Can I sell a house in foreclosure in Broward County?
Yes. In Florida a foreclosure has to go through the Circuit Court, so there is usually time to sell between the lawsuit and the Clerk's sale. You can sell for cash any time before the Clerk files the certificate of sale, pay off the lender at closing, and keep any equity that is left.
We handle Broward County closings through a Florida title company, which coordinates payoffs with the Broward County Clerk of Court records.
How foreclosure works in Broward County
Every foreclosure situation in Broward County follows Florida law. These are the stages and the local offices involved.
Missed payments
Federal servicing rules generally keep a lender from filing until a loan is more than 120 days behind. Use this window — it is the cheapest time to sell.
Lawsuit and lis pendens
The lender sues in the Broward County Circuit Court (17th Judicial Circuit) and records a lis pendens. Once you are served you have 20 days to respond.
Final judgment
If the court rules for the lender, it sets a sale date, normally 20–35 days after the judgment (s. 45.031, Fla. Stat.).
Clerk's sale
The Broward County Clerk of Court auctions the home, usually online. You can still pay off or sell until the Clerk files the certificate of sale (s. 45.0315).
After the sale
Any money above the debt is surplus. Claim it with the Clerk — surplus not paid out within a year of the sale is reported as unclaimed (s. 45.032).
