Clive Homeowners We Help
Clive sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some are moving for work and cannot keep two mortgages going. Others own a rental, an inherited house or a place that needs more repair than they want to take on.
A House That Needs Work
Roof, kitchen, flooring or a furnace near the end of its life: we look at the house as it stands. You do not need to paint, replace or clean up before you send the address. Our offer reflects the condition, and you decide whether it works for you.
A Move Across Town or Out of State
If a new job or a purchase elsewhere sets your timeline, a cash sale lets you pick the closing date instead of waiting on showings and a buyer's financing. Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, and we can go later when you need the extra time.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out first. We can buy a house with tenants in it. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though how it is handled depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy when you reach out.

Fire, Water or Storm Damage
A burst pipe, a flooded basement or storm damage can leave a house that is hard to sell in the usual way. We buy damaged houses as they are, so you can skip the repair bids if you would rather sell than rebuild. If you have an open insurance claim, tell us, and the agreement will say who keeps any payout.

An Inherited or Vacant House
A house that sits empty still costs you in utilities, insurance and upkeep. If you inherited one, an Iowa attorney can tell you what the estate needs before a sale. We can talk through timing once you know who has the authority to sign.

Selling Without Showings
Staging, open houses and strangers walking through your rooms are not part of this. You send photos or let us walk through the house, we make a written offer, and any later visit is set out in the agreement.
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 Clive are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Iowa Transfer 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 $430,800 sale is about $21,500 to $25,800 | 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 |
| Iowa Transfer Tax | About 0.16% of the price above the first $500. 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 Clive, 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 owed back taxes on his house and had already bought a new home, with a closing date he needed to hit. Another buyer had offered him more, and he said he was getting what he needed out of the house and that we were the first people he had called, so he went with our offer. Our team described how the title company can pay back taxes directly out of the proceeds at closing, so he was not asked to clear the balance beforehand.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Iowa 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 Clive, 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 Iowa 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 Iowa Transfer 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.
Clive Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Clive home at $430,800 in August 2026, 0.9% higher than a year earlier. That is a middle-of-the-market figure for the whole city, not a price for your house.
A typical-value number blends every kind of home in town, so it says little about one house with an older roof or a dated kitchen. A listing sale usually asks you to fix, stage and wait. A cash sale trades some of that price for speed and certainty.
If you have time and a house in good shape, listing with an agent may bring a higher price, and that is a fair choice. If a firm closing date and no repairs matter more to you, ask for our written offer and compare the two side by side.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Clive
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 Clive, Polk County and Dallas County
We buy houses across Clive and the rest of Polk and Dallas counties, from the streets near the Greenbelt Trail to the parts of the city that fall in Dallas County. The exception is a mobile home that is not on land you own.
Neighborhoods and areas in Clive
Clive Greenbelt Trail Corridor
Wikipedia describes the Clive Greenbelt Trail as an 11.3 mile paved trail that follows Walnut Creek and links the Clive Aquatic Center, Clive City Hall, the Clive Library and several parks. If your house sits close to the trail, mention it when you send the address. Being near the trail and parks is part of what comparable nearby sales reflect, so it is part of how we price the house.
The Dallas County Side of Clive
Clive spans two counties. The city has been part of the West Des Moines Community School District since 1962, and the Dallas County portion belongs to the Waukee Community School District. For a seller this matters mostly on paper: tell us which county the parcel is in so the closing agent checks the right county's records and tax bills.
Clive's Older Homes, Near the 1882 Depot
Clive was platted in 1882 and did not incorporate as a city until August 18, 1956, and that its railroad depot dating from 1882 has been restored. If you own a house in the older parts of town, its age and any past updates are worth telling us about, because that is what shapes the offer we write.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Clive and Polk and Dallas County Seller Questions
Clive House Sale Questions, Answered Without the Runaround
Mobile homes, two-county parcels, tenants, damage, back taxes, probate and closing, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Clive 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 Clive: about 0.16% of the price above the first $500, subject to the purchase agreement.
Do you buy mobile homes in Clive?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you own both the home and the lot in Clive, send the address and we will look at it like any other house.
Clive sits in two counties. Does that change how you buy?
Not the offer. Part of Clive is in Polk County and part is in Dallas County, so tell us which one the house is in. That tells the closing agent which county's records to search and where the deed gets recorded.
Can I sell my Clive 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.
Can I sell if the house needs major repairs?
Yes. We buy houses as they are, including ones with old roofs, water damage or worn-out systems. You do not need to repair or clean anything first. Our written offer comes within one business day of getting the address and details.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Clive?
It depends on how title was held and Iowa 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 Iowa 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 Clive 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 Iowa can confirm which disclosures apply.
How fast can the sale close?
Most sales close in 21 to 42 days. You pick the date, and we can close later if you need more time to move. The offer itself comes in writing within one business day, and the closing speed depends on the title work and your plans.
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 I sell a rental with tenants in it?
Yes. We can buy a house with tenants living in it. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens next depends on the lease terms. Send a copy of the lease and the rent details with your address.
Can selling my Clive 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 Iowa, 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 Iowa can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Iowa page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do I need to be in Clive to sell?
No. Much of the process can be done by phone, email and electronic signature, so a seller who has moved away or lives out of state can still close. Tell us your timeline and we will plan around it.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Eagle Cash Buyers is a company that buys houses for cash. Homeowners in 43 states can request a written cash offer from Eagle. We are BBB accredited and have 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, which are real reviews and not specific to Clive. Founder and CEO Oren Sofrin reviews the content on this site.
Will you make me an offer if the house is in rough shape inside?
Yes. A cluttered, outdated or damaged house is still a house we can price. Send the address and a few details. We write the offer for the house as it is, and you are free to say no.
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.
