Step 1 of 2Takes 60 seconds. No obligation.
Yes, you can sell your Emerald Hills house for cash, as-is, whether it backs onto a fairway or sits on an inside street. Emerald Hills lies in northwest Hollywood, north of Sheridan Street and south of Stirling Road, roughly between North Park Road and North 56th Avenue. Its streets curve around the golf course of the Club at Emerald Hills, at 4100 North Hills Drive.
Single-family homes make up most of the neighborhood, with gated sections, townhomes and condos mixed in. We buy all of them from our Hollywood office, without repairs or cleaning, and you can leave belongings behind. You get a written cash offer within 24 hours of our look at the property, with no commissions, no fees and no closing costs on your side.

Sell your Emerald Hills house as-is
The golf course came first. It was laid out in 1969 by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge, and the homes followed around it. On the Emerald Hills plats, the Broward County Property Appraiser lists 682 single-family homes, and 659 of them were built in the 1970s, with a median build year of 1972. Lots are large for Hollywood, with a median of about 10,000 square feet, and many back onto the course. Newer pockets came later. The Preserve at Emerald Hills is a gated community of 77 estate homes and 40 coach homes, and the city lists the Lakes of Emerald Hills and its townhouse section as their own condo and homeowner associations.
Most houses here are now about 50 years old, so the original roofs, plumbing and air conditioning on many have reached the end of their life, if they have not been replaced. Florida insurers often ask for a four-point inspection of those systems on older homes. In the 3 months ending May 31, 2026, Redfin counted 25 homes sold in Emerald Hills, at a median sale price of $429,000 and a median of 69 days on the market. Homes sold at an average of 93.1% of list price, so many sellers here gave ground on price.

Why Emerald Hills owners sell for cash
Big changes on the golf course
In August 2026 the city’s Planning and Development Board voted to rezone the 166-acre course for a plan with 284 homes, 40 lodging villas, a new clubhouse and a redesigned course. Some owners would rather sell now than live through years of building.
Fifty-year-old houses
Nearly all the single-family homes here were built in the 1970s. If the roof, plumbing or air conditioning is original, we buy the house without the repairs.
Association rules and fees
Gated sections and condo and townhouse associations come with dues and their own rules. If fees are behind or you are tired of the rules, we can work through the estoppel letter at closing.

Selling in Emerald Hills: what's different here
The Club at Emerald Hills redevelopment
The course at 4100 North Hills Drive is privately owned. On August 4, 2026, Hollywood’s Planning and Development Board voted to rezone the 166.2-acre site from Country Club to Planned Development. The plan calls for 284 homes, including townhomes, condos in several buildings and two single-family homes, plus 40 lodging villas, a new clubhouse and a course redesigned by Nicklaus Design. The owner first proposed redeveloping the course in 2020, and in March 2024 the City Commission capped the site at 360 homes, so the current plan is smaller than what the land-use change allows. That board vote was a step toward City Commission approval, so check the city’s meeting agendas for the plan’s current status. Neighbors have been split. Some welcome a new club, and others worry about flooding and traffic. If you want to sell before construction starts, we buy as-is.
Flood zones in Emerald Hills
FEMA’s flood map puts about three-quarters of the single-family lots on the Emerald Hills plats in shaded Zone X, a moderate-risk area. About one in seven sit in Zone AE, a Special Flood Hazard Area with a base flood elevation of 6 feet, and the rest are in minimal-risk Zone X. Lenders generally require flood insurance on mortgaged homes in Zone AE. You can look up your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Selling in Emerald Hills: 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 Emerald Hills
Three transparent decisions take you from an initial Emerald Hills property review to a title-company closing.
Describe the Emerald Hills 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 Emerald Hills property, we review comparable sales, title, and condition—including big changes on the golf course, fifty-year-old houses, association rules and fees—then explain the no-obligation cash terms.
Choose the practical closing date
If the Emerald Hills 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.
Emerald Hills home-selling FAQs
Answers for Emerald Hills homeowners thinking about a cash sale.

Yes. We order the estoppel letter that shows what is owed to the association and handle it at closing. Past-due dues can be paid from the sale.
Most lots here are in moderate-risk shaded Zone X, but about one in seven sit in high-risk Zone AE. Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center or the city’s Flood Risk Portal.
No. Old roofs, worn pools and dated kitchens are fine. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest.
