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.
We can discuss the house with its current occupants. The lease and the law still govern the tenancy after a sale; selling does not itself make the property vacant.
Bring us the problem
Tell us what is happening with the tenancy, access, or repairs. We can talk through the lease term, who lives in the house, what access is available, the condition, and what you want the next step to look like.
Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the Vineland property.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house

2. You get the offer and terms in writing
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The title company prepares for closing
The title company checks ownership and the documents needed for settlement. Lease, deposit, payoff, tax, and title details can be part of that review.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Jersey's realty transfer fee and any applicable graduated percent fee.
A mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Rental help for a Vineland property
The City of Vineland can direct you to the municipal contact for an address-specific rental or property-maintenance question. New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) also publishes statewide rental guidance.
New Jersey DCA: Truth in Renting
The state guide explains general rental rules. It says landlords who do not live in a one- or two-family rental register it with the town clerk; buildings with three or more units register with the state. New Jersey has no statewide rent control, though municipalities may adopt local rules.
New Jersey lease, notice, possession, and deposit rules
Yes, you can sell with tenants in place. The important detail is that a sale does not erase the lease or decide when anyone must move. New Jersey's Anti-Eviction Act protects most residential tenants; the building and tenancy facts matter.
The lease continues after the sale
Selling a rental does not by itself end the existing lease. The buyer and tenant must honor the rental agreement until it expires. For tenants covered by the Act, the lease ending alone is not a reason to evict them or refuse renewal.
Notice and possession go through the law
A tenant covered by the Act may be removed only for a reason the law lists and through a court. Selling the house is not one of those reasons, and the same limits apply to the new owner. A foreclosure alone is not a reason to remove a tenant either.
A narrow owner-occupancy exception
The Act lists an exception for an owner of a building with three or fewer homes who wants to move in. It also lists a sale to a buyer who will live there when the contract requires the house to be empty at closing. That route requires two months' written notice before the court case, and a written lease must have expired before the case can start.
The Act does not cover a building where the owner lives and there are no more than two rental units.
Read the DCA statutory copy for the listed grounds and exceptions
The security deposit follows the property
Within five days after the deed is delivered, the seller must give the buyer the security deposit and the interest the tenant has earned. The seller must also tell the tenant by registered or certified mail who now holds it. The new owner is responsible for the deposit either way.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“After losing my job at ChristianaCare, I fell three months behind on my mortgage. The lender filed a complaint in NCC Superior Court — I had no idea Delaware foreclosure moved that fast. USA Home Buyers explained the judicial timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case progressed. I walked away with $38,000 instead of nothing.”
“The row home on Lancaster Avenue had foundation cracks that had been moving. We called an engineer and they said the back wall had shifted two inches and needed shoring — $48,000 estimate. No bank would finance a buyer with a structural issue like that. USA Home Buyers came out, made an offer two days later. Closed in thirteen days.”
“Seventy-one years old and my husband is in a nursing facility on Foulk Road. I needed to sell the house to cover his care costs. The whole situation is hard enough without adding a six-month listing process. USA Home Buyers were understanding and quick. Offer in twenty-four hours, closed in eight days.”
Questions about selling a tenant-occupied Vineland house
Can I sell my Vineland house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can start a sale conversation with the tenants still in the house. A sale by itself does not cancel the lease, so share the lease and occupancy details as we discuss the property.
Do I have to evict before I call?
No. You can call before making a possession decision. We buy houses with tenants in place; New Jersey's lease and court rules still apply to the tenancy.
Does the sale end the lease or require the tenant to leave?
No. Selling the house does not by itself end the lease or make the home vacant. The buyer and tenant must honor the existing rental agreement, and New Jersey tenant protections may continue after the lease term ends.
What happens to the security deposit when the house is sold?
Within five days after the deed is delivered, the seller must transfer the deposit and earned interest to the buyer and notify the tenant by registered or certified mail who now holds it. New Jersey makes the new owner responsible for the deposit either way.
What should I have ready before I call?
Nothing has to be perfect. If available, have the property address, lease, rent and deposit records, occupancy and access details, any written notices, repair information, and the timing you are considering nearby.
Will I have to repair or clean out the house first?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
