Share the address and what you know about the lease, occupancy, access, or repairs.
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 means a tenant and landlord agree on a payment for the tenant to move. If that would work better for everyone, we can discuss whether it fits this house and tenancy; it is separate from an eviction.
A lease question, access that is hard to arrange, repairs that keep getting put off, or a difficult conversation about the tenancy? Tell us what is happening with the house and the people living there. You can call with the question you have; you do not have to settle every detail first.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the Martinsburg or Berkeley County property.
Tell us the address, who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house’s condition, repairs, and the timing you are considering. If you have them, bring the lease, deposit records, and tenant notices so the handoff can be discussed.
We talk through the property as it stands and the occupancy arrangement. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
The lease and each tenant’s deposit are part of the handoff discussion. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
For questions about county construction permits or inspections for repair work, contact Berkeley County Building Permits and Inspections. Confirm that the County is the right office for the property’s exact address; this office is not a rental or tenant-rights office.

Berkeley County municipalities lists the City of Martinsburg separately from the Town of Hedgesville.
Selling the house does not by itself cancel the lease or require a tenant to move. The lease remains part of the handoff when ownership changes.
When leased property is sold, the buyer steps into the landlord’s position and can enforce the lease. The tenant keeps the same lease rights against the buyer that they had against you. The change in ownership alone does not end those rights or make the property vacant.
Whoever is the landlord when the tenancy ends must return any deposit owed, even if you received it originally. The purchase contract and closing statement should account for each deposit. Give the buyer the lease and deposit records so the closing can account for each tenant.
When a tenancy ends, the deposit minus allowed deductions is due within 60 days, or within 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first. The statute defines a “notice period” in W. Va. Code §37-6A-1.
