BBB A+ Rated Cash Home Buyers in Tempe Since 2015
Around ASU and the Mill Avenue District, we buy houses Tempe landlords rely on for a fast exit — student rentals worn down by years of turnover, tenants still in place, inherited homes you do not want to manage, or investment properties ready to unload. We buy those situations as-is and for cash without asking you to end a lease or empty the property first.
We have been buying homes across the Valley since 2015 and have purchased 1,500+ Arizona homes, with an A+ rating and accreditation from the Better Business Bureau and features by Forbes, NBC, and Fox. From the older homes near the Mill Avenue District and Tempe Town Lake to the family neighborhoods of South Tempe and the Kyrene Corridor, Tempe is a market we know well.

How We Calculate Your Tempe Cash Offer
A fair cash offer on your Tempe home or rental should be easy to follow. Here is exactly how we build the number, with nothing hidden.
Step 1: Your Home’s Value
We pull recently renovated homes that sold in your part of Tempe — near ASU and the Mill Avenue District, South Tempe, or the Kyrene Corridor — and match them to yours by size, beds, baths, and features.
Step 2: The Cost of Repairs
We estimate what it would take to bring the home to that renovated condition, including the wear that comes with long-term rentals. You never pay for any of it — we account for it in the offer.
Step 3: Our Holding Costs
For Tempe rentals we also bake in vacancy risk, turnover wear, and the time to prepare a student or long-term rental for resale — plus taxes, insurance, utilities, and financing while we hold it.
Step 4: Our Profit
We underwrite around 10% on Tempe deals so ASU-area renovation surprises (deferred maintenance, tenant damage) do not sink the numbers. Actual profit usually lands closer to 7–8%.
Step 5: Your Cash Offer
Your Tempe cash offer is renovated comps minus repairs, holding costs, and profit — whether the home is vacant or still leased. Zero fees and commissions on your side.

Sell as-is with tenants in place if you need to — we run the comps, put the offer in writing, and close through Fidelity National Title whenever the date works for you.

Real Review: A Tempe Seller's Story
E Libra Dr, Tempe, AZ 85283
[street number redacted]“I inherited my Tempe home from my mom and had a handful of investors come through looking for the highest offer on a probate sale. I'd lived there with my kids for years while caring for her. Highest Cash Offer was the only one who flagged a $155,000 AHCCCS lien — and explained I likely qualified for a hardship exemption because I'd lived in the home full-time caring for her before she passed. Clearing that lien took about 60 days, then we closed. Their offer wasn't the highest on paper, but my net was — they saved the equity I would've otherwise lost paying that lien.”

Tempe Home Seller Reviews
“Never rent your home to a family member. My brother completely trashed the home I bought in Tempe to rent out to him during his schooling. The $600 I cash flowed per month would not even put a dent into the damage he caused. This home had black mold and I didnt want to deal with getting it renovated. Highest Cash Offer actually got a professional quote from a contractor and broke everything down. I liked that they didn't put a bunch of fees on top of the price they offered. It was a little less than I was hoping for, but it was still fair and I was happy with my decision to sell my home to them.”
“One of my close friends needed to get his home sold because of a very bad experience with renters. We tried going through a few different real estate agents, but none of them seemed to be able to get the process going as fast as he wanted. We found Highest Cash Offer online and decided to give them a call. That was by far the best decision my friend has made in a while! His home is now in the process of closing, and his stress is relieved.”
Why Tempe Homeowners and Landlords Sell to Us
We Buy Tempe Homes and Rentals As-Is
You make zero repairs. A student rental near ASU worn from years of turnover, a home in South Tempe that needs updating, or an inherited property full of belongings — we buy it the way it is. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging.
We Buy With Tenants in Place
No need to evict anyone or wait for a lease to end. We buy tenant-occupied Tempe rentals as-is — difficult tenants, deferred maintenance, and back rent included. Share the lease details and we structure a clean, fast closing around them.
Zero Commissions, Zero Closing Costs
A traditional Tempe sale costs 5–6% in agent commissions plus seller closing costs. When you sell to us there are no agents on either side and we cover 100% of the closing costs and escrow fees, so the number we offer is very close to what you keep.
You Pick the Closing Date
Close in seven days, or time it with the end of a lease or a move. You choose the date. Fidelity National Title handles the paperwork and we work the timeline around you.
Should You Sell As-Is or Fix Up Your Tempe House First?
For Tempe owners, the as-is-versus-renovate decision often has a rental angle. A student rental that has been turned over for years usually needs real work to show well on the open market, and a mortgage buyer will negotiate against every scuff and dated fixture. Rather than pour money into a property you are trying to exit, selling as-is to a cash buyer lets you hand it over in its current condition and walk away clean.
Tenants complicate a traditional sale even further. Showing an occupied rental, coordinating around leases, and hoping tenants keep it presentable can drag a listing out for months. We buy tenant-occupied Tempe homes without requiring you to evict anyone or wait for a lease to end — we take the property, and the tenancy, as-is.
We also buy the homes a listing would call "ugly" — deferred maintenance, water damage, or an inherited property full of belongings. You fix and clean nothing. We price the condition into the offer up front instead of asking you to spend money getting the house market-ready.

A Note From Our Founder
I started Highest Cash Offer in 2015 to give Arizona homeowners a transparent way to sell fast for cash — with a firm closing date and no last-minute changes to the price or terms. That certainty matters to homeowners, and it matters just as much to the landlords and investors who make up a big part of the Tempe market.
A lot of what we buy in Tempe is rental property. I have talked to plenty of owners who were tired of turning a student rental near ASU one more time and just wanted out cleanly. We buy those homes with the tenants in place and the wear and tear included, so nobody has to renovate a property they are trying to sell.
For every Tempe home, my team runs real comps on that specific area — a place near Mill Avenue is a different deal from one in South Tempe — and we stand behind every number we put in writing. If listing is genuinely the better move for a well-kept home, I will tell you that honestly.
If you want to talk through your options on your Tempe home or rental, call me or my team at (602) 600-0103.

How fast can I sell my Tempe house?
You’ll get a written cash offer within 24 hours and can close in as few as 7 days through Fidelity National Title. No lender, appraisal, or showings means no delays. Need to time it with a move or the end of a lease? Choose a later closing date that works for you.
Do you buy ASU rental or investment homes in Tempe?
Yes. Tempe has a huge student-rental market, and we buy investment properties as-is — even with tenants in place or wear from years of rentals. You skip turning the unit or ending leases. Give us the rent-roll basics and we’ll make a fair cash offer fast.
Can I sell a Tempe rental with tenants in place?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied Tempe rentals without requiring you to evict anyone or wait for a lease to end. Difficult tenants, deferred maintenance, and back rent are all fine — we take the property on as-is. Share the lease details and we’ll structure a smooth, fast closing.
Can I sell my Tempe house as-is?
Yes, completely as-is. From older homes near ASU to properties needing major work, we buy in any condition with no repairs, cleaning, or staging. We factor the condition into a fair cash offer and handle every repair ourselves after closing, so you spend nothing to sell.
Do you buy inherited Tempe homes?
Yes. We purchase inherited and probate homes across Tempe exactly as they are, working on the court’s timeline and with your attorney. Keep whatever you want and leave the rest for us to clear. Once the estate is ready, we close on the date you choose.
Do I need a realtor to sell my house in Tempe?
No. You can sell your Tempe house directly to a cash buyer with no agent and no commission. A realtor helps you list on the open market for top dollar, but that means repairs, showings, and 30–90 days. If you want speed and certainty instead, selling direct skips all of it.
