Our ratings & analysis
Overall score
#114 of 180 similar
FL Home Buyers has a mixed overall score. Its lifetime average is 4.5 stars across only 16 ratings. There isn’t enough feedback to assess how consistently the company performs. Its strong business credentials include BBB accreditation with an A rating. We have no reviews from the past 6 months, leaving less insight into current customer experience. That doesn’t establish that the company has stopped buying homes.

Customer experience
Bottom 50% in FL
FL Home Buyers has a generally positive customer experience profile. Most lifetime ratings were five-star, while 2 low ratings reduced the lifetime average. The latest 12 months contained 3 5-star ratings. No new ratings appeared in the latest 6 months. Its Customer Experience score of 77/100 places it near the middle of comparable cash buyers serving multiple markets.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was mostly positive: 16 rated reviews averaged 4.5/5, with 14 five-star ratings and 2 one-star ratings. Reviews dated back to 2023. Our methodology adjusts small rating samples toward the typical company rating, then maps the adjusted rating to a score and applies a small review-depth deduction that decreases as the record grows. Volume credit grows with every rating, with an additional small adjustment that grows fastest over the first few hundred ratings and then slows. It strengthens the distance from the neutral, sample-adjusted 4.5-star signal; this record received a 0.08% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.01 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit. The confidence limit also constrained the score.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 3 5-star ratings, through November 1, 2026. No ratings appeared over the latest 6 and 3 months.
Rating trends. Ratings improved. The 12-month average rose from 4.50 lifetime to 5.00 — up 0.50 stars, or 11.1%. The five-star share rose from 87.5% to 100.0%, up 12.5 percentage points. The recent sample contained just 3 five-star ratings. It was too small to establish a lasting improvement. The gap in new ratings prevented a more current trend assessment.
Common themes. Knowledge and capability led the feedback, appearing in 5 of 10 detailed customer reviews (50%), followed by a smooth process in 5 (50%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 12 of 16 reviews (75%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 1 concerned business partners. We excluded 1 duplicate entry and 2 reviews with too little text from sentiment analysis. All 16 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.
Recent activity
Bottom 50% in FL
Company activity · As of November 1, 2026 — our latest collection date.
FL Home Buyers has documented business activity, but its recent review record is quiet. Its records include a company information submission. The main limit is the absence of new reviews over the past 6 months. Its Activity score of 52/100 ranks #102 of 151 comparable cash buyers with similar market coverage.
Recent review volume. The recent review record is quiet, with no new reviews over the latest 6 months. We counted 3 reviews over 12 months, 0 over 6 months and 0 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 4, 1.5, and 0, respectively.
Recent review pace. No new reviews appeared over the latest 6 months, so we leave its pace classification unassessed. Its 6- and 3-month rates were 0× its lifetime average pace, compared with 0.7× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0 reviews per month over 6 months, 0 over 3 months and 0.3 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.4. The record contains 16 reviews dating back to 2023.
Review freshness. The review record lacks recent feedback. Its latest review on file was January 18, 2026 — about 9 months old as of our last data refresh. No reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 2 years.
Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file. The company submitted business information on June 10, 2026.
Credibility signals
Top 25% in FL
FL Home Buyers has a very strong credibility profile (#21 of 180 in FL). We identified the company’s leadership, business structure, and buying model. Retained company information reports a 2015 start. A separate retained website company-start claim gives 2014. The main limits on its score were 3 years of documented review history and website depth and transparency. We found no specific legitimacy concerns or review-integrity red flags in the retained source material, so there were no deductions.
Verification. We identified Google and BBB profiles. The BBB records we reviewed list accreditation since 2020. They list an A rating. Its Google Business Profile was verified. FL Home Buyers has not claimed its directory profile or completed enhanced screening with our team.
Website assessment. The website was accessible when checked on September 29, 2026. The website scored 95/100 for depth and transparency. It includes company background, team information, buying and service information, the process and terms, and customer testimonials or work examples.
Business details. We identified Max Cohen as the company’s owner and founder. BBB lists the business as an LLC. We could not confirm its primary buying model. The business information we reviewed describes direct buying. The company records we reviewed list FL Home Buyers LLC as an alternate business name.
Track record. Retained company information reports a 2015 start. A separate retained website company-start claim gives 2014. BBB lists May 15, 2019 as its business-start date, May 15, 2019 as its incorporation date, and September 4, 2020 as its profile-opening date. The reported start dates differ across sources. We did not treat that discrepancy as a red flag. Reviews on file date back to April 12, 2023. Reviews appear in 12 of the 44 months covered by our records. Review activity is intermittent.
Complaints and red flags. No specific legitimacy concerns or review-integrity red flags were identified in the retained source material.

How we researched and scored this company
Methodology
We research each company using its website, business profiles, and third-party customer reviews. We use company sources to understand its services and terms, and distinguish those claims from independent evidence. When available, we also draw on interviews with company representatives and sellers, and relevant public records.
When there is enough evidence, we calculate an overall score out of 100 using 3 categories:
- Customer experience (67.5%) reflects customer satisfaction, based primarily on average customer ratings and the number of reviews supporting them.
- Recent activity (20%) reflects recent review volume, how recently the company received a review, and how its recent review pace compares with its history. Reviews are a signal of activity, not a count of completed home purchases.
- Credibility (12.5%) considers business verification, website transparency, public engagement, and documented operating history.
Use the company or location identified on this page when interpreting the evidence. A broader company record may not describe every local office. Review history is separate from the company’s founding date.
Limited evidence can restrict what we can assess. A company may appear without a score, and a small review sample may not represent a typical seller’s experience. Scores summarize the evidence available to us; they do not predict an offer price or guarantee a sale or service quality.
