The Villages, FL · Seller help · Tenant-occupied property
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
We buy houses with tenants in place in The Villages area of Florida. You do not have to get the house empty before you sell to us.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to talk about the house and tenancy. You do not have to arrange a move-out before you call.
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.

2. We put the offer and terms in writing
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Florida leases, move-out timing, and security deposits
Selling the house does not end the tenant’s lease or set a move-out date. If you want the house empty, the lease and any required notice or possession steps affect the timing.
When rental property is sold or transferred, Florida law requires the security deposits and advance rents, earned interest, and an accurate tenant accounting to be transferred to the new owner or rental agent. See Florida Statutes § 83.49(7).
We can talk through the lease, notice and possession timing, and the deposit handoff as part of the sale.
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...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”

The Villages tenant-occupied house questions
Can I sell my house in The Villages while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy houses as-is in The Villages area with tenants in place. The house does not have to be empty for you to sell to us.
Do I have 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.
What happens to the security deposit and advance rent when I sell?
When rental property is sold or transferred, Florida law requires the security deposits and advance rents, earned interest, and an accurate tenant accounting to be transferred to the new owner or rental agent.
Does the sale tell tenants when to move out?
A sale does not end a tenant’s lease or set the move-out date. If you want the house empty, the lease and any required notice or possession steps affect the timing.
