This guide is part of Selling a home. Back to the homepage.
You can sell with someone living there
A lot of owners think they must deliver a vacant, clean house. You do not. Tell us whether there is a lease, whether rent is current, and whether you have started an eviction. We look at the house as it is.
This comes up in Kansas City rentals, in Gladstone ranches, in Belton, and in older Shawnee houses. One rental is enough. You do not need a portfolio.
What to have ready
The address. What you know about the lease. Any notices you have sent. The big repairs you have been putting off. That is enough for a first conversation.
You still should not lock a tenant out or shut off utilities to force a sale. Those moves create their own legal problems. A sale is a different path.
The offer
We walk the property, price the condition and the tenancy, and give you a cash number. There is no agent commission in a sale to us. You can say no.
The longer page on bad tenants stays at its current address. This guide is the short version for people who are ready to stop managing.

Questions
Do I have to evict before I call?
No. Say what the tenant situation is. Evicting first can cost months you do not want to spend.
What if the tenant damaged the house?
Damage is part of the condition. You do not repair it for us.
