Talk to HBS directly.
We are cash home buyers. You are asking us about buying your house, with no need to prepare a listing, host open houses, or wait for a buyer’s mortgage approval.
About us
We buy houses. We keep the conversation personal.
House Buying Solutions buys houses directly for cash across Florida. Our home base is Tampa Bay: Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Hernando counties. We work with owners who want to sell as is and move on without repairing, staging, or showing the house.
200+homes bought
100+renovations completed
4.5+star seller reviews
Across House Buying Solutions, our team has bought 200+ homes, completed 100+ renovations, and holds 4.5+ star reviews from the sellers we have worked with. That experience is what lets us look at a house as it sits and put a real number in writing.
The process is simple. Tell us about the house, review the cash offer if the property is a fit, and choose whether the speed and convenience make sense for you. Asking for an offer never obligates you to sell.
Start with the house as it sits today
We buy directly rather than listing the property for you. Tell us about repairs, cleanup, tenants, or belongings before you spend money preparing for showings. Every purchase still depends on a signed agreement, property access, and clear title.
Where to ask about an offer
We buy across Florida. Our local guides cover Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, New Port Richey, Holiday, Hudson, Spring Hill, Lakeland, Sarasota, and nearby communities. See 40+ communities →
Meet the founder
Jake Arnold has been buying houses since he was 18.
He has been at it for 11 years and has bought houses in Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.
Jake founded House Buying Solutions. Over those years he has worked with sellers in very different situations, from inherited houses in rough shape to families going through a hard time. The approach stays the same: look at the house as it sits, explain the offer in writing, and let the owner decide.

“From start to finish, Jake made the entire process smooth, honest, and stress-free. He was always upfront, easy to talk to, and very flexible with our timeline, which made a big difference for us.”
“Jake was a pleasure to sell my home with. He walked me through the process. I inherited the home and it was in a bad shape. Jake was always there for me. He answered all my questions and was always friendly, respectful and professional.”
“My mom was in a really difficult situation after losing her husband… From the very first meeting, Thomas and Jake treated us with so much care, compassion, and understanding… They gave us a fair offer and, most importantly, they never made us feel pressured or taken advantage of during a very vulnerable time.”
“Selling our home using this company was stress free. Jake was professional, personable and easy to work with. We would highly recommend this company.”

Written property assumptions
The cash offer reflects the location, condition, repairs, occupancy, and timing we understand when we make it.
Current condition first
You can ask for an offer before repairing or cleaning. The agreement explains the condition, belongings, access, and responsibilities in writing.
Florida closing-provider path
A Florida closing provider handles title, available payoff information, signing, closing documents, and funds.
The owner keeps control
Getting an offer does not commit you to sell. Compare it with listing or another offer before deciding.
A simpler way to sell
A cash offer you can understand.
A decision you control.
Choose a straightforward sale that fits your next chapter. We buy Tampa Bay homes directly, from move-in-ready houses to homes that need work.
Look at what you keep.
Compare the written purchase price, any costs you pay, mortgage payoff, and your expected proceeds. We explain the property assumptions behind our offer before you decide.
Take it. Compare it. Decline it.
Requesting an offer is free and does not commit you to sell. Read the terms, ask questions, and compare your options. The decision stays with you.
