What we do

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 about the property and tenancy.

Bring us the problem

Lease timing, access, repairs, unpaid rent, or a move-out conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the house and tenancy. Call 888-274-5006 whenever you want to talk.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house

    Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, the house's condition, and the timing you have in mind. If available, keep the lease, deposit records, and notices nearby. You can start the conversation with what you know.

  2. 2. We put the offer and terms in writing

    We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can read the written offer and written terms before you decide whether to commit.

    Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

  3. 3. The title company closes the sale

    The title company handles the closing documents. Give the closing professional the lease, deposit records, and notices so the tenant and deposit handoff can be addressed with the sale.

Local help for a Portsmouth rental

Contact the office that matches the property and question. These offices can point you to local code or land-record information; they do not decide a lease or deposit dispute.

City of Portsmouth Zoning Enforcement

The City says its Housing Code sets minimum standards for residential rental dwelling units and that Zoning Enforcement handles alleged building, housing, and land-use ordinance violations. For a City code question, the office is at 1 Junkins Avenue; call (603) 610-7279. Ask the City about the actual address and any notice you received.

City of Portsmouth Renter's Resources

The City's renter-resource page is an information directory for local housing contacts. It may help identify a resource for a tenant question; it does not determine what applies to a particular lease or property.

Rockingham County Registry of Deeds

The County Registry is the local source for recorded deeds and other land documents. Its listed office is at 102 North Road in Brentwood. Contact the Registry to confirm current access and details for a record request.

New Hampshire tenant rights and security deposits

Yes, you can sell while tenants are still living in the house. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or require tenants to move; the lease and any lawful termination notices still matter.

Security deposits

Where New Hampshire's security-deposit law applies, the seller transfers the deposit and any interest due to the buyer when the deed is delivered or within five days afterward. The tenant must receive registered or certified mail naming the new deposit holder and giving that person's address. The transfer generally shifts repayment responsibility to the buyer, subject to any inconsistent landlord-tenant agreement. Interest is due after a deposit has been held for a year. Some small landlords are exempt. Give the closing professional the leases, deposit records, and notices.

Read the official rules for deposit coverage and exemptions (RSA 540-A:5) and deposit transfer and interest (RSA 540-A:6).
