Buying Florida homes since 2012 · 650+ homes purchased
Miami Beach ownership comes with pressures no other market has — building recertification and milestone inspections, ballooning condo reserves, and salt-air wear that turns ordinary maintenance into major expense. We buy Miami Beach houses and condos directly for cash, so you can sell before the next special assessment lands.
From an aging Art Deco condo in South Beach to a single-family home on one of the Venetian Islands, we buy as-is and cover closing costs. You avoid the drawn-out showings that seasonal demand and financing contingencies make so unpredictable here.
Takes 60 seconds. No obligation.
Yes. We buy Miami Beach condos and houses as-is, including units in buildings facing recertification and homes with open violations or expired permits. We order the city’s certified lien search, give you a written cash offer within 24 hours of seeing the property, and close in about 10 days once title is clear.
Miami Beach is dominated by older condominiums, and the post-Surfside recertification and reserve-funding rules have hit owners hard with assessments that can reach six figures. Salt exposure, flood zones, and sea-level concerns add cost and complexity that scare off financed buyers and lengthen days on market. A cash sale lets Beach owners exit before assessments compound or a policy is non-renewed.
Older Miami Beach buildings face steep recertification and reserve assessments. We buy affected units so you are not stuck funding the bill.
Corrosion, humidity, and flooding wear coastal properties down. We buy as-is, damage and all, and handle the repairs after closing.
Owners of tired short-term rentals and second homes sell to us rather than keep covering fees on a unit they rarely use.
Heirs of Miami Beach condos often prefer a fast cash sale over navigating association approvals and assessments from afar.
Miami Beach runs its own online lien research system, and the city raised its fees on October 1, 2026. A certified search now costs $144 for a property with no common area or $214 for a condo, and takes five to seven business days. An expedited search, returned in one business day, costs $352 or $422. The city says its statements are good for 30 days, and that they do not relieve anyone of searching Miami-Dade County’s public records too.
Open violations and expired permits are listed on the city’s Civic Access portal, so you can see what a buyer will see before you sign anything. An expired permit can be renewed: the city renews permits for 180 days from the expiration date. If you would rather not deal with an old permit, we buy with it open and close it out ourselves.
The city’s Code Compliance Department issues a notice of violation with a compliance date. If the fine is not paid, the city says it becomes a lien on the property and can lead to foreclosure procedures. Florida law adds a limit: under section 162.09, a code lien created under that part may not be foreclosed on a homestead.
Owners can ask the Special Magistrate to reduce a fine with the city’s Application for Mitigation, which the City Clerk’s Special Magistrate page lists. Whether to apply before selling, or let the lien be paid from the proceeds, depends on the numbers. This is general information, not legal advice; a Florida attorney can tell you what applies to your case.
Miami Beach has 14 local historic districts. Exterior work there needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Board or Planning Department staff, which a buyer who wants to remodel will price in. Condo and larger buildings follow Miami-Dade’s recertification rule, enforced by the city’s building department: the first report at 30 years and every 10 years after, in the program the city labels “previously 40 Year Recertification.” You can check a building’s status in the city’s Citizen Self Service portal.
The city says 93% of its buildings are in FEMA’s special flood hazard area. Its 50% rule adds up the job values on every city building permit for a property over the past year and compares the total with the Property Appraiser’s value; once improvements reach half, the building must meet current flood rules. That is why we buy older Beach homes as they are, rather than asking you to renovate. Miami Beach’s Community Rating System class 5 gives most flood policyholders a 25% discount.
The city prohibits vacation and short-term rentals, meaning stays of less than six months and one day, in all single-family homes. Where they are allowed, the owner needs a business tax receipt and a resort tax account. If you have been renting your home or unit short-term, tell us how, because a buyer cannot count on that income continuing.

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 Miami Beach 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 Miami Beach, that means reviewing issues such as recertification and reserves, salt-air and flood damage, seasonal and investment units, along with title, occupancy, condition, and the seller's timing. Our published transaction stories show how that review works when several issues overlap.
Explore the case studiesThree transparent decisions take you from an initial Miami Beach 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 Miami Beach property, we review comparable sales, title, and condition—including recertification and reserves, salt-air and flood damage, seasonal and investment units—then explain the no-obligation cash terms.
If the Miami Beach 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 Miami Beach homeowners ask us most.
Yes. Recertification and reserve assessments are the number one reason Miami Beach owners call us. We review the association documents and make an offer that accounts for the outstanding balance.
We do. Salt damage, dated interiors, and deferred maintenance are expected on the Beach. We buy as-is and take on the repairs ourselves.
Yes. We are familiar with Miami Beach association approval processes and factor the timeline into a closing date that works for you.
Absolutely. We regularly close Miami Beach condos remotely through a local title company so you never have to fly in.
The city says 30 days. A certified search takes five to seven business days and an expedited one comes back in one, so the title company orders it close to the closing date.
Yes, but the city prohibits rentals of less than six months and one day in all single-family homes, so that income is not something a buyer can rely on. We price the house as a home, not as a rental business.
It matters to whoever renovates. The city adds up a year of permit values and compares them with the building’s appraised value; past half, the building must meet current flood rules. Selling as-is leaves that to us.
