What People Say About Working With Us
Cannot recommend Mr. Oren and his team enough if you have a property or home that you are looking to sell fast.

From the point of initial contact all the way to closing day, the team at Eagle Cash Buyers kept their word with consistent updates throughout the process. Thank you for the integrity you have shown during this time of distress. Highly recommended.

Asheville Homeowners We Help
Asheville sellers arrive with very different houses and reasons. Some own a house from the early 1900s that a buyer's inspector would go over line by line, some have a rental or an inherited home, and some are dealing with storm or water damage. Here is how we approach each one.
An Older House That Needs Work
Many houses in Montford, Grove Park and Chestnut Hill date from the late 1800s and early 1900s, and a buyer's inspector looks closely at wiring, plumbing, the roof and the foundation on a house that age. At Eagle, we can usually price the work into the offer when the numbers work, so you generally do not need to repair, clean out or stage anything before you sell.
Inherited a House in Buncombe County
Heirs often live in another state and face a house still full of a parent's belongings. We can buy an inherited house with the contents inside, so you take what matters to you and leave the rest. Someone needs the legal authority to sign the deed first, and a North Carolina estate attorney can tell you what that takes for your family.

A Rental With a Tenant
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move before you sell. We can buy an occupied house. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, which can be us or another investor or purchasing entity we assign the contract to, and what happens next depends on the lease terms. Tell us the rent, any deposit you hold and when the lease ends, and we work that into the offer.

A Vacant House
An empty house still costs you property tax, insurance, utilities and yard work every month, and that is easy to let run longer than you meant. We can buy a vacant house as it stands, and you can leave behind whatever you do not want to move. If you live out of the area, you can sign in person or remotely.

Water, Fire or Storm Damage
Hurricane Helene brought record-breaking flooding to the French Broad and Swannanoa rivers in September 2024, and a burst pipe, a kitchen fire or a roof that let a storm through can leave any house hard to finance until it is repaired. We can look at a damaged house as it stands, and the damage is reflected in the price if the numbers work. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early, because how the claim is handled goes into the agreement before you sign.

Behind on the Mortgage
A foreclosure runs on a schedule, and the notices you have received show where you are on it. A HUD-approved counselor or a North Carolina attorney can go through your options with you. If a sale closes in time and the price covers the lender's payoff and anything else owed on the house, the loan is usually paid at closing. If it falls short, the lender has to agree in writing to accept less. Call early and bring every notice you have.
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 Asheville are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the North Carolina Excise 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 $448,700 sale is about $22,400 to $26,900 | 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 |
| North Carolina Excise Tax | Charged when the deed is recorded; 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 Asheville, 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 family member called on behalf of a homeowner who had sent in an inquiry. Our acquisition manager described that first call as basic, mainly a chance to learn about the property, its condition and the situation. The call was not the place for an offer or paperwork. Because the inquiry was in the owner's name, a three-way call was scheduled so the owner could take part.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with North Carolina 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 Asheville, 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina Excise 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.
Asheville Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Asheville home at $448,700 in August 2026, 5.0% lower than a year earlier. A citywide figure blends renovated houses with ones that still have their original kitchens, so it says little about what one particular house will bring.
When prices are lower than a year ago, buyers usually feel less rush. They compare your house with the updated ones nearby, and once the inspection report arrives they often ask for repairs or a lower price. An Asheville house with an aging roof, dated wiring or foundation work outstanding can sit while those requests pile up.
A sale through an agent usually carries a commission of between 5% and 6% of the sale price; it is negotiable and depends on the agent. As an illustration only, on a sale at $448,700 that would be roughly $22,400 to $26,900, before any repairs a buyer asks for. A direct sale to Eagle carries no agent commission, and a cash offer with no buyer mortgage skips the lender's appraisal. You see the number, the terms and the date in writing before you sign.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Asheville
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 Asheville and Buncombe County
We look at houses across Asheville and throughout Buncombe County, from the older streets of Montford, Chestnut Hill and Grove Park to Biltmore Village and the rest of the city. Where the house sits affects the price we can offer, not whether we will look at it.
Neighborhoods and areas in Asheville
Montford
The Montford Area Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1977, and the city designated it a local historic district in 1981. Most of its roughly 600 buildings, primarily residences, were built between 1890 and 1920, in styles that include Shingle Style, Colonial Revival and Bungalow. If you own a house here, tell us its age and any updates, because our offer is built from the house's actual condition.
Grove Park
The Grove Park Historic District was laid out and developed between 1908 and 1914, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 13, 1989. It has 290 contributing buildings and includes Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Bungalow dwellings. Houses in a district like this vary a great deal, so a short description of yours and a few photos help us put a number on it.
Chestnut Hill
The Chestnut Hill Historic District, a mostly residential area of about 55 acres, was developed in the late 19th and early 20th century and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 17, 1983. It has 238 contributing buildings, with Colonial Revival and Bungalow houses among them, and at least eight were designed by Richard Sharp Smith. If you are selling a house here, tell us about any past repairs and we can work from what is there.
Biltmore Village
The Biltmore Village Cottage District, on Swan Street, All Souls Crescent and Boston Way, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1979. It has 14 contributing residential buildings, built about 1900 for George W. Vanderbilt and designed by Richard Sharp Smith as half-timbered cottages. Many now house shops and other businesses, so the village is mostly commercial today. A small, distinctive house is easier to value when we know its size, its updates and what the land includes, so send those with the address.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Asheville and Buncombe County Seller Questions
Older Houses, Storm Damage and Inherited Homes: What Asheville Sellers Ask
Repairs, closing in North Carolina, rentals, inherited houses and selling from a distance, answered briefly.
Do I have to fix anything before you buy my Asheville house?
No. Dated wiring, a roof near the end of its life or years of put-off maintenance are things we price into the offer, if the numbers work. You do not patch, paint or deep-clean first, and you can leave behind anything you do not want to move.
Who handles a North Carolina closing, and do I need my own attorney?
The closing is handled by an attorney or title company. It runs the title search, pays off your mortgage and anything else that has to be cleared when the price covers it, sends you the rest and records the deed with the Buncombe County Register of Deeds. You are free to bring in your own attorney at any point, and it is worth doing for probate, foreclosure or a title dispute.
How do you work out a cash offer on an Asheville house?
We start from what the house could sell for on the market, using recent sales of similar homes nearby. From that we take off the repair work the house needs and the costs of reselling it, and we leave a margin for the business. The written offer shows the price and the terms. You are free to turn it down, and comparing it with other offers is a good idea.
Do you buy in every part of Asheville?
We look at houses from Montford, Grove Park, Chestnut Hill and Biltmore Village to the streets around them and across Buncombe County. Whether we can make an offer depends on the property, the value and whether the numbers work, not on the condition of the house.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Asheville?
It depends on how title was held and North Carolina 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 North Carolina 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 Asheville 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 North Carolina, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the deed of trust after a hearing before the clerk of court. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the clerk of court and the trustee, 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 North Carolina can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the attorney or title company close fast. Our North Carolina page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Can I sell my Asheville 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 still have to make disclosures if I sell my Asheville 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 North Carolina can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can someone else call you for me, such as my spouse or an adult child?
Yes, a family member can make the first contact, and that first call is usually basic: we ask about the property, its condition and the situation. At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. Legal signing authority is a separate point, and the closing attorney confirms whose signature is required.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Asheville?
We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own both the home and the land, in Asheville or elsewhere in Buncombe County, we can look at them together and make one offer if the numbers work.
My Asheville house has fire, flood or water damage. Will you still make an offer?
We can look at it. We buy houses in any condition when the numbers work, and the damage is reflected in the price, so you do not need to repair or clear out damaged rooms first. If an insurance claim is open, mention it on the first call.
Are home prices dropping in Asheville?
Zillow's Home Value Index for Asheville was 5.0% lower in August 2026 than a year earlier. For your sale, how your house compares with the updated ones nearby matters more than the citywide trend.
How can I sell my Asheville house quickly?
Listing with an agent can bring a higher price, but it usually means home staging, showings, repairs a buyer asks for and a wait for a buyer's financing. Selling to a cash buyer like Eagle skips those steps. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.
Do I have to be in Asheville to close?
Usually not. You can sign in person or remotely, and the closing attorney or title company can often arrange a mobile notary or mail the signing package. Your proceeds are paid at closing.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Homeowners in 43 states, North Carolina among them, can request a written cash offer from Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC. We are BBB accredited. We either buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to another investor or purchasing entity, and the agreement states that right before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Asheville 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 Asheville: charged when the deed is recorded; customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.
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.
