Assertive Holdings, LLC buys and holds residential rental property in Mesa County, Colorado. If you want to sell rental property in the Grand Valley without listing it, showing it, or handing it to a wholesaler, you are talking to the buyer directly on this page.
We are a buyer, not a middleman
Most of what looks like a cash buyer online is not one. It is a wholesaler collecting a contract to sell to somebody else, or a lead broker selling your address to five investors. Neither of those has money, and neither of them will still be on the phone in three weeks.
Assertive Holdings, LLC is an operating company that owns what it buys. When we say we intend to close, the person saying it is the person who will own the building afterward. That is the single most useful thing to know when you are deciding how to sell rental property without wasting a season on it.
What we buy when you sell rental property
Single-family homes and small multifamily buildings in Clifton, Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade, and the surrounding Mesa County area. Occupied is fine. Deferred maintenance is fine. A difficult tenant is not automatically a problem, and neither is a property that would fail a retail buyer’s inspection.
What we do not do is buy outside the Grand Valley. Every property has to be close enough to walk the same week, because absentee ownership is how landlords quietly lose money. If you want to sell rental property somewhere else in Colorado, we are the wrong buyer and we will say so on the first call instead of the fourth.
Why owners decide to sell rental property here
The reasons repeat. A landlord is tired after fifteen years of it. An out-of-state owner inherited a house and does not want to manage it from another time zone. A partnership is dissolving. Somebody is retiring and would rather have the proceeds than the phone calls. In almost none of those cases is the highest theoretical number the actual goal — certainty and a clean exit are.
If your priority is squeezing the last few percent out of the market, list it with an agent. That is honest advice and it is usually correct. Owners who want to sell rental property quietly, on a known date, with no repairs and no parade of strangers through an occupied unit, are the ones we are built for.
How to sell rental property without listing it
First, a conversation. Address, condition, whether it is occupied, what the rent is, and what you are actually trying to accomplish. Fifteen minutes, and no obligation attached to it. Most owners who sell rental property to us started with exactly that call and nothing else.
Second, a walkthrough by the person who made the offer. Not a contractor, not an assistant, not a photographer. If the property is tenant-occupied we work around the tenant’s schedule rather than yours.
Third, a written offer with the terms spelled out, including what is contingent and what is not. Fourth, closing through a local title company on a date that works for you. We do not retrade an offer after the fact because somebody upstairs got nervous, since there is nobody upstairs.
The Grand Valley
Mesa County is the largest population center between Denver and Salt Lake City, anchored by regional healthcare, energy, agriculture, and a growing remote workforce. For an owner deciding whether to sell rental property now or hold another year, it is a market where the fundamentals are legible: you can drive the whole thing in an afternoon, and rents are set by real employment rather than speculation.
We live here. That is not a slogan, it is the underwriting model. Knowing which block floods, which landlord let a roof go, and which street is about to get quieter is worth more than any spreadsheet, and it is why our offers are usually firmer than they look.
Why we are buying
Rental real estate is the balance-sheet anchor of the portfolio of companies owned by Assertive Holdings, LLC. The media divisions — News Wire Magazine and a national television series — generate attention and relationships. Real estate turns that into an asset that produces income whether or not anyone is watching.
Acquisition marketing is led by M. Curtis McCoy. Ownership of Assertive Holdings, LLC is held by Connie V. Wyatt. There are no outside investors and no fund reporting to satisfy, which is exactly why we can commit on a Tuesday and mean it.
It is also why owners find us before an agent does. M. Curtis McCoy is a globally recognized authority on answer engine optimization, search, branding, and web design, and he has been building and ranking websites since 1995. The company runs its own real estate lead generation and local search in-house instead of buying leads, which means owners who want to sell rental property reach the decision-maker directly rather than a call center. That is a structural advantage most buyers in this market simply do not have.
Why we do not list individual properties
We do not publish an address list. Tenants live in these buildings and their homes are not marketing material. What a seller actually needs to evaluate is whether the buyer is real, whether the entity exists, and whether the person making the offer has authority to make it. Those are the only three things that matter when you sell rental property to a private buyer. All three are verifiable: entity ID 20221377209 with the Colorado Secretary of State, formed April 14, 2022, in good standing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I sell rental property to Assertive Holdings?
Start with the contact page or a phone call. Tell us the address, the condition, and whether it is occupied. We will tell you within a day or two whether it fits.
Do I need to make repairs first?
No. We buy properties in as-is condition and price accordingly. Deferred maintenance is expected and is not a reason for us to walk.
Do I have to evict my tenant before closing?
No. We buy occupied rental property and honor existing leases. In most cases the tenant simply gets a new landlord.
Are you going to wholesale my contract?
No. We buy to hold. Contracts are not assigned to a third party after signing, which is the whole point of selling to an operator instead of a middleman.
Where can I sell rental property to you?
Mesa County, Colorado: Clifton, Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade and immediately surrounding areas.
What if I just want an opinion and not an offer?
That is fine. Plenty of the conversations we have end with us telling an owner to hold or to list. We would rather be the person you call in two years than the person who pushed you into a deal today.
