What People Say About Working With Us
After talking with several other cash buyers and real estate agents I talked with Alex and he really worked with me and got me the best deal. Down to earth and straight with facts.
I had a great experience and they are wonderful to work with. Very understanding with my goals.
Experienced and trustworthy! It has been great to work with Oren from Eagle Cash Buyers.
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.

Columbia Homeowners We Help
Columbia sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home near the downtown historic districts, some are managing a rental or an inherited house in Maury County, and some are just ready to move on without a listing.
An Older House That Needs Work
Columbia has houses from the early 1800s through the 1940s. If yours needs a new roof, updated wiring or a full renovation, you can sell it as it is. You do not need to repair anything before you sell; we base our offer on the house as it stands.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end before you sell. We can buy a house with tenants living in it. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and the details depend on the lease terms.

An Inherited House in Maury County
A house you inherited can be a burden when you live elsewhere. Tell us where things stand and we will explain what we need to move forward. Details of the estate are best confirmed with a Tennessee probate attorney.

Behind on Payments or Property Taxes
If a mortgage is past due or back taxes are owed, selling can be an option to look at before it gets worse. In many cases the mortgage payoff and back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, if the sale brings in enough to cover them. Our Tennessee page and an attorney can explain the details for your situation.
Fire, Water or Storm Damage
A house with fire, water or storm damage can be hard to list, since many buyers need financing and an inspection. We buy houses in their current condition, and that includes damage you have not repaired.

Moving on Your Own Schedule
Maybe you are relocating for work or downsizing, and you want to avoid showings and open houses. You pick the closing date, 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 Columbia are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Tennessee 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 $371,700 sale is about $18,600 to $22,300 | 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 |
| Tennessee Transfer Tax | About 0.37% of value; the contract decides who pays. 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 Columbia, 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 a closing date he needed to meet for a move. He had another offer that was higher, and he chose our offer because it fit the closing date he needed. We explained that the title company pays back taxes directly out of the sale proceeds at closing, so he would not need to clear the balance first.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Tennessee 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 Columbia, 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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.
Columbia Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Columbia home at $371,700 in August 2026, 1.1% higher than a year earlier (https://www.zillow.com/research/data/).
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A home that needs work, or one with a tenant or a damaged roof, can be worth a different amount.
Financing can add a step when you list. A buyer using a mortgage usually needs an appraisal and often orders an inspection, and repair requests can follow. A cash offer from us does not depend on a buyer's loan.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Columbia
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.

This historic district was listed on the National Register in 1978. The National Park Service record lists Bungalow/Craftsman, Greek Revival and Late Victorian among its styles.

Columbia and Maury County Seller Questions
Questions Maury County Owners Ask Before Selling
Older houses, tenants, closing costs, liens, probate and how our offer works, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Columbia 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 Columbia: about 0.37% of value; the contract decides who pays.
Can I sell my Columbia 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 Columbia?
It depends on how title was held and Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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 Columbia 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 Tennessee can confirm which disclosures apply.
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 selling my Columbia 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 Tennessee, a home loan secured by a deed of trust is generally foreclosed by a trustee's sale rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the trustee or 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 Tennessee can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Tennessee page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Is now a good time to sell a house in Columbia?
It depends on your house and your plans. Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Columbia home at $371,700 in August 2026, 1.1% higher than a year earlier, but a typical value says little about one house. If your house needs work or you need to move on a set date, a cash sale can be simpler than listing.
What's the quickest way to sell your house?
Selling to a cash buyer is usually quicker than a listing, since there is no need to wait for a buyer's loan. We make a written offer within one business day, and most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. A traditional listing involves a realtor, showings and a buyer's mortgage, which can take longer.
How much does a realtor make off of a $300,000 house?
A common illustration is a commission of 5% to 6%, which would be $15,000 to $18,000 on a $300,000 sale. Rates are negotiable and vary. Selling costs on a listing can include other items too, and with a cash sale to us you do not pay a realtor commission.
Do I have to make repairs or clean out the house first?
No. We buy houses as they are, including older houses in Columbia with worn systems or deferred work. You can leave behind items you do not want, and we can talk through what stays with the house.
Do you buy houses with fire or water damage in Columbia?
Yes, in most cases. We make an offer based on the house in its current condition, and you do not need to repair the damage first. Send us the address and tell us what happened.
Do you buy mobile homes in Columbia?
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 mobile home is on land you own in Maury County, send the address and we will take a look.
Can you buy a house in Columbia that has tenants in it?
Yes. You do not have to end the lease or ask anyone to leave first. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and the details depend on its terms, so have your lease handy when you contact us.
How does a cash sale compare with selling to an iBuyer?
Both avoid the usual showings, but they work differently. An iBuyer is typically an online program and may charge service fees. With Eagle Cash Buyers you get a written offer within one business day and we pay the closing costs except your share of any transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, back taxes and other debts are paid from your proceeds. Compare the written terms of any offer before you decide.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Homeowners in 43 states can request a written cash offer from Eagle Cash Buyers. It has 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews. The company is BBB accredited, and Oren Sofrin is the founder and CEO. We may buy directly or assign the contract to another purchasing entity, and that is disclosed in the 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.
