A small city in the middle of the I-4 corridor
Auburndale's location is its selling point. It is a short drive from both Lakeland and Winter Haven and within commuting range of Tampa and Orlando. Warehouses and distribution centers have gone up along the corridor, and new subdivisions have filled in around town. That also means many owners here are working households who move for jobs, and a sale sometimes has to line up with a start date in another city.
You set the closing date. If you need to close before a move, or you need to stay in the house a while longer, the contract can say so.
Houses on Lake Ariana
Lake Ariana is Auburndale's best-known lake, and the homes along it range from modest older houses to larger waterfront builds. Several smaller lakes sit inside and around the city as well. Lakefront owners deal with shoreline upkeep, docks, and flood zone questions that inland owners never think about. If your lake house needs work, or the dock is past saving, we can make an offer without any repairs.
Citrus-era homes near downtown
Auburndale grew up around citrus, and the streets near downtown still have wood-frame houses from the early 1900s and block homes from the 1950s through the 1970s. Many are small two- and three-bedroom houses that have spent years as rentals. Their typical needs are a roof, plumbing, an updated electrical panel, termite repair, and a kitchen that has not changed in decades.
Wood-frame houses from the early years deserve a closer look underneath. Many sit on piers with a crawl space, where termites, moisture, and sagging floor joists can go unnoticed for years. A buyer's inspector will find them. We would rather hear about them from you, and we price them in.
Landlords ready to stop
Small homes like these make up a lot of Auburndale's rentals, and many owners have held them for a long time. If you are tired of repairs between tenants, chasing late rent, or managing from a distance, you can sell with the tenant still in the house. Bring the lease and the rent ledger, and we will make an offer that accounts for the occupancy.
- Tenants on a lease or month-to-month can stay through closing
- A tenant who is behind on rent does not end the conversation
- Security deposits are accounted for at closing
- Several rentals can be sold together in one transaction
