What People Say About Working With Us
I had a great experience and they are wonderful to work with. Very understanding with my goals.
My husband and I called Eagle Cash Buyers because our house was on the market for almost a year with no bites. We had moved out of our home and to a different state. We called them, it was very simple. We gave them the information on our home and they made an offer that we could not refuse. They took all my calls and questions, and I had a lot. They answered every call the first time I called. They were knowledgeable and helpful and it was such a pleasure and a blessing that we had a great experience. All the other cash home buyers we had called, one low balled us and they were not straight forward. Also our home was very nice, it had a brand new roof and water heater and heater and the attic was freshly insulated. So your home does not need to be trash for you to sell to them.
I had fallen behind on my mortgage and was in the pre foreclosure stage. The property was in a completely different state from where I lived. Eagle Cash Buyers completely saved my peace of mind and sanity. From the initial contact throughout the entire process they, especially Kelly, have been nothing but professional and informative.
Cannot recommend Mr. Oren and his team enough if you have a property or home that you are looking to sell fast. The professionalism and transparency they show is not comparable to other cash home buyers. From the point of initial contact all the way to closing day, the team at Eagle Cash Buyers kept their word with consistent updates throughout the process. Thank you for the integrity you have shown during this time of distress. Highly recommended.

Dormont Homeowners We Help
Dormont sellers reach out for many reasons. Here are the ones we hear about most often, with how a direct sale can work. See also our page on selling a house for cash in Pennsylvania.
Inherited a Dormont house
If a parent or relative left you a house, you may not want to clear it out, pay for repairs or wait through a listing. We can look at an inherited house as it stands. Probate rules vary and depend on the estate, so ask an attorney licensed in Pennsylvania what is needed before a sale.

Tenants living in the house
Selling a rental or a house with tenants can be hard to time on the open market. We can look at a property with tenants in place. What passes to a buyer at closing generally depends on the lease terms, so send the lease if you have it and we will go through it with you.

A house that needs repairs
Worn roofs, old kitchens, water damage and deferred maintenance all cost money before a normal listing. We buy houses in any condition when the numbers work, so you do not repair or clean for showings. We will tell you after we hear about the house whether we can make an offer.
Behind on payments or facing foreclosure
If you are behind on a mortgage or property taxes, a sale may help you avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time. We cannot promise to stop or postpone one. Speak with a HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Pennsylvania about your options.

Owner who has moved away
If you live in another city or state, managing a vacant Dormont house means paying for utilities, upkeep and trips back. We can work with sellers who are far away, and scheduling can be built around your calendar. Send the address and a few details and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.

Selling without a listing
Some sellers prefer a direct sale to listing: no showings, no open houses and no agent commission on a direct sale to us. A listing can bring a higher price in some cases, so compare the options. If you would like a number to compare, send the address and we can usually say whether we can make an offer.
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 Dormont are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Pennsylvania Realty 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 $300,000 sale is about $15,000 to $18,000 | 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 |
| Pennsylvania Realty Transfer Tax | State and local portions set by where the property is; customarily split between buyer and seller. 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 Dormont, 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 had a family member make the first call. Our acquisition manager asked whether the owner could take part, then scheduled a follow-up call so the owner could join. The first call was about the property, its condition and the situation, with no offer on the spot and no paperwork.
What happens on the first call about your Dormont house
Many sellers are only exploring options when they first reach out. The first call is built for that.
We ask about the house
Our acquisition manager asks about the property, its condition and your situation. That is the purpose of the call.
We confirm the owner is on the line
At Eagle, the owner, or the person with legal authority to sell, takes part in the conversation before anything moves forward. If a family member calls first, we can set up a call that includes the owner.
No offer on the spot, no paperwork
The first call is basic: it is for gathering details, so we usually do not make an offer during it, and nothing needs to be signed. If we can make an offer, it follows in writing, usually within one business day.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with Pennsylvania attorneys and title companies who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing attorney or title company 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. For more on the traditional listing route, see the Pennsylvania home selling guide from the PA Association of Realtors - and then decide which path fits you. 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 Dormont, 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 Pennsylvania page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the closing attorney or title company, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Pennsylvania Realty 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.
How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Dormont
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 Dormont and Allegheny County
A direct sale does not depend on which side of Dormont your house is on. Here are some parts of the borough and its edges, so you can tell us where the house sits when you send the address. We will tell you whether we can make an offer; not every house qualifies.
Neighborhoods and areas in Dormont
Around Dormont Junction station
Dormont Junction is a Red Line light rail station on Raleigh Avenue, and West Liberty Avenue is one block uphill. The current station was built in 1985. If your house is near the station, mention that when you describe it, because many buyers consider the walk to transit.
Potomac Avenue and Broadway
The Potomac station, at Broadway and Potomac Avenues, is another Red Line stop in Dormont and opened on May 22, 1987. A house near either street can be described by its cross streets. Tell us the street and we can start from there when we look at the property.
Dormont Pool and the Historic District
The Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office describes Dormont Pool as completed in 1937, with a 1928 Art Deco bath house, and as individually National Register eligible. It also lists a National Register eligible Dormont Historic District that includes the pool. If you are unsure whether eligibility affects your own house, ask the borough before you sell.
Streets along the Mt. Lebanon line
Scott Road and McFarland Road are borough line streets shared with Mt. Lebanon, and McNeilly Avenue is shared with the Brookline neighborhood of Pittsburgh. For a house on one of these streets, tell us which municipality the address is in, since that decides which tax office and local rules apply.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org and pahistoricpreservation.com. Conditions vary from house to house.

Dormont questions
Before you sell a Dormont house for cash, read these answers
Straight answers about offers, closing and what Eagle can and cannot do for a Dormont seller.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Dormont 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 Dormont: state and local portions set by where the property is; customarily split between buyer and seller, subject to the purchase agreement.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Dormont 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. Pennsylvania has the Real Estate Seller Disclosure Law, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Pennsylvania can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can I sell my Dormont 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 Dormont?
It depends on how title was held and Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania 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 Dormont 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 Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the attorney or title company close fast. Our Pennsylvania 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 attorney or title company used for the transaction.
Do you buy mobile homes in Dormont?
We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the house and the land under it, send the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.
How much money will I actually get from selling my Dormont house?
It depends on the offer and on what comes out of the sale. What you still owe on the house is settled at closing, and the purchase agreement states who pays what. A direct sale to Eagle has no agent commission. Send the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.
How can I sell my house in a hurry in Dormont?
A direct sale skips showings and a listing period. If we can make an offer, it usually arrives in writing within one business day, and most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. Title work and any payoff can affect timing.
What is the best month to sell a house in Pennsylvania?
Listings tend to draw more interest in spring, but timing a market is hard, and a house that needs repairs may wait a long time on the market. A direct sale does not depend on the season: you choose the closing date and we can look at the house as it is.
Is Eagle Cash Buyers based in Dormont?
No. Eagle Cash Buyers works in 43 states and has no office in Dormont. We buy houses for cash in the Dormont area by looking at each address, so send us yours and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.
Can I sell my Dormont house if it has tenants?
Often yes, depending on the situation. We can look at a property with tenants in place. What passes to the buyer at closing generally depends on the lease terms, so send us the lease and the rent details and we will go through them with you.
Do I have to clean out or repair my house before selling?
No. At Eagle, you do not have to repair or clean for showings, because there are none. We buy houses in any condition when the numbers work, and we will tell you whether we can make an offer after we hear about the house.
I inherited a house in Dormont. Where do I start?
Start by finding out who is legally able to sell it, which depends on the estate and on Pennsylvania rules. An attorney licensed in Pennsylvania can confirm that. When you are ready, send us the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.
What do you need to know about my Dormont house?
The address, what condition the house is in, whether anyone lives there, and what you are hoping to do. Photos help but are not required. We use this to say whether we can make an offer.
Can a family member call about my house for me?
Yes, a family member can make first contact. At Eagle, the owner of the house takes part in the conversation before anything moves forward, so we would set up a call that includes you.
Is my house on a borough line street in Dormont?
Some Dormont streets, such as Scott Road and McFarland Road, are shared with Mt. Lebanon, and McNeilly Avenue is shared with Brookline. If your address is on one, tell us which municipality it is in when you send it.
Does Pennsylvania have a transfer tax I should know about?
Pennsylvania charges a state realty transfer tax, and many municipalities and school districts add their own. The purchase agreement states who pays what, including the seller's share of any transfer tax. Ask your title company or attorney for the amount that applies to your address.
Can I pick my own closing date?
Yes, within what the title work allows. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.
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.
