What People Say About Working With Us
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.
It was a pleasure working with Eagle Cash Buyers, they helped with a complicated journey for the sale of my mother's estate. Thank you Kelly.
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.
Allan was very helpful and the process was fast and easy. I highly recommend.

Elizabeth Homeowners We Help
Elizabeth sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own a two-family house with a tenant upstairs, some inherited a home they live far from, and some just want a sale without a listing.
A Two-Family House With Tenants
Many Elizabeth owners rent out a unit or two. You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out before you sell. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though that depends on the lease terms. We go through the leases with you, and an attorney can confirm how New Jersey law applies to yours.

An Older House That Needs Work
Houses built a century ago can need a new roof, updated wiring or plumbing, or repairs that have been put off. We buy as-is, so you do not need to repair, clean out or stage anything first. Tell us what you know about the condition and we price around it.
An Inherited Property
If a parent or relative left you a house in Elizabeth, you may be handling it from another city or state. We can work with the executor or heirs and let you set the closing date. Probate steps vary, so an attorney confirms what applies to your estate.

Back Taxes or Behind on Payments
Owing property taxes or a mortgage balance may not stop a sale. Those amounts are generally paid from your proceeds at closing, and we show you the numbers before you agree to anything. An attorney can confirm how your own situation is handled.

A Move on Your Timeline
A job change, a new house already bought or a family move can make waiting on a listing hard. Our offer comes in writing within one business day, and you pick the closing date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.
Selling Without Listing
A listing usually means showings, open houses and then weeks of waiting while a buyer's loan is approved. A direct sale skips those steps. You get one offer, you decide whether to accept, and there is no obligation if you say no.
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 Elizabeth are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the New Jersey Realty 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, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $548,900 sale is about $27,400 to $32,900 | 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 |
| New Jersey Realty Transfer Fee | Paid by the seller, in tiers that rise with the price. 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 Elizabeth, 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 who contacted us had a family member make the first call. Our acquisition manager noticed the inquiry was under a different name, so he asked whether the owner could take part. The owner was not on that call, so a three-way call was scheduled for once they were together. Our policy is that the owner joins the conversation before anything moves forward.
We are not saying this was a New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 Elizabeth, 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey Realty 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.
Elizabeth Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Elizabeth home at $548,900 in August 2026, 2.5% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure covers mid-priced homes across the whole city. It says little about one house, because condition, size, number of units and street all change what a buyer will pay.
A traditional sale can add steps: repairs a buyer's inspector asks for, an appraisal tied to the buyer's loan, and showings. A cash sale to us skips the buyer's loan appraisal, the repair requests and public showings; at most we ask for photos or a walkthrough, as set out in the agreement. We make an offer on the house as it stands, and you choose when to close.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Elizabeth
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.

Neighborhoods and areas in Elizabeth
Elizabethport
Wikipedia describes Elizabethport as the oldest neighborhood in Elizabeth, with Elizabethan-style and colonial-style houses and apartment buildings, and townhomes and duplexes along the waterfront. For a seller, that mix means a house next door is a weak guide to yours, so we price each one on its own age, type and condition.
Bayway
Bayway developed around the turn of the 20th century, according to Wikipedia, and has two- to four-family housing units and apartment complexes. If you own a multi-unit house here, we can buy it with tenants in place and go through the leases with you.
North Elizabeth
Wikipedia says North Elizabeth was mostly developed in the 1920s for workers at the Duesenberg plant, and that it has larger one- and two-family homes, with apartments and condos near North Avenue. Larger houses vary a lot in condition and layout, so we price each one as it stands, with no repairs or public showings needed.
Peterstown
Peterstown's land was developed in the late 19th century, per Wikipedia, and the article describes it as having a village feel. Houses from that period can differ a lot from one lot to the next, so we price each one on its own condition and ask for photos or a quick walkthrough.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Elizabeth and Union County Seller Questions
Before You Say Yes: What Elizabeth Homeowners Want to Know
Tenants, older houses, inherited property, liens and closing costs, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth: paid by the seller, in tiers that rise with the price, subject to the purchase agreement.
Can I sell my Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth?
It depends on how title was held and New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Elizabeth 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 New Jersey can confirm which disclosures apply.
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 Elizabeth 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 New Jersey, 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 New Jersey can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our New Jersey page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy mobile homes in Elizabeth?
Yes, when the seller owns the land under the home. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you own both the home and the lot, send the address and we will make an offer.
How quickly can I sell my Elizabeth house?
The quickest route skips the listing, showings and a buyer's financing, which is how cash buyers work. We send a written cash offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time, and you choose the date.
Should I sell my Elizabeth house as is or fix it up?
That depends on the repairs, the cost and how soon you want to sell. Fixing up a house means paying for work and waiting on contractors before it can be listed. If you would rather skip that, we buy as-is and you can leave the repairs undone.
Can you buy a two-family house with tenants in it?
Yes. You do not need to wait for a lease to end or ask tenants to leave. What happens to each tenancy at closing depends on its lease terms, and a lease generally passes to the buyer. Send us a copy of each lease, and an attorney can confirm how New Jersey law applies.
Do I have to clean out the house?
Usually not. You can leave furniture and belongings you do not want, as set out in the purchase agreement. Take what matters to you and we handle the rest after closing.
What happens if I sell my house and don't buy another one?
You receive the sale proceeds after the closing costs and any payoff are settled, and then you decide what to do next. Questions about tax on the sale are best answered by a tax professional, since they depend on your situation.
Can I sell from out of town?
Yes. Many of our sellers are not near the property. We work by phone and email, and a title company or closing agent handles the paperwork, so you may not need to travel to Elizabeth.
How do I get an offer for my Elizabeth house?
Send the address through the form on this page. We ask a few questions about the house and then send a written offer within one business day. There is no obligation to accept.
