Sell your Fort Lauderdale house for cash
Fort Lauderdale has older block houses and duplexes in neighborhoods like Sistrunk, Riverland and Croissant Park, next to canal-front homes in Rio Vista and Victoria Park. I'm based in Wichita and buy Broward County houses as-is, for cash.

Selling in Fort Lauderdale: what to know
- Foreclosure in Florida
- Judicial (through the courts)
- Florida foreclosures go through the circuit court, and the house is sold at a clerk's auction only after a final judgment. That usually takes many months, which leaves room to sell on your own terms.
- Probate
- When someone dies owning a house in Fort Lauderdale, the estate is usually handled through the Probate Division of the Broward County Circuit Court (Seventeenth Judicial Circuit).
- Your tax break doesn't transfer to a buyer
- Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps how fast the taxable value of a homestead can rise each year, so long-time owners often pay much less than a new buyer would. When the house sells, the next owner's value resets to market. You may be able to carry part of your savings to your next Florida homestead (called portability) if you apply with the property appraiser.
- Flood-prone streets
- Parts of Fort Lauderdale flood in heavy rain and storm surge. If your house has taken water, or needs repairs the insurance won't cover, I buy it as-is and you don't have to fix anything first.
What I hear from Fort Lauderdale sellers
- Houses with older roofs, where insurance has become expensive or hard to get.
- Homes with flood damage, or open permits that make a regular sale harder.
- Inherited homes that need to go through probate in Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale questions
Do you really buy houses in Fort Lauderdale if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Fort Lauderdale and its suburbs across Broward County. You talk to me, Brayden, from the first call to closing, not a call center. Closing happens at a Florida title company or closing attorney, so you don't have to travel.
How does foreclosure work in Florida, and can I still sell?
Florida foreclosures go through the circuit court, and the house is sold at a clerk's auction only after a final judgment. That usually takes many months, which leaves room to sell on your own terms. A sale that closes before the foreclosure sale can pay off the loan, if the price covers what's owed. I'm not a lawyer, so talk to one or a HUD-approved housing counselor about your options too.
I inherited a house in Fort Lauderdale. Can I sell it before probate is finished?
Usually someone needs legal authority to sell, typically an executor or administrator appointed through the Probate Division of the Broward County Circuit Court (Seventeenth Judicial Circuit). I can make an offer now and set the closing for after that's in place. A probate attorney can tell you exactly what your situation needs.
Will you buy the house yourself, or assign the contract?
Sometimes I buy a house myself, and sometimes I assign my purchase contract to another investor who closes instead. Either way, your price and closing date are the ones in the contract you sign, and I'll tell you up front how your sale will work.
How fast can you close on a house in Fort Lauderdale?
Closing is usually within two to three weeks once the title company or closing attorney has what it needs. If you need more time, pick a later date.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house out?
No. I buy as-is. You can leave behind anything you don't want to take with you.
