Why Homeowners Work With Us

Discretion. Certainty. Speed.

We operate as a private buyer, not a brokerage — a different lane from listing on the open market, where a house that needs work can sit for months. It's often the option local agents point clients toward when a house doesn't fit a traditional sale. If you're already working with an agent, we're glad to coordinate directly with them.

Discretion

No signs on the lawn, no open houses, no public listing. Your situation stays between us.

Certainty

A written offer with no financing contingency. Once we agree on a price, the deal doesn't fall through.

Speed

Close in as few as 14 days, or set a date that works for you — even a few months out.

The Process

Three steps to a closed sale

No inspections to schedule around, no financing to wait on, no repairs to make first.

1

Tell us about the house

Share the address and a few details online or by phone. Takes about five minutes.

2

Receive a written offer

We evaluate the property and present a fair, no-obligation cash offer — usually within 24–48 hours.

3

Choose your closing date

Accept on your terms and close with a licensed title company, on a date that suits you.

For Real Estate Agents

A resource, not a competitor.

We're not licensed to list or represent sellers, and we're not trying to be. When a client's house doesn't fit a traditional listing — major repairs needed, a stalled estate, a landlord ready to be done — we can make a direct cash offer as a backup or alternative path, and we pay a referral fee on any deal that closes. Prefer to keep the listing and just need a reliable cash buyer at the table? We're happy to work that way too.

Questions

What homeowners ask us

No. French Equity Partners is not a licensed real estate broker or sales associate in the State of Florida, and we do not act as an agent for you or represent your interests in a fiduciary capacity. We purchase real estate directly, as a principal buyer, under the private-purchaser exemption in Florida Statute §475.011 — the same basis on which any individual or company can buy real estate for their own account. Because we are not licensed, we do not list, broker, or market real estate on behalf of a seller or any third party; any offer we present is to purchase the real estate ourselves or to assign our rights under a purchase contract. We recommend every seller consult an independent Florida real estate attorney or licensed agent before signing any agreement, and we're glad to close through a licensed title company of your choosing. If you're already working with an agent, we're happy to coordinate directly with them.

When we don't close on a property ourselves, what we market to other buyers is our contractual right to purchase it — our equitable interest under the purchase agreement — not the real estate itself. We never represent that we own, list, or have authority to sell property on a seller's behalf. This distinction is required under Florida law for anyone operating without a real estate license.

Our offers reflect the property's current condition, local market data, and the certainty and speed of a direct cash sale. It's typically below full retail value — the trade-off for avoiding repairs, commissions, and months of uncertainty. We're happy to walk through exactly how we arrive at a number.

No. We buy houses as-is, including properties with major repair needs, tenant-occupied homes, or houses that are part of an estate still being settled.

None. Requesting an offer is free and confidential, and you're under no obligation to accept it.

We can typically close in 14–21 days through our title company, or work to a later date if that suits your circumstances better.
