Condos on Clearwater Beach and Sand Key

Clearwater Beach and the Clearwater end of Sand Key are lined with condo buildings, many of them decades old. These buildings fall under Florida's post-Surfside rules, so associations have had to order milestone inspections and structural reserve studies. Where the reports found problems, owners have seen higher dues and special assessments.

Helene added to the strain. Its surge flooded streets and ground floors across Clearwater Beach, and storm repairs that insurance doesn't fully cover usually come back to owners as another assessment.

We buy units in these buildings as-is. We read the inspection reports, the reserve study, and the assessment schedule, and the offer reflects what the building actually owes.

Island Estates canal homes

Island Estates, off the Memorial Causeway, is a neighborhood of canal-front homes with docks and seawalls. It sits low, like most waterfront property in the city, so a buyer's lender will require flood insurance, and a seawall near the end of its life can be one of the most expensive repairs a homeowner faces. We evaluate the seawall, dock, and any flood history along with the house, and you don't need to fix any of them first.

Harbor Oaks and the bluff

South of downtown, Harbor Oaks is one of Clearwater's oldest residential neighborhoods, with homes from the 1910s and 1920s on the bluff above Clearwater Harbor. The higher ground helps with flooding, but age brings its own list: old wiring and plumbing, wood framing with termite damage, plaster walls, and renovations done long before current codes. These homes often need a buyer willing to take on a full restoration.

Countryside and northeast Clearwater

Countryside, in the northeast part of the city, was built mostly in the 1970s and 1980s around golf courses and the mall. Many homes there are on their second roof or older, with aging air conditioning, original windows, and pools that need resurfacing. Most subdivisions have homeowners associations with their own rules and estoppel fees.

Countryside owners often sell because they're relocating or downsizing and don't want to update the house first. We buy it with the dated kitchen and the worn pool deck, and we request the association paperwork early so the HOA doesn't slow the closing.
