We buy houses across the Tree Streets
From Pierce, Walnut, and Birch Streets to Bartlett, Pine, and the blocks around Kennedy Park and Lisbon Street, Propcash buys houses throughout downtown Lewiston's mill-era neighborhood.
Propcash also buys houses in Little Canada, around Bates College, and in Montello, across Lewiston, and throughout Maine.
A century-old triple-decker with tenants? That's exactly what we buy.
The Tree Streets were built rapid-fire from the 1870s to the 1910s to house the Bates Mill workforce, wood-frame triple-deckers and brick mill blocks packed close together. It is overwhelmingly pre-1940, and we expect the wiring, the heat, and the lead paint that come with that age.

Understanding the Tree Streets market
Built for the mill
The Tree Streets, named for Pierce, Walnut, Birch, Ash, Pine, and the rest, went up as worker housing when Lewiston's Bates Mill drew an exploding immigrant workforce. Bates built the first brick mill blocks on Canal Street from 1852, and private builders added light wood-frame triple-deckers as the population tripled. The result is one of Maine's densest 19th-century districts.
A real lead and fire story
This is not a generic old neighborhood. Downtown Lewiston carries one of the highest childhood lead-poisoning rates in Maine, which drove a $7.75 million HUD lead grant to the city in 2025, and it has a documented downtown-fire pattern in its closely packed wood-frame stock, from the 2013 arson wave to fires in 2021 and 2026. For a landlord, both are honest reasons to sell as-is to a buyer who prices them in.
Where Lewiston prices sit
Across Androscoggin County the median sale price was about $335,000, up roughly 1.36% year over year, for the rolling quarter of February through April 2026 (Maine Association of Realtors, Maine Listings MLS). Downtown multifamily trades well below the county's single-family median, and a tired triple-decker sells for less again, so a fair offer starts from the actual building and its condition.
Why a financed buyer walks
Lead paint, knob-and-tube, old heat, and fire-code concerns on a tenant-occupied building are exactly what stops a bank loan and a retail buyer. Propcash buys tenant-occupied mill-era multifamily as-is and shows its math.
A direct cash homebuyer is a company that purchases houses itself, with its own funds, rather than listing them for sale or finding buyers on a seller's behalf. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we make the offer, we are the buyer, and the seller pays no commissions or fees. Sellers skip repairs, listings, and showings, and pick their own closing date.
Common situations we help Tree Streets owners navigate
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
Done being a downtown landlord
Lead orders, code enforcement, fire risk on old wiring, and turnover? Sell your tenant-occupied triple-decker with tenants in place, no eviction required.
Facing lead-safe compliance
With the city's lead abatement push, remediation costs can exceed what a listing would net. Sell as-is to a buyer who expects and prices the lead work.
Inherited a Franco-American family building
Many Tree Streets buildings have been in one family for generations. Maine's affidavit can't move a house, so it passes through probate. We buy inherited multifamily occupied.
Spooked by the fire pattern
Fires in adjacent aging buildings are a documented downtown reality. If you'd rather not carry that risk, we buy your building at a fair, honest price.
A building no lender will finance
Undersized electrical, old heat, and lead paint sink financed offers. We buy with our own funds and don't need a bank's sign-off.
Payments falling behind
In Maine the lender must sue and mail a 35-day cure letter, and even after a judgment you keep a 90-day redemption window before the property is sold. Selling within it can retire the debt and protect your record.
The Propcash Promise
We don't believe in high-pressure sales tactics. Here's how we put that commitment into action for Tree Streets sellers.
No expiration date
Take all the time you need to consider an offer, we'll never push a hard deadline.
No aggressive follow up
We follow up on your schedule. We'll never send unsolicited marketing emails, drip campaigns, or phone blasts.
We'll tell you if we're not the right buyer
If listing with an agent would serve you better, we'll point you to a local agent. We're always straightforward and transparent.
Frequently asked questions about selling in the Tree Streets
What parts of downtown Lewiston do you buy in?
We buy throughout the Tree Streets and downtown 04240: Pierce, Walnut, Birch, Ash, Bartlett, Pine, and Blake Streets, the blocks around Kennedy Park, and the Lisbon Street corridor. We also buy in Little Canada, around Bates College, and across the rest of Lewiston.
Can I sell my triple-decker with tenants still living there?
Yes. Most Tree Streets buildings are tenant-occupied, and this is one of the most common situations we handle. We buy occupied multifamily, so you don't have to evict anyone or wait for leases to end before you sell.
My building has lead paint and may face abatement. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Downtown Lewiston carries one of the highest childhood lead burdens in Maine, and the city has a lead-safe push backed by a 2025 HUD grant. Lead abatement is expensive, and Propcash buys as-is and prices it into the offer, so you don't fund the work first.
What about the downtown fire history?
Fires in the dense wood-frame stock, from the 2013 arson wave to blazes in 2021 and 2026, are a documented downtown reality. It can make insurance and financing harder for a retail buyer. We buy these buildings anyway and factor the risk into a fair offer.
I inherited a family multifamily downtown. How does probate work?
Maine's small-estate affidavit reaches personal property only and cannot transfer a house (18-C M.R.S. section 3-1201), so an inherited building is deeded through probate, usually an informal appointment in Androscoggin County. Estate sales are exempt from the seller disclosure statement (33 M.R.S. section 172). We buy inherited multifamily with tenants in place.
How fast can you close?
As few as 7 days, or later if you prefer. If you're behind, Maine's judicial foreclosure gives a 35-day cure notice (14 M.R.S. section 6111) and a 90-day redemption window before the sale (14 M.R.S. section 6322), often enough time to sell and clear the debt.
Do you take any fees or commissions?
No. You owe no commissions, no closing costs, and nothing to Propcash. Maine assesses a transfer tax of $2.20 per $500 of value, divided evenly between seller and buyer (36 M.R.S. section 4641-A), and the figure you accept is the figure you collect at closing.
What comes after I send my building details?
Typically within a day we compare your building to recent Lewiston sales, put a fair cash number in front of you, and explain how we got there. If it works, we set a closing through a title company; if it does not, there is nothing owed and no follow-up you did not ask for.
