The original report on the abandoned St. Pete house — and why Alex says local buyers who know their neighborhoods beat the national competitors.

“After interviewing several realtors and cash buyers, I chose Alex with 131 Cash Home Buyers. Homes in my neighborhood were taking 97 days on average to get an offer. Alex closed in 27 days. He also brought me chocolate covered strawberries on closing day, which was lovely. Overall, I saved $42,000 in realtor commission by accepting Alex's offer.”
“Alex did the impossible for me. Decades ago, my late ex wife took our son and started a new life in America. Despite many tries to contact them over the years, I received no response, and had no family in America to help. In late 2025, Alex found me through a private investigator, and notified me of my ex wife and son's passing. It was horrible news, but looking back, it was the start of receiving closure. It shocked me when Alex told me I was the next of kin for their homes they left behind. There were a lot of emotions, but after months of thought and processing, I sold the homes to Alex. If not for him, I would have never known about this situation, and would still be wondering. Alex visited my son's grave for me, took pictures, and gave me the coordinates. I am grateful that there are kind humans in the world like Alex.”
“After my mother passed away, we had realtors calling non stop to list the house for sale. It was bothersome and their timing was insensitive. Alex came up as the first button when we searched online for a home buyer. He was a pleasant and professional young man. He sat with us in the living room for two hours, as I reminisced about my Mom. Most importantly, he listened. He saw me cry, and consoled me. He was the only investor who actually cared, during a very tough time for our family. We recommend him to anyone who has lost a loved one, and has a home to sell.”
