Buying Florida homes since 2012 · 650+ homes purchased
Fort Lauderdale is right next door to our Hollywood office, and we know exactly how stressful it can be to sell a house here when you are short on time. We buy homes directly from Fort Lauderdale owners for cash, so you never have to list, stage, or wait on a bank-financed buyer.
From waterfront properties that need costly seawall or dock repairs to inland homes that have been rented out for years, we buy in any condition. You get a straightforward cash offer, a local title company, and a closing date that works for you.
Takes 60 seconds. No obligation.
Yes. We buy Fort Lauderdale homes and condos as-is, from Sailboat Bend and Victoria Park to Coral Ridge and the isles, including homes with code liens, open permits or unapproved past work. You get a written cash offer within 24 hours of our visit, and a clear-title sale closes in about 10 days.
Fort Lauderdale blends high-value waterfront real estate with established inland neighborhoods, and the two move very differently. Waterfront owners often face expensive seawall, dock, and elevation issues, while inland owners deal with aging roofs and insurance non-renewals. A cash sale removes the inspection and appraisal risk that so often derails a traditional Fort Lauderdale closing.
We make cash offers across every Fort Lauderdale ZIP code, including:
Waterfront Fort Lauderdale homes often need five- and six-figure seawall work. We buy as-is so you avoid that expense.
Older roofs and coastal exposure lead to dropped policies. Selling for cash lets you exit before premiums or non-renewals force your hand.
Job moves and retirements north are common here. We close on your schedule so a house never holds up your move.
Long-time Fort Lauderdale landlords sell tired units to us occupied and as-is, with no need to turn over the property first.
Fort Lauderdale officially recognizes neighborhood associations, among them the Victoria Park, Rio Vista, Coral Ridge and Sailboat Bend civic groups, and it has three locally designated historic districts. Sailboat Bend is the largest, with more than 550 buildings, and the city calls it its oldest neighborhood; the others are the Himmarshee Street and SW 2nd Avenue district downtown and the Stranahan House district.
Inside a historic district, a Certificate of Appropriateness is required for any work that changes a building’s exterior, including additions and demolition. The Historic Preservation Board reviews them monthly, and in-kind repairs can be approved by staff. Selling does not need one, but a buyer planning changes will factor that review in, and so do we.
Code cases in Fort Lauderdale are heard by a Special Magistrate, a licensed attorney appointed by the City Commission, who can find a violation, set fines of up to $500 a day and order a lien against the property’s title. For severe nuisances the city can make the repair itself and charge the owner. A separate Special Magistrate hears Building Division cases.
Title companies order city lien reports through the Conduits system run by Net Assets. From October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027, the city’s Lien Amnesty Program can cut eligible residential code liens by 50 percent if every property the owner holds in the city is in compliance, for a $175 fee applied for through LauderBuild. Rentals must also be registered with Code Compliance, and short-term rentals need a city certificate of compliance. Check the city’s current terms before relying on them.
One of our published case studies is a vacant Victoria Park condo. The owner had moved away and wanted to stop paying association fees, taxes and upkeep; the unit had dated finishes and an unresolved issue involving earlier unapproved work. It closed for cash in 24 days in January 2021, and the compliance issue was dealt with after closing.

More customer storiesThree transparent decisions take you from an initial Fort Lauderdale property review to a title-company closing.
Share the address, condition, occupancy, and your preferred timing. Photos are helpful but are not required to begin.
For the Fort Lauderdale property, we review comparable sales, title, and condition—including seawall and dock repairs, insurance non-renewal, out-of-state relocation—then explain the no-obligation cash terms.
If the Fort Lauderdale offer fits, a licensed title company verifies ownership and payoffs. A clear-title purchase can close in as little as 10 days, or later when you need time.
Answers to the questions Fort Lauderdale homeowners ask us most.
Yes. We buy waterfront and canal-front homes throughout Fort Lauderdale, including properties that need seawall, dock, or elevation work. Those repairs are our responsibility after closing, not yours.
Absolutely. Because we pay cash, we can close in about 10 days — many Fort Lauderdale owners sell to us specifically to avoid another season of insurance and storm risk.
Yes. Our office is next door at 2640 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, and we buy throughout Fort Lauderdale. You work with a local team that knows Broward County neighborhoods, title companies, and permitting firsthand.
We do. Open permits and code violations are common in older Fort Lauderdale homes, and we handle resolving them after we buy the property.
No. A Certificate of Appropriateness is needed for exterior changes, not for a sale. It matters to the buyer’s plans, so it is part of how we price the house.
Possibly. Through September 30, 2027 the city offers a 50 percent reduction on eligible residential code liens when all of the owner’s city properties comply. Check the city’s current terms; otherwise the lien is paid from the sale.
It can. Buildings that age go through the city’s Building Safety Inspection Program, so ask the association for its report and any repair plan. We review them before making an offer.
