Kirby Family Properties is a local Tampa-based buyer. You'll talk to Jed Kirby directly, not a call center or a remote investor wholesaling your contract. We close in as few as 7 days, on your schedule, with no fees.
Why Tampa sellers come to us
Tampa has changed dramatically over the past decade. South Tampa and Seminole Heights have boomed, while older neighborhoods like Sulphur Springs and East Tampa still have plenty of deferred-maintenance homes that aren't a fit for traditional buyers. We buy across the spectrum: a 1920s bungalow in Tampa Heights with a leaking roof, a 1970s tract home in Town 'N Country with a tenant in place, a probate property in Hyde Park that's been sitting since the owner passed two years ago. Tampa's competitive market is great if your home is move-in ready and you have time. If it isn't, or you don't, a direct cash sale skips the listing process, the showings, and the financing fall-throughs.

Most closings happen in 7 to 21 days. If the title is clean and there's no probate or litigation in the way, we can close in as few as 7 days. Probate sales depend on the court.

Any condition. We buy code-violation properties, hoarder houses, fire-damaged homes, properties with tenants who won't allow showings, and houses that haven't been touched in decades. We don't ask you to clean, repair, or do anything before closing.

No. We close as the buyer with our own capital. No assignments, no last-minute renegotiations.
