Two honest ways to sell, one straight answer on which is right for you. I'm Troy Boss with LIFESTYLE International Realty in Clermont. Most agents give you one option. I'll hand you a guaranteed cash offer through my Cash Offer program and a top-dollar listing plan, show you what you'd net under each, and tell you the truth about which one wins for your situation — even when it's not the easier close for me.

Path 1: A Guaranteed Cash Offer on Your Clermont House

For sellers who value speed and certainty. Here's how it works:

  1. I submit your home. A short conversation and a walk-through — no listing, no photos, no sign in the yard.
  2. You receive a real cash offer. In writing, from a verified buyer, with no financing to fall through.
  3. You pick the closing date. Days or weeks, whatever your move needs. No showings. No repairs. Sell as-is.

Who it's right for: relocation deadlines · an inherited or vacant house · tenants or repairs you'd rather not deal with · a divorce or estate that needs a clean, fast close · anyone who values a sure thing over the last dollar.

The honest tradeoff: a cash offer typically nets less than a strong traditional sale, and may carry service fees. That's the price of speed and certainty. For the right situation it's absolutely worth it. For others, listing nets more — and I'll tell you which is which.

Path 2: List It and Sell for the Most Money

If you have some time and your home shows well (or can with light prep), the open market almost always nets more. You get video-first marketing, the Facebook and Instagram engine that puts your home in front of active local buyers, the LIFESTYLE International Realty network, and a pricing strategy built to sell — not sit.

And I put my own money behind it: sold in 60 days, or my commission drops $1,000. If your home isn't under contract within 60 days of listing, I reduce my commission by $1,000 at closing. Terms in writing at listing.

Cash Offer Questions Clermont Sellers Ask Me

How do I know a cash offer isn't a scam?

Fair question — Lake County gets its share of “we buy houses” postcards. A real cash offer comes in writing, names the buyer, includes an earnest-money deposit that goes to a licensed Florida title company (never to the buyer), and gives you a clear closing date. Walk away from anyone who asks you to sign a contract before you've seen the number, pressures you to decide today, wants to “assign” your contract to someone you've never met, or asks for money up front. I'm a licensed Florida REALTOR® with LIFESTYLE International Realty; every offer I bring you runs through a real brokerage and a real title company, and you're free to have an attorney review it.

How fast can I actually close?

With a cash offer, as fast as the title work allows — often two to three weeks — or as slow as you need. You choose the date; if you need 60 days to line up your next place, that works too.

What does a cash offer cost me?

You still pay normal Florida seller closing costs (documentary stamp tax, title, prorations), and a cash offer may include a service fee — I'll show you every line before you decide. The bigger “cost” is the gap between the cash number and what a listing might bring. I'll put both numbers in front of you so you can see it in dollars, not guesses.

Do I have to make repairs or clean it out?

No. A cash offer is as-is. Leave what you don't want; the buyer handles it.

What if I get the cash offer and decide to list instead?

Then we list. Requesting a cash offer costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. Plenty of my sellers ask for the number simply to know what their floor is before going to market.

Do you only work in Clermont?

Clermont is home, and I work all of Lake County plus Groveland, Minneola, Winter Garden, and greater Orlando.
