What People Say About Working With Us
I have an excellent experience! Very streamlined and simple. A great pleasure!
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.
Oren and the Eagle Cash Buyers team were extremely efficient throughout the entire sales process. Oren answered my calls day and night unlike other people that I have worked with before. He was very attentive to all my concerns and completely put my mind at ease. I am really looking forward to working with him again and highly recommend Oren plus his team.
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.

Fairview Homeowners We Help
Fairview sellers come to us for different reasons. Some inherited a house, some own a rental, and some need to move on a date. Here are the situations we see most often.
An Inherited House
If a parent or relative left you a house in Fairview, you may be looking at repairs, a clean-out and probate paperwork from far away. We can buy the house as it is, if the numbers work, and your attorney or the title or escrow company can explain what the estate needs before closing.

A House That Needs Work
Roof, plumbing, foundation or just years of wear: you do not have to fix anything before you sell to us. The offer reflects the condition of the house, and we can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work.
A Rental With Tenants
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We can buy a rental with tenants in place. What happens to the lease generally depends on the lease terms, and the rights under it generally pass to the buyer at closing.

Behind on Payments or Taxes
If you have fallen behind, call early. A sale may help if it closes in time and the proceeds cover what is owed. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure, and a HUD-approved housing counselor or a California attorney can explain your options.
Moving on a Schedule
A new job, a family move or a downsizing plan can leave a house to sell on a deadline. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date, and remote signing is always available if you have already left the Bay Area.
Selling Without a Listing
Some owners do not want showings, open houses or months of waiting for a buyer with a loan. A direct sale to Eagle skips the listing. We do not charge an agent commission on a direct sale, and the price is usually lower than a fully repaired house could reach on the open market.
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 Fairview are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Documentary 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 |
| Documentary Transfer Tax | County tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000). 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 Fairview, 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
One homeowner who contacted us, in another state, was administering an estate where the local court there acted as executor. In that arrangement the court had to be told the closing date in advance so the sale could be recorded, and the estate's attorney needed the buyer's signature on the contract for that reason. Our acquisition manager explained that Eagle coordinates with the estate's attorney. Procedures like this vary by jurisdiction, so confirm them locally.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with a title or escrow company that coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the title or escrow 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 Fairview, 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 California page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the title or escrow company, which handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Documentary 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 Fairview
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 Fairview and Alameda County
We look at houses in Fairview and in the nearby Alameda County communities below. Whether we can make an offer depends on the house, its value and whether the numbers work.
Nearby communities
Castro Valley
Castro Valley is an unincorporated community in Alameda County. Wikipedia says it borders Fairview to the north and east, and that the county governs it directly. For a seller, that means a sale on either side of the line is handled the same way: a title or escrow company runs the title work and the county records the deed.
Hayward
The city of Hayward lies west of Fairview. Wikipedia describes Fairview as unincorporated and within Hayward's sphere of influence, with no annexation having occurred. If your mailing address says Hayward, send it anyway and we can usually tell you whether we can look at the house.
Cherryland
Cherryland is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Alameda County, in the historic Eden Township, with the Alameda County Board of Supervisors overseeing it. Cherryland lies just north of the city of Hayward, so, as in Fairview, a Hayward mailing address does not always mean the house is inside the city. Send the address and we can usually tell you.
Ashland
Ashland is an unincorporated community in Alameda County, with San Leandro to the north and Cherryland to the south. It is governed directly by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, so a house there goes through the same Alameda County recording steps as one in Fairview.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Fairview and Alameda County Seller Questions
Selling Your Fairview House: Answers to Common Seller Questions
Unincorporated status, repairs, tenants, probate, liens and closing in California, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Fairview 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 Fairview: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000), subject to the purchase agreement.
Does it matter that Fairview is unincorporated?
Fairview is a census-designated place in unincorporated Alameda County, so there is no city hall. For the sale itself, a title or escrow company handles the title work and the deed is recorded with Alameda County. If you are not sure whether your address is in Fairview, Castro Valley or the city of Hayward, send it to us and we can usually tell you which it is.
How do you calculate my Fairview cash offer?
We look at the condition of the house, what comparable homes nearby have sold for and what repairs it needs, then work back to a price that makes sense for us. A cash offer is usually lower than the price a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling. In return you skip the repairs, the showings and the wait.
Do you buy every kind of house in Fairview?
We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, but we cannot promise an offer on every house. It depends on the house, the area and its value. Send the address and we can usually tell you quickly whether it fits.
Do you buy mobile homes in Fairview?
We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the land and the home, send the address and we will take a look.
Who handles the closing in California, and do I need an attorney?
Closing is handled through a title or escrow company, which runs the title search, holds the funds and records the deed. You do not have to hire an attorney to sell to us, but you can have one review the contract, and a California attorney can answer legal questions about your situation. Remote signing is always available.
How fast can you close on a Fairview house?
Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on the title work and on anything that has to be cleared first, such as a lien or an estate matter.
Who needs to be on the call when you present the offer?
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. A spouse, relative or attorney can make the first contact for you.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Fairview?
It depends on how title was held and California 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 California 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.
Can I sell my Fairview 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 still have to make disclosures if I sell my Fairview 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. California sellers commonly complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in California can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can selling my Fairview 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 California, a home loan secured by a deed of trust is generally foreclosed by a trustee's sale 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 the court, 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 California can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our California page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
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.
What are the risks of a cash offer on a house?
A cash offer removes the buyer's financing step, but it is still a contract, and the price is usually lower than a fully repaired house could reach on the open market. Read the agreement, ask who the buyer is, and check what the buyer will pay for at closing. Cash buyers differ, so compare more than one offer if you want to.
Do I need to clean out the house or make repairs before selling?
No. You can leave the repairs and the clutter, and the offer reflects the condition of the house. Take any personal items and papers you want, and tell us if you need extra time to move out.
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.
