SW Cape & Cape Harbour
Gulf-access canal homes popular with European and Canadian second-home owners.
If you're a foreign owner selling property in Cape Coral, FIRPTA Solutions prepares your ITIN, files your Form 8288-B withholding certificate, and recovers your refund — coordinating directly with your local title company and closing attorney so the 15% IRS withholding reflects real tax owed, not the gross sale price.
When a foreign person sells U.S. real estate, the buyer must generally withhold 15% of the gross sale price for the IRS at closing. FIRPTA Solutions manages the full process for Cape Coral sellers — ITIN, Form 8288-B withholding certificate, and the non-resident return that recovers any overpayment.
We handle every step: ITIN applications · withholding certificates · FIRPTA remittance · hard case resolution.

Tell us about your Cape Coral sale and we'll map your FIRPTA path — ITIN, 8288-B withholding certificate, and refund — before closing.
Cape Coral is home — FIRPTA Solutions has operated from here since 2015, and Eli personally handles the FIRPTA closings for the city's large German, British, and Canadian second-home community along the canals. As an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent, he prepares ITIN applications and Form 8288-B withholding certificates in-house, so waterfront sellers aren't handed off to a call center for the most important filing of their sale.
