What People Say About Working With Us
Oren and the Eagle Cash Buyers team were extremely efficient throughout the entire sales process. Oren answered my calls day and night unlike other people that I have worked with before. He was very attentive to all my concerns and completely put my mind at ease. I am really looking forward to working with him again and highly recommend Oren plus his team.
Eagle Cash Buyers were the best company that I have worked with. The process took about 6 weeks and was closed. Everything was upfront and I was told what was being done every step of the way. This company is highly recommended.
We sold our home to Eagle Cash Buyers. We needed to sell to an investor because we could not afford the cost of repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers stuck to the agreed on price even after finding more damage with the house than originally discussed. Oren communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Eagle Cash Buyers for buying our house and helping us move on with our life.
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would recommend.

Fort Lauderdale Homeowners We Help
No two Fort Lauderdale sales start the same way. One owner has a 1920s bungalow that needs a new roof. Another holds a condo under an association with rules of its own, or a rental with tenants mid-lease, or a house left empty while the owner lives up north. Selling a house for cash in Florida works best when the buyer starts from your details, so tell us what you are dealing with and we will price that in.
An Older House Near Downtown
Houses built between the 1920s and the 1950s can still have original wiring, older plumbing or a roof at the end of its life, and a buyer's inspector will look at each of them. We price the work into our offer, so the repairs are ours to handle, not yours, and you do not need to fix or paint anything before we look.
A Condo or Townhome With an Association
Many Fort Lauderdale condos and townhomes belong to an association, and associations often have their own steps for a sale, such as an approval process, fees or a special assessment. Tell us what yours requires and what you owe it, and we will say whether we can make an offer and how the closing date can be planned around it. Association balances owed are taken from your proceeds at closing.
Water or Storm Damage
Fort Lauderdale has about 165 miles of inland waterways, and on 12 April 2023 about 26 inches of rain fell in a single day at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. A house that has taken on water, or lost roofing to wind, can be hard for a buyer to finance until it is repaired. We buy houses in that condition. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early, because how the claim and any payout are handled is written into the agreement before you sign.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move. We buy occupied houses, and the lease and your tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing: us, or the partner named in the agreement. Give us the rent, the lease end date and whether a deposit is held, and all of it goes into the written offer.

Inherited a House in Broward County
Whether an inherited house can be sold right away depends on how title was held. A house in the deceased owner's name alone may need a Florida probate proceeding first, while one held in a trust or with survivorship rights may not. A Florida probate attorney can tell you which applies. We buy inherited houses as they stand, contents included, and can make an offer while the paperwork is sorted out.

Behind on the Mortgage
A Florida foreclosure generally goes through the courts, and how fast it moves depends on the lender, the servicer and the case. A sale that closes in time may avoid a foreclosure sale if the proceeds cover the payoff, or if the lender agrees in writing to accept less. We cannot promise to stop or delay one. Bring every notice you have as early as you can, and ask a HUD-approved counselor or a Florida attorney what your options are.
You Own Here but Live Somewhere Else
If you own a Fort Lauderdale house from another state, you do not have to fly back to sell it. The closing agent can usually arrange a mobile notary or send the papers to you by mail or electronically, and your proceeds are usually wired to you once the closing agent disburses, which the agent will confirm. An empty house between visits still costs insurance, taxes and upkeep, so it helps to decide early.
Tell us about the property and you will hear back within one business day. Send it on a weekend and that means the next business day. There is no pressure either way.
Get My Cash OfferWhat the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs
Sellers in Fort Lauderdale are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Florida Documentary Stamp Tax and repairs can all come out before you see a dollar. Here is how the three paths compare.
| Cost or Factor | Eagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale) | Traditional Listing (Agent) | Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent Commission | None - $0 | Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $300,000 sale is about $15,000 to $18,000 | Usually none, though a service fee often applies |
| Repairs Before Sale | None - we buy as-is | Often paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for more | Often deductions for repairs after the inspection |
| Florida Documentary Stamp Tax | 70 cents per $100 of the price on the deed; the contract decides who pays. Your share is paid from your proceeds, as set out in the purchase agreement and shown on your settlement statement | The same tax applies | The same tax applies |
| Seller Closing Costs | We pay the closing costs, except your share of any transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, any liens and prorated property taxes are paid from the sale proceeds. | Title, recording and closing fees, plus prorations; amounts vary by contract | A service fee set by each platform |
| Days to Close | Most close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the date | Weeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall through | Set by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas |
| Showings and Inspections | No public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreement | Multiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspection | Usually a company inspection, often with repair deductions |
| Financing Contingency Risk | No buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still apply | Buyer financing can fall through weeks into the process | Low risk, but platform rules apply |
| Condition Required | We buy as-is - no updates needed | Buyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollar | Varies - iBuyers often exclude significant distress |
Your actual net depends on your loan payoff, prorations and contract terms. We walk through it with you before you sign anything. Instant-offer terms vary by company and change often.
Skip the listing process. Close on your schedule, in Fort Lauderdale, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayA Real Call About a House
A seller we spoke with was the administrator of an estate in which, as the seller described it, the local court was the executor of record. The court had to be told the closing date in advance so the sale could be recorded, and the estate's attorney needed the buyer's signature on the contract so the court could be notified. Eagle coordinated with the estate's attorney on that timing. Arrangements like this vary by jurisdiction, so confirm what applies to you locally with an attorney.
We are not saying this was a Florida homeowner. We do not attach a case to a state it did not come from, and we have removed anything that could identify the person.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Florida closing agents who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing agent arranges. Here is how it runs.
Tell Us About Your Property
Call us at (833) 330-1625 or fill out the form on this page. We ask a few basic questions: the address, the condition and your situation. No obligation, no hard pitch. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, foundation and any past damage. See how our closing process works, start to finish.
Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day
We look at the property, recent comparable sales in Fort Lauderdale, and the repair costs, which we take off the price rather than asking you to do the work. You get a written cash offer with no agent commission. It shows the price, the contingencies and your estimated net before you sign. To weigh it against a traditional sale, our Florida page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title or escrow with the closing agent, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Florida Documentary Stamp Tax and every other cost are shown on your settlement statement before closing. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, depending on when the title work clears, or later if you need more time; you pick the date. Anything that could change the price after we agree is written into the agreement, so you can see it before you sign.
How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Fort Lauderdale
These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.
- Ask for proof of funds. A real buyer can show a bank letter or statement quickly. Ask us the same question. If we assign the contract, ask the closing buyer for theirs too.
- Ask whether they intend to assign the contract. Our answer: Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. Assignment itself is not the problem. What matters is whether the right to assign is disclosed, whether the buyer stays accountable under the agreement, and whether the closing structure and deadlines are clear before you sign. Ask any buyer to put those terms in writing.
- Never pay anything up front. No application fee, no inspection fee, no processing fee. If money is moving from you to the buyer before closing, stop.
- Look the company up. Search the buyer's name in the business registry of the state where it was formed, and check that it is active. Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC is registered in Ohio.
- Get the whole offer in writing before you sign, including who pays closing costs and what happens if the buyer walks.
Where We Buy Houses in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County
We buy across Fort Lauderdale and throughout Broward County, from the older streets near downtown and the New River to Poinsettia Heights, Progresso Village and Flagler Village. If your house is in one of the ZIP codes below, or anywhere else in the county, send us the address.
Neighborhoods and areas in Fort Lauderdale
Victoria Park
Developer Alfred G. Kuhn platted Victoria Park in 1925 and named it for his daughter. It now runs from East Broward Boulevard north to Sunrise Boulevard, and from US 1 east to Lake Stranahan. Building went on here over many decades, so a 1920s cottage can sit beside a much newer house. That is why our offer is worked out house by house, from that house's own condition and recent nearby sales.
Sailboat Bend
On a bend of the New River just southwest of downtown, Sailboat Bend is the largest of the city's three locally designated historic districts. The city says it holds more than 550 buildings from the early 1900s to the 1950s, mostly small one-story houses in bungalow and revival styles. A buyer who plans exterior work here should check with the city's historic preservation staff first; selling to us, you change nothing before we look.
Rio Vista
Bounded by US 1 on the west, the Intracoastal Waterway on the east, the New River on the north and SE 12th Street on the south, Rio Vista has more than 1,000 homes. Its first plat came in the 1920s, and it saw a second wave of building after World War II when returning servicemen settled there. With two eras of construction, the age and condition of a Rio Vista house is a per-house question, and we price it that way.
Poinsettia Heights
This northeast Fort Lauderdale neighborhood was first developed as North Ridge by Gill Construction Company in the 1940s and early 1950s. It is zoned for single-family homes, with townhomes and condos allowed only along two main roads, and homes are typically 1,100 to 1,800 square feet. Houses of that era may have been updated to very different degrees, so we base the offer on what yours actually has.
Progresso Village
Progresso Village sits between the Historic Sistrunk and Flagler Village neighborhoods, and the city's Community Redevelopment Agency describes a mix of warehouses and residential properties: single-family homes, townhouses and small to mid-size apartment complexes. New housing and mixed-use projects have been added in recent years. If you own a house or townhouse here, we can make an offer on it as it stands.
Flagler Village
Just north of Las Olas Boulevard and downtown, Flagler Village has been redeveloped since the early 2000s. The city's Community Redevelopment Agency lists new rental buildings, condominiums and townhomes among its housing, alongside art districts and restaurants. If you own a condo or townhome here, the association's rules and any dues owed affect a sale, so send us those details with the address.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including cflca.org, fortlauderdale.gov, janeshistorynook.blogspot.com, en.wikipedia.org and fortlauderdalecra.com. Conditions vary from house to house.
Main ZIP codes: 33301, 33304, 33305, 33306, 33308, 33309, 33311, 33312, 33315, 33316

Broward County and Fort Lauderdale Seller Questions
Before You Sign: Questions From Fort Lauderdale Owners
Condo associations, water and storm damage, tenants, owning from out of state, Florida probate and how a Florida closing works, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Fort Lauderdale house as-is?
Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. A real estate attorney licensed in Florida can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Florida, and do I need an attorney?
A licensed Florida closing agent does. That is usually a title company, and it can also be a real estate attorney. They run the title search, prepare the closing documents, hold and pay out the funds and record the deed in the Broward County public records. Many Florida sales close without either side hiring a lawyer, but an attorney is worth having where there is probate or a title problem. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my Fort Lauderdale house to you stop a foreclosure?
A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In Florida, a foreclosure generally goes through the court. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the court, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Florida can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Florida page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Fort Lauderdale house?
We start with what the house should sell for once it is repaired, judged from recent sales of similar homes nearby. Then we subtract the cost of the work it needs and what it costs us to hold and resell it. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated proceeds. It costs nothing, and you are under no obligation to accept it.
Do you buy in every part of Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. We buy in Victoria Park, Sailboat Bend, Rio Vista, Poinsettia Heights, Progresso Village and Flagler Village, and in every other part of the city. Where the house sits affects the price, not whether we will make an offer.
Can I sell my Fort Lauderdale house with a lien or back taxes on it?
Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Fort Lauderdale?
It depends on how title was held and Florida law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in Florida should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.
My Fort Lauderdale condo has an association. Can I still sell to you?
We consider condos and townhomes as well as houses, so send us the address and the association's details. Many associations have their own steps for a sale, such as an approval process, fees or an assessment. Tell us what applies to yours and we will say whether we can make an offer and how the closing date can be planned around it. Any balance you owe the association comes out of your proceeds at closing.
My house took on water or has storm damage. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. We price water, wind and roof damage into the offer, so you do not need to repair or clear out anything first. If an insurance claim is open, mention it on your first call, since how the claim and any payout are handled goes into the written agreement before you sign.
I have tenants in my Fort Lauderdale rental. Can I still sell?
Yes. We buy occupied houses, and the lease and your tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing. You do not need to wait for the lease to end. Tell us the rent, the lease end date and whether a deposit is held.
Do I have to be in Fort Lauderdale to close?
No. The closing agent can usually send a mobile notary to you or send the papers by mail or electronically, and your proceeds are usually wired to you once the closing agent disburses, which the agent will confirm. Owners in another state sell this way often.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, when you own the land under it and the land is part of the sale. If you own both the home and the lot, in Fort Lauderdale or elsewhere in Broward County, we can make an offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a lot you rent is not something we buy.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Florida among them. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, and not every one of them is five stars. The offer, the price and the closing date are written down before you sign anything.
Will Eagle Cash Buyers buy my house itself, or assign the contract?
Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Fort Lauderdale house to you?
We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Fort Lauderdale: 70 cents per $100 of the price on the deed; the contract decides who pays.
Eagle Cash Buyers is not a law firm, title company or tax advisor. This information is general and is not legal, title or tax advice. Laws, procedures and transaction costs vary by state and locality, and the purchase agreement and closing documents control each transaction.
