What People Say About Working With Us
I received the utmost help from Ms. Kelly with my home. She really went out of her way to help me. I can say she is truly an angel. There are still honest and trustworthy people on this earth.
Eagle Cash Buyers were the best company that I have worked with. The process took about 6 weeks and was closed. Everything was upfront and I was told what was being done every step of the way. This company is highly recommended.
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.

Ann Arbor Homeowners We Help
Ann Arbor sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home in one of the city's historic districts, some are landlords, and some are dealing with an estate, a divorce or damage. These are the situations we hear most. If the house is in Whitmore Lake instead, we buy there too.
An Older House Near Downtown
The city keeps a map of its local historic districts, and the Old West Side is also on the National Register of Historic Places. If your house is old, you may be weighing repairs against selling as it stands. We buy as-is, so you do not have to fix, paint or clean before we make an offer. If the address is inside a district, the city's planning office can tell you what applies to exterior work.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy houses with tenants in them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens next depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and the rent details and we will go through them with you.

An Inherited House
An estate house can be a lot to carry: utilities, taxes, upkeep and family opinions. If you have inherited a house in Washtenaw County, tell us where things stand. We can work around the paperwork and your timing, and an attorney can confirm whether probate or another court step is needed and who has authority to sign before a sale.

Fire, Water or Storm Damage
A damaged house can leave you choosing between repairs, demolition and selling. We look at the house as it is and explain how we reach an offer. If an insurance claim is open, your own carrier or adjuster is the right person to ask about what your policy covers.

Selling During a Divorce
When a house has to be sold as part of a split, a clear timeline helps everyone. We give a written offer within one business day and you pick the closing date. Both owners generally need to agree and sign, and your attorney can tell you whether a settlement or court order affects the sale.

Owning From Out of Town
If you have moved away and the house is sitting empty or being managed from a distance, you do not need to fly in to prepare it. Send photos and the address, and most of the sale can be handled by phone, email and a title company. You can sign remotely if the closing agent arranges it, so you do not have to travel for closing.
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 Ann Arbor are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Michigan Transfer Taxes 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 $526,600 sale is about $26,300 to $31,600 | 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 |
| Michigan Transfer Taxes | State and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; 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, 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 Ann Arbor, 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
A couple who contacted us had a house that burned, and the insurer had declared it a total loss. They had already collected their claim and had a demolition bid, so they asked for a cash offer to compare the two options side by side. Our acquisition manager explained that the preliminary figure was a range rather than a firm number, and when they wanted more time to weigh demolition, the manager left the decision with them and said to call if they chose to move forward. For questions about a policy or payout, the right people are your own carrier or adjuster.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Michigan 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 Ann Arbor, 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 Michigan 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 Michigan Transfer Taxes 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.
Ann Arbor Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Ann Arbor home at $526,600 in August 2026, 3.2% higher than a year earlier. Zillow describes it as a smoothed, seasonally adjusted figure for mid-tier homes across the whole city.
A typical-value figure describes mid-priced homes across the city, not the condition of your house. A house that needs a new roof, has an outdated kitchen or sits next to a busy road can sell for less than the typical value, and a fully updated one for more.
Selling on the open market can mean repairs, showings and a buyer who needs a lender's appraisal to agree with the price. A cash sale trades some of that for speed and certainty. Compare the two before you decide, and ask what each option would cost you after repairs and fees.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Ann Arbor
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.
Where We Buy Houses in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County

Neighborhoods and areas in Ann Arbor
Old West Side
The Old West Side Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1972, and is roughly bounded by 7th, Main and Huron Streets, Pauline Boulevard and Crest Avenue. Wikipedia describes the housing as mostly small one-family houses built between about 1860 and 1914. Because the Old West Side is also a city historic district (first ordinance 1978), exterior work there can need approval, so check the city's historic-district map for your address before planning changes or deciding how to sell.
Old Fourth Ward
The City of Ann Arbor lists the Old Fourth Ward as one of its local historic districts, and its surveys page records the district as adopted in 1983, with the survey updated in 2024. The city's district map shows which addresses are inside. For a seller, the useful step is to check the map for your address and ask the planning office what applies before deciding between renovating and a cash sale as-is.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org and a2gov.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County Seller Questions
Before You Sell in Ann Arbor: Plain Answers to Common Questions
Closing costs, tenants, older houses, damage, divorce, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor: state and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Ann Arbor 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. Michigan sellers commonly complete a Seller Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Michigan can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can I sell my Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor?
It depends on how title was held and Michigan 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 Michigan 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 selling my Ann Arbor 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 Michigan, 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 usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Michigan can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Michigan page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
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.
Does an attorney handle the closing in Michigan, and do I need one?
A title company or closing agent usually handles the paperwork and the funds. Whether you also hire an attorney is your choice. If your situation involves a court order, a trust or a dispute, an attorney can confirm what applies.
Do you buy a mobile home in the Ann Arbor area?
Yes, when you own the land under it. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you are not sure which applies, tell us how the lot is held and we will say.
Can you buy my Ann Arbor rental if it still has tenants?
Yes. You do not need to wait for a lease to end. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means in practice depends on the lease terms. Send us the lease and the rent details.
Do I need to make repairs before you make an offer?
No. We buy houses as they are, so you do not need to repair, paint or clean. We do look at the condition when we work out the offer, and someone may visit to confirm the house matches what you described.
How fast can you close on a house in Ann Arbor?
We send a written offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time, and you choose the date. The exact timing depends on title work and your situation.
Can I sell my house in a divorce?
Often yes, but both owners generally need to agree and sign, and a settlement or court order can affect timing. We can give a written offer and a closing date that fits your schedule. Ask your attorney about anything in your agreement.
My house is in a historic district. Does that stop a cash sale?
Not for a sale. Being inside a city (local) historic district mostly matters for exterior work, and you can check the city's district map for your address. Tell us the address and we will make an offer on the house as it is.
Do you buy houses with fire or other major damage?
We consider houses with serious damage, and we explain how we reach an offer. If an insurance claim is open or a demolition bid is in hand, you can compare both options before deciding. Your own carrier or adjuster can answer questions about your policy.
