If you are thinking about selling an investment property but there’s already a tenant in place, should you still sell? The answer is absolutely. If you're thinking of selling, there are plenty of buyers who want to purchase a home that already has rental income. It will also offset the cost for you to carry the property in the meantime between the sale and make sure the property is in good showing condition. You won’t have to worry about the costs of utilities either and there is someone on-site to keep an eye on the property. The grass will be cut and the property will show well with furniture.

We are experienced at showing properties with renters in place. In fact, more than half of the homes we sell are like this. We communicate very openly with the renter, find out how they like to be communicated with, whether they want a key box on the door, whether there are pets in the property, and other things to make sure the home shows well and is accessible.
