Sell a House with Tenants in SeaTac, WA
You can sell a house with tenants in SeaTac 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.
Houses here are often mid-century, on lots near airport and highway corridors. Some streets are quiet and residential. Others sit near International Boulevard. KindKey looks at the house. We do not invent a citywide airport discount before a visit.
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 SeaTac
SeaTac is an incorporated King County city. The city’s name is one word. The airport is the dominant neighbor, not a neighborhood. Angle Lake, McMicken Heights, Riverton, and Bow Lake are residential areas. Tukwila, Burien, and Des Moines are separate cities on the edges.
Sellers include estates, landlords leaving a rental near International Boulevard, and owners who do not want showings on a house that needs work. KindKey buys as a principal from Auburn.
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
If the house is in Tukwila or Des Moines, say that instead of SeaTac. The names sit close together on a map and they are different permit counters.
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.
SeaTac is in King County. The City of SeaTac and the Port of Seattle are not the same entity. A city notice is not an airport document. Deeds record in King County. Probate for a resident is commonly a King County case. KindKey will not file it. 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.
