Free guides and tools cover the Florida tax deed process, a new 2026 probate change, code-enforcement liens and how to vet any cash buyer

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — October 16, 2026 — Tampete Homes LLC, a St. Petersburg cash home buyer, now operates publicly as HomeSellerCashOffer, the company’s registered Florida fictitious name. The company serves homeowners in Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco counties from its office at 433 Central Ave in downtown St. Petersburg. Its website, homesellercashoffer.com, now hosts free guides for owners facing property-tax, probate and code-enforcement problems.

The guides are written by owner AL Cakici. They link the Florida Statutes and county Clerk and Tax Collector pages they rely on, so readers can check every step themselves. They include:

• A tax deed timeline tool that counts the Florida dates for any tax year, from delinquency on April 1 to a possible auction.
• County guides for owners behind on property taxes in Pinellas and Hillsborough, including how redemption works under Florida Statutes §197.472.
• An inherited-house guide that reflects Florida’s July 1, 2026 change raising the summary-administration limit from $75,000 to $150,000 (Laws of Florida ch. 2026-57).
• A code-lien guide explaining how unpaid code-enforcement fines become liens under Florida Statutes Chapter 162, and how a sale settles them.
• A nine-point checklist for vetting any cash home buyer, including HomeSellerCashOffer itself, with public-record searches anyone can run in about 15 minutes.

“Most of the families who call me had more options six months before they called,” said AL Cakici, owner of HomeSellerCashOffer. “These guides are the answers I give on the phone every day, written down with the sources attached. If listing with an agent or redeeming the taxes is the better move, they say so.”

HomeSellerCashOffer buys houses directly, for its own account, and closes through a licensed Florida title company. It is not a real estate agent or broker and does not give legal advice. Sellers can check the company’s public records — Florida LLC document L25000252906 and fictitious name G26000015982 — on Sunbiz.
