Sell a House with Tenants in Puyallup, WA
You can sell a house with tenants in Puyallup 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.
Downtown houses are often older and on smaller lots. South Hill houses are newer, on larger lots, along the Meridian and Shaw Road corridors. Sumner and Edgewood are neighboring cities, not Puyallup neighborhoods.
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 Puyallup
Puyallup is an incorporated Pierce County city in the valley, with a downtown grid near Pioneer Park and the fairgrounds. South Hill is the plateau south of the valley. Many South Hill addresses use a Puyallup mailing city even when the parcel is unincorporated Pierce County.
Families sell downtown houses they no longer live in, and South Hill houses after a job move or an estate. The drive from Auburn is a normal Pierce County trip, often on SR-512.
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
You do not need to wait for the Washington State Fair to end, and you do not need to stage the house for visitors. The sale is a direct purchase, not a listing timed to an event.
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.
A house inside the City of Puyallup records in Pierce County. An unincorporated South Hill parcel also records in Pierce County, but the permitting agency may be the county rather than the city. The title report and the letterhead tell you which. KindKey does not decide that from the fairgrounds schedule. 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.
