What People Say About Working With Us
We sold our home to Eagle Cash Buyers. We needed to sell to an investor because we could not afford the cost of repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers stuck to the agreed on price even after finding more damage with the house than originally discussed. Oren communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Eagle Cash Buyers for buying our house and helping us move on with our life.
Eagle Cash Buyers LLC provided professional service. They were easy to work with, and were available with prompt communication throughout the process. I look forward to working with them again.

Albany Homeowners We Help
Albany sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own a multi-unit near a campus, some an older home they have outgrown, and some a property they inherited or rent out.
An Older House That Needs Work
Plenty of Albany houses are decades old, and a roof, boiler or kitchen may be due for work. You can sell as-is, with no repairs, cleaning out or staging before we make an offer. We price the house in its current condition.
A Duplex or Multi-Unit You No Longer Want to Manage
Duplexes and multi-unit houses are common in parts of Albany. If being a landlord has become a burden, we can make an offer on the building, including with tenants in place. How the lease is handled depends on the lease terms, and it generally passes to the buyer at closing.
An Inherited House
A house passed down to you can mean a long distance, a shared decision among heirs and paperwork you did not expect. We can talk through the process with you and your attorney or the estate's representative, and you choose the closing date.

A Move With a Deadline
A job change, a school year or a purchase elsewhere can make the usual listing timeline hard to work with. Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, and the date can be later if you need more time.
A House You Would Rather Not List
Listing can mean showings, open houses and repairs after a buyer's inspection. Some owners prefer a single offer and a closing date they set. A cash offer is usually lower than a full listing price, so compare what each would net you before you decide.
Behind on Payments or Facing Costs
Back taxes, a mortgage that is hard to carry or a repair bill can push an owner to look at selling. Tell us where things stand. Your mortgage payoff, liens and prorated property taxes are usually paid from the proceeds at closing, if the proceeds cover them, and the closing attorney or title company shows the numbers before you sign.
Tell us about the property and you will hear back within one business day. Send it on a weekend and that means the next business day. There is no pressure either way.
Get My Cash OfferWhat the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs
Sellers in Albany are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the New York Transfer Tax and repairs can all come out before you see a dollar. Here is how the three paths compare.
| Cost or Factor | Eagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale) | Traditional Listing (Agent) | Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent Commission | None - $0 | Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $332,700 sale is about $16,600 to $20,000 | Usually none, though a service fee often applies |
| Repairs Before Sale | None - we buy as-is | Often paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for more | Often deductions for repairs after the inspection |
| New York Transfer Tax | State rate $4.00 per $1,000 (0.40%). Your share is paid from your proceeds, as set out in the purchase agreement and shown on your settlement statement | The same tax applies | The same tax applies |
| Seller Closing Costs | We pay the closing costs, except your share of any transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, any liens and prorated property taxes are paid from the sale proceeds. | Title, recording and closing fees, plus prorations; amounts vary by contract | A service fee set by each platform |
| Days to Close | Most close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the date | Weeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall through | Set by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas |
| Showings and Inspections | No public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreement | Multiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspection | Usually a company inspection, often with repair deductions |
| Financing Contingency Risk | No buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still apply | Buyer financing can fall through weeks into the process | Low risk, but platform rules apply |
| Condition Required | We buy as-is - no updates needed | Buyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollar | Varies - iBuyers often exclude significant distress |
Your actual net depends on your loan payoff, prorations and contract terms. We walk through it with you before you sign anything. Instant-offer terms vary by company and change often.
Skip the listing process. Close on your schedule, in Albany, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayAn Example From a Real Call
One homeowner's inquiry was in her name, but her husband made the first call. Our acquisition manager asked whether she could take part, since we talk with the owner before anything moves forward. Instead of continuing without her, they scheduled a three-way call for when he got home. Our acquisition manager described the first call as basic, a chance to learn about the property and its condition.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with New York attorneys and title companies who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing attorney or title company arranges. Here is how it runs.
Tell Us About Your Property
Call us at (833) 330-1625 or fill out the form on this page. We ask a few basic questions: the address, the condition and your situation. No obligation, no hard pitch. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, foundation and any past damage. See how our closing process works, start to finish.
Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day
We look at the property, recent comparable sales in Albany, and the repair costs, which we take off the price rather than asking you to do the work. You get a written cash offer with no agent commission. It shows the price, the contingencies and your estimated net before you sign. To weigh it against a traditional sale, our New York page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the closing attorney or title company, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The New York Transfer Tax and every other cost are shown on your settlement statement before closing. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, depending on when the title work clears, or later if you need more time; you pick the date. Anything that could change the price after we agree is written into the agreement, so you can see it before you sign.
Albany Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Albany home at $332,700 in August 2026, 4.2% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A duplex near a campus, a row house in the center and a colonial further out can sit well apart from it.
A cash offer from us is based on your house as it stands, so it will usually differ from a full retail listing price. Compare it with what a listing would net after repairs, commissions and carrying costs.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Albany
These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.
- Ask for proof of funds. A real buyer can show a bank letter or statement quickly. Ask us the same question. If we assign the contract, ask the closing buyer for theirs too.
- Ask whether they intend to assign the contract. Our answer: 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. Assignment itself is not the problem. What matters is whether the right to assign is disclosed, whether the buyer stays accountable under the agreement, and whether the closing structure and deadlines are clear before you sign. Ask any buyer to put those terms in writing.
- Never pay anything up front. No application fee, no inspection fee, no processing fee. If money is moving from you to the buyer before closing, stop.
- Look the company up. Search the buyer's name in the business registry of the state where it was formed, and check that it is active. Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC is registered in Ohio.
- Get the whole offer in writing before you sign, including who pays closing costs and what happens if the buyer walks.

Albany and Albany County Seller Questions
Duplexes, Row Houses and Estates: Albany Seller Answers
Repairs, multi-units, tenants, inheritance, liens and closing costs, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Albany house to you?
We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Albany: state rate $4.00 per $1,000 (0.40%), subject to the purchase agreement.
Do I need to fix up my Albany house before you make an offer?
No. We buy houses in the condition they are in, so you do not need to repair, clean out or stage anything. Tell us about the roof, systems and any damage, and we price the house as it stands.
How do I get my house to sell quicker?
A cash sale skips the listing, showings and repairs, so it can move faster. Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. We make the offer on the house as it is, and you get it in writing within one business day.
Can I sell my Albany house with a lien or back taxes on it?
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.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Albany?
It depends on how title was held and New York 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 New York 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.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Albany house as-is?
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. New York sellers commonly complete a Property Condition Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in New York can confirm which disclosures apply.
Will Eagle Cash Buyers buy my house itself, or assign the contract?
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. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the attorney or title company used for the transaction.
Can selling my Albany house to you stop a foreclosure?
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. In New York, a foreclosure generally goes through the court. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the court, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in New York can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our New York page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy duplexes and multi-unit houses in Albany?
Yes, we look at duplexes and multi-unit properties, including ones with tenants. Tell us how many units there are and what the leases say. How a lease is handled depends on its terms, and it generally passes to the buyer at closing.
Do you buy mobile homes in Albany?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you are not sure how your property is set up, send us the details and we will tell you.
Does the owner need to be on the call?
Someone else can make first contact for you, but the owner takes part in the conversation before anything moves forward. If you cannot be on that first call, we set up one that includes you. The first call is basic: we ask about the property and your situation.
Can I sell if I live outside Albany?
Yes. Send the address and a few details, and we work with you by phone and email. Closing can often be handled remotely through the closing attorney or title company, and you choose the closing date.
How do I know Eagle Cash Buyers is legitimate?
Eagle Cash Buyers is BBB accredited and has a 4.5-star rating from 40 Google reviews. You get an offer in writing and the terms are in the purchase agreement, which you can have an attorney review before you sign.
Eagle Cash Buyers is not a law firm, title company or tax advisor. This information is general and is not legal, title or tax advice. Laws, procedures and transaction costs vary by state and locality, and the purchase agreement and closing documents control each transaction.
