WHO WE HELP
Sell house with tenants and leave them where they are
You can sell house with tenants in place, and nobody has to move first. We buy the building with the rental agreement attached and step into it on the day we close. No notice to serve. No waiting for a term to run out. No awkward conversation about showings with tenants who pay you rent every month. Most of the owners who call us about this are not in trouble. They are simply done, after years of midnight phone calls about water heaters and the slow arithmetic of repairs against rent.
Why Families Come to Us
Bay Area Landlord Life Has Changed. And Not for the Better.
Managing a rental in the Bay Area used to be straightforward. Now it's anything but.
Oakland and San Francisco rent control limits what you can charge - even as your costs keep rising- Just-cause eviction requirements make removing non-paying or disruptive tenants a months-long process
- Unpermitted ADUs and in-law units create legal exposure when it's time to sell traditionally
- SB 326 structural inspections are forcing unexpected repair costs on condo and multi-unit owners
- Out-of-state landlords managing Bay Area properties remotely - the calls, the compliance, the liability
You've carried this long enough.

Offer Turnaround
“I owned a rent-controlled duplex in Oakland and hadn't raised rent in years. The just-cause rules meant I couldn't get my tenant out without a fight. John made me an offer in a day - tenants still there, I didn't have to do a thing.”
Sandra T.Oakland - Rental Property Sale
“I was managing the property from out of state and it was becoming a full-time job. We closed remotely in three weeks. I didn't have to fly back once.”
Mark H.East Bay - Out-of-State Landlord
“The ADU was unpermitted and every agent told me I needed to legalize it first. John bought it as-is. Offer in 24 hours, closed in 18 days.”
Lisa M.San Jose - Rental with ADU
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The lease transfers with the property and we honor the existing terms, so there is no reason to wait for it to expire before you sell. Your tenants keep the same rent and the same agreement, and we take over the landlord side at closing.
No. Because we are buying the property occupied rather than empty, there is no notice period to run and no move-out date to negotiate with anyone. The one thing we arrange is a single walkthrough, scheduled with proper notice at a time that works for the people living there.
That is common across Oakland, Berkeley, and San Francisco, and it does not stop the sale. We buy subject to the existing regulated rent and factor it into the written offer, rather than treating the ordinance as your problem to solve.
Arrears do not disqualify the property. Tell us where things stand and we price it accordingly, rather than asking you to resolve the balance or pursue anyone before closing. We would rather know the real picture up front than discover it in escrow.
It makes the paperwork simpler, but the sale works the same way. We buy with the tenancy continuing as it is. You do not have to end anyone's tenancy to sell to us, and we will not ask you to.
Yes. The housing authority paperwork moves to the new owner as part of closing, the voucher arrangement continues, and your tenant's situation does not change because the building sold.
