Buying Florida homes since 2012 · 650+ homes purchased
Lauderdale Lakes contains condominium and villa communities, age-restricted housing, rentals, and older single-family homes. Sellers often need to coordinate an estate, downsizing, association approval, belongings, or repairs without turning the property into a retail renovation.
We review the ownership, association package, condition, and desired date before making an as-is offer. The seller can compare that option with listing and keep control of the decision.
Takes 60 seconds. No obligation.
Yes. We buy Lauderdale Lakes condos, villas and houses as-is, including rentals without a current certificate of use and homes with code liens or expired permits. We order the city’s lien and permit searches, give you a written cash offer within 24 hours of seeing the property, and close in about 10 days once title is clear.
Lauderdale Lakes transactions can depend on association reserves, insurance, assessments, age or ownership rules, transfer approvals, roof responsibility, unit condition, and occupancy. Detached homes add roof, plumbing, electrical, permit, and insurance questions. The property type and community matter more than a citywide estimate.
We make cash offers across every Lauderdale Lakes ZIP code, including:
Heirs can coordinate title authority, association documents, cleanout, and condition without first renovating.
Agreed furniture and contents can remain while the seller plans housing, movers, and a realistic closing date.
We obtain estoppel, assessment, eligibility, and transfer information early rather than promising an impossible schedule.
Lauderdale Lakes requires every residential rental unit to have a valid certificate of use before it is leased or re-leased, and the rule covers rented houses, condos, multi-family units and mobile homes. Getting one takes a City Code inspection, a fee of $75 per parcel plus $150 per unit, and no major violations of the city’s Chapter 50 housing standards.
If you are selling a rented unit, the certificate is one of the first things an investor buyer asks for. If yours has lapsed or was never issued, tell us. It affects what a new owner must do before the next lease, so we price it in; it does not stop the sale.
The city’s Development Services Department handles municipal lien searches. Its form lists a lien and code violation search at $75 per folio number with seven to ten business days to respond, an expedited search at $200 within 48 business hours, and a separate permit search at $40. The form dates from 2015, so confirm the current fees when you order.
Code cases go to the Code Compliance Division and, if not resolved, to the Special Magistrate, who sits on the second Wednesday of each month. The city says violations can bring fines of up to $250 a day until fixed, and a lien filed against the title. Permits matter too: the city says a permit expires after 180 days of inactivity and must be renewed, so a half-finished job from years ago will show on the permit search.
Lauderdale Lakes was incorporated on June 22, 1961, with about 300 residents, on land the city describes as mostly farming and grazing. Today it covers about four square miles. The city’s utility billing page sends water and sewer payments to Broward County Water and Wastewater Services, so the final water bill usually comes from the county rather than city hall.
Mortgage lenders must register abandoned or vacant homes with the city, including homes sold at foreclosure, at $150 a year. Lauderdale Lakes does not appear on FEMA’s October 2026 list of Community Rating System communities, so there is no community discount on flood insurance; check the address on FEMA’s flood map before you price a policy.

DetailsFounder Daniel Sasson has purchased Florida properties since 2012 and remains directly involved in seller conversations and buying decisions. If a direct sale is not the best fit for your Lauderdale Lakes property, the team will explain the alternatives rather than pressure you into accepting an offer.
Meet Daniel and learn how we workA useful offer must account for the actual property—not merely its ZIP code. In Lauderdale Lakes, that means reviewing issues such as probate or inherited property, downsizing from a longtime unit, assessment or approval issue, along with title, occupancy, condition, and the seller's timing. Our published transaction stories show how that review works when several issues overlap.

Share the address, condition, occupancy, and your preferred timing. Photos are helpful but are not required to begin.
For the Lauderdale Lakes property, we review comparable sales, title, and condition—including probate or inherited property, downsizing from a longtime unit, assessment or approval issue—then explain the no-obligation cash terms.
If the Lauderdale Lakes 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 Lauderdale Lakes homeowners ask us most.
We can pursue them only when the buyer and transaction meet the community’s governing requirements and complete the required approval process.
Heirs can coordinate title authority, association documents, cleanout, and condition without first renovating. We verify the address-specific facts before finalizing the price and timeline, so the written offer is not based on a generic deduction.
Agreed furniture and contents can remain while the seller plans housing, movers, and a realistic closing date. Any available notices, reports, permits, invoices, leases, or association records help the title and closing teams identify the correct next step.
We obtain estoppel, assessment, eligibility, and transfer information early rather than promising an impossible schedule. An initial review can begin before every issue is resolved; the contract and title process will state what must happen before closing.
A clear-title purchase can close in as little as 10 days, but probate, associations, and repairs, title, occupancy, association, permit, lien, or probate requirements may call for a longer date chosen with the seller.
The city’s form allows seven to ten business days for a standard lien and code violation search at $75 per folio, or 48 business hours for an expedited search at $200. Confirm the fees with Development Services, since the form dates from 2015.
Yes. The city requires one before a unit is leased or re-leased, so the missing certificate is something the next owner deals with. We take it into account in the offer.
It shows up on the city’s permit search, because a permit expires after 180 days of inactivity. A retail buyer may ask you to close it out; we buy with it still open.
