Davenport sits in northeast Polk County along the US 27 and I-4 corridor, close enough to the Disney gates that a large share of its housing was never really built to be lived in full time. Resort communities, pool homes, and townhomes here are owned by investors from all over the country and overseas, and the reason people sell in Davenport is usually financial or logistical rather than anything wrong with the house.
ClearHomeOffer buys both kinds of Davenport property, the resort investment and the ordinary family home east of town. We pay cash, we buy as-is, and we can close around an existing booking calendar or a management contract. If your rental has stopped covering its own costs, or the HOA and CDD have outgrown what the property brings in, that is a situation we deal with constantly.
No repairs, no agents, no waiting on a buyer's mortgage to be approved.
Call 813-537-5202 or send the address through the form. It takes about a minute. We do not need photos, a walkthrough, or anything cleaned up first.
We review county records, recent comparable sales, and condition, then send a written no obligation offer, usually within 24 hours. We show you how we got the number.
Pick your closing date. We handle the title work and the paperwork through a reputable Central Florida title company, and you receive your funds by wire or check.
These are the situations we actually see in Davenport, not a generic list.
Between HOA dues, CDD assessments, management fees, pool service, and insurance, a soft booking season can turn a Davenport vacation home into a monthly loss. Owners often want out before another slow season rather than after it.
Many Davenport resort homes are owned by people who live thousands of miles away. Coordinating repairs, turnover, and a retail listing remotely is exhausting. A single cash closing removes the whole problem at once.
Resort communities carry heavy assessments to fund amenities, and special assessments land without much warning. When the carrying cost outgrows what the property earns, selling quickly matters more than squeezing the last few percent.
Outside the resort corridor, aging roofs and settlement or sinkhole history make homes nearly impossible to insure or finance. We buy those with cash and take the condition and the claim history as they are.
The defining feature of the Davenport market is the short term rental stock. Communities like Solterra, Windsor Island, Regal Palms, and the ChampionsGate area are built around vacation use, with private pools, furnished interiors, and community amenities funded by significant monthly assessments. That model works when occupancy is strong and management is competent. When it is not, the property becomes a monthly bleed, and an out of state owner who has never seen the house in person is left paying an HOA fee, a CDD bond, management fees, pool service, utilities, and insurance against inconsistent bookings.
Those properties are also genuinely hard to sell the conventional way. The buyer pool is narrow because most owner occupants do not want a furnished resort home with a mandatory rental program, and lenders treat them as investment or non warrantable condo risk, which tightens financing further. Add a furniture package, an active booking calendar, and a management agreement with notice requirements, and a retail listing can sit for a long time. We buy these with cash, with or without the furniture, and we work around the booking calendar rather than demanding a vacant house.
Outside the resort corridor, Davenport has a completely different housing stock. There are older homes in the original town core near Bay Street and the rail line, mid century block houses on larger lots, and rural parcels toward Haines City and Lake Wales with septic systems and well water. Deferred maintenance is the usual story there, along with roofs that have aged past what a Florida insurer will write, and the sinkhole and settlement history that comes with this part of Polk County. Those conditions make financing difficult and make a cash sale the practical route.

Drag to roughly what your house is worth. These are the costs that come out of a seller's proceeds on an ordinary listing, before anyone talks about repairs. You pay none of them with us.
Estimates, not a quote. Florida seller-side costs run roughly 6.25 to 9 percent of the sale price all in, and these use the conservative middle of that range. Repairs a buyer's inspection turns up are not counted above, and they are usually the bigger number. Our cash offer is below full retail price, which is how we cover the repairs and the resale. If your house is in good shape and you can wait sixty to ninety days, listing with a good agent will usually net you more, and we will tell you so.
Four questions, about thirty seconds. You get an offer range and, more useful than that, what you would walk away with either way. No email required to see it.
The street address is enough. We use it to pull the county record.
Add the address and we can keep going.
Pick the closest one. Be honest, it only changes the repair number, and a rougher house is not a problem for us.
Heated living area. A rough number is fine, and your county property appraiser lists it for free.
Your best guess. Think about what renovated houses on your street sold for, not what yours would fetch today.
How the offer is built. We start from the after-repair value, which is what your Davenport house would sell for once it is fully repaired and updated. We take 68 percent of that, then subtract what the repairs will actually cost. The remaining 32 percent covers our purchase costs, the holding costs while the house is being renovated, the resale costs on the back end, and our margin.
Your offer = (after-repair value × 68%) − repair costs
The repair figures we use. These are per square foot of heated living area, and they are the same numbers we use internally on Polk County houses before we ever see the property:
| Move-in ready | $6 per square foot |
| Light cosmetics | $18 per square foot |
| Needs real repairs | $38 per square foot |
| Major work needed | $65 per square foot |
What listing costs a seller in Florida. Seller-side costs here run about 6.25 to 9 percent of the sale price all in. The comparison on this page uses the conservative middle of that: 5.5 percent agent commission, about 2 percent in documentary stamps, owner's title policy, settlement and lien search fees, and 3 months of taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep at 0.25 percent of value per month while the house sits on the market. That is roughly 8.25 percent of the sale price, and it comes out of the seller's proceeds. On top of that, a seller listing a house that needs work usually has to spend the repair money first, because an appraiser flags the roof and the air conditioning and an inspection report prices the rest.
What we take on instead.
The honest caveat. If your home is in good condition, you have equity, and you can wait sixty to ninety days, listing with a good agent will usually net you more money than we will. We say that here and on every page of this site because it is true. Our offer is built for sellers who would rather have a closing date they can count on, no repair spending, and no cost of their own, than squeeze out the last few percent.
This is an estimate, not an offer. It is built entirely from numbers you typed in. A real offer comes after we pull the county record and the recent comparable sales near your property, and it can land higher or lower than this.
We check your numbers against the county record and recent sales nearby, then send a written offer, usually within 24 hours. No obligation, and we do not sell your information to anyone.

The difference between our offer and a listing is not just the price. It is everything you do not have to do.
No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs charged to you. The number we agree on is the number you receive at the table.
No repairs, no cleaning, no staging. Leave what you do not want. Roof, plumbing, electrical, and cosmetics are all our problem after closing.
Close in as little as 7 days if you need speed, or take 60 to 90 days if you need time to move. You pick the date, not us.
Probate, foreclosure, divorce, code violations, tenants, back taxes, fire damage. We have closed on all of it and none of it disqualifies you.
No mortgage approvals, no appraisal contingency, no financing that falls through two weeks in. Our offers are backed by cash on hand.
We work Davenport and the surrounding market specifically. You talk to the person actually making the offer, not a national lead broker reselling your information.
A cash offer is usually below full retail. What it buys you is certainty, speed, and no cost of your own. Here is the honest comparison.
| ClearHomeOffer | Traditional Agent | iBuyer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to offer | 24 hours | Days to weeks | 3 to 5 days |
| Closing timeline | As fast as 7 days | 30 to 90 days | 14 to 60 days |
| Agent commissions | $0 | 5 to 6% of sale price | Varies |
| Repairs required | None, we buy as-is | Often required | Deducted from offer |
| Showings and open houses | Zero | Multiple required | One inspection |
| Financing contingency | None, all cash | Buyer financing risk | None |
| Who pays closing costs | We do | Typically the seller | Service fee 2 to 5% |
| Risk of the deal collapsing | Very low | Moderate | Low |
If your home is in good condition, you have equity, and you can wait 60 to 90 days, listing with a good agent will usually net you more money. We say that plainly because it is true. Our offer is built for sellers who value speed, certainty, and a zero cost, zero repair exit over squeezing out the last few percent.
We show you the math. If the number does not work for you, no hard feelings and no follow up pressure.
Our offer starts from the After Repair Value, which is what your Davenport home would sell for on the open market once it has been fully repaired and updated. We build that number from recent comparable sales near your property, then subtract what the repairs will actually cost and the margin that makes the purchase work for us.
Say your home would be worth $300,000 after a full renovation, and it needs roughly $40,000 of work.
$300,000 × 68% = $204,000, minus $40,000 in repairs, gives a $164,000 cash offer.
That remaining 32% covers our purchase costs, the holding and carrying costs while the property is being renovated, the resale costs on the back end, and our margin. You pay no commission, no closing costs, and nothing for repairs, so the offer is what you actually walk away with. Every property is different and the exact percentage moves with condition, location, and how much risk the property carries.
Yes. We buy furnished short term rentals regularly and we do not require you to empty the house or cancel your calendar. Tell us what bookings exist and what the management agreement requires for notice, and we will structure the closing date around them. If you want to keep specific furnishings, say so early and we will write the offer accordingly.
They factor into it, and we are direct with you about how. A buyer of this property inherits those assessments, so they affect what the property is worth to anyone. What we will not do is give you a number and then quietly reduce it once title reports the CDD balance. We look the assessments up before we make the offer.
The Polk County Property Appraiser at polkpa.org shows assessed value, year built, square footage, sales history, and exemptions for each parcel. The Polk County Clerk at polkcountyclerk.net holds recorded deeds, mortgages, liens, and judgments. Pull both before evaluating an offer, especially if you bought the property remotely and have never reviewed the recorded documents.
Yes. This part of Polk County sits over karst limestone, and settlement claims, engineering reports, and partially completed grouting recommendations are a normal part of the market here. That history makes a home extremely difficult to insure or finance conventionally. We buy with cash. Send us the claim file and any engineer report so the offer reflects real condition rather than guesswork.
Yes. The original town core and the rural parcels toward Haines City are a large part of what we buy. Those homes are usually older block or frame construction with original systems, aged roofs, and sometimes septic. Those are the exact conditions that stop a financed buyer and are not a problem for a cash purchase.
We would rather you check our numbers than take our word for it. These are the official records for your property.
Confirm assessed value, year built, recorded square footage, and exemption status for your parcel.
Search recorded deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, probate cases, and foreclosure filings.
Check delinquent property taxes, tax certificates, and any CDD assessment appearing on the tax bill.
