What People Say About Working With Us
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.
Oren and the Eagle Cash Buyers team were extremely efficient throughout the entire sales process. Oren answered my calls day and night unlike other people that I have worked with before. He was very attentive to all my concerns and completely put my mind at ease. I am really looking forward to working with him again and highly recommend Oren plus his team.
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.
Excellent, amazing group, JP is first class. I would recommend Eagle cash buyers anytime.
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.

Chillicothe Homeowners We Help
Chillicothe sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home that has never been fully updated. Others hold a rental, inherited a relative's house in Ross County, or are halfway through buying their next place. Each sale runs a little differently, and the cards below explain how we handle them. See also selling for cash in Ohio.
An Older House That Needs Work
Older roofs, wiring, plumbing and furnaces are common reasons a listing stalls once a buyer's inspector has been through, and plenty of Chillicothe owners hold a house that is simply dated. We look at the house as it is and work the repairs into our offer, so you do not have to fix anything before you sell. Painting, patching and new carpet are not on your list.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not need to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy houses with tenants in them, and the existing lease generally passes to the buyer at closing: us, or another investor or purchasing entity we assign the contract to, as disclosed in the agreement. What happens next depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy and tell us early about any security deposit you hold.

Inherited a House in Ross County
Whether a court process is needed before an inherited house can be sold depends on how it was titled and what the estate papers say, and an Ohio probate attorney can tell you which applies. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture and all, so nobody has to clear out the rooms first.

Behind on the Mortgage
Missed payments can lead to a foreclosure notice sooner than many owners expect. An attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor can explain your options. If you decide to sell, a sale that closes pays off the loan only when the price covers what is owed. Call early, because the sooner we see your notices, the more room there is to plan a closing date around them.
Selling One House While Buying the Next
When the next purchase depends on this sale, the timing matters more than the price. Tell us when you need to be out, and we can set the closing date around your move, including a later date if your new place is not ready. Ask us for the signed purchase agreement if your next seller's agent wants to see that money is coming.
A Vacant or Storm-Damaged House
A house that has sat empty, or one hit by a burst pipe, a fire or a bad storm, can be hard to finance, and a buyer's lender may refuse it until it is repaired. We buy it in that state. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early, because how the claim and any payout are handled gets written into the agreement before you sign.

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 Chillicothe 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 $205,000 sale is about $10,300 to $12,300 | 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 Chillicothe, 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 was selling one house while waiting to buy the next, and his new purchase was running behind the sale. He was worried about having nowhere to go, and our transaction coordinator explained that the timeline could stretch or wait for his own move. He also needed to show other real estate professionals that money was coming, so the coordinator offered to send the signed purchase agreement for that purpose and said many agents will accept it.
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 Chillicothe, 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.
Chillicothe Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Chillicothe home at $205,000 in August 2026, 4.3% higher than a year earlier. A citywide figure shows where prices sit on average and says nothing about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A house with an old roof, dated wiring or a tired kitchen is priced against that figure by every buyer who walks through it, and a retail buyer will expect a lower price, repairs or a credit to make up the difference.
Financing can add a step. A buyer using an FHA or VA loan brings an appraiser who checks the house against that program's minimum property standards, and peeling paint, a worn-out roof or a missing handrail can hold up the loan until they are repaired, often at the seller's expense. A cash offer with no buyer mortgage skips the lender's appraisal. You see the price, the terms and the date in writing before you sign, and the title company handles the closing.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Chillicothe
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.

Chillicothe and Ross County Seller Questions
Chillicothe Seller Questions, Answered Plainly Before Signing
As-is disclosure, older houses, tenants, closing while buying elsewhere, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Chillicothe 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.
Who handles the closing in Ohio, and do I need an attorney?
An Ohio title company or closing agent handles it. It runs the title search, holds the funds, pays off your loan and any liens from the proceeds when the price covers them, and records the deed with the Ross County Recorder before sending you the rest. Many routine sales close this way with no attorney on either side. Probate, foreclosure and title disputes are common reasons to bring one in, and an attorney can tell you whether your sale needs one. Most of our closings take 21 to 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my Chillicothe 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 work out a cash offer on a Chillicothe house?
We begin with what we think the house would sell for once repaired, judged from recent sales of similar homes nearby. From that we subtract the cost of the work it needs, what it costs us to hold and resell it, and a margin for the company, which is why a cash offer sits below full retail. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. It is free to review, you are under no obligation to accept it, and you are welcome to compare it with any other offer.
Do you buy in every part of Chillicothe?
We buy houses across Chillicothe and Ross County, whether they are downtown or on the edge of town. Where the house sits affects the price we can pay. The one exception is mobile homes, which we buy only when the land comes with them.
Can I sell my Chillicothe 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 Chillicothe?
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.
Is selling a Chillicothe house for cash a good idea?
It can be, if you value speed and certainty over the highest possible price. A cash offer comes with no buyer financing to fall through and no repairs for you to pay for, and the written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. A listing may bring a higher price but usually adds repairs, showings and commission. Compare both before you decide.
Can I sell before I have bought my next house?
Yes. Tell us when you need to move, and the closing date can be set around that, including a later date if your next purchase is delayed. A signed purchase agreement is also something you can ask for and show your next seller's agent as evidence that money is coming, and many agents will accept it.
Can you buy a Chillicothe house that still has tenants in it?
Yes. You do not need to hand it over empty or end a lease early. Send us the lease and the rent details when you can, and tell us early about any security deposit you hold. The written offer is built around a house with tenants in it.
Do you buy vacant houses in Chillicothe?
Yes. A vacant house, whether it was inherited, left after a move or simply stopped being rented, is something we can make an offer on. Send the address and tell us about the condition, any open insurance claim and whether the utilities are still on.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Chillicothe?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Chillicothe or elsewhere in Ross County, we can make an offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
How is selling to you different from selling to an iBuyer?
iBuyers tend to focus on newer houses in good condition and often take repair costs off the price after their own inspection. We also buy older and dated houses, and the written offer shows the price and any condition that could change it before you sign. The comparison table on this page sets both next to a traditional listing.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Homeowners in 43 states, Ohio among them, can request a written cash offer from Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. We either buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to another investor or purchasing entity, and the agreement discloses that right before you sign. Check us out however you like, and take the time you need before signing anything.
How much money will I actually walk away with?
The offer price, less your loan payoff, any liens, back taxes or other debts on the property, your share of prorated property taxes and your share of the Ohio Conveyance Fee. You pay no agent commission, and we pay the other closing costs on a sale to us. The title company sends a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Chillicothe 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 Chillicothe: 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.
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.
