Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a rental property with tenants still living in it?
Yes. We buy rental properties with tenants in place. There is no need to evict, wait for a lease to expire, or vacate the property before selling.
Do I need to tell my tenants I am selling the Lincoln property?
We recommend informing tenants as a courtesy, but in most cases you are not required to get their permission. The tenants' lease transfers to the new owner at closing.
What if my tenants are not paying rent?
Non-paying tenants actually make our offer more attractive for you. Dealing with eviction proceedings is expensive and time-consuming. We take over the property and the tenant situation at closing.
Will the sale affect my tenants' lease agreement?
Existing leases typically transfer to the new owner. The tenants' rights under their current lease are preserved. We honor all existing lease agreements.
What if the rental property needs a lot of repairs?
We buy rental properties as-is. Deferred maintenance, code violations, and tenant damage are all things we handle after closing. No repairs required on your part.
Can I sell a multi-unit rental property to EasyOffer?
Yes. We buy single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small apartment buildings in Lincoln. Multiple units are not a problem.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
