What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can start a sale conversation without first making the house vacant.
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.
Bring us the problem
A lease question, difficult access, deferred repairs, unpaid rent, or uncertainty about who is staying? Tell us what is going on. We can talk through the house, occupancy, and what you want to happen next.
Call 888-274-5006 to start the conversation.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We discuss what the lease says, who lives there, how access works, the rent and deposit balance, the house condition, and the timing you have in mind.
2. We put the offer and terms in writing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the written offer and terms before deciding whether to sell.
3. The title company handles closing
If you decide to sell, the transaction closes through a title company. We discuss the lease, rent, and security-deposit balance as part of arranging the closing.
Wisconsin rental help
Wisconsin leases, notice, and security deposits
An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place. Tenants do not have to leave just because the house sells, and the new owner takes over the landlord’s obligations under the lease. See Wis. Stat. § 704.09(1)–(3) and the DATCP guide’s “Change of Ownership” section.
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, the usual rule is written notice at least 28 days before the end of the rental period. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required. See Wis. Stat. § 704.19(2)–(4).
The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance are part of the closing discussion when arranging the sale.

Questions about selling with tenants in Eau Claire
Can I sell my Eau Claire house while tenants are living there?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. An ordinary sale does not by itself end the lease, and tenants do not have to move just because the house is sold.
Does selling the house cancel the lease?
No. An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease in place, and the new owner takes over the landlord obligations under it. The tenant does not have to leave just because ownership changes.
Do I need to give 28 days’ notice before selling?
The usual 28-day written-notice rule applies when ending an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, not simply because you are selling. The lease and the reason for ending the tenancy can change what is required.
What happens to the rent and security deposit when I sell?
The lease, rent, and security-deposit balance are part of the closing discussion when arranging the sale.
Can you buy the house if I have not evicted the tenants?
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.
