Sell a House with Tenants in Burien, WA
You can sell a house with tenants in Burien without delivering it vacant. KindKey Home Buyers LLC is a principal buyer at 640 1st St SW in Auburn. KindKey is not a real estate agent or broker and does not list the house. KindKey is not your landlord-tenant lawyer and will not ask you to remove occupants illegally so the house is easier to see.
The stock mixes older Sound-side houses, ramblers east of downtown, and houses on steep streets toward the water. Three Tree Point is not a separate city. Normandy Park, next door, is.
Washington has rules about notice, entry, deposits, and ending a tenancy. KindKey does not advise you on those rules. If you are unsure whether you can enter or ask someone to leave, talk with a Washington attorney before you do it.
Rentals KindKey buys in Burien
Burien is an incorporated King County city between Seattle and SeaTac, on Puget Sound. Downtown Burien, Seahurst, Three Tree Point, Lake Burien, Gregory Heights, and Shorewood are local areas. Boulevard Park sits on the north edge, where city limits and mailing names do not match every house.
Owners sell when a house near the water or in Seahurst needs more repair than they will do, or when an estate house has been vacant. The drive from Auburn is longer than a Kent trip and still inside the area we buy.
Tell us whether the agreement is written, month-to-month, or unclear, and whether the occupant is current. A non-paying occupant is a different problem from a tenant with a lease. KindKey will not coach an eviction. If a foreclosure notice is also in the file, ask your attorney about RCW 61.34. KindKey does not interpret it.
Access, deposits, and closing
Airport noise is a fact of some Burien streets and not of others. It does not decide whether KindKey can make an offer. Condition and title do.
We schedule a visit in a way that respects the people living there. You should follow whatever notice rules apply before anyone enters. Do not promise tenants a rent change or a move-out date on KindKey’s behalf. Security deposits may need to be accounted for at closing.
Burien is in King County. Deeds record with the King County Recorder. The city incorporated from unincorporated King County, and some nearby addresses people still call Burien are outside the city. The parcel controls which office applies. KindKey does not charge an agent commission or a separate assignment fee. Closing-cost responsibility is stated in the written purchase agreement and can vary. Mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and other obligations can reduce proceeds. The closing agent provides a settlement statement before you close.
