Inherited a House in North Florida?
You didn't ask for this — and we understand that.
Inheriting property should feel like a gift. Sometimes it does. But a lot of the time — especially here in North Florida, where families have deep roots and property gets passed down across generations — it feels more like a burden dropped in your lap at the worst possible moment.
Maybe you're dealing with grief. Maybe you're three states away and can't get down here to deal with a house that's been sitting empty since your mom passed. Maybe there are siblings involved and everyone has a different opinion about what to do. Maybe the property has been in the family for 40 years and it hasn't been touched in 10 — and now it needs a new roof, the AC hasn't worked since 2018, and there's a lien on it you didn't even know about.
We've seen all of it. And we're here to help you sort through it without judgment.
Who We Are and Why It Matters:
We're ProActive Investments Inc. Quinn and Cyndi Skierski have been buying property across North Florida for more than 20 years. Quinn's family has called Suwannee County home for eight generations. That means when we sit across the table from you, we're not strangers looking at a deal — we're neighbors who understand what it means to have deep roots in these communities.
We've helped families settle inherited properties in Suwannee County, Columbia County, Hamilton County, Dixie County, Madison County, and Lafayette County. Old farmhouses outside of Jasper that haven't been lived in for years. Mobile homes in rural Lafayette County. Land parcels outside of Live Oak. Family homes in Lake City. Multi-acre tracts that have been in the same family since the 1940s. We know how to work through the layers — emotional, financial, and legal — to get families to the other side.
What We Actually Do:
We'll walk through the property with you — or do a virtual walkthrough if you're out of state.
We'll give you a clear, written offer. No pressure, no deadline, no obligation.
If probate is involved, we can explain what that process looks like in Florida and work around your timeline.
If there are multiple heirs, we're used to that. We've worked through family agreements before and we know how to keep things moving without adding to the conflict.
We buy completely as-is. That means no repairs, no cleaning, no updates — not a single thing. If there's furniture, appliances, or belongings left behind, we handle that too.
We can close fast if you need us to — or slow down if the family needs more time to work through decisions.
The Honest Reality:
Inherited properties in North Florida often come with back taxes, deferred maintenance, and title complications. That doesn't scare us off. We've purchased properties with years of unpaid taxes, foundation issues, overgrown lots, and title gaps that needed clearing. We work with local title companies and real estate attorneys to make sure the closing is clean and everyone gets paid correctly.
If your inherited property has been sitting so long it looks like it belongs on a nature show, that's okay. We've bought them. If it needs $80,000 in work, that's okay too. We factor condition into our offer, we're transparent about how we get there, and we don't waste your time.

FAQ:
Do I need to go through probate before I can sell?
Not always — it depends on how the property was titled and whether there's a will. We know that probate can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already dealing with loss and don't know where to start. That's why we don't just hand you a phone number and wish you luck. We walk alongside you, help you understand what's actually required in Florida, and connect you with our trusted team of local professionals who can guide the process — so you're never navigating it alone or out of pocket before you're ready.
What if there are multiple heirs and we don't all agree?
This is more common than you'd think. We've navigated family disagreements before. All heirs typically need to agree to a sale, but we can work patiently with your family — and your attorney — to reach a resolution that works for everyone.
What if the property has back taxes or liens?
That's very common with inherited properties. Back taxes, code violations, and liens get paid at closing — directly from the sale proceeds. You don't have to come out of pocket. We handle it.
How long does the process take?
If everything is clean — no probate, no title issues, all heirs on board — we can close in as few as 14 days. If there are complications, it may take longer. We'll be honest with you about the timeline from the start.
What if the property is in really bad shape?
We buy as-is, no exceptions. We've purchased properties with structural problems, major roof damage, mold, fire damage, and years of deferred maintenance. Condition affects the offer, but it never disqualifies a property.
Do you only buy houses?
No. We buy houses, mobile homes, land, and multi-acre parcels. If your family inherited a piece of North Florida — whatever form it's in — call us.
