I have worked with Eagle Cash Buyers on several deals both personal and investments. They work well with swiftness and professionalism. Their team is friendly and easy to work with!
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would recommend.
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.
Very accommodating. Made the process easy and not stressful.

Eau Claire Homeowners We Help
Eau Claire sellers rarely start from the same place. One owner has a house that has stood since the lumber years and needs its wiring, roof or foundation looked at. Another has a rental with tenants still in it, or inherited a parent's home and now lives in another state. Each of those sales runs a little differently. Below is how we handle the common ones, and our page on selling for cash in Wisconsin covers the process in more detail.
An Older House Near the River
Eau Claire grew up around its sawmills, and the city's historic districts, the Third Ward and Randall Park among them, hold houses from that era. Any house of that age can have older wiring, plumbing or a roof near the end of its life, and a retail buyer's inspector will look at all of it. You do not have to fix anything for us. The repairs come off our offer, and the written offer shows the number before you sign.
A Rental With Tenants In It
Eau Claire is home to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and plenty of houses near campus are rented. You do not have to wait for a lease to run out or ask anyone to move. We buy occupied houses. In most cases the lease stays in force and passes to whoever takes title at closing (us, or a partner if we assign the contract as the agreement allows), and the agreement sets out how deposits and rent are handled.

Water, Fire or Storm Damage
A basement that took on water, a pipe that burst in a cold snap or a kitchen fire can leave a house many lenders will not finance until it is repaired. We buy it in that state and price the work into the offer. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early, because how the claim and any payout are handled is written into the agreement before you sign.

Inherited a House in Eau Claire County
When a parent's house passes to children who live elsewhere, someone has to decide what to do with it while the utility, insurance and tax bills keep arriving. We buy inherited houses with the furniture still inside. Whether probate is needed first depends on how the house was held, and a Wisconsin probate attorney can tell you which route applies.

Behind on the Mortgage
A Wisconsin foreclosure generally goes through the circuit court, and the deadlines inside the case are firm. A HUD-approved counselor or an attorney can explain your options, and our Wisconsin page sets out how the process usually works. A sale that closes before the foreclosure sale pays off the loan if the price covers what is owed; if it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less. Call early and bring every notice you have.

Living Somewhere Else Now
If work or family has taken you out of the Chippewa Valley, you do not need to drive back to sell. The closing agent can mail the documents to you or send a mobile notary, and sends your proceeds by wire or check once the sale is complete, on the timeline the closing agent gives you.
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 Eau Claire are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Wisconsin Transfer Fee 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, 5% on a $300,000 sale is $15,000 | 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 |
| Wisconsin Transfer Fee | 0.3% of the price, imposed on the 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, back taxes and any other debts against the property are paid from your proceeds, as in any sale | 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 Eau Claire, 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
A family member holding power of attorney called us for the owner. She was comparing cash offers and had an online estimate for the house in hand. On the call, our acquisition manager went through how our number is built: what the house would be worth once it was repaired, minus the repairs it needs, minus what it costs us to resell it, minus a margin for the company. She questioned the number and planned to have a local real estate agent check the math, which is what we would want any seller to do.
We are not saying this was a Wisconsin homeowner. We do not attach a case to a state it did not come from, 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 Wisconsin 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 Eau Claire, 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin Transfer Fee 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 Eau Claire
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.

We buy all over Eau Claire, from the historic streets of the Third Ward and Randall Park to the postwar blocks of Putnam Heights on the south side. If your house is anywhere else in the city or in Eau Claire County, we cover it too.
Neighborhoods and areas in Eau Claire
Third Ward
One of three Eau Claire districts identified in the city's 1982 historic survey and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, later enlarged. Its streets hold Victorian-era houses from the lumber years, east of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. A house this age is priced on its own condition, so you can sell to us as it stands.
Historic Randall Park
Another of the three districts from the 1982 survey, placed on the National Register in 1983. Randall Park, a city-block park, sits at its center, and the streets around it are lined with trees and large frame houses. Whatever the house needs, the offer is based on it as it stands and on recent sales nearby.
Emery Street Bungalow District
The third district from the 1982 survey, placed on the National Register on May 20, 1983. The houses that contribute to it were built between 1915 and 1930 in the bungalow style. If you own a bungalow here or elsewhere in Eau Claire, you can leave the updating to us.
Putnam Heights
A south-side neighborhood that held its grand opening on April 15, 1946, with more than 1,500 homesites, and was named for Henry C. Putnam, who gave the city the parkland now called Putnam Park. It was advertised with three- and four-bedroom houses that had garages. Houses from the postwar years are priced on how they have been kept up, and we make the offer on your house as it is.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including eauclairewi.gov, visiteauclaire.com, randallparkneighborhood.com, en.wikipedia.org and leadertelegram.com. Conditions vary from house to house.

Wisconsin and Eau Claire Seller Questions
Old Houses, Liens and Inherited Homes: What Eau Claire Sellers Ask
As-is disclosures, tax liens, inherited houses, mobile homes and signing from out of town, answered briefly.
How do you work out a cash offer on an Eau Claire house?
We start from what the house would sell for once it was fixed up, judging by recent sales of similar homes nearby. Then we take off the cost of the work it needs, what it costs us to hold and resell it, and a margin for the company. The written offer shows the price, the terms and what you should expect to net. It costs nothing to ask for, and you can compare it with any other offer you get.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Eau Claire 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 Wisconsin can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Wisconsin, and do I need an attorney?
A Wisconsin title company or closing agent. They run the title search, pay off your mortgage and anything else owed on the house from the sale money when the price covers it, and send you the balance once the sale closes, with the deed recorded with the Eau Claire County Register of Deeds. Many Wisconsin sales close through a title company without a separate attorney for either side, but you are free to bring one. If probate or a title problem is involved, ask an attorney licensed in Wisconsin. Most of our closings take 21 to 42 days, and you pick the date. Longer timelines can be arranged.
Can selling my Eau Claire 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 Wisconsin, 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 tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Wisconsin can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Wisconsin page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Can I sell my Eau Claire 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 Eau Claire?
It depends on how title was held and Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 you buy in every part of Eau Claire?
Yes. We buy in the Third Ward, Historic Randall Park, the Emery Street Bungalow District and Putnam Heights, and anywhere else in the city or Eau Claire County. Where the house sits changes the price we can offer, not whether we will look at it.
My Eau Claire house has water or fire damage. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. We price water, smoke and fire damage into the offer, so in most cases you do not have to repair or clear out the damaged rooms first. If there is an open insurance claim, mention it on your first call.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Eau Claire?
Only together with the land. If you own the manufactured home and the lot under it, in Eau Claire or elsewhere in Eau Claire County, we can make an offer on both. A home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
Is a cash sale better than listing an Eau Claire house with an agent?
It depends on the house and on how much time you have. An agent listing can bring a higher price for a house in good shape, at the cost of commission, repairs and showings, and a closing date that depends on the buyer's lender. A cash sale is usually faster and more predictable, and the price reflects the repairs. Ask us for the written offer, get a listing opinion from an agent too, and set them side by side.
How is selling to you different from selling to a wholesaler or an iBuyer?
iBuyers tend to concentrate on newer houses in good condition and take repair costs off their price after their own inspection. A wholesaler signs a contract and assigns it to another buyer. We may buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to a partner; that right is disclosed in the agreement before you sign, and the price and closing terms you agreed to stay in writing either way. The comparison table on this page sets the options next to a traditional listing.
I no longer live near Eau Claire. Do I have to come back to close?
No. The closing agent can mail your documents or arrange a mobile notary where you live, and sends your proceeds by wire or check once the sale is complete.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Wisconsin among them. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. We either buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to a partner investor, and the agreement discloses that right before you sign.
How much money will I walk away with?
The offer price, less your mortgage payoff, any liens or unpaid taxes, your share of prorated property taxes and the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee that falls to the seller. On a direct sale to us you pay no agent commission, and under the purchase agreement we pay the closing costs apart from those deductions. The closing agent gives you a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Eau Claire 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 Eau Claire: 0.3% of the price, imposed on the seller, subject to the purchase 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.
