We start with the property and the tenancy: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what rent and deposits are involved, and what timing you are considering. You can talk through the sale without solving every notice or possession question first.
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.
Cash-for-keys is the name commonly used for a move-out arrangement that includes an agreed payment. If it is part of the conversation, put the amount, timing, access, and other terms in writing and have them checked against the lease and applicable process.
