What People Say About Working With Us
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.
Allan was very helpful and the process was fast and easy. I highly recommend.
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.
I had an inherited house in Westerville, OH that needed major repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers gave me a fair cash offer the same day I called and we closed in just 12 days, as-is with zero realtor commissions. Oren's team handled everything and kept me in the loop the whole time.
One of these reviews mentions a faster closing than usual. We move as fast as the title work allows, but most transactions close in roughly 21 to 42 days.

Amherst Homeowners We Help
Amherst sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Here are the situations we hear most, and how a cash sale handles each.
A House That Needs Work
Roof, plumbing, wiring, a kitchen from another decade: you do not have to fix any of it first. We buy as-is, so there are no repair bills before you sell and no contractors to schedule. We look at the house as it stands and base the offer on that.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to leave. We can buy a house with tenants living in it. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it with you.

An Inherited House
A house that comes down from a parent or relative can turn into a long list of decisions, taxes and upkeep from a distance. If it is yours to sell, we can make the sale simple and let you pick the closing date. Court steps, if any, vary by case, so an attorney can confirm what applies to you.

Behind on Payments or Taxes
If the house has back taxes or a mortgage you are struggling with, tell us early. A sale can sometimes settle the balance out of the proceeds at closing, if the price covers it. We will say plainly whether the numbers work, before you agree to anything.
Moving on a Deadline
A new job, a house already bought, a family move: some sales have a date attached. You choose the closing day, and most close in 21 to 42 days. If you need longer, say so and we plan around it.
Vacant or Fire-Damaged Houses
An empty house still costs money in taxes, insurance and utilities, and fire or water damage makes it harder to list. We buy houses in these conditions. You do not need to clean out, repaint or stage anything before we make an offer.

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 Amherst are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Ohio Conveyance Fee 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 $285,100 sale is about $14,300 to $17,100 | 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 |
| Ohio Conveyance Fee | State fee of $1.00 per $1,000, plus a county fee of up to $3.00 per $1,000. 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 Amherst, 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 who contacted us had back taxes owed on the house, a new home already bought and a closing date to meet. Another offer was higher, but the homeowner chose a fast, certain closing instead. The homeowner was told the title company could pay the back taxes out of the proceeds at closing, as long as the price covered them, so the balance did not have to be cleared beforehand.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Ohio 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 Amherst, 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 Ohio 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 Ohio Conveyance Fee 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.
Amherst Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Amherst home at $285,100 in August 2026, 5.6% 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 house that needs a new roof or has years of deferred upkeep will usually sell below that number, and a fully updated one may sell above it.
Listing with an agent can reach a higher price for a house in good shape, if you have the time for repairs, showings and a buyer's financing to come through. A cash sale trades some of that price for speed, no repairs and a closing date you choose. We will tell you honestly which fits your house.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Amherst
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.

Amherst and Lorain County Seller Questions
Selling a Lorain County House for Cash: What to Ask First
Cash offers, closing, back taxes, inherited houses and mobile homes, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Amherst 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 Amherst: state fee of $1.00 per $1,000, plus a county fee of up to $3.00 per $1,000, subject to the purchase agreement.
Can I sell my Amherst 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 Amherst?
It depends on how title was held and Ohio 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 Ohio 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 Amherst 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. Ohio sellers commonly complete a Residential Property Disclosure Form, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Ohio 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 title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.
Can selling my Amherst 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 Ohio, 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 Ohio can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Ohio page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you decide on a cash offer for my Amherst house?
We look at the house as it is, recent sales nearby and what repairs the next owner would face. You send the address and a few details, and we follow up with a written offer within one business day. There is no obligation to accept.
Do I need to repair or clean out my house before you buy it?
No. We buy houses as-is, including those with deferred repairs, damage or belongings still inside. You do not need to stage or deep clean. If you plan to leave items behind, tell us so it can be agreed in writing.
Who handles the closing in Ohio?
A title company or closing agent normally handles it. It runs the title search, holds the funds and records the paperwork, and any mortgage payoff is paid from the proceeds. You can ask for the closing date that suits you; most sales close in 21 to 42 days.
How long does a cash sale take in Lorain County?
Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and later if you need more time. The date depends on the title search and on when you want to move, so you set the pace.
What is the difference between the City of Amherst and Amherst Township, and does it matter when I sell?
Amherst Township is a separate local government from the City of Amherst, so zoning, permits and some services can differ by address. Deeds for both are recorded with Lorain County. We buy in both; send us the address and we will start on your offer.
Will you buy my mobile home in Amherst?
Yes, when you own the land under it. We do not buy mobile homes in a park or on a rented lot. If you own both the home and the land, send us the address and tell us about the home's condition.
Can I sell a house with tenants living in it?
Yes. We can buy a rental with tenants in place. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy when you contact us.
Can I sell if I still owe money on the mortgage?
Often, yes. The mortgage is normally paid from the sale proceeds at closing, if the price covers the balance. Ask your lender for a payoff figure and we can tell you how it fits the offer.
