The Fort Lauderdale market right now
Fort Lauderdale and greater Broward County have seen carrying costs surge — homeowner insurance premiums, property taxes, and for the many waterfront and condo owners, association fees and post-Surfside reserve assessments. Values that climbed fast during the boom have left some owners underwater when they need to sell. With Florida foreclosure filings ticking upward again and Florida being a judicial-foreclosure state, Broward homeowners generally get a court-driven timeline that leaves real room to arrange a short sale before things reach a final judgment.

What a short sale does for you
Avoid foreclosure & its lasting damage
A completed short sale lets you move on without the long-term credit and emotional toll of a foreclosure or bankruptcy on your record.
A cash offer ready on day one
We have private investors lined up to buy your home as-is for cash. Lenders prioritize cash offers, which keeps your sale moving.
Negotiate away the deficiency
Our goal is a full release — so the bank can't come after you for the difference between what's owed and the sale price.
Stay in your home through the process
You can keep living in the house while we work, and we're often able to postpone scheduled foreclosure sale dates.
You pay nothing
Every fee is paid by the bank or the buyer and itemized on the closing statement. There is never an upfront cost to you.
Buy again sooner than you think
Programs exist that let many sellers qualify for a new mortgage in as little as a year or two after a short sale closes.
Short-sale questions from Fort Lauderdale homeowners
- How do I sell my house before foreclosure in Fort Lauderdale?
- It starts with a free, confidential review of your loan and your home's value. If a short sale makes sense, we market the property and negotiate directly with your lender to accept a payoff below the balance. Because Broward County foreclosures move through the courts, there's usually enough time to close a short sale and avoid a foreclosure judgment against you.
- My Las Olas condo association keeps adding assessments — can a short sale help?
- Yes. Rising HOA and condo assessments across Fort Lauderdale, many tied to newer Florida structural-reserve rules, are a common reason owners fall behind. A short sale can release you from the mortgage and let you move on. We handle the lender negotiations, and because the lender pays the commission, there's no cost to you for our help.
- Will a short sale hurt my credit as much as foreclosure in Broward County?
- Generally, no. While a short sale does affect your credit, it usually does less damage than a completed foreclosure and often lets you re-qualify for a new mortgage sooner — commonly in about two to four years rather than the roughly seven a foreclosure can carry. Many Broward homeowners choose a short sale for exactly this fresh-start reason.
