Before putting your rental property on the market, it’s key to understand tenant rights in your area.

Quick Tips:

• Give Notice for Showings: Many places require 24–48 hours’ notice.
• Honor Lease Terms: New owners might need to stick with the current lease until it ends.
• Be Transparent: Clear communication helps tenants feel respected and keeps them on board.

Starting with the rules keeps everyone in the loop and avoids unnecessary conflicts.

Selling a home with tenants doesn’t have to be awkward. A quick, honest conversation can go a long way in making them feel comfortable and willing to work with you.

Pro Tips:

• Explain Your Plan: Let them know why you’re selling and what to expect.
• Offer Incentives: Small perks, like discounted rent during the sale, can encourage cooperation.
• Minimize Showings: When you list with an EZ Listing Specialist, our one-and-done open house strategy reduces the need for multiple showings, so tenants won’t feel constantly interrupted.

Transparency isn’t just kind; it’s smart. Tenants who feel informed and valued are much more likely to help keep the property in show-ready shape.

If your property already generates rental income, that’s a major selling point for investor buyers.

How to Position Your Property:

• Show Rental Income History: Provide buyers with rental income figures to show cash-flow and profitability.
• Market Tenant-Friendly Features: Parking, on-site laundry, and other amenities that tenants love are also valuable to investors.
• Create a Competitive Environment: With the EZ Real Estate Platform, investors can view other offers, amplifying their willingness to make stronger offers as they feel the need to compete.

Appealing to investors can mean a faster sale, and maybe even at a higher price since they’ll be buying a property with cash flow built in.

Scheduling showings with tenants requires a little extra planning. By consolidating viewings into specific blocks, you can keep disruptions low and make the process less stressful for everyone involved.

How to Show a Rented Property:

• Set Block Showings: Arrange for showings in specific time slots to reduce tenant interruptions.
• Consider Virtual Tours: Digital walkthroughs are an ideal way to let buyers explore the home without frequent in-person visits.

Smart scheduling keeps things easy for your tenants and convenient for interested buyers.

When selling a property with tenants, a bit of flexibility can make all the difference. Some buyers may prefer to keep tenants for rental income, while others may want to take possession when the lease ends. Be prepared for both scenarios to make negotiations smoother.

Quick Tips for Negotiating:

• Be Upfront About Lease Terms: Let buyers know if they’ll need to honor the lease.
• Highlight Immediate Income: A property with a lease in place can be appealing to investors looking for immediate returns.

Flexibility keeps negotiations smooth and buyers interested.
