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.
If a planned move would work better for everyone, tell us. We can discuss cash-for-keys as one possible path; it is not a requirement before we talk about buying the house.
Bring us the problem
Tell us what is getting in the way: lease timing, limited access, repairs, rent or deposit questions, or uncertainty about who is living in the house. We can discuss the property and tenancy together without asking you to have every answer first.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what is happening.
What happens next

2. You review written terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The tenancy and deposit are part of the handoff
If you choose to proceed, the written terms and closing discussion can address whether the property transfers occupied, what happens to the deposit, and who takes responsibility for it. The actual lease and records matter to that handoff.

Texas leases, notice, possession, and security deposits
Selling the house does not by itself cancel a lease or set a move-out date. The new owner becomes the landlord. Keep the signed lease, amendments, occupancy details, notices, and deposit records together when planning the handoff.
Texas Property Code § 91.001 — month-to-month notice
For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side can give notice to end it. The tenancy ends on the later of the date in the notice or one month after the notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period; check the actual lease before choosing a date.
Texas Property Code § 92.105 — security deposit when ownership changes
From the day the new owner gets title, that owner is responsible for returning the security deposit. The new owner must give each tenant a signed statement that it bought the property and is responsible for the deposit, with the exact dollar amount.
You remain responsible for deposits you collected until the new owner receives them or takes over that responsibility, unless the written contract says otherwise. Put the amount and transfer arrangement in the written closing terms; a deposit credit to the buyer can be part of the handoff.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Sherman tenant-occupied seller questions
Can I sell my Sherman house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses in Sherman and Grayson County with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer becomes the new landlord, so the occupancy and handoff belong in the sale discussion.
Do I have to make the tenants move out before I call?
No. You can call while the tenants are still there. Tell us whether you want to discuss an occupied handoff or a move-out plan; the lease and any applicable notice still matter.
What happens to the security deposit when a Texas rental is sold?
When the new owner gets title, Texas law makes that owner responsible for returning the deposit and requires a signed statement to each tenant with the exact amount. You remain responsible for a deposit you collected until the buyer receives it or takes over that responsibility, unless the written contract says otherwise. Address the transfer in the written closing terms.
How much notice is needed to end a month-to-month rental?
For a month-to-month tenancy with monthly rent, either side may give notice. The end date is the later of the date stated in the notice or one month after notice is given. A lease signed by both sides can set a different notice period, so check the actual lease.
