The Building Buyer

The Building Buyer LLC, whose BBB file names Charles Hanlon as managing member, is a cash buyer based in Fort Lauderdale with a BBB business start of November 2016 that matches its site. It is a specialist: it says it buys only inherited and probate houses, and its pages name tenants in place and code violations, both common in Broward estates. Its office address matches on its site, BBB and Google, and its BBB file shows no complaints. The trade-off: no condo or mobile-home line, an offer tied to the property appraiser’s assessment rather than a formula, an Investors page that sells properties to other investors, and BBB accreditation only since July 2025. Ask them this before you sign: “Will The Building Buyer LLC take title at closing, or could this contract be assigned to one of the investors on your list?”

Is The Building Buyer a fit for your sale?

The Building Buyer may be worth comparing if its service area, property focus, and written terms match your needs. Availability and final terms depend on your property and ZIP code.

Potential strengths

States “We can often close in less than 30 days when the estate is ready” and “There are no real estate commissions, no listing fees, and no upfront costs of any kind. We pay all closing costs.”
Its address, 800 E Broward Blvd, Ste 700, matches on its site, BBB and Google, and its November 2016 BBB start matches its site
BBB A+, accredited since July 18, 2025, with no complaints in the last three years; 4.9 Google rating from 101 reviews, checked November 1, 2026
Names tenants in place and code violations: “We buy inherited and probate houses across Florida with tenants in place” and, on its Broward page, “We buy as-is, so you don’t have to fix the violation first”

What to confirm

It says “We only focus on inherited and probate properties”; condos and mobile homes are not named
Its offer is “based on the Broward County Property Appraiser’s current assessment and real fair market value”; it names inputs, not a formula
It runs an “Investors” page (“Are you an Investor looking to purchase properties from us?”) and does not say whether it assigns contracts
BBB accreditation dates only from July 2025, and we did not verify that Ste 700 is a staffed office
We counted hurricane damage from one homepage list of situations it handles besides probate: “Tax Liens • Probate • Hurricane Damage • Foreclosure”. Without that line it would score 83.0 and still rank fourth
