STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Fort Lauderdale sellers ask us

How fast can I sell my house for cash in Fort Lauderdale?

A cash sale typically closes in 7 to 21 days at a licensed Florida title company. You pick the closing date, anywhere from 7 days out to 90 days out if you need time to move.

Do you buy Fort Lauderdale condos with special assessments?

Yes. Florida's post-Surfside condo laws now require milestone inspections and fully funded reserves, and many Fort Lauderdale condo owners are facing large special assessments. We buy condos as-is, including units with pending assessments, and price the assessment into our offer fairly.

Do you buy houses in Fort Lauderdale flood zones?

Yes. Parts of Fort Lauderdale sit in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, and we buy in flood zones without blinking. Flood-zone insurance costs and the city's substantial-improvement rules are priced into our offer fairly, and you stop paying the premiums the day we close.

Do you buy houses with code violations or open permits in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. We buy Fort Lauderdale houses as-is, including homes with code violations, open permits, tax liens, and HOA issues. We handle code violations and open permits ourselves after closing, you don't have to fix a thing.

How much below market value do cash home buyers pay?

Our offer is the home's after-repair value minus repair costs, holding and selling costs, and our margin, and we show you that math. Compare net proceeds, not gross price: a listing costs 2–3% in commissions plus closing costs, repair bills, and months of mortgage, tax, and insurance payments while you wait.

Can I sell an inherited house in Fort Lauderdale during probate?

Yes. We buy inherited homes and work around probate timelines. We coordinate with the personal representative and heirs, and can close once authority to sell is established. You don't need to clean anything out.

What areas of Fort Lauderdale do you buy houses in?

All of Fort Lauderdale, including Victoria Park, Coral Ridge, Wilton Manors, Lauderdale Beach, Sailboat Bend, and the neighborhoods west of I-95.

Is selling my house for cash legitimate? How do I avoid scams?

Legitimate cash buyers provide proof of funds, close at a licensed title company, and never pressure you. Red flags: no proof of funds, high-pressure tactics, or a buyer who plans to assign your contract without telling you. We disclose up front, in writing, before you sign, that we're a real estate investment buyer and may assign the contract.

Who pays closing costs when I sell my house for cash?

We do. When you sell to us there are zero commissions and zero closing costs to you, you keep 100% of the offer amount.

WHERE WE BUY IN FORT LAUDERDALE

Every corner of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale runs from the beaches and the Intracoastal to established neighborhoods west of I-95, with everything from 1920s cottages to canal-front estates. We buy houses and condos across the city, in any condition.

Victoria Park & Coral Ridge

Tree-lined streets of ranch homes and estates near the Intracoastal. Many date to the 1950s and 60s and need updating that the retail market underprices. That is our lane.

Wilton Manors & Oakland Park

Duplexes, small apartment buildings, and rentals along the Drive and Dixie Highway. Tired landlords and estate sales are common here, and we buy with tenants in place.

Lauderdale Beach & Galt Ocean Mile

Beach condos and cottages along A1A. Florida's condo inspection and reserve laws are bringing large special assessments, and we buy units as-is, assessments and all.

Sailboat Bend & Downtown

Some of the city's oldest homes sit around the New River. Older plumbing, older wiring, and additions of mixed pedigree: the stuff that kills retail deals doesn't kill ours.

SITUATIONS WE HANDLE

Fort Lauderdale houses in any condition

The situations below are most of what we buy. If yours isn't listed, call us anyway, if we can't help, we'll tell you who can.

Condo special assessments
Florida's condo safety laws mean milestone inspections and fully funded reserves. If your Fort Lauderdale building just levied a five-figure assessment, we can buy the unit as-is.
Facing foreclosure
Broward's foreclosure process moves through the Clerk of Courts, we can often close before the auction date if there's still time.
Inherited / probate
We work around probate timelines and coordinate with heirs and personal representatives. No cleanout needed.
Code violations & open permits
Liens, fines, unpermitted work, we take the violations with the house and handle them ourselves after closing.
Storm & water damage
Decades of tropical weather left their mark on Fort Lauderdale roofs. We buy as-is, tarps and all, flood zone or not.
Tired landlords
Bad tenants, constant repairs, rent headaches. Sell with tenants in place, no evictions needed.
FORT LAUDERDALE REALITIES WE DEAL WITH

Local issues that make owners sell, and how we handle them

The condo assessment crunch

After Surfside, Florida requires condos to complete milestone structural inspections and fully fund reserves, associations can no longer waive them. Many Fort Lauderdale buildings from the 60s–80s are now passing five-figure special assessments to owners. If your assessment just landed and you want out, we buy the unit as-is and price it in fairly.

Flood zones & the 50% rule

Large parts of Fort Lauderdale sit in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, and the city's floodplain rules mean any repair or remodel costing 50%+ of the structure's value triggers full code-compliance upgrades. For older beachside homes, that's often a deal-killer on the open market. It isn't for us.

Aging homes & storm history

Fort Lauderdale's housing stock runs from 1920s downtown bungalows to mid-century ranch homes, a lot of roofs, wiring, and plumbing at end-of-life after Wilma, Irma, and every storm since. A $15k–$30k roof kills most retail deals. It doesn't kill ours.

The part other cash buyers don't put on their site

When you sell to us, you're selling directly to a real estate investment buyer, not listing through a brokerage. Our founder is a licensed Florida real estate agent, but in this deal we're the buyer, not your agent. We're not acting as your representative or in a fiduciary role for you: we're purchasing for our own account, and we intend to profit by improving, reselling, or assigning the property. You are always free to hire your own real estate agent or attorney, and we encourage you to compare our offer against a traditional listing before signing anything.
