The Problem With Selling From Out of Town
Jacksonville is one of Northeast Florida's biggest military and corporate relocation markets. Naval Station Mayport, NAS Jacksonville, and major employers like FIS, Florida Blue, and Baptist Health regularly move employees in and out. When the orders come or the new job starts, you rarely get the luxury of a 3-4 month traditional sale process.
Listing with an agent means finding a Jacksonville-based agent remotely, coordinating repairs and staging sight-unseen, approving showing schedules across time zones, and trusting that the process is handled while you're settling into a new city. If anything goes wrong — buyer financing falls through, inspection reveals an issue, appraisal comes in low — you're solving problems remotely on a house you've mentally moved on from.
Meanwhile, every month the house sits unsold, you're carrying the Jacksonville mortgage alongside your new housing costs. In Duval County, the average homeowner's monthly carrying cost (mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA if applicable) runs $1,400-$2,800. Two months of that while waiting for a traditional sale to close is $2,800-$5,600 out of pocket — often more than any difference between our cash offer and a retail listing price.
Jacksonville's sheer size compounds the problem. At 874 square miles, Duval County is the largest city by land area in the contiguous U.S. — your Westside bungalow and a Southside townhouse might be 40 minutes apart. Managing showing logistics, contractor visits, and property checks across that sprawl from another state is a logistical headache that most out-of-town sellers underestimate until they're deep into a listing that's dragging.
How a Cash Sale Fits Your Relocation Timeline
Military families at NAS Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport know this drill — PCS orders come with a report date, not a "whenever your house sells" date. Corporate relocations are similar: start dates are firm. A cash sale lets you close before you leave Jacksonville, or within days of leaving.
We can walk through your home once (or evaluate it from detailed photos if you've already moved), make an offer within 24 hours, and close in as little as 7 days. You don't need to coordinate showings, keep the house spotless, or fly back for closing — most of our out-of-town closings are handled via mobile notary or power of attorney.
Leave whatever you don't want to move. Furniture, appliances, garage items, that treadmill nobody uses — we handle the cleanout after closing. That saves you thousands in moving costs and the headache of dealing with it remotely. Get your free cash offer before your move date.

Jacksonville Neighborhoods We Buy In
We buy homes across all of Duval County and the surrounding Jacksonville metro — from Riverside bungalows and Arlington ranch homes to Southside townhouses and Westside starter homes. We're also active in the Beaches communities (Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach) and the Northside. Property condition, age, and style don't matter. If it's in the Jacksonville metro, we'll make an offer.
Market timing is another risk relocating sellers face. Jacksonville's real estate market has seasonal patterns — listings tend to move fastest between March and June, while homes listed in November through January sit longer. If your relocation doesn't align with peak selling season, a traditional listing could take even longer than the 52-day average. A cash sale removes seasonal risk entirely because we're buying based on current value, not waiting for the right buyer to walk through the door.
Whether you bought in San Marco at the peak and need to sell quickly, or you have a rental property on the Westside that you don't want to manage from out of state, we can help. If your property also needs repairs, check out our as-is buying page for more details on how we handle homes in any condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Many of our sellers have already relocated when they reach out to us. We can evaluate the property from a previous visit, photos, or a quick walkthrough by our team. Closing can be done remotely via mobile notary, FedEx document signing, or power of attorney. You don't need to come back to Jacksonville.
We understand PCS timelines. We can close in as fast as 7 days — well within most PCS windows. We also work with military relocation assistance programs and can coordinate with your command's housing office if needed. We've helped many military families at NAS Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport.
Some corporate relocation packages include a home buyout program or guaranteed purchase option. If yours does, great — use it. If it doesn't, or if the offered price is below market, get our cash offer for comparison. Having a backup offer gives you leverage and options.
That's common — especially with military PCS orders that get amended or corporate start dates that shift. We can make you an offer now and hold it while your timeline firms up. Our offers are typically valid for 30 days, and we can often extend if your situation requires it. Once you have a firm date, we can close in as few as 7 days. There's no cost to getting an offer early, and it gives you one less thing to figure out when the move date locks in.
