We Buy Houses in Broward County

Cash home buyers for all of Broward County

Broward County stretches from the beaches of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Deerfield Beach west to the edge of the Everglades, with 31 cities and a wide range of homes in between. Our team has been buying as-is properties for more than 10 years, and we review every Broward property individually, because a 1950s block home in Oakland Park and a 1990s townhome in Miramar are very different sales.

Whether you need to sell your house fast in Broward, want to skip repairs, or would rather not deal with showings, we give you a straightforward written cash offer and explain exactly how we arrived at it.

We buy houses in Broward County, coast to Everglades

When people search for someone who buys houses in Broward, they are usually in one of three very different markets, and we buy in all of them.

• The coast and the Intracoastal: Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Hollywood, where older condo towers, canal homes, and seawalls drive most of the questions.
• The central suburbs built from the 1950s through the 1970s: Oakland Park, Margate, Tamarac, Lauderhill, Plantation, and Sunrise, with block homes, villas, and some of the county's biggest 55+ condo communities.
• The western cities that filled in later, such as Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Pembroke Pines, and Miramar, where many homes sit inside an HOA and the issues are aging roofs, dues, and violation letters, plus Davie's horse properties and acreage.

• Waterfront and canal homes that need seawall, dock, or flood repairs
• Rental properties with tenants in place

Local issues that make Broward sales harder

Many Broward homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and age brings problems that lenders and insurers notice: original cast iron drain lines, outdated electrical panels, and roofs that insurers will not cover. Broward is also in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so roof, window, and door replacements must meet stricter standards, which raises repair costs.

Water is a constant factor. Low-lying neighborhoods near canals and the Intracoastal can flood in heavy rain, as many residents saw in April 2023, when more than two feet of rain fell on the Fort Lauderdale area in about a day. Florida sellers must now disclose past flood insurance claims and federal flood assistance, and flood insurance can be costly.

Condo owners face their own pressures. Broward has long required safety recertification for many older buildings, and Florida's post-Surfside laws added milestone inspections and structural reserve requirements. Some associations have raised dues or levied large special assessments as a result.

Common reasons Broward owners contact us

• Inheriting a family home, often through Broward County probate
• An older condo facing a special assessment or rising insurance costs
• A rental with tenant problems or expensive turnover repairs
• Code enforcement cases or open permits
• Falling behind on mortgage payments or property taxes
• Relocating out of South Florida
• A home that needs more work than the owner wants to take on

How a cash sale works in Broward County

You share the property details, we review them and schedule a walkthrough, and we make a written offer. If you accept, a title company opens a file and runs the title search, a municipal lien search, and any association estoppel requests. In Broward, the buyer customarily pays for the owner's title policy, and documentary stamp tax on the deed is $0.70 per $100 of the price. Your contract states exactly who pays what. At closing, the title company pays off any mortgage and liens and sends you the balance.

When the title search comes back clear, a Broward closing can happen in as little as 10 days. If you need more time to move, sort belongings, or wait on a court, you set a later date instead.

When listing is the better choice

Not every Broward house belongs with a cash buyer. An updated home with a newer roof that can be insured at a normal price will usually draw financed buyers, and listing it may net you more than our offer even after commission. When that is your situation we will say so, and BreakThru Realty, the Florida brokerage under the same ownership as Neighborhood Cash Buyers, can list it. Many owners ask for both answers and compare them side by side; our Florida guide to a cash offer vs. listing shows how.

Probate and foreclosure cases in Broward

Broward County is part of Florida's 17th Judicial Circuit, which handles local probate and foreclosure cases. If your property is involved in either, share the case number with us. It helps us understand the timeline, and we can sign a contract that fits the court's schedule.

Estate cases are filed with the Broward County Clerk of Courts' Probate and Guardianship division at the Central Courthouse on S.E. 6th Street in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The circuit's probate division covers summary administration, formal administration, trusts, and guardianships, so a house left by a parent usually moves through one of those tracks before anyone can sign a deed. Our guide to what happens when a property goes into probate explains the steps.

Mortgage foreclosures are handled by the Clerk's Circuit Civil Division. The final judgment sets the sale date, and a sale to us has to close before it. How foreclosure works in Florida walks through each stage so you can see how much time you have.
