Rental Property Buyers in Seattle, WA
Tenants in place, behind on rent, or recently moved out and left a mess — we buy rentals in every condition and occupancy, and we follow Seattle's rules.
🤝 How We Can Help
Owning a rental in Seattle has gotten complicated. Between rising maintenance costs, tenant turnover, and some of the strictest landlord-tenant regulations in the country, plenty of owners have decided the monthly check is no longer worth the monthly headache. The hard part is the exit: selling a tenant-occupied house on the open market is slow, awkward for everyone, and full of legal tripwires.

🚧 What You're Up Against
Selling around tenants is genuinely hard
Showings require proper notice, tenants are rarely motivated to keep the place tour-ready, and most traditional buyers want the home delivered vacant. That combination keeps many Seattle rentals stuck on the market or off it entirely.
Seattle's rules raise the stakes
Between just-cause eviction protections, notice-of-sale requirements for some rentals, and relocation assistance rules, a misstep when selling an occupied property can cost a landlord real money. Doing it wrong is more expensive than doing it slowly.
Deferred maintenance eats the listing
Years of tenant wear, an aging roof, or a unit that needs a full turn can demand tens of thousands in make-ready costs before an agent will even photograph it. Most landlords selling out do not want to fund one last renovation.
✨ What Selling to Us Looks Like
- Buy tenant-occupied properties with leases and tenants in place — no evictions, no vacancy requirement, and tenants are treated respectfully
- Handle Seattle and Washington notice requirements correctly, coordinating with you so the sale stays compliant
- Buy as-is, including units that need full turns, with no repairs, cleaning, or junk removal — even if tenants left belongings behind
- Cash offer within 24 hours, no fees or commissions, closing costs paid, and closings in as little as 7 days
Seattle landlords operate under layered rules: Washington's Residential Landlord-Tenant Act, the city's just-cause eviction ordinance, and notice requirements that can apply when a rental is sold. Security deposits and lease obligations transfer to the buyer at closing — meaning us, not you. We have bought rentals across King County under these rules since 2011, so the compliance burden moves off your plate the day we close.
💬 Your Questions, Answered
Can I sell while my tenants are still living there?
Yes — that is most of the rentals we buy. The lease and the security deposits transfer to us at closing, your tenants keep their home, and you are done being their landlord. Nobody has to be asked to leave for the sale to happen.
What if my tenants are behind on rent or we are mid-dispute?
We still buy. Problem tenancies, unpaid rent, and stalled eviction situations are factored into our offer rather than blocking the sale. Once we close, the situation is ours to resolve legally and properly — you exit cleanly.
What notice do I have to give tenants before selling?
It depends on the lease and the property — Washington requires proper notice before entries like walkthroughs, and Seattle has additional rules for certain rentals when an owner intends to sell. We keep entries to a single scheduled visit and work with you on the notices, but confirm specifics for your property with your attorney.
What about the security deposits I am holding?
Deposits transfer to us through escrow at closing, with the tenants credited properly, so your obligations under Washington's deposit rules end with the sale. The title company documents the transfer so everything is clean for you and the tenants.
