We Buy Houses in Lauderdale Lakes, FL
We Buy Houses — Cash Offer in Lauderdale Lakes and the surrounding area, with a licensed real-estate professional. No obligation.

Most of Lauderdale Lakes was built out between the late 1950s and the 1980s: single-story concrete-block-and-stucco houses with flat or low-slope roofs and barrel-tile or shingle coverings, carports or single-car garages rather than large attached ones, plus a very large share of low-rise condominium and co-op buildings. The climate is hot and humid year-round, with a May–October rainy season and daily summer thunderstorms, and salt-laden air off the Atlantic still drifts the roughly five miles inland to this city. That combination shows up as rust on garage and gate hardware, corroded lock cylinders, and mold or moisture in ductwork on homes that have not been updated in decades.
Premier Real Estate Group Inc buys houses in Lauderdale Lakes directly, for its own account. You get a written cash offer with no obligation, as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no showings. You pick the closing date, which can be as little as 14 days when title is clear, or later if that works better. Be clear-eyed about 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 listing on the MLS would net you more for a house in good condition, we can list it instead.
The situations we see most in a city with this housing stock are houses needing repairs after decades of humidity and storm exposure, fire, water or storm damage, open code-enforcement cases or unpermitted work, liens and unpaid property taxes, inherited and probate houses, tenant-occupied rentals, relocation deadlines, divorce, houses still full of belongings, and condo or HOA approval and estoppel letters. Because much of the local condo and co-op stock sits in association-governed communities, some with gated entries, association paperwork is often the step that sets the pace of a sale here.
What to know in Lauderdale Lakes
Flood zone and the required disclosure
Flood zones come from FEMA flood maps, a lender generally requires flood insurance in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and homes outside one can still flood. Florida sellers must give buyers a flood disclosure under s. 689.302, F.S., and that disclosure is part of a direct sale too.
Roof age and insurability on 1950s–1980s houses
Florida insurers commonly ask for a four-point inspection covering roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC on older homes, and roof age and condition are frequently the deciding factor in whether coverage is offered at all. That matters most if you list; when we buy directly, we buy as-is, in any condition.
Wind-mitigation documentation
A licensed inspector completes the uniform mitigation form OIR-B1-1802, and documented features such as roof-to-wall connections and impact-rated openings can support premium credits under s. 627.0629, F.S. Amounts vary by insurer — confirm with your insurance agent.
Condo and co-op association steps
An association may require buyer approval and will issue an estoppel certificate, and its documents and budgets are part of due diligence. For buildings three stories or taller, ask the association for its milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study reports.
Code cases, liens and unpaid taxes
An open code-enforcement case or a recorded code lien is resolved or paid at closing as the city or county requires — verify with the local code-enforcement office. Mortgage, lien and tax payoff letters are ordered by the title company as part of the closing.
Inherited and probate houses
An estate sale needs the personal representative's authority to sell, which comes from the will or the probate court; the estate's attorney confirms which applies. The probate process, not the market, usually controls the timeline.
Tenant-occupied houses and units
Leases generally continue after a sale, and security deposits are accounted for at closing. Gather the leases, ledgers and deposit records early so the title company can reconcile them.
How we help
- A written cash offer, no obligationTell us about the property by phone or the request form and we prepare a written cash offer for you to review. There is no obligation to accept, and you are free to have your own agent or attorney review it.
- We buy as-is, any conditionNo repairs, cleaning or showings — that includes houses with storm, fire or water damage, failing roofs, or belongings left behind. Corroded hardware and dated systems common in homes of this era are our problem after closing, not yours.
- You pick the closing dateClosing can happen in as little as 14 days when title is clear, or on a later date you choose if you need time to move or to finish probate. The timeline depends on title, payoffs, any association approval and, for an estate, the probate process.
- Closing through a title companyA title company or closing attorney handles the title search, payoff letters, the deed and the Florida seller's flood disclosure. Association estoppel letters are ordered where a condo or HOA is involved.
- No commission on a direct purchaseThere is no real-estate commission and no listing fee when we buy your house directly, because in that transaction Premier is the buyer, not your agent. Who pays which closing costs is written into the offer before you sign.
- The option to list insteadIf listing on the MLS would net you more for a home in good condition, we can list it instead; a commission is typically paid in that case, and the amount is negotiable and set in a written listing agreement.
Florida rules and paperwork in Lauderdale Lakes
Real estate in Florida is regulated by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Real Estate, under the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC). Premier Real Estate Group Inc is a licensed Florida brokerage (broker of record Maxim Bohadana, BK3314523, verifiable on the DBPR website); when we buy a property directly we act as the buyer for our own account, not as your agent, and this page is not legal or tax advice. Expect the standard Florida paperwork: the seller's flood disclosure (s. 689.302, F.S.), payoff letters, the deed, association approval and an estoppel certificate where a condo or HOA is involved, and — for condominium or cooperative buildings three stories or taller — the association's milestone structural inspection at 30 years (s. 553.899, F.S.) and structural integrity reserve study (s. 718.112(2)(g), F.S.). If the house is your homestead, note that the exemption and Save Our Homes cap are applied for through the county property appraiser, generally by March 1 of the year after moving in; verify with the Broward County Property Appraiser. 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 the note is 35 cents per 100 dollars financed (s. 201.08, F.S.) and the 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.

Timing and next steps
Locally, demand tends to rise ahead of and during hurricane season (June 1–November 30, with the heaviest rush in August–October) and again in the winter months when seasonal residents return and long-closed homes are opened up. A cash sale does not depend on that seasonal market the way a listing does — the timeline depends on title, any payoffs, an association approval and, for an estate, probate. To start, call (954) 703-4504 or send the request 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. Consultations are free, and cash offers are currently limited to Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
We consider houses, condos and co-ops across Oriole Estates, Oriole Gardens, Hawaiian Gardens, Somerset, Cypress Chase, the State Road 7 / US-441 and Oakland Park Boulevard corridors and the Lauderdale Lakes Mainstreet district, as well as nearby Lauderhill, Plantation, Oakland Park, Fort Lauderdale, North Lauderdale, Tamarac, Sunrise and Wilton Manors.
We Buy Houses — Cash Offer in Lauderdale Lakes: common questions
- Do you buy condos and co-ops in Lauderdale Lakes?
- Much of the city's housing is low-rise condominium and co-op stock in association-governed communities, and we do consider those. The association may need to approve the buyer and issue an estoppel certificate, and for buildings three stories or taller we will ask for the milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study reports.
- Will a cash offer match what I could get by listing?
- Usually not. A cash offer trades price for speed and certainty, and a home in good condition may net more listed on the MLS. If that looks like the better path for your house, we can list it instead.
- My roof is original and the ductwork has moisture problems. Is that a dealbreaker?
- No. We buy as-is, in any condition, which is common for houses built between the late 1950s and the 1980s in this climate. You do not need to repair, clean or show the house.
- Do I pay a commission or closing costs?
- There is no real-estate commission and no listing fee when we buy your house directly, because we are the buyer rather than your agent. Closing costs are separate, and who pays which closing costs is written into the offer before you sign.
- I'm behind on payments or a foreclosure has been filed. What now?
- Foreclosure deadlines are set by the court, and we cannot promise any outcome there. A HUD-approved housing counselor can explain your options at no cost through HUD or 800-569-4287; if what is owed is more than the house is worth, the lender must approve a short sale.
