About Us
A Local Buyer You Can Trust
We are a local real estate investment company based in South Florida that purchases properties from families and personal representatives going through probate.
We understand that inheriting a property can come with unexpected responsibilities — especially when you're managing things from out of state. That's why we make the process simple: we evaluate the property, make a fair cash offer, and handle the details so you don't have to.
Whether you need to sell quickly, want to understand what the property is worth, or just need someone local to take a look — we're here to make you a straightforward offer and help you move forward.
Understanding Probate
Why Probate Property Situations Are More Complicated Than You Think
When a loved one passes away and leaves behind real estate in Florida, the path forward is rarely straightforward. Probate introduces legal, financial, and emotional challenges that most families aren't prepared for. Here's what makes it so difficult—and why having a local partner matters.
Court Oversight & Legal Timelines
Probate in Florida requires court approval for most property decisions. Selling, renting, or even making major repairs often needs a judge's sign-off—which means delays, paperwork, and strict timelines that can catch families off guard.
Title & Ownership Complications
Inherited properties can have unclear titles, outstanding liens, unpaid taxes, or multiple heirs with competing interests. Resolving these issues takes time and expertise before any transaction can move forward.
Multiple Decision-Makers
When several family members inherit a property, everyone needs to agree on what happens next. Coordinating between siblings, spouses, and extended family—often across different states—adds layers of complexity.
Property Deterioration & Risk
Vacant properties in Florida face unique risks: humidity damage, mold, pest infestations, vandalism, and insurance lapses. Every month a property sits unattended, its value and condition can decline significantly.
Insurance & Liability Gaps
Standard homeowner's insurance often lapses when the owner passes away. Many families don't realize the property is uninsured—leaving them exposed to major financial risk from storms, liability claims, or damage.
Emotional Weight & Decision Fatigue
Probate happens during one of the hardest times in a family's life. Making financial and legal decisions about a loved one's property while grieving is overwhelming—especially from out of state.

Whether you're a personal representative, an heir, or an out-of-state family member — if you have a probate property in South Florida, we'd like to make you a fair cash offer.
What We Do
How We Buy Probate Properties
We buy inherited and probate properties in any condition. As part of our purchase process, we also address common challenges that come with vacant or estate-owned real estate.
Property Oversight & Check-Ins
When we're evaluating a property for purchase, we check on its condition and keep you informed.
- Interior and exterior property evaluations with photo documentation
- Condition reports sent directly to you so you know what we're seeing
- Identifying signs of water damage, pest activity, or security concerns
- Verifying utilities, locks, and overall property status
- Flagging any urgent issues that could affect the property's value
Why This Matters
Vacant properties in Florida deteriorate fast. When we evaluate a property for purchase, we share what we find with you — so you have a clear picture of the property's condition and can make an informed decision.
Property Preservation
We buy properties as-is, but we can also help secure a property before closing.
- Board-ups and securing entry points to prevent unauthorized access
- Clean-outs: removing personal belongings, debris, and junk
- Basic lawn care and exterior maintenance to avoid code violations
- Coordinating with licensed contractors for urgent repairs
- Mold remediation and moisture control in Florida's humid climate
Why This Matters
Every month a probate property sits neglected, it loses value. If we're purchasing the property, we may address preservation needs before closing to protect both your interests and ours.
Insurance Awareness
Something we always flag: most homeowner's policies lapse after the owner passes away.
- We flag potential insurance gaps when we evaluate a property
- Vacant properties in flood zones carry significant uninsured risk
- Standard homeowner's policies often become void after the owner's death
- We recommend consulting your attorney or an insurance professional about coverage
- Proper coverage protects the estate and heirs from unexpected liability
Why This Matters
Most people don't realize that a standard homeowner's policy often lapses or becomes void when the owner passes away. If a storm hits or someone gets injured on the property, the estate could be liable. We always flag this risk so you can address it with the right professionals.
Direct Purchase Options
We buy probate properties directly — no agents, no commissions, no delays.
- Fair, transparent cash offers based on current market conditions
- We buy properties in any condition — no repairs or clean-up needed
- Flexible closing timelines that work around the probate process
- No realtor commissions, no listing fees, no open houses
- We coordinate with your attorney and the probate court on closing
Why This Matters
Probate properties often have complications — title issues, deferred maintenance, multiple heirs. Traditional buyers may not want to deal with that. We specialize in exactly these situations and can close on your timeline, not theirs.
No Pressure, No Obligation
We're buyers, and we'll always be upfront about what we can offer. If selling to us isn't the right fit, there's no pressure and no hard feelings. We want you to feel confident in whatever decision you make.

Protecting Your Property During Hurricane Season
Florida's hurricane season runs from June through November, and vacant probate properties are especially vulnerable. Without someone on the ground, a single storm can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage—water intrusion, roof damage, fallen trees, flooding, and mold that sets in within 24 to 48 hours.
We provide comprehensive storm preparation and monitoring for probate properties, so you don't have to worry about what's happening to the house while you're managing the estate from out of state.
Did You Know?
Most standard homeowner's insurance policies lapse after the owner passes away. If a hurricane hits an uninsured vacant property, the estate—and the heirs—could be responsible for the full cost of repairs. We help identify and close these coverage gaps before storm season.

Sell Your House Directly to Us—No Agents, No Commissions

We buy properties directly from estates and personal representatives. No listing, no open houses, no real estate commissions. Just a fair cash offer and a closing timeline that works around the probate process.
Traditional Sale
- 5–6% agent commissions
- 3–6 months on market

- Buy as-is, no repairs needed
- Cash offer, no financing risk
Need Cash Now? We Offer Advances on Your Property
Probate can take months—sometimes over a year—to resolve. During that time, estate expenses pile up: property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, and attorney fees. We understand that waiting for the estate to close isn't always an option.
That's why we offer cash advances to personal representatives and heirs. Get the funds you need now to cover estate expenses, avoid foreclosure, or simply ease the financial burden—while we work together on the best long-term outcome for the property.
Quick Funding
Get cash in days, not months—don't wait for probate to close
Cover Expenses
Use funds for taxes, insurance, repairs, attorney fees, or mortgage payments
No Pressure
Advances are part of our partnership—we work together toward the best outcome
Co-Owners Can't Agree? We Can Help.
When multiple people inherit a property and can't agree on what to do, it can lead to a partition action—a costly court process that forces the sale of the property, often at auction for well below market value.
We offer a better path. Instead of going to court, we can buy out one or more heir shares directly, giving each co-owner a fair cash payment for their interest—without attorneys, without auction, and without the family conflict that comes with litigation.
Court Partition
- 6–18 months in court
- $10,000–$50,000+ in legal fees
- Property sold at auction
- Often 20–40% below market value
Our Approach
- Close in 2–4 weeks
- No legal fees for you
- Fair cash offer for your share
- No court, no auction, no conflict

The Person Behind the Company
Meet Robert Sinofsky
Licensed Pilot
Discipline & Precision
I'm Robert Sinofsky, the founder of FL Probate Buyer and its sister company, FL House Buyer. Before I found my calling in real estate, I spent years as a pilot—an experience that taught me discipline, attention to detail, and the importance of staying calm under pressure.
Those same qualities drive how I approach real estate today. When families come to me during one of the most difficult times in their lives—navigating probate, managing an inherited property from out of state, or facing a situation they never expected—I bring the same level of focus and care that was required in the cockpit.
Real estate isn't just a business for me—it's a genuine passion. I love the problem-solving aspect of it: finding creative solutions for complicated situations, helping families see options they didn't know existed, and making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Every property has a story, and every family deserves someone who will listen, understand their situation, and make a fair offer \u2014 without pressure. That's the standard I hold myself to with every family I work with.
Family & Purpose
More Than a Business—It's Personal
Outside of real estate, my world revolves around my family—especially my son. He's on the autism spectrum, and being his dad has given me a deeper understanding of patience, empathy, and meeting people where they are.
That perspective shapes everything I do professionally. I know what it's like to navigate complex situations that don't have simple answers. I know what it means to need someone in your corner who genuinely cares about the outcome—not just the transaction.
When you work with me, you're not working with a faceless company. You're working with someone who understands that behind every property is a family, and behind every decision is a person who deserves honesty, respect, and real support.
Our Approach
Not Every Situation Requires the Same Solution
We're not like traditional investors who just want a quick deal at the lowest price.
We take the time to understand your situation, evaluate the property thoroughly, and make a fair offer that reflects its true value.
We're upfront about what we can offer and why. If selling to us makes sense, great. If not, there's no pressure \u2014 we want you to feel confident in your decision.
