What we do
We talk through the house and tenancy together: who lives there, what the lease says, how access works, what rent and deposits are involved, and what repairs or timing you are weighing.

Oklahoma leases, possession, and security deposits
Yes, you can sell with tenants in place. Oklahoma gives the new landlord the same rights and obligations as the former landlord, so the lease carries over to the buyer. A sale is not a move-out date; the lease and any separate notice or court order guide possession. See 41 O.S. §41-114.
The lease and possession after a sale
We can talk through the lease, who is living in the house, and any notice or court order as we discuss the handoff.
Security deposits when the landlord's interest ends by sale
Within a reasonable time, the person holding the tenant's deposit must either transfer it to the successor landlord and give the tenant written notice of the transfer, including the successor's name and address, or return the deposit to the tenant. The successor who receives the deposit takes the landlord's rights and obligations for that money.
The transfer-or-return rule is in 41 O.S. §41-115(C)–(D).
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”

Questions and contact
Stillwater tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my Stillwater house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses in Stillwater and Payne County, Oklahoma, with tenants still living there. Tell us what is happening with the house and tenancy; you can call while you are still sorting things out.
Does selling the house cancel the lease or set a move-out date?
The lease stays in place when the house sells, and the sale itself is not a move-out date. Oklahoma gives the new landlord the same rights and obligations as the former landlord. The lease and any separate notice or court order guide possession.
What happens to a security deposit when the house is sold?
If the landlord’s interest ends by sale, the person holding the deposit must, within a reasonable time, either transfer it to the successor landlord and give the tenant written notice naming the successor and giving the successor’s address, or return the deposit to the tenant. A successor who receives it takes the landlord’s rights and obligations for that deposit.
Do I need to evict before I call?
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.
What information is useful when we talk?
Tell us what you already know about the tenants, lease, access, rent, repairs, and deposit. You can call while you are still sorting it out.
