Takes 60 seconds. No obligation.
Hialeah is one of the most tight-knit, family-oriented communities in Miami-Dade, and many homes here have been passed down through generations. We buy Hialeah houses for cash, as-is, and work with owners in both English and Spanish so the process is clear from the first call.
Whether you own an older CBS home that needs updating, a duplex you have rented for years, or a property you inherited, we make a fair cash offer with no repairs, no cleaning, and no commissions.
No. We buy Hialeah houses, duplexes and small rentals as-is, including ones with additions or conversions that were never permitted. You get a written cash offer within 24 hours of our visit, pay no commission or closing costs, and can close in about 10 days once title and the city’s re-occupancy step are done.
Hialeah is built largely of older concrete-block single-family homes and small multi-family properties, many owned free and clear by long-time residents. Aging roofs, original electrical and plumbing, and unpermitted additions are common and can complicate a traditional sale. Because so many buyers here rely on financing that stalls on these issues, a cash sale is often the fastest path to close.
Many Hialeah homes need roof, electrical, or plumbing updates. We buy them exactly as they are, no repairs required.
Enclosed patios and additions without permits can block a financed sale. We buy the home as-is and resolve permitting after closing.
Families settling an estate often prefer a quick, bilingual cash sale over managing repairs and probate logistics.
Owners of Hialeah duplexes and triplexes sell to us occupied, with no need to turn units over first.
Hialeah’s Building Department issues a Re-Occupancy Certificate, which the city requires for all applicable real estate closings and other transactions on residential units. It is a zoning check: the city says its purpose is to make sure the property complies with current zoning regulations. It is not a structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical inspection, and an approved certificate does not validate alterations or violations the inspector did not see. You apply through the city’s Citizen Self-Service portal, and the city also has a form to request a conditional certificate.
For a house with an added unit or a converted garage, the zoning check is where the question comes up. Selling to us does not make the issue go away, but it moves the fix to us: we price the house with it and work through the re-occupancy step with the title company.
If you would rather legalize the work yourself, Hialeah’s Building Relief Program (City Code section 14-9) reduces penalties and fines for owners who self-report unpermitted work and correct it. You apply with a correction plan, affidavits and as-built plans, and an architect or engineer must certify the as-built condition. Permit fees follow the regular schedule, and double permit fees are not charged. The program is not available once the city has already started enforcement.
That route can make sense if you plan to stay. If you are selling anyway, compare its cost and timeline with an as-is sale before you start.
Hialeah’s Code Compliance division, at 501 Palm Avenue, covers more than 80,000 properties in eight sectors, and unresolved cases go to Special Master hearings. Since July 1, 2013, the city’s Foreclosure Registry Program has required owners, mortgagees and trustees to register properties that are in default, in foreclosure or bank-owned.

“I was behind on mortgage payments and facing foreclosure with a tight deadline. I didn't think I had any options left. The team worked directly with my lender, paid off what was owed, and put cash in my pocket so I could get a fresh start. Honest, compassionate, and incredibly fast.”

iBuyers buy only in some Florida areas and set their own rules; check your address on their sites. Opendoor’s help center lists mobile and manufactured homes, vacant land and homes with major structural, fire, water or mold damage as not eligible. Fees and timelines vary by offer. If your home is move-in ready and you can wait, listing usually nets the most, and we’ll tell you so.
Opendoor and Offerpad vs. a local cash buyer, explainedThree transparent decisions take you from an initial Hialeah 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 Hialeah property, we review comparable sales, title, and condition—including older cbs homes, unpermitted additions, inherited family homes—then explain the no-obligation cash terms.
If the Hialeah 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.
