Essex Junction Homeowners We Help
Essex Junction sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home near the village center, some a rental, some a house inherited from a parent. Here are the situations we hear most.
An Older House That Needs Work
Much of Essex Junction's downtown was rebuilt after a fire in 1893, and many houses around it are decades old. If yours needs a roof, a new furnace or general updating, you can sell it as it stands. We do not ask you to repair, clean out or stage anything before we make an offer.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy houses with tenants in them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and how it is handled depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy when you contact us.

An Inherited House
A house passed down to you can be a burden, especially if you live elsewhere. Tell us where things stand and we will explain what we need from you. Questions about probate are best confirmed with a Vermont attorney.

A Move on a Deadline
A job change or a new home to close on can leave little time. You get a written offer within one business day, and you pick the closing date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and we can go later if you need it.
Back Taxes or a Mortgage Behind
If you have fallen behind, a cash sale can be a way to settle things. In most sales, your mortgage payoff, back taxes and other liens on the property are paid from the sale proceeds at closing, as long as the proceeds cover them. Ask us what that would look like for your house.

Fire, Water or Storm Damage
Damage that makes a traditional sale hard is something we look at regularly. Send us the address and what happened, and we will price the house in its current condition. You can talk to us before repairs are finished or an insurance claim is settled.
Related guide: How to Sell a House As Is
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 Essex Junction are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Vermont Property 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 |
| Vermont Property Transfer Tax | Worked out on the buyer's use of the property; in practice usually the buyer's line. 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 Essex Junction, 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 sent in an inquiry, and a family member called the next day to start the conversation. Our acquisition manager noticed the inquiry was in a different name and asked whether the owner could take part. Our policy is that the person who owns the property joins the conversation before anything moves forward, so a three-way call was scheduled for once the owner was home.
We are not saying this was a Vermont 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 Vermont 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 Essex Junction, 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 Vermont 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 Vermont Property 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 Essex Junction
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 Essex Junction and Chittenden County
We buy across Essex Junction and Chittenden County, from the streets around Five Corners and the village center to the rest of the city. Mobile homes qualify only when you own the land.
Neighborhoods and areas in Essex Junction
Five Corners
The city's history page says two roadways connecting Burlington to points east and north formed an intersection known today as Five Corners, and that Lincoln Hall, the city's municipal office near that intersection, began as an early 19th century tavern and rest station. Housing near the intersection mixes older houses with newer buildings. For a seller, that means comparable sales close to Five Corners can vary a lot from one house to the next.
Downtown Essex Junction Commercial Historic District
This district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 2004. It covers 2.8 acres and twelve buildings along Main Street, Railroad Avenue and Railroad Street, with most development between 1900 and 1940. It is mostly commercial, but if you own a house on or near these streets, send us the address and we will look at it.
Pearl Street Corridor and the Village Center
The city's Connect the Junction plan covers the City Center and the Pearl Street Corridor, and the master plan was adopted by the City Council on December 17, 2025. The plan names Pearl Street, Park Street, Maple Street and Main Street, and calls for form-based codes and other regulatory changes; their status may have changed since the plan was adopted. If you own near these streets, ask the city what rules apply to your lot before you sell; we buy the house as it is either way.

Essex Junction and Chittenden County Seller Questions
What Essex Junction Owners Want to Know First
City versus Town of Essex, older houses, tenants, mobile homes, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Essex Junction 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 Essex Junction: worked out on the buyer's use of the property; in practice usually the buyer's line, subject to the purchase agreement.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Essex Junction 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 Vermont can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can I sell my Essex Junction 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 Essex Junction?
It depends on how title was held and Vermont 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 Vermont 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.
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 Essex Junction 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 Vermont, 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 Vermont can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Vermont page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy houses in Essex Junction neighborhoods like Five Corners and the village center?
Yes. We buy houses across Essex Junction, from the streets near Five Corners to the rest of the city. The one exception is a mobile home, which we buy only when you own the land under it. Send the address and we will take it from there.
What is the difference between the City of Essex Junction and the Town of Essex, and does it matter when I sell?
Essex Junction became an independent city in 2022, after previously being a village inside the Town of Essex, according to the city's history page. Mail may still carry an Essex Junction address for a property that sits in the Town of Essex, so check your tax bill for which municipality you are in. We buy in both; tell us the address.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Essex Junction?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you are not sure whether the land is yours, send the address and what you know and we will tell you.
My house has an unpermitted addition or old repairs. Can you still buy it?
Often yes. We buy houses as they are, so unfinished work or an addition without a permit is not an automatic no. Tell us what you know about it when you contact us and we will include it in the offer.
I live out of state. Can I sell my Essex Junction house without coming back?
Usually, yes. Much of the process can be handled by phone, email and mail. Closing paperwork may be signed ahead of time or in front of a notary where you live. Ask us how it would work for your sale.
How do you decide on your cash offer for an Essex Junction house?
We look at the condition of the house, the repairs it needs, and what similar houses nearby have sold for. We then send a written offer within one business day of getting your details. You can say no, and there is no cost for asking.
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.
