Yes, you can sell your Driftwood house for cash, as it stands today. Driftwood is a neighborhood of single-family streets in west Hollywood. Its civic association covers blocks on both sides of Sheridan Street and meets at the Driftwood Community Center, 3000 N. 69th Avenue, which shares its address with the city’s Driftwood Community Pool. County property records file the blocks along Coolidge, Atlanta, Perry, Scott and Greene Streets under the name Driftwood Acres.
Most houses here went up in the late 1950s, so many are now well over 60 years old. We buy them as-is: no repairs, no cleaning, and you can leave belongings behind. After we review the property you get a written cash offer within 24 hours. You pay no commissions, no fees and no closing costs. Our Hollywood office is a short drive east on Hollywood Boulevard, and we work with sellers in English and Spanish.

Sell your Driftwood house as-is
Driftwood grew during Hollywood’s push west after World War II. The city says that extending Hollywood Boulevard from State Road 7 out to U.S. 27 in 1954 set off that westward growth, and the city’s population went from 22,978 in 1955 to 35,237 in 1960. Driftwood’s plats date from that boom: Driftwood Acres, Driftwood Plaza, Palm Lane Villa, Linwood Gardens and Heritage Homes. In a sample of 229 Driftwood Acres parcels in Broward County Property Appraiser records, every one was zoned RS-6 single-family, and about four in five houses were built between 1955 and 1962. The most common build years were 1957, 1958 and 1959.
These are modest one-family houses on regular suburban lots. In that sample, most lots measured roughly 6,200 to 7,200 square feet, the median house had about 1,275 square feet under air, and most had three bedrooms, with a good share of two-bedroom homes. Houses this age often still have older roofs, wiring and plumbing, and Florida insurers look at all of them. Sales here can take a while. In the 3 months ending May 31, 2026, Redfin counted 47 homes sold in Driftwood, at a median sale price of $495,000 and a median of 118 days on the market.

Why Driftwood owners sell for cash
Insurance on a 1950s house
Insurers often ask for a four-point inspection of the roof, wiring, plumbing and heating and air on older homes, for new policies and for renewals. Outdated wiring flagged in that report usually has to be replaced. We buy the house without those fixes.
Flood zone changes block by block
FEMA’s flood map puts some Driftwood addresses in Zone AE, a high-risk area, and others in Zone X. A buyer with a mortgage on an AE lot will usually need flood insurance, which can change what they can pay. Our cash offer does not depend on a lender.
A long wait on the market
Driftwood homes took a median of 118 days to sell in the 3 months ending May 31, 2026, by Redfin’s count. If you are paying a mortgage, taxes and insurance on an empty house, that is a lot of months. A cash sale can close in as little as 10 days when title is clear.
Small houses that need more room
Many Driftwood houses have two or three bedrooms and about 1,275 square feet. Adding a bedroom means plans, a city building permit and inspections. If you would rather move than build, we buy the house as it is.
Selling in Driftwood: what's different here
Checking a Driftwood flood zone
Flood risk in Driftwood is not the same on every street. When we checked a sample of Driftwood Acres addresses against FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, some fell in Zone AE, where the map shows a 1% yearly chance of flooding, some in the shaded Zone X with a 0.2% yearly chance, and one in the minimal-risk Zone X. Lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged home in Zone AE.
Look up your own address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center before you price the house, and keep any elevation certificate you have. In June 2026 the city handed out sand for sandbags at Driftwood Park, with residents registering at the Driftwood Community Pool. If your house has taken on water before, tell us what happened and what was repaired. We can buy it with the damage still there.
Selling in Driftwood: cash buyer, agent or Opendoor?
Three ways to sell, side by side. The right one depends on your home’s condition and your timeline.
| Cash buyer (us) | Listing with an agent | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homes it fits | Cash buyer (us)Any condition: repairs, tenants, liens, code cases, inherited or vacant | Listing with an agentMove-in-ready homes when you can wait for the right buyer | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad)Newer homes in good shape. No mobile homes, vacant land or major damage |
| Price | Cash buyer (us)Below full retail, priced as-is, in a written offer | Listing with an agentHighest potential price for a market-ready home | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad)Near market value, minus their fee and repair deductions |
| Fees and commissions | Cash buyer (us)None. No commission and no fee to us | Listing with an agentNegotiated agent compensation, often several percent of the price | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad)A service fee shown in each offer (reviews report about 5%) |
| Repairs | Cash buyer (us)None. We buy as-is | Listing with an agentOften needed before listing or after the buyer’s inspection | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad)Deducted from the offer after their home assessment |
| Closing costs | Cash buyer (us)We pay the normal closing costs | Listing with an agentSeller usually pays title, Florida deed stamps and settlement fees | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad)Seller usually pays closing costs on top of the service fee |
| Showings | Cash buyer (us)None | Listing with an agentShowings and open houses | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad)One assessment visit, no showings |
| Time to close | Cash buyer (us)As little as 10 days, or the date you choose | Listing with an agentOften months: time on market, then a 30–45 day financed closing | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad)Usually a few weeks, within their closing window |
| Certainty | Cash buyer (us)Cash, no financing or appraisal contingency | Listing with an agentBuyer financing or a low appraisal can end the deal | iBuyer (Opendoor, Offerpad)Cash, but the price can drop after the assessment |
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, explainedHow a direct sale works in Driftwood
Three transparent decisions take you from an initial Driftwood property review to a title-company closing.
Describe the Driftwood property
Share the address, condition, occupancy, and your preferred timing. Photos are helpful but are not required to begin.
Review the written offer
For the Driftwood property, we review comparable sales, title, and condition—including insurance on a 1950s house, flood zone changes block by block, a long wait on the market—then explain the no-obligation cash terms.
Choose the practical closing date
If the Driftwood 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.
