What we do

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place, so the conversation can start before you make a vacancy plan.

You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.

If helping a tenant move may work better for everyone, we can talk through that possibility alongside the house and the tenancy. You do not have to decide on eviction before you call.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, access that is hard to arrange, or repairs that have become a strain? Tell us what is happening. We can discuss the tenancy and the house as they are, without asking you to solve every detail first.

Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.

What happens next

We talk through the house, lease, current occupancy, access, condition, and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know; you can call even if some details are unclear.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Virginia lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules

A sale does not cancel the lease. The buyer steps into the landlord's place: the buyer can enforce the lease, and the tenant keeps the lease's protections against the buyer. Selling by itself does not make the tenant move out. Ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Virginia's notice rules.

The landlord must tell the tenant about the sale and give the buyer's name, address, and a phone number. This is part of the handoff; the sale does not erase the tenant's rights under the lease.

When ownership transfers, the seller must hand the tenants' security deposits, plus any interest earned on them, to the buyer. If a property manager holds the deposits, the owner must ask for them in writing before closing, and the manager must tell each tenant the deposit went to the new owner. The new owner must return any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if the deposit was not passed along.

We can talk through the lease and occupancy while you consider the sale; you do not have to settle a move-out question before contacting us.

Questions and contact

Collinsville tenant-occupied seller questions

Can I sell my Collinsville house while tenants are still living there?

Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place, so you can talk with us before deciding how to handle the occupancy.

Does selling the house cancel the lease?

No. A sale does not cancel the lease. The buyer steps into the landlord's place and can enforce the lease, while the tenant keeps the lease's protections against the buyer. Ending the tenancy still depends on the lease and Virginia notice rules.

What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?

At the time ownership transfers, the seller must hand the tenants’ security deposits and any earned interest to the buyer. If a property manager holds the money, the owner must ask for it in writing before closing, and the manager must tell each tenant the deposit went to the new owner. The new owner must return any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if the deposit was not passed along.

Do tenants have to move out before I call?

No. You can talk with us while the house is occupied. A sale by itself does not end the lease or decide possession; the lease and Virginia notice rules still matter.

Can we talk through access or repair problems?

Yes. Tell us what is happening with access, repairs, or the tenancy. We can discuss the house as it stands without asking you to arrange a move-out before you call.
