You don't 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.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

What happens next
1. We discuss the house and tenancy
We talk about the Middlebury property, its condition, who lives there, the lease, access, deposit records, and whether you are considering an occupied or vacant handoff. Start with what you know.
2. You receive the offer and terms in writing
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. The closing plan accounts for occupancy
The lease continues after the sale, so the closing plan covers occupancy, the deposit handoff, and the buyer's responsibilities.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Vermont's property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Vermont leases, notice, possession, and deposits
You can sell with tenants still living there. The lease continues after the sale, so occupancy and the deposit handoff belong in the closing plan.
If you want the house vacant, Vermont's statewide no-cause rule for a tenancy without a written rental agreement requires at least 60 days' notice for a tenant who has lived there two years or less, or 90 days if they have lived there longer. For weekly rent, the minimum is 21 days.
If there is no written rental agreement and the landlord has contracted to sell, Vermont requires at least 30 days' actual notice. Read 9 V.S.A. § 4467(c)–(e), Vermont's tenancy-termination rules.
We talk through the deposit balance, who holds it, and how the buyer's responsibilities will be handled at closing.
