Questions sellers ask us

Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC is a real estate investment company registered in Ohio. Oren Sofrin founded it in Columbus in 2019 after more than ten years in real estate. Oren and the Eagle team have completed more than 1,000 real estate transactions, and we evaluate properties in 43 states. We are rated A+ by the BBB.

We evaluate properties in 43 states. Whether we can make an offer depends on the property, its location and its condition. See the states we buy in.

Houses in any condition, including ones that need major repairs, inherited houses and rentals with tenants in place. We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on.

We use the information you give us only to contact you about your property.

Then we'll tell you. If your house is in good shape and you have time to wait for a buyer, listing with an agent may get you a higher price, and we'll say so.

Tell us the address and a little about the house. We review it, may ask to walk through it, and send a written cash offer with no obligation. If you accept, a closing agent handles the title work and you choose the closing date.

During business hours, we can often provide an initial offer within minutes to a few hours after receiving the necessary property information. Some properties need more research, photos or a walkthrough before the offer can be finalized. There is no obligation to accept it.

No. An offer is only an offer. Nothing is binding until you and Eagle sign a purchase agreement.

You sign a purchase agreement that sets out the price, the closing date and the other terms. A title company, escrow holder or closing attorney then checks the title and arranges the payoffs. You sign at closing, in person or remotely as the closing agent arranges, and your proceeds are paid at closing.

Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign, along with the price, closing date and other terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.

We can close in as little as 21 to 42 days once the title work has cleared, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on title, liens, mortgage payoffs and the closing provider.

A direct sale to a cash buyer is usually the quickest route: no showings, no repairs and no wait for a buyer's mortgage approval. With us you can close in as little as 21 to 42 days once the title work clears, or later if you need more time.

We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA balances and agreed prorations are paid from your proceeds, as in any sale. The closing professional gives you a settlement statement showing every charge and credit before closing.

Not on a direct sale to us. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission when you sell your house directly to us.

No. We buy houses as-is, including ones that need major repairs. Leave what you don't want to take.

Usually not. A cash offer is usually lower than the price a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling. In return you skip the repairs, the showings and the wait. We don't claim to always pay the most; we make a clear offer based on the condition, recent sales nearby and the repairs.

Most work backward from what the house would sell for after it is fixed up, then subtract the repairs, the holding and resale costs, and a margin for risk. Our How It Works page shows the math, and this guide explains it step by step.

Most cash buyers, including Eagle, pay a discounted price that accounts for repairs, updates and the cost of reselling the house. The exact amount depends on the condition and the local market. It is usually less than listing with an agent, in exchange for speed, convenience and no repairs.

No company pays the most every time. Offers depend on the house, the market and each buyer's costs. Compare written offers, ask what can change after an inspection or walkthrough, and check who pays which costs at closing. This guide lists the red flags to watch for.

If the house is in good condition and you can wait for the right buyer, listing with a real estate agent usually brings the highest price. A cash sale makes more sense when speed, convenience and selling as-is matter more than the top price.

It depends on the house and your goals. Selling as-is means you don't spend money on repairs or time on cleaning and showings, which makes sense when the house needs work or you need to move on. If the house is already in good shape and you have time, listing it with an agent will usually get a higher price.

On the open market it can be. Many buyers want a house that needs no work, and repairs found during an inspection often lead to price cuts or cancelled contracts. Cash buyers like Eagle buy houses in any condition and take on the repairs themselves.

Start with what similar houses nearby have sold for, then allow for the repairs a buyer would need to make. Buyers on the open market usually ask for a lower price or credits when repairs are needed, so an as-is listing is normally priced below houses in good condition.

Major repair problems such as structural or foundation damage, an old roof, water damage and very outdated interiors, along with location issues. The longer these problems go unresolved, the more they tend to reduce what buyers will pay.

It can be when speed, convenience and selling as-is matter more than getting the highest possible price. A traditional listing may be better for a market-ready house when price is your priority. Either way, read the written agreement and make sure you understand it before you sign.

Yes. A cash sale generally means the purchase does not depend on the buyer getting a mortgage. The closing is handled by a title company, escrow holder or closing attorney, as in any sale.

A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the foreclosure process in your state, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in your state can explain your legal options and deadlines.

Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.

It depends on how title was held and your state's law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in your state should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. A real estate attorney licensed in your state can confirm which disclosures apply.
