Fort Myers. Cape Coral. Lehigh Acres. Bonita Springs. We buy directly from owners across Lee County — homes, lots, and canal properties in any condition.
Lee County is Southwest Florida's most populous county, home to over 619,000 residents across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, and the communities stretching south toward Bonita Springs and Estero. It's also a market still working through the aftermath of Hurricane Ian — the Category 4 storm that made direct landfall in September 2022 and caused an estimated $112 billion in damage across the region.
Three years later, many Lee County property owners are still navigating the consequences. Unresolved storm damage, insurance non-renewals, and premium increases that have made carrying costs untenable are driving a persistent stream of motivated sellers — particularly on the barrier islands, in Cape Coral's canal grid, and throughout Lehigh Acres, where lower home values make the cost of compliance and repair often exceed the property's worth. Listings are sitting longer and prices remain roughly 7–8% below pre-Ian levels in the hardest-hit areas.
Cape Coral's canal system — the largest in the world — creates a unique inventory dynamic: thousands of waterfront lots that were purchased speculatively or for vacation use are now owned by absentee holders who have no near-term plan to build. Lehigh Acres, a sprawling planned community with a historically high concentration of distressed inventory, continues to generate motivated sellers who need to move properties that the traditional market struggles to absorb quickly.
Hurricane Ian's impact on Lee County was unlike anything in recent Florida history. If your property has unresolved damage — structural, roof, water intrusion — and you've been unable or unwilling to undertake the repair, we buy as-is. The damage is factored into our offer, but it doesn't stop the sale.
Selling as-is: what it actually means →Dozens of insurers have pulled out of Florida since 2022. Premium increases of 40–100%+ have made some Lee County properties financially unsustainable for owners on fixed incomes or who carry mortgages. If your insurance situation is driving the decision to sell, we understand — it's one of the most common reasons people contact us in this market.
Tell us about your situation →Lee County has tens of thousands of vacant lots — particularly in Cape Coral's canal grid and throughout Lehigh Acres. If you've been holding a lot and paying taxes for years with no plan to build, a direct sale is often faster and simpler than listing with an agent, who typically puts less effort into vacant land listings.

Yes, though open claims require some coordination. If there's an active insurance claim on the property, the claim typically transfers with ownership or needs to be resolved at closing. We've navigated this before. The key is disclosing the situation upfront so we can structure the offer and closing correctly. Don't let an open claim stop you from reaching out — it's a solvable problem in most cases.
Canal lot pricing in Cape Coral depends heavily on water access type (freshwater vs. saltwater), proximity to open water, lot dimensions, and whether seawalls are in place. Saltwater lots with direct Gulf access command significant premiums. We pull recent comparable sales from the MLS and county records, look at current active listings, and factor in market conditions. We can typically give you a number within 24 hours of your inquiry.
At closing, the mortgage gets paid off from the sale proceeds — the title company handles it. You receive whatever is left after the payoff plus closing costs. If you owe more than the property is worth, that's a different situation — reach out and we can talk through what options exist, including whether a short sale is worth exploring.
We evaluate barrier island and coastal properties case by case. Insurance costs, flood zone designations, and access logistics all factor into our underwriting. We won't automatically decline based on location — reach out with the address and we'll give you a straight answer about whether we can make an offer.
