What People Say About Working With Us
Alex was great at explaining things that I wasn't sure meant. And got me what I was asking for on my property.
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.
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.
Very accommodating. Made the process easy and not stressful.
One of these describes a closing faster than our normal range. We move as fast as the title work allows, but most transactions close in roughly 21 to 42 days.

Celina Homeowners We Help
Celina sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own a lake cottage that has turned into more upkeep than they want, others an older house in town or a rental that has been hard to manage.
A House Near the Lake You No Longer Use
Homes and cottages sit along the shore of Grand Lake St. Marys, and some owners find the upkeep is more than they want to keep up with. If you would rather not clean it out, repaint or fix the dock before listing, send us the address and we will look at the house as it stands.
An Older House That Needs Work
Celina has houses from many decades, and an older one can need a roof, wiring, plumbing or a new furnace. You do not have to fix any of it first. We price the repairs into the offer and you skip the contractors, the inspections and the showings.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
We buy rentals with tenants living in them, so you do not have to wait for a lease to end. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for your tenants depends on the lease terms, so we ask to see a copy early.

An Inherited House You Do Not Want to Keep
An inherited house can mean a long drive, a stack of belongings and bills to pay while it sits. We can buy it as it is, furnishings included, and work with your timeline while the estate paperwork is completed. An Ohio probate attorney can confirm who has authority to sign.

Behind on Payments or Facing Foreclosure
If missed payments are piling up, a quick sale may leave you with more options than waiting. Tell us where things stand and we will explain how an offer would work. Your own attorney can confirm what your lender and the court will require.

A Move You Need to Make on Your Own Schedule
A new job, a family change or a house in another state can make a normal listing hard to manage. You pick the closing date within what the title company can do, and most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.
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 Celina 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 $242,800 sale is about $12,100 to $14,600 | 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 |
| 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 Celina, 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
A family member who called us on the owner's behalf was calling around to several cash buyers to see who would offer the most. Our acquisition manager walked through how an offer is worked out, starting from what the house could sell for, then taking off repairs, resale costs and a margin. She planned to have a local agent check the math, which is what we would want any seller to do.
We are not saying this was an Ohio 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 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 Celina, 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.
Celina Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Celina home at $242,800 in August 2026, 5.0% 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 lake cottage that needs a new roof and an updated ranch in town will not sell for the same number, which is why we look at your actual house.
A cash offer is built from what the house would be worth repaired, less the work, the costs of reselling it and our margin. Because we buy as-is, you do not pay for repairs, showings or agent commissions, and you can compare our written offer against a listing before you decide.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Celina
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 Celina and Mercer County
We buy across Celina and throughout Mercer County, from the streets around downtown to the homes near Grand Lake St. Marys. The areas below are two places sellers ask about.
Neighborhoods and areas in Celina
Downtown Celina
The Celina Main Street Commercial Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1982. The Mercer County Courthouse and the shops around Main Street are the center of town. For a seller close to downtown, location near the courthouse and Main Street is part of what buyers look at, and we can still buy the house in the condition it is in.
Grand Lake St. Marys Shoreline
Celina sits on the northwestern shores of Grand Lake St. Marys, and the lake's shoreline mixes park facilities with private property, with homes and cottages built along it over time. Lakefront and lake-view houses can be seasonal or second homes, which may leave a seller with a house that sits empty part of the year. We buy houses like these as they are, furnishings and all, with no need to stage or show them.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Celina and Mercer County Seller Questions
Celina Homeowners Weigh a Cash Sale: Your Questions
Closing costs, lake houses, mobile homes, liens, probate and foreclosure, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Celina 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 Celina: 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.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Celina 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.
Can I sell my Celina 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 Celina?
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.
Can selling my Celina 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 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.
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.
Do you buy mobile homes in Celina?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy mobile homes in a park or on a rented lot. If your home is on land you own in or around Celina, send us the address and we will take a look.
How fast can you close on my Celina house?
We make a written offer within one business day of getting the address. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You choose the closing date, so a quick sale is your option and not a requirement.
Do you buy houses near Grand Lake St. Marys?
Yes, in the condition they are in. The one exception is a mobile home on land you do not own. Houses by the lake can have docks, seasonal use or older systems, and none of that stops us from making an offer.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house first?
No. We buy as-is, so you can leave the repairs, the paint and the leftover belongings. We price the work into the offer, and if you want to leave items behind you can tell us during the call.
How do you work out your offer on a Celina house?
We start from what the house would be worth in good shape, then subtract the cost of repairs, the cost of reselling it and a margin. We explain the numbers so you can check them, and you are welcome to compare us with a listing or another cash offer.
Is a cash offer worth considering in a smaller city like Celina?
It depends on your house and your timeline. A listing can bring a higher price if the house is in good shape and you can wait, while a cash sale trades some price for speed and no repairs. We will give you a written offer so you can decide.
What if I live out of town and cannot visit the house?
That is common with inherited and second homes. We can do most of the process by phone, email and a title company, so you may not need to travel to Celina until the end, if at all.
Can I sell with tenants living in the house?
Yes. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and the details depend on the lease terms. Send us a copy and we will talk through how it would work.
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.
