A Lis Pendens filing, delinquent property taxes, or an open code enforcement lien can move fast. We buy Fort Lauderdale homes in this situation for cash, often closing before a scheduled auction date or before fines keep accruing.
Confidential. No obligation. Takes about 60 seconds.
No obligation. Where a case stands in the process does not disqualify a property.
These are the most common reasons Fort Lauderdale homeowners facing default or municipal issues come to us instead of listing traditionally.
A Lis Pendens has been filed or a foreclosure case is underway. We can move quickly to close before a scheduled auction date.
Unpaid Broward County property taxes or a sold tax certificate. These balances are factored into closing rather than paid out of pocket first.
Open violations or daily fines from the city. We handle resolution as part of closing so fines stop accruing.
A room, garage conversion, or addition built without permits. We factor permit status into the offer instead of requiring retroactive permitting.
Broward County foreclosure cases move through a defined court timeline, from Lis Pendens filing to final judgment to auction. Selling earlier in that timeline generally means more options and a smoother closing, but a cash sale can often still be completed later in the process too.
Once a Lis Pendens is recorded, the case is in Broward County's public record. You can typically still list or sell the property directly during this stage.
As a scheduled auction date gets closer, timing becomes critical. We prioritize a fast closing process to try to complete the sale beforehand.
If you're working with a lender, servicer, or attorney on a short sale or payoff, we can coordinate our offer and closing timeline directly with them.
Every offer reflects the property's real status — nothing needs to be resolved or paid off before we can present a number.
The same straightforward process we use across Fort Lauderdale, built to move quickly when a court timeline is involved.
Tell us where things stand — Lis Pendens filed, delinquent taxes, open code violations, or a scheduled auction date, if known.
We evaluate the property and any outstanding balances, then present a no-obligation cash offer, usually within 24 hours.
Accept the offer and we prioritize a fast closing timeline. We handle lien and tax resolution through our Broward County closing team.
If your situation overlaps with an estate sale or a specific neighborhood, these pages go into more detail.
Yes, in most cases you can sell right up until the foreclosure auction date. A Lis Pendens filing starts the formal foreclosure timeline, but it does not by itself prevent you from selling the property before the sale date.
We factor delinquent property taxes and outstanding tax certificates into the closing process, structuring the sale so those balances are resolved from proceeds at closing rather than paid out of pocket first.
Yes. We purchase properties with open code violations, accumulated liens, or daily fines and handle resolution as part of closing, which stops fines from continuing to add up.
Yes. Unpermitted work is common in older Fort Lauderdale housing stock. We factor permit status into the offer rather than requiring retroactive permitting before the sale.
Most sellers can close in as little as 7 to 14 days once an offer is accepted, which is often fast enough to complete a sale before a scheduled Broward County foreclosure auction date. Timing depends on where the case currently stands.
