Sell a Pompano Beach, FL house after an eviction, as it stands: what the writ of possession settles and what it does not, the belongings left behind, tenant damage, unpaid balances, and re-rent versus sell. Written offer within 24 hours of the visit.
The writ was served, the locks are changed, and you are standing in a Pompano Beach house you have not seen the inside of since the rent stopped. Doors off the hinges in the Sanders Park bungalow. A kitchen that will not survive a cleaning. A garage full of someone else's furniture that Florida law may not let you simply throw out. A utility bill, a yard the city has noticed, and a mortgage you have been paying from your own account for months. For a lot of owners the question of what to do next, re-rent, renovate and list, or sell as it stands, has already answered itself by the time they reach the front door.
Pompano Beach Cash Buyers buys houses in post-eviction condition across Pompano Beach and North Broward: damaged, full of abandoned property, behind on utilities, taxes or code. One visit, a written offer within 24 hours of the visit, and a closing in about a week once title is clear. This page explains what the writ settled and what it did not, how to treat the belongings, how we price tenant damage on a 1974-era house, the balances the tenancy left, and how to decide between re-renting, listing and selling.
What the writ of possession settled, and what it did not
The eviction case in Broward County Court ended with a judgment for possession and a writ of possession, which the Broward Sheriff's Office carried out. That gives you the house back. It does not give you the rent. Unpaid rent and damages are a separate money claim, and collecting on it is a separate effort that depends on whether the former tenant has anything to collect. The deposit you held is applied under the statute's accounting rules, which your attorney handled or can handle now. The judgment is yours whether or not you sell the house, and selling does not affect it. We do not ask you to credit the judgment or the damage estimate against the price. The offer prices the house as it stands today, not the case that got you here.
The belongings the tenant left behind
Florida has specific rules for personal property a tenant leaves after moving out or being removed, and what you may do depends in part on what your lease says about abandoned property. Getting it wrong invites a claim from a tenant who otherwise has nothing left to argue. The attorney who handled your eviction can tell you in a short call whether notice is required for your lease. If you sell to Pompano Beach Cash Buyers, there is a simpler path: leave everything where it is. We take the house with its contents at closing and handle the property as the new owner under the same rules. You do not rent a dumpster, hire a crew or sort a stranger's belongings. If you want the certainty of resolving it before closing, your attorney's notice can run during the title period.
How we price tenant damage on a 1974-era house
Post-eviction damage follows a pattern: drywall and doors, flooring, kitchen cabinets and appliances, bathroom fixtures broken or removed, wiring tampered with, pests, trash and odor. Underneath that is the house itself, which in Pompano Beach is often close to the 1974 median build year and may still have its original roof, panel and plumbing. We walk the house once, price a full interior renovation where the damage calls for it, and add whatever the roof and systems need. The written offer explains the number and has no inspection contingency, so what turns up under the carpet or behind the trash does not come back to you. There is no repair list, no credit negotiation and no appraisal. If the damage turns out lighter than it looks, that is our good fortune, not a reason to reopen the price.
The balances the tenancy left behind, and who pays them
If the mortgage fell behind, the arrears are part of the payoff paid from the price at closing; if the lender filed a judicial foreclosure and recorded a lis pendens, a public notice that the house is in litigation, a sale that pays the loan in full before the clerk's sale leads the lender's attorney to cancel the sale and dismiss. If property taxes went delinquent on April 1, a tax certificate sold on or before June 1 is redeemed at closing with its minimum 5 percent charge. If Pompano Beach Code Compliance opened a case over the yard during the tenancy, Statute 162.06(5) requires written disclosure at sale, and any lien recorded after a Special Magistrate order is paid on the settlement statement. Your net is the price minus the payoff and liens; we pay the customary closing costs.
Re-rent, renovate and list, or sell as it stands
Re-renting means the renovation first, then screening, then a new lease, a new deposit held under Statute 83.49 and every notice all over again, in the business that just cost you an eviction. Renovating and listing means the same renovation, then two to three months on the Pompano Beach market against about seven months of supply, a financed buyer's inspection, appraisal and insurance, and a commission of about $23,000 on a sale near the $385,000 median. Selling as it stands means one visit and a closing in about a week, with the damage priced once and the contents left behind. Our offer is below what a renovated house would list for. Put the renovation budget, the listing months and the carrying costs you have already absorbed on one side, our number on the other, and decide from there.
How the sale runs on a post-eviction house
Send the address, a description of the condition, and the list of what is owed: mortgage, taxes, utilities, association, code. We visit within a day or two and deliver a written offer within 24 hours of the visit. When you accept, the Broward County title company runs the search, orders payoffs, clears the liens from the price and closes in about a week once title is clear, or on a later date you choose. Leave the abandoned property, the trash and the damage; they are ours at closing. You sign at the title company, or with a mobile notary if you live outside Florida. If the damage is light and you want to try the business again, we will say so. If you are done, the offer is the end of the story in Pompano Beach.
