What People Say About Working With Us
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would recommend.
Eagle Cash Buyers LLC provided professional service. They were easy to work with, and were available with prompt communication throughout the process. I look forward to working with them again.
We sold our home to Eagle Cash Buyers. We needed to sell to an investor because we could not afford the cost of repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers stuck to the agreed on price even after finding more damage with the house than originally discussed. Oren communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Eagle Cash Buyers for buying our house and helping us move on with our life.
Excellent, amazing group, JP is first class. I would recommend Eagle cash buyers anytime.

Corte Madera Homeowners We Help
Corte Madera sellers come to us from very different houses: an older hillside home that needs work, a rental with tenants already in place, a home going through Marin County probate, or a house priced well above $1 million. Here is how we approach a few of the situations we see most.
An Older Hillside Home That Needs Work
Many of Corte Madera's older homes sit on steep, narrow, winding streets laid out decades ago. That can complicate a traditional sale and financing. We buy these houses as-is, in whatever condition they're in, without asking you to make repairs first.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not need to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out before you sell. We buy occupied rental houses in Corte Madera, and an existing lease generally passes to the buyer at closing; exactly how that works depends on the lease's own terms, which we review as part of the offer.

An Inherited Home Going Through Probate
Selling a house you inherited in Marin County while probate is still open is common, and it usually does not have to wait until the process fully closes, once the executor or administrator has authority to sell. Depending on that authority, a sale may need court confirmation. We work with the estate's attorney on timing and paperwork and can move at the pace the estate needs.

A House Priced Well Above $1 Million
Corte Madera's typical home value runs well into seven figures, and a higher price generally does not change how we build an offer: we look at the house's condition, size and lot, and recent activity for comparable homes nearby, the same approach we use on any house we buy.

A Home Near One of the Town's Lagoons
Several Corte Madera neighborhoods sit along town-maintained lagoons built for flood control, and some homes have private docks that need town permits for repair work. We buy these houses as they are; permit status and dock condition are things we sort out with you, not reasons to turn a house away.
Unpermitted Work or a Seismic Retrofit Question
An addition without permits, an older foundation, or an unfinished seismic retrofit can turn up in any older house. We factor real conditions like these into the offer rather than asking you to resolve them before you sell.
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 Corte Madera are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Documentary 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 $1,846,000 sale is about $92,300 to $110,800 | 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 |
| Documentary Transfer Tax | County tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own. 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 Corte Madera, 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
One homeowner's husband called on her behalf, saying she had him reaching out to see what options were out there. Before discussing the property, our acquisition manager noticed the inquiry was in her name and asked directly whether she was able to join the call; told that it was simply her house and she had asked him to make first contact, our acquisition manager scheduled a joint call for later that day, once she could join too. The call ended there, with nothing about the property discussed and no offer on the table yet.
We are not saying this was a California 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 California 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 Corte Madera, 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 California 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 Documentary 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.
Corte Madera Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Corte Madera home at $1,846,000 in August 2026, 9.4% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole town, not the condition of any one house, so it is a starting point for a conversation, not an appraisal of your property.
Financing can add a step for a traditional buyer at this price point. A lender's appraiser checks the house against comparable sales and may flag deferred maintenance, unpermitted work, or an older foundation before approving a loan; a cash purchase does not depend on that appraisal.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Corte Madera
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 Corte Madera and Marin County
We buy across Corte Madera and the rest of Marin County, from hillside streets like those on Christmas Tree Hill to the lower, level neighborhoods near Highway 101.
Neighborhoods and areas in Corte Madera
Christmas Tree Hill
One of Corte Madera's oldest sections, subdivided beginning in the 1890s into small lots on narrow, zig-zagging streets climbing toward Mt. Tamalpais. The Town's General Plan notes that staircases and footpaths, many laid out on subdivision easements decades ago, link the hillside's narrow and winding streets. On a steep, older lot, access and parking can be one more thing a traditional buyer's lender and inspector look at; a cash sale doesn't hinge on a lender's requirements.
Chapman Park
A hillside residential area south of Tamalpais Drive. The Town's General Plan names Chapman, along with Christmas Tree Hill, as a hillside area served by staircases and earth trails that link the residential streets. For a seller, a sloped lot or steps up to the front door is something we price as it is, rather than something to fix before a sale.
Madera Gardens
Built in two phases between the early 1950s and mid-1960s on former tideland that had been diked and drained for a dairy farm, Madera Gardens has wide, level streets. The final phase added two lagoons for flood control; the Town now maintains seven lagoons and canals town-wide, and new or replacement dock work generally needs Town permits (building, and sometimes encroachment or erosion-control). That's a detail worth knowing before you list, and one we account for rather than treat as a reason to pass on a house.

Corte Madera and Marin County Seller Questions
Selling in Corte Madera: Your Questions, Answered
Hillside access, lagoon-side homes, probate, tenants, and closing costs, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Corte Madera 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. California sellers commonly complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in California can confirm which disclosures apply.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Corte Madera?
It depends on how title was held and California 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 California 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 I sell my Corte Madera 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.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Corte Madera 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 Corte Madera: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.
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 Corte Madera 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 California, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust 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 sale process, 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 California can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our California page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Corte Madera?
Yes, when you own both the home and the land underneath it. We don't buy manufactured homes that sit in a mobile-home community or on a rented lot, since the land itself is part of what we're buying.
Can I sell a Corte Madera rental if I still have tenants in place?
Yes. You don't need to wait for the lease to end or ask anyone to move out first. The lease generally passes to the new owner at closing, though exactly how that plays out depends on the lease's own terms, which we look at as part of the offer.
How do you calculate a cash offer on a Corte Madera home priced above $1 million?
The same way we price any house: condition, size, lot and recent sales of comparable homes nearby. A higher price point doesn't change the method, just the numbers that go into it.
My Corte Madera home has unpermitted work or an unfinished seismic retrofit. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Unpermitted additions, an older foundation, and partial retrofits can turn up in any older house, and we factor real conditions like these into the offer rather than asking you to resolve them before selling.
Do you buy houses on Corte Madera's narrow hillside streets, like Christmas Tree Hill?
Yes. Streets there are narrow and winding, and some lots are steep. A cash purchase doesn't depend on a lender's appraisal, so a hard-to-reach or unusual lot is something we work around rather than a reason to say no.
My house is near one of Corte Madera's lagoons and the dock needs work. Does that affect a sale?
It won't stop a sale to us. Several Corte Madera neighborhoods sit along Town-maintained flood-control lagoons, and new or replacement dock work there generally needs Town permits. We factor the dock's condition and permit status into the offer instead of treating it as a reason to pass.
I'm selling because of a divorce. Does that change how you work with me?
No. We make one offer based on the house. Everyone who must sign, and any court order or settlement in the divorce, determines how the sale and proceeds are handled; your attorneys can confirm that. We can work with both parties' attorneys on timing if that helps.
My house has fire or water damage. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. We buy houses with fire, water, mold or other damage in the condition they're in. Tell us about it when you reach out so the offer reflects the actual work involved.
Who handles the closing when I sell in California, and do I need an attorney?
A California title or escrow company handles the closing. It runs the title search, holds the funds, and pays off your mortgage and most recorded liens at closing out of the sale proceeds, when the price covers them and payoffs or releases can be obtained. You're welcome to have your own attorney review anything before you sign.
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.
