What People Say About Working With Us
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.
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.
Eagle Cash Buyers did a great job, and responded quickly. Thank you.
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.

East Providence Homeowners We Help
East Providence is a city of villages, and each has its own kind of house. One owner has a Riverside cottage that started as a summer place, another a worker's house in the Phillipsdale mill village, a third has just inherited a parent's home and lives out of state. Each of those sales runs a little differently, and selling a house for cash in Rhode Island goes more smoothly when the buyer starts from your actual house and paperwork.
A Former Summer Cottage in Riverside
Many Riverside cottages began as summer places and later became year-round homes. What has been updated since differs from one house to the next. You do not need to sort that out before you sell: we price the house as it stands, and any repairs become our job.
A Worker's House in Phillipsdale
Phillipsdale grew up as a mill village, with housing built for the mill's workers. A house from that era can be hard to value from a listing photo. We look at it as it stands, with whatever has or has not been replaced over the decades, and make one written offer.
Tenants in Your East Providence Rental
You do not have to wait for a lease to run out or ask anyone to leave. We buy occupied houses, and the lease and your tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing: us, or the buyer named in the agreement. Bring copies of the leases and a note of any security deposits you hold, so they can be accounted for at closing.

Inherited a House in East Providence
In Rhode Island each city and town has its own probate court, and East Providence's sits in City Hall on Taunton Avenue. When a parent owned the house in their name alone, an estate procedure is often needed before anyone can sign a deed; a house held in a trust may not need one. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture and all, and a Rhode Island estate attorney can confirm which route applies to you.

Behind on the Mortgage
Rhode Island law generally requires a lender to offer a mediation conference before it forecloses on an owner-occupied home of up to four units, and a HUD-approved counselor or a Rhode Island attorney can tell you where you stand. A sale that closes before the foreclosure sale can pay off the loan if the price covers what you owe; what is left after other liens, fees and your share of costs comes to you. If the price does not cover the payoff, you would need to make up the difference at closing or get the lender to agree in writing to accept less. Call early and bring every notice you have.
Living Outside Rhode Island
If a job or a move has taken you away from East Providence, you do not need to come back to sell. The closing agent can send your documents to a notary where you live, and your proceeds are wired to you when the closing agent releases funds. If you live outside Rhode Island, ask the closing agent before closing whether anything will be withheld from your proceeds.
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 East Providence are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Rhode Island Conveyance 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 |
| Rhode Island Conveyance Tax | $3.75 per $500 of the price; the seller's unless the contract says otherwise. 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 East Providence, 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
A homeowner had sent us an inquiry, and her husband called first to get things started. Our acquisition manager saw the inquiry was in her name and asked whether she could take part, because our policy is that the owner who made the inquiry joins the conversation before anything moves forward. He set up a three-way call for when the husband was back home. He described that first call as a basic one, meant to learn about the property and its condition.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with Rhode Island 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. 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 East Providence, 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 Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island Conveyance 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 East Providence
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 East Providence and Providence County
We buy across East Providence, from the Riverside shoreline to Rumford, Watchemoket, Phillipsdale and Kent Heights, and elsewhere in Providence County. If your house is anywhere in the city, in 02914, 02915 or 02916, we cover it.
Neighborhoods and areas in East Providence
Riverside
The southern end of the city was a summer colony from after the Civil War into the 1920s, when campsites grew into resort hotels and amusement parks; the Crescent Park Carousel dates from that era. Many of the summer cottages became year-round homes, and newer houses have been built there since. Whatever a house's history, the written offer is based on that house as it stands.
Rumford
Rumford lies north of the Ten Mile River and is the city's original settlement area, dating to 1643. It stayed mostly farmland until the 1930s, apart from the Rumford Chemical Works, which began in 1857, and today it is largely a residential suburb of Providence. A house here is priced from recent sales nearby, and you do not need to change anything before selling to us.
Watchemoket
The most central of the city's neighborhoods, Watchemoket began developing as a Providence suburb in the 1840s and kept growing through the 1920s. Interstate 195 runs through it, and much of the city's commercial, institutional and municipal life is here. With houses built over that long a stretch, the offer rests on your own house's condition and recent nearby sales.
Phillipsdale
A mill village on the Seekonk River and Omega Pond, named for Eugene Phillips, president of the Washburn Wire Company. Its National Register historic district, listed in 2011, holds 75 units of worker housing and five houses older than the mill, the oldest from about 1750. Whether your house is in the historic district or newer, we price it on its own condition, with the repairs left to us.
Kent Heights
Farmland along Pawtucket Avenue that the Kent family had worked since the 18th century, Kent Heights filled with contractor-built subdivisions during the rapid residential growth after World War II. A house from that period sells to us the same way any other does: a written offer within one business day and a closing date you choose.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including eastprovidenceri.gov and en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Rhode Island and East Providence Seller Questions
Questions East Providence Homeowners Have Before Selling for Cash
Older cottages and mill-village houses, rentals with tenants, inherited estates, mortgage trouble and closing from out of state, in short answers.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my East Providence 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 Rhode Island can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Rhode Island?
An attorney or title company. It runs the title search, gets the payoff figures, prepares the settlement statement and arranges for the deed to be recorded; in East Providence, land evidence records are kept by the City Clerk's office at City Hall. You are welcome to have your own attorney review the purchase agreement before you sign. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days, and you pick the date.
Can selling my East Providence 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 Rhode Island, a home loan secured by a mortgage with a power of sale is generally foreclosed by a sale under that power rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the sale process, 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 Rhode Island can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Rhode Island page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on an East Providence house?
We start from what the house would sell for once repaired, using recent sales of similar homes close by. Then we take off the cost of the work it needs, our costs to hold and resell it, and our margin. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net, and you are free to turn it down.
What happens on the first call?
It is a basic conversation about the property, its condition and your situation. There is no offer on the spot and no paperwork to sign. The owner, or whoever has authority to sell, joins the call before anything moves forward, so if a spouse or relative reached out first, we will set up a time when they can be on the line.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in East Providence?
It depends on how title was held and Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island 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. East Providence estates go through the city's probate court at City Hall, 145 Taunton Avenue.
Can I sell my East Providence 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 you buy in every part of East Providence?
Yes. We buy in Riverside, Rumford, Watchemoket, Phillipsdale, Kent Heights and every other part of the city, in 02914, 02915 and 02916. Where the house sits usually shows up in the price, since the offer is based on nearby sales, but we make offers in all of them.
My East Providence house has fire or water damage. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. We price fire, smoke and water damage into the offer, so you do not need to repair or clear out damaged rooms first. If an insurance claim is open, mention it on the first call.
Can you buy my rental with tenants living in it?
Yes. We buy occupied houses in East Providence. Your tenants do not have to move out and you do not have to wait for leases to end; the leases and the tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing. Security deposits you hold are accounted for on the settlement statement.
Do I have to be in East Providence to close?
No. If you have moved away, the closing agent can send your documents for signing in front of a notary where you live, and your proceeds are wired to you when the closing agent releases funds. Before closing, ask the closing agent whether Rhode Island requires anything to be withheld from your proceeds because you live out of state, so the amount is not a surprise on the settlement statement.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in East Providence?
Only with the land. If you own a manufactured home together with the lot it sits on, in East Providence or elsewhere in Providence County, we can make a single offer for both. We do not buy a mobile home sitting in a park or on a rented lot.
How much money will I actually walk away with?
The offer price, less your mortgage payoff, any other debts against the property, your share of the property tax to the closing date and any transfer tax that falls to you. There is no agent commission, and we cover the other closing costs, apart from any attorney you hire yourself. The closing agent sends you a settlement statement with every line on it before you sign.
