Sell Your Rental — Tenants In Place or Vacant
Keep the income flowing or start fresh. Either way, we make it work.
Selling a rental property with tenants doesn't have to mean losing income or fighting with lease terms. We help Bay Area landlords sell whether the property is occupied or vacant, with a process that respects tenant rights and your bottom line.

Selling With Tenants: What to Expect
How your rental sale works depends heavily on the lease type and local tenant protections in place. Fixed-term leases typically transfer to the new owner as-is, while month-to-month arrangements offer a bit more flexibility.
Good to know:
We'll walk you through exactly what your specific lease and local rules mean for the sale.
How We Handle an Occupied Sale
Review the Lease
We look at lease type, rent roll, and any local rent control rules that apply.
Decide: Occupied or Vacant
We help you weigh the trade-offs of each path.
Prepare Proper Notices
Any required tenant notices are handled correctly.
Market to the Right Buyers
Investors for occupied, traditional buyers for vacant.
Negotiate & Open Escrow
We keep tenants informed and the process moving.
Close & Transfer
Lease and ownership transfer smoothly to the new owner.
Most occupied cash sales close in 2–3 weeks; timelines vary if a buyer wants the unit vacated first.
