We Buy Houses in Fort Lauderdale, FL
We Buy Houses — Cash Offer in Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area, with a licensed real-estate professional. No obligation.
Fort Lauderdale's housing stock is heavily mid-century — large numbers of 1950s–1970s concrete block and stucco homes on slab, with a median year built around 1972 (Census), alongside beachfront and Intracoastal high-rise condominiums and newer townhome infill. Most homes here are owner-occupied, according to Census estimates, and much of the single-family stock predates modern building codes. In a city called the 'Venice of America' for its hundreds of miles of canals, constant salt air corrodes garage springs, gate motors, hinges and lock cylinders years earlier than inland, and hurricane season (June 1–November 30) puts roofs, garage doors and impact protection front and center. All of that shapes what a house needs before it can be listed — and what a direct sale lets you skip.
Premier Real Estate Group Inc buys houses in Fort Lauderdale directly, for its own account, and makes a written cash offer with no obligation to accept. We buy as-is, any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no showings — and you pick the closing date, which can be as little as 14 days when title is clear or a later date that works for you. There is no agent commission when we buy directly; closing costs are covered as stated in the written offer. Be aware of the trade: a cash offer is usually below what a repaired home could bring on the open market, because it trades price for speed and certainty. If your home is in good condition and listing on the MLS would net you more, we can list it instead.
Direct purchases here usually involve something that makes a conventional listing hard: storm or water damage, a roof an insurer has questioned, unpermitted work or an open code-enforcement case, liens or unpaid property taxes, an inherited or probate house, a tenant-occupied rental, a divorce, a relocation deadline, or a house still full of belongings. On the water and near the beach, corrosion on garage doors, gate operators and exterior hardware adds to the repair list, and older roofs and mid-century electrical and plumbing often trigger a four-point inspection request from insurers. We look at the house as it stands today rather than asking you to fix it first.
What to know in Fort Lauderdale
Flood zone and the seller's flood disclosure
Flood zones come from FEMA maps, and a lender generally requires flood insurance in a Special Flood Hazard Area, though homes outside one can still flood. Florida sellers must give buyers a flood disclosure under s. 689.302, F.S., and that applies in a direct sale too.
Insurance inspections on older homes
With so much Fort Lauderdale stock built in the 1950s–1970s, insurers commonly ask for a four-point inspection covering roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC, and offer wind-mitigation credits for documented features under s. 627.0629, F.S. In a direct cash purchase you are not asked to pass those inspections first.
Condo milestone inspections and reserve studies
For the city's high-rise condominiums, Florida requires a milestone structural inspection for buildings three stories or taller once they reach 30 years (s. 553.899, F.S.) and a structural integrity reserve study for associations with such buildings (s. 718.112(2)(g), F.S.). Ask the association for its milestone and SIRS reports.
Association approval and estoppel letters
HOA-governed buildings and gated communities are widespread here, and an association may need to approve the buyer and issue an estoppel certificate. That step can affect the closing date, so we start it early.
Liens, code enforcement and unpermitted work
An open code-enforcement case or recorded code lien is resolved or paid at closing as the city or county requires — verify with the local code-enforcement office. Payoff letters for any mortgage, lien or unpaid property taxes are ordered through the title company.
Probate, tenants and payments behind
An estate sale needs the personal representative's authority to sell from the will or the probate court, and the estate's attorney confirms which; in a divorce, the owners' attorneys review the terms. Existing leases generally continue after a sale and deposits are accounted for at closing, and if payments are behind, a HUD-approved housing counselor (free, through HUD or 800-569-4287) can explain options.
How we help
- A written cash offer, no obligationYou get a written cash offer to buy the house directly, with no obligation to accept. You are free to have your own agent or attorney review it.
- As-is, any conditionWe buy as-is, any condition — no repairs to the roof, the corroded garage hardware or the gate operator, no cleaning out belongings, no showings.
- You pick the closing dateClosing can happen in as little as 14 days when title is clear, or on a later date you choose. The timeline depends on title, payoffs, any association approval and, for an estate, the probate process.
- Closing through a title companyA title search, payoff letters, the deed and the Florida flood disclosure are handled through a title company or closing attorney. There is no agent commission when we buy directly, and closing costs are covered as stated in the written offer.
- The MLS option when it fits betterIf the house is in good condition and listing would likely net you more, we will say so and can list it on the MLS instead. Pricing on a listing depends on condition, location and the market at the time.
Florida rules and paperwork in Fort Lauderdale
Premier Real Estate Group Inc is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage (broker of record Maxim Bohadana, BK3314523, verifiable on the Florida DBPR website), regulated by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Real Estate, under the Florida Real Estate Commission. When we buy a property directly, we are acting as the buyer for our own account, not as your agent; you are free to have your own agent or attorney review any offer, and nothing here is legal or tax advice. A direct sale still closes through a title company or closing attorney with a title search, payoff letters, the deed and the Florida flood disclosure (s. 689.302, F.S.), and a condo or HOA may need to approve the buyer and issue an estoppel letter. On closing taxes, documentary stamp tax on the deed is 70 cents per 100 dollars of the price (s. 201.02, F.S.); if a buyer finances, documentary stamp tax on a new mortgage note is 35 cents per 100 dollars financed (s. 201.08, F.S.) and nonrecurring intangible tax on a new mortgage is 2 mills (s. 199.133, F.S.). Who pays each item is set by the purchase contract and is negotiable — you can estimate with the free Florida Doc Stamp & Closing Tax Calculator on this site at /tools/florida-closing-costs. If you are buying your next primary residence in Florida, the homestead exemption reduces taxable value and caps assessment increases under Save Our Homes; apply to the county property appraiser, generally by March 1 of the year after moving in. Verify insurance questions with your insurance agent, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation or the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, and lien or permit questions with the local code-enforcement office.

Timing and next steps
A cash sale does not depend on the seasonal market the way a listing does — the timeline depends on title, payoffs, association approval and, for an estate, probate. Listings here do follow a rhythm: demand rises ahead of and during hurricane season for storm preparation, and again in the November–April period when seasonal residents return and long-vacant homes are opened up. To start, call (954) 703-4504 or send a request with the form on this page; a licensed real-estate professional — Premier Real Estate Group Inc or a licensed agent we refer you to — will contact you by phone or email to set up a free consultation, and if you want to compare, we can prepare a free comparative market analysis.

We Buy Houses — Cash Offer in Fort Lauderdale: common questions
- How fast can you close on a Fort Lauderdale house?
- Closing can happen in as little as 14 days when title is clear, or on a later date you pick. If there are payoffs, a lien, an open code-enforcement case or an association approval, those steps set the pace.
- Will your cash offer be less than listing on the MLS?
- Usually, yes. A cash offer trades price for speed and certainty, and a home in good condition may net more on the MLS after repairs — we will tell you when that looks likely and can list it instead.
- Do you buy condominiums here?
- We do consider condos, including along the beach and Intracoastal. For buildings three stories or taller that have reached 30 years, we review the association's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study, plus the estoppel and approval process, before finalizing terms.
- My house flooded or has storm damage — does that matter?
- We buy as-is, any condition, so storm, water or fire damage does not have to be repaired first. You still provide the Florida flood disclosure required by s. 689.302, F.S., and flood coverage is separate from a standard homeowners policy.
- Which areas do you buy in?
- Cash offers are available in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties for now; the brokerage itself is licensed statewide. Call (954) 703-4504 or use the request form for a no-obligation written cash offer.
