Our previous home, not in Florida, was fairly priced, we sold it for full asking price and a cash deal. The sale, THE CONTRACT SAID AS IS. There was nothing wrong with the house but I was not willing to be on the hook for years and out of state. I seem to recall in NY you if, you sold it as is need to surrender $500 to the buyer. That is what most everyone does.
I don't think that selling a house "as is" is the normal procedure in Florida, or other places I have lived. Most buyers would not agree to an "as is" sale, except maybe in a very hot market.
