Tell us about the house and tenancy.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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.
We talk through who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what repairs or timing questions are on your mind. We can also talk about whether helping the tenants move may work better for everyone.
Tell us what is happening: a lease question, limited access, needed repairs, or a tenant who may not want to move. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. You do not have to resolve every tenancy question before you contact us.
We discuss the property, who is living there, the lease, access, condition, and your timing. If you have lease or deposit details, we can talk them through together.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Read the written price and terms before you decide.

No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

The buyer takes the house subject to the lease and becomes the new landlord. Tennessee's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act is not statewide: it applies only in counties that had more than 75,000 people in the 2010 census. The deposit and notice rules below apply in counties covered by the Act. Read the Tennessee law describing the county coverage threshold.
A landlord must keep each security deposit in an account used only for deposits and tell tenants where it is held (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-301). Unless agreed otherwise, after a good-faith sale the seller is released from responsibility for later events under the lease only after the tenant receives written notice of the sale and the deposit is transferred to the buyer (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-305). Read the Tennessee law on notice of sale and deposit transfer.
In a county covered by the Act, ending a month-to-month tenancy takes written notice at least 30 days before the rent date named in the notice. A week-to-week tenancy takes at least 10 days' written notice (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-28-512). A fixed-term lease may require a different approach.
