    Done being a landlord? Sell with tenants in place

    Late rent, repair calls at midnight, a unit that keeps getting trashed. You can sell the property with the tenants still there and be done.

    • No repairs
    • No fees or commission
    • Close in as little as 7 days
    • No obligation

    Quick answer

    SilverCrest Estates buys rental properties for cash with tenants in place — including non-paying or month-to-month tenants — so landlords can sell without finishing evictions, turning units over or making repairs.

    Is this you?

    This page is for you if…

    • Tenants are behind on rent or damaging the unit
    • An eviction is slow, costly or stalled
    • Repairs and turnovers are eating your returns
    • You want out of being a landlord altogether

    Evictions take time

    Court timelines and local rules vary.

    Turnovers are expensive

    Paint, flooring, cleaning and vacancy.

    You're always on call

    Every leak, every lockout.

    How we help

      Share the leases

      Rent roll, leases and any notices served.

    2. 2

      Offer with tenants in place

      We don't need the units vacant.

    4. 4

      We take over

      We become the landlord from closing day.

    Selling an occupied rental

    In most states a lease survives a sale — the new owner takes over the lease and the tenant's rights. That's why many buyers insist on a vacant property. We don't. Tenant notice requirements for showings still apply, so we keep visits short and properly noticed.

    If an eviction is already in progress

    You can often sell during an eviction case, but how the case transfers depends on local rules. A landlord-tenant attorney can advise. We'll take the property either way.

    This page is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Laws and timelines differ by state. Talk to a licensed attorney, CPA or HUD-approved housing counselor about your specific situation.
