Sell Your House Fast in Edmonds, WA. From the Bowl to Firdale.

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 Edmonds: graduated state rate starting at 1.1%, plus a local rate, subject to the purchase agreement.

A licensed title or escrow company, or a closing attorney, depending on the state, handles the closing. It checks the title, arranges the payoffs and gives you a settlement statement before you sign. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.

The first call is mostly for us to learn about the property, its condition and your situation. An offer usually comes after we review the details, and it is made in writing within one business day. At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. Someone else, such as a spouse or relative, can usually make the first contact for you.

We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own both the home and the land, send us the address and we can tell you whether we can make an offer.

We can consider a house with fire, smoke or water damage when the numbers work. The offer reflects the condition and the cost of repairs, so you do not have to fix anything first. Tell us what happened and whether an insurance claim is open, since that can affect the sale.

We can consider vacant houses when the numbers work. A vacant house may still carry property taxes, insurance and utilities until it sells. Property taxes are usually prorated at closing; insurance and utilities stay in your name until the sale closes. You do not need to stage the house or schedule showings with buyers.

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.

It depends on how title was held and Washington 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 Washington 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.

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 Washington can confirm which disclosures apply.

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.

What you take home is the sale price minus your mortgage payoff, any liens, prorated property taxes and any other costs your closing paperwork lists. On a sale to Eagle there are no agent fees, but a cash offer is usually lower than a retail sale price. Ask us for a written cash offer, and the settlement statement before closing shows the net proceeds line by line.

No company is best for every seller, and no company pays the most every time. Compare written offers, ask what can change after a walkthrough, and check who pays which costs at closing. Eagle may buy a house itself or, if the contract permits, assign it, and you see that in the agreement before you sign. Listing with an agent can bring a higher price if the house is in good shape and you have time, and the buyer repairs are part of what a cash offer reflects.

It depends on two things: whether you have time to wait out a sale, and whether you have money to put the house right first. If you have both, listing with a good local agent may bring a higher price. If one is missing, a cash sale can make sense, because you compare a cash price now with months of carrying costs. Eagle is not an agent, so ask one about listing.

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 Washington, 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 Washington can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Washington page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
