it.
