Share the address and what is happening with the house and tenancy.
USA Home Buyers buys houses in Lewiston and Androscoggin County. 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. Tell us what the lease says and what is happening with the occupants.
If a tenant move-out arrangement may work better for everyone, we can discuss it as part of the situation. The lease and Maine's rules still matter; a sale does not erase tenant rights.
Trouble with the lease, getting access, or keeping up with repairs? Tell us what is happening, even if you do not have it all sorted out.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
Tell us the Lewiston address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, and what repairs or timing concerns you have. We can start with what you know.
We talk through the property and whether the tenants may stay in place or a move-out arrangement may fit. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the proposed price and terms before deciding.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
If you choose to move forward, the title company coordinates the closing paperwork. The lease, occupancy, and security-deposit details are part of the handoff; Maine's deposit rules are below.
Use the Judicial Branch's Lewiston District Court page for local court information if a court matter is involved. A court listing is not a decision about what a particular lease or tenant situation requires.
The county Registry is a starting point for deed and recorded-property research. Recorded land documents can help with property records; they do not decide lease terms or tenant rights.
Yes, you can sell with tenants still living there. A sale does not cancel the tenants' rights. The buyer steps in as the new landlord, and a written lease stays in force for its term. The sale alone does not make the property vacant.
A month-to-month tenancy at will generally takes at least 30 days' written notice to end. A sale is not one of the reasons Maine allows a shorter notice. See 14 M.R.S. §6002.
No later than closing, the seller must either transfer each deposit to the buyer with an accounting or return it to the tenant, less lawful deductions. If you transfer a deposit, you must mail each tenant notice with the buyer's name and address and a copy of the accounting. Give the buyer written proof of the accounting and transfer at closing. Once that is done, you are released from further liability for those funds.
The buyer then takes responsibility for the transferred deposit, must keep it separate from the buyer's own money, and must return it as Maine law requires. See 14 M.R.S. §6035, transfer of a security deposit and §6038, the new owner's responsibility.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Sixty-six years old, widowed, and the house had more property taxes than I wanted to keep paying — $5,800 a year in NH on a fixed income. My son in Boston had been after me to move south. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number, no open houses, no strangers in my house. Closed in eight days. I was in Massachusetts before spring.”
“My parents owned a house near the Millyard for 40 years. After my mother passed, my brother and I needed to settle the estate quickly — we both have jobs and families, neither of us lives in Manchester. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the next day and we closed in 11 days. The whole process was straightforward.”
“I relocated to Boston for work and had my Manchester house on the market for three months with an agent — two failed offers, one buyer who couldn't get financing. USA Home Buyers gave me a written number the next morning and we closed before my lease on the new apartment ran out.”
Yes. You can discuss selling while tenants are still there. A sale does not by itself cancel their rights or a written lease, and USA Home Buyers buys houses with tenants in place.
No. 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.
No. A sale does not cancel the tenants’ rights. The buyer steps in as the new landlord, and a written lease stays in force for its term. A sale by itself does not require the tenants to move.
It generally takes at least 30 days’ written notice to end a tenancy at will. A sale is not one of the reasons Maine allows shorter notice. See the Maine statute linked in the notice section below.
By closing, the seller must either transfer each deposit to the buyer with an accounting or return it to the tenant, less lawful deductions. If it is transferred, the seller must mail each tenant the buyer’s name and address and a copy of the accounting, and give the buyer written proof at closing. The buyer then takes responsibility for the funds.
If you have them, bring the property address, lease, rent and deposit records, occupancy and access details, repair concerns, and any written tenant communications. You can call with what you know; you do not need to have every detail organized first.
