We buy houses in Pompano Beach, FL for cash, as-is: who the cash buyers in Broward County are, how a direct sale to an investor works step by step, what you skip, and when listing is the better choice. Written offer within 24 hours of the visit.
Type 'we buy houses Pompano Beach' into a search bar and most of what comes back is national advertising. Those sites collect your address and phone number and sell the inquiry to whichever investor pays for it. The person who calls back has never crossed the S.C. Fox Memorial Bridge, does not know that a 1960s block house in Cresthaven is a different purchase from a Palm Aire condo or a canal home in Pompano Isles, and prices from a spreadsheet. Pompano Beach's housing stock is old, with a median year built of 1974, and more than 32 percent of the city's buildings sit in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. Those two facts shape what every house here is worth, and a formula does not see them.
Pompano Beach Cash Buyers is the actual buyer. We buy single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes and small rentals in Pompano Beach and across North Broward, directly from the owner, in whatever condition they are in. We pay cash, so there is no lender, no appraisal and no financing that falls through. We pay the customary closing costs and there is no commission. This page explains who buys houses for cash in Broward County, how a direct sale to an investor works from first call to closing, and how to tell a real buyer from a lead broker.
Who buys houses for cash in Pompano Beach, and why here
Cash buyers in Broward County fall into four groups. Local investors who repair houses and resell or rent them. Large funds that price by algorithm and seldom visit. Wholesalers who put a house under contract and assign that contract to another buyer, which Florida law allows. And lead companies that are not buyers at all. Each produces a different experience: the fund's number is formulaic, the wholesaler's depends on finding an end buyer, and the lead company's call is a sales pitch.
We buy here because Pompano Beach gives a cash buyer real work to do. The median house and condo were built in 1974. Hurricane Wilma tore up roofs across the city in October 2005, and Irma in September 2017 did its worst Broward damage in Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach. Everything east of A1A is a designated coastal zone, and new tidal flood maps took effect on July 31, 2024. Oceanfront condos built in the early 1970s are deep into Broward County's building safety inspection cycles (25 years, then every 10), and a 2026 listing in one building on South Ocean Boulevard advertised a $70,000-per-unit special assessment. Houses and units like these are hard to sell to a financed buyer and well suited to a cash purchase.
How a direct sale to us works, step by step
There are four steps, and none of them require you to fix, clean or stage anything.
- Tell us about the house. The address, the condition as you see it, whether anyone lives there, and whether a mortgage, lien, estate or court case is attached. None of those change the answer; they change the paperwork.
- One visit. We walk the property once, usually within a day or two. It is not a buyer's inspection with a repair list. It is how we price a house we will own as-is.
- A written offer within 24 hours of the visit. The price, a closing date range, and a statement that we pay the customary closing costs. No commission, because no agent is involved.
- Closing at a Florida title company. The title company searches the Broward County official records, orders payoffs, prepares the deed and settlement statement, records the deed and wires your money.
Your net is the price minus whatever is owed on the house: a mortgage payoff, delinquent taxes, a code lien, an association balance. Nothing is taken out for commission or for our side of the closing costs. A clean file can close in about a week; a later date is yours to choose.
What as-is means, and what you skip
As-is means the house changes hands in its present condition and the price already accounts for that condition. You are not asked to replace the roof Wilma loosened, pull a permit for the enclosed porch, clear an open case with Pompano Beach Code Compliance, or empty the garage. We look at the property before the offer is final, and the offer is not reopened at closing because of an inspection, since there is no inspection contingency.
You also skip the parts of a listing that cost time and privacy: photos, lockbox showings, open houses, buyer inspection negotiations, the appraisal, and a commission that on a home near the Pompano Beach median of around $385,000 comes to roughly $23,000 at six percent.
As-is is not a lower standard of honesty. Florida sellers must disclose known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable, and since October 1, 2024 a flood disclosure form is required at or before contract: prior flood claims, federal flood assistance, and whether you carry flood insurance. Tell us what you know and it goes into the price once rather than becoming a dispute later.
The Pompano Beach market right now, and when listing is the better choice
The numbers matter for the decision. The median sale price in Pompano Beach is around $385,000. Homes are taking roughly two to three months to sell, there are well over a thousand active listings in the city, and supply sits at about seven months. Sellers of older homes compete against deep inventory and long marketing times, and financed buyers negotiate accordingly.
Listing with an agent is still the right tool for a house in good condition when you can wait. If your roof is young enough that an insurer will write a policy without argument, your systems work, you are not under a deadline, and you can carry the mortgage, taxes and insurance for several more months, a listing will usually net you more than any cash buyer, even after commission. We will say so when that is your situation. A direct sale earns its place when the house has problems a lender or insurer will not accept, when a date is real, or when the cost and stress of carrying the property are worth more to you than the difference in price.
What a fair offer looks like, and how to tell a real buyer from a lead broker
We price from what the house would sell for after it is repaired and updated, using renovated sales on nearby streets rather than the citywide median. From that we subtract the realistic repair cost, the cost of owning the house while the work is done, the cost of reselling it, and a margin that keeps a buying business solvent. We show that reasoning with the written offer.
A few questions sort buyers from brokers. Who will be on the deed at closing? A real buyer names its company; a lead site says one of its partners. Will someone see the house before the number is final? Does the contract let the buyer cancel for any reason during an inspection period, or assign the contract to a stranger without your consent? Is there an earnest money deposit held by a Florida title company? Who pays closing costs, and is there any fee to you? We answer all of these in writing, and anyone else who wants your house should too.
The houses we buy in Pompano Beach
- Inherited homes and estates in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit's probate division in Fort Lauderdale, including houses still in a parent's name and houses with the furniture inside.
- Homes in the flood zone, from Pompano Isles and Leisureville to the beach side east of the Intracoastal, with open or closed claims.
- Condos and townhomes facing milestone inspections, special assessments or association disputes, from the oceanfront towers to Palm Aire.

- Homes behind on the mortgage, taxes or code fines, including houses already set for sale on the Clerk's online foreclosure site and parcels with tax certificates sold.
- Houses that simply need too much in Cresthaven, Kendall Green, Collier City, Sanders Park or Pompano Beach Highlands: old roofs, old wiring, settling, termites, mold, hoarding, unpermitted additions.
- Houses owned from far away, whether the owner is in Coral Springs or in another state.
Timeline options, out-of-town sellers, and closing in Broward County
The clock on a cash closing is set by the title company, not by a lender. Once the search of the Broward County official records is clean and payoffs are in hand, a closing can be scheduled in about a week. A mortgage payoff letter, an association estoppel letter (the document that states what is owed to a condo or homeowners association), or a probate order from the circuit court can add time. You can also sign now and close later: after a move, after the court issues letters, after the school year. Deeds and liens are recorded at the county's Records, Taxes and Treasury Division at 115 S Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale.
If you live outside Pompano Beach, you do not need to fly in. We can see the house with a neighbor, a property manager or a lockbox, send the offer by email, and close with a mobile notary where you live. The title company wires your proceeds.
This week: send the address and a few lines about what is going on. We will ask a handful of questions, arrange the visit, and put a written offer in your hands within 24 hours of it. There is no obligation and nothing to sign to get the number.
