What People Say About Working With Us
Eagle Cash Buyers helped me to stop a foreclosure. My home was 2 days away from an auction. For a company who invests in buying homes for profit they helped my family keep mine. So grateful.
After talking with several other cash buyers and real estate agents I talked with Alex and he really worked with me and got me the best deal. Down to earth and straight with facts.
My husband and I called Eagle Cash Buyers because our house was on the market for almost a year with no bites. We had moved out of our home and to a different state. We called them, it was very simple. We gave them the information on our home and they made an offer that we could not refuse. They took all my calls and questions, and I had a lot. They answered every call the first time I called. They were knowledgeable and helpful and it was such a pleasure and a blessing that we had a great experience. All the other cash home buyers we had called, one low balled us and they were not straight forward. Also our home was very nice, it had a brand new roof and water heater and heater and the attic was freshly insulated. So your home does not need to be trash for you to sell to them.
I had fallen behind on my mortgage and was in the pre foreclosure stage. The property was in a completely different state from where I lived. Eagle Cash Buyers completely saved my peace of mind and sanity. From the initial contact throughout the entire process they, especially Kelly, have been nothing but professional and informative.

Alexandria Homeowners We Help
Alexandria sellers come to us with very different houses and reasons, from an older home near downtown to a property farther out by one of the area's lakes. Whatever the situation, the questions are usually about timing and condition. For the rules that apply statewide, see our Minnesota page.
An Older House That Needs Work
Alexandria has houses dating back to the 1860s, and many owners of older homes have watched repair lists grow over the years. You do not have to fix anything or clean out the house before we look at it. We make the offer on the house as it stands today, and you decide whether it works for you.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end before you sell. We buy houses with tenants living in them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will walk through it with you.

An Inherited House You Do Not Want
Taking care of a house from a distance while an estate is settled wears people out. Tell us where things stand and we can look at the house and make an offer while the paperwork is sorted out. Who has authority to sign depends on how the property was owned, so an attorney should confirm that part.

Payments Have Fallen Behind
If mortgage payments have slipped and you are worried about where it leads, a cash sale is one option to weigh. Bring any notices you have received when you call. A housing counselor or an attorney can explain your legal position, and we can tell you whether our timeline fits it.
A House Sitting Empty or Far Away
A vacant house through a Minnesota winter is a worry, and so is managing a lake-area property from another state. You can send us the address from anywhere. We work with the closing company on the paperwork, and depending on the circumstances you may not need to be in Alexandria to complete it.
Selling One House to Buy the Next
When the sale of your current house has to line up with a purchase, the closing date matters as much as the price. Tell us when you need to be out. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and we can plan for a later date if your next move is not ready.
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 Alexandria are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Minnesota Deed 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, 5% on a $297,600 sale is $14,880 | 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 |
| Minnesota Deed Tax | about 0.33% of the net price (slightly higher in a few counties); customarily the seller's. 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, back taxes and any other debts against the property are paid from your proceeds, as in any sale | 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 Alexandria, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayA Real Call About a House
One homeowner who contacted us wanted to understand how we actually arrive at a cash offer before comparing it with another offer already in hand. Our acquisition manager walked through the math step by step: start with what the house would be worth fixed up, subtract what the repairs would cost, subtract what it costs the company to resell once the work is done, and subtract the margin the business needs to keep running. He laid out each step so the number could be checked and compared against other offers instead of taken on faith, and she planned to have a local agent review the math.
We are not saying this was a Minnesota homeowner, and we have removed anything that could identify the person.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Minnesota closing agents who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing agent 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 Alexandria, 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 Minnesota page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title or escrow with the closing agent, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Minnesota Deed 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.
Alexandria Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Alexandria home at $297,600 in August 2026, 3.8% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure blends the whole city, from newer houses to those built before 1900, so it says little about any one property. Condition, location and how much work a house needs can put a specific home well above or below it.
If you are weighing a cash offer against listing, compare the total you would keep in each case, after repairs, agent commission, carrying costs and the time the house sits. Our offer arrives in writing within one business day so you can make that comparison on real numbers.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Alexandria
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.

The Silk Stocking Neighborhood
East of Lake Winona, roughly bounded by Cedar and Douglas Streets and 6th to 12th Avenues, sits the Alexandria Residential Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1991 and known locally as the Silk Stocking neighborhood. Its roughly 60 houses, the oldest the 1868 Stevens House, mostly date from the late 1800s and early 1900s and were built largely for the city's early professional class. The district listing covers these specific houses; homes on nearby streets vary in age and style. If your own house sits in this district or carries a historic designation, mention it when you call so we can factor it in.

Alexandria and Douglas County Seller Questions
Douglas County Owners Ask Us These Before Selling
Timing, condition, tenants, liens, probate, mobile homes and costs, answered plainly.
How fast can you close on my Alexandria house?
Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days. If you need more time, we can plan for a later date. You will have a written offer within one business day of sending the address, and the closing date is set in the purchase agreement.
Do I have to make repairs or clean out the house first?
No. We buy houses in the condition they are in, and the offer already accounts for that. You can leave furniture or belongings you do not want, though it helps to tell us what you plan to remove.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Alexandria 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. A real estate attorney licensed in Minnesota can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can selling my Alexandria 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 Minnesota, a foreclosure generally proceeds by notice and sale (foreclosure by advertisement) rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the sale process, 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 Minnesota can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Minnesota page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Alexandria?
It depends on how title was held and Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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.
Can I sell my Alexandria 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.
How do you decide what my house is worth in cash?
We look at the address, the condition, the work the house would need and what similar houses nearby have sold for. The offer is in writing so you can read the numbers, compare them with listing the house, and say no if it does not suit you.
Do you buy houses that have tenants living in them?
Yes. You do not need to wait for the lease to end. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though how it works depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy along with the rent amount and we will explain how it fits into the sale.
Can you buy a mobile or manufactured home in Douglas County?
Yes, when you own the land under it. We do not buy a mobile home that sits in a park or on a rented lot. If the home and the land are yours, send us the address and tell us about both.
What happens to belongings left in the house?
Take what you want and tell us what you plan to leave. Furniture and household items can stay in many cases. Say so when you send the address, and the purchase agreement will state what is included.
Can I sell from out of town or while I'm away from a lake property?
Yes, in many cases. You can send us the address from anywhere, and we handle most of the steps by phone and email. The paperwork goes through a title or closing company, and it will explain what it needs from you and how signing works.
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 title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Alexandria 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 Alexandria: about 0.33% of the net price (slightly higher in a few counties); customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.
Does it matter if my house is in Alexandria's historic district?
It does not change the basic process. Tell us if your house carries a historic designation or sits in the Silk Stocking neighborhood, and we will factor that into how we look at the house before making an offer.
Does asking for an offer commit me to sell?
No. The offer is a written proposal. You can compare it with other options and take as long as you like to decide. If you accept, the purchase agreement sets out the price, timeline and other terms 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.
