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. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
We discuss the house as it stands, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what you want to happen next. If helping tenants move may work better for everyone, tell us that too so we can discuss the situation.

An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, and the buyer takes the property subject to the remaining lease term. Selling does not by itself make the tenant move. Read the lease and include the current occupancy in the handoff discussion.
Ending a tenancy depends on the lease and the applicable notice rules. A sale alone does not give you a move-out date; check the lease and the reason for ending the tenancy before making a possession plan.
Michigan Compiled Laws §554.134 — tenancy termination notices
A sale does not automatically release you from responsibility for the deposit. One way to end that responsibility is to give the deposit to the new owner and notify the tenant by ordinary mail of the transfer and the new owner's name and address. Bring the deposit records and any tenant notices to the closing discussion.
