Sell Your Gaithersburg House, Olde Towne to the Kentlands
Gaithersburg runs along I-270 and Route 355, from the old railroad town around the MARC station in Olde Towne out to the Kentlands and Lakelands neighborhoods on the west side. It’s one of Montgomery County’s largest cities, with older ramblers and newer townhomes side by side. I’m Evan Weissman, a Maryland agent who also buys Gaithersburg homes outright, as-is. You’ll see both paths priced out.

Ramblers, Townhomes and New Urbanism
Near Olde Towne, there are early 1900s houses and post-war homes. Much of the city grew in the 1960s through 1980s, so ramblers, split-levels and townhome communities are everywhere. The Kentlands, started in the late 1980s, and the Lakelands next to it were designed to look like old towns, with rowhouses, small-lot single-family homes and HOA rules.
The repairs I see: original 1970s and 1980s kitchens, baths and windows, aging HVAC and water heaters, roofs nearing the end, and townhomes that need everything at once after a long rental. I buy any of them.
I’ll look at almost any house: single-family, townhome, row, twin, or multi-family, any age, any condition, any situation.
City Taxes, Rental Licenses and HOAs
Inside city limits, Gaithersburg’s property tax is 0.262 per $100, on top of the county rate, in SDAT’s 2026-27 table. Some Gaithersburg addresses are outside city limits, so check your bill. The city runs its own rental housing license program, so if you’re selling a rental, have your license info ready.
Many townhome and Kentlands homes come with HOA fees and resale packages. I’ll work with your HOA, including past-due dues paid at closing.
When the House Was Rented for Years
Many Gaithersburg townhomes and ramblers spent a decade or more as rentals, and they come back to the owner worn out: patched walls, stained carpet, tired appliances and a long list from the last move-out inspection. If you’re done being a landlord, I’ll buy it as it is, empty or with the tenant still there. You won’t need to turn it over one more time.
Montgomery County Records
For an inherited Gaithersburg home, the paperwork starts a few miles down Route 355 at the Montgomery Register of Wills on Maryland Avenue in Rockville. SDAT put the 2026 county tax sale on June 8. Montgomery sets its transfer and recordation charges in price tiers, so I’d rather have the title company give you exact figures than guess here.
Three Ways to Sell
Option 1: A cash sale, no repairs
You won’t hire a single contractor or host one showing. There’s no commission on my purchase, and the calendar is yours.
Option 2: List it with me as your agent
Updated Gaithersburg homes near I-270 often sell well. Listing means paying a fee and waiting for the right buyer, and I’ll write down what each option leaves you.
Option 3: Renovate and Sell Together
Where it fits, Evan can handle and pay for the updates under a written agreement, then sell on the open market. The cost of that work is repaid at settlement. You keep ownership until the sale. There is no guaranteed sale price or profit. Review any agreement with your own attorney before you sign.
I renovate most houses I buy with my own crew, and if I partner with another local buyer on yours, I’ll tell you before you sign.
Side-by-side paths: cash offer vs listing in Maryland.
Behind on Mortgage Payments
If you are behind on your mortgage or facing foreclosure, start with free help before you decide anything. A HUD-approved housing counselor costs nothing and can walk you through options with your servicer, such as catching up, a repayment plan, forbearance, or a loan modification. The Maryland HOPE hotline, 1-877-462-7555, connects homeowners with those counselors. If you have court papers or a sale date, I also recommend talking with a Maryland attorney. I can’t promise to stop a foreclosure, and I won’t pressure you. If you and your counselor decide a sale makes sense, I’ll put a cash number next to a listing plan so you can compare.

Will you buy a dated Gaithersburg townhome?
Yes. Original kitchens, worn carpet and old systems are fine. I price the work in.
Can I sell a Kentlands home with HOA dues behind?
Yes. Past-due dues are usually paid from your proceeds at closing. Tell me the balance and I’ll account for it.
Do I need a Gaithersburg rental license to sell a rented house?
It helps to have the city license number handy, but a lapsed one won’t kill the deal. A tenant can stay put through closing.

Your tax bill shows a city line if it is. Some Gaithersburg mailing addresses are unincorporated.
Where do I file probate for a Gaithersburg house?
With the county Register of Wills in Rockville, a short drive south on Route 355.

Yes. Tell me the date you need, and we’ll set settlement around it.
