What People Say About Working With Us
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.
Wonderful to work with and stayed in contact at all stages through the process. Thank you again for everything.
Cannot recommend Mr. Oren and his team enough if you have a property or home that you are looking to sell fast. The professionalism and transparency they show is not comparable to other cash home buyers. From the point of initial contact all the way to closing day, the team at Eagle Cash Buyers kept their word with consistent updates throughout the process. Thank you for the integrity you have shown during this time of distress. Highly recommended.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.

Farmington Homeowners We Help
Farmington sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home near downtown, some have a rental, and some are dealing with an estate or a move. Here are six situations we can help with.
An Older House That Has Not Been Updated
Some Farmington houses are decades old and some have simply never been remodeled. Whether yours is old, dated or both, we buy it as it stands. You do not need to repaint, replace anything or clear it out before you ask for 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 living in them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though how it works depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it with you.

A House From an Estate
If a house came to you from a family member, tell us where things stand. Whether court steps are needed depends on the situation, so an estate or probate attorney is the right person to confirm that. We can plan around your timeline and the date you choose.
Fire, Water or Storm Damage
A house with a burned kitchen, a flooded basement or a damaged roof is hard to list and hard to finance. We can make an offer on a damaged house as it is. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early so we understand what has and has not been settled.

Behind on the Mortgage or Other Payments
Falling behind is stressful, and the numbers matter. A written offer within one business day gives you something concrete to weigh against your other options. Whether a sale works depends on what you owe compared with the offer, and we will explain how we see it.
Moving for Work or Family
If you are relocating and cannot keep a second house going, timing is the issue. Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, and you pick the closing date within that range or later if you need more time. Tell us your move date on the first call.

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 Farmington are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Michigan Transfer Taxes 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 $332,100 sale is about $16,600 to $19,900 | 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 |
| Michigan Transfer Taxes | Oakland County's Register of Deeds lists a county transfer tax of $.55 per $500.00 ($1.10 per $1,000) of consideration, in addition to the state transfer tax (oaklandcountymi.gov, checked September 2026). 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 Farmington, 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 had sent in the inquiry in her own name, and someone else phoned on her behalf. Our acquisition manager noticed the name mismatch and asked whether the owner was able to take part herself. She simply wanted a family member to make first contact, so the call was paused and a three-way call was set up for when they were together, because our policy is that the owner takes part before anything moves forward.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Michigan 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 Farmington, 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 Michigan 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 Michigan Transfer Taxes 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.
Farmington Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Farmington home at $332,100 in August 2026, 2.9% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure blends the mid-priced homes across the whole city, so it says little about one particular house. A century-old farmhouse near downtown and a recently updated home a few streets away can sit far from the average in either direction.
Listing a house normally involves getting it ready, showings and waiting for a buyer whose financing is approved. A cash sale skips those steps but is priced with that in mind, so compare a written offer with what a listing could net you after costs and time.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Farmington
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 houses across Farmington and throughout Oakland County, from the older streets around Grand River Avenue and Shiawassee Avenue to the rest of the city. Mobile homes are the exception: we buy them only with the land.
Neighborhoods and areas in Farmington
Farmington Historic District
The National Register of Historic Places listed the Farmington Historic District in 1976. The district is mostly residential, with Greek Revival and late Victorian buildings, and Preservation Farmington says many of its houses are at least 100 years old. If you own a house here, we buy it as it is, so age and unfinished updates do not have to be sorted out before you ask for an offer.
Oakland Street Area
Preservation Farmington describes the area west of Grand River on Oakland Street as filled with early-20th-century homes, outside the historic district. If you own a house on these streets, an as-is cash offer means you do not have to decide what to update before selling.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org and preservationfarmington.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Farmington Seller Questions
Historic District Homes, Rentals and Estates: Farmington Answers
Farmington versus Farmington Hills, older houses, tenants, damage, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Is this page about Farmington or Farmington Hills?
This page is about the city of Farmington. Farmington Hills is a separate, larger city that surrounds it, and the two names are easy to confuse. We buy houses in both, and Farmington Hills has its own page on this site.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Farmington 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. Michigan sellers commonly complete a Seller Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Michigan can confirm which disclosures apply.
How do you decide what to offer on my Farmington house?
We look at the location, the size, the condition and what similar houses have sold for nearby. On the first call we ask about the house and your situation, and we follow with a written offer within one business day. You are not obliged to accept it.
Can I sell my Farmington 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 Farmington?
It depends on how title was held and Michigan 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 Michigan 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 selling my Farmington 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 Michigan, a foreclosure generally proceeds by notice and sale (foreclosure by advertisement) rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the sale process, 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 Michigan can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Michigan page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy houses in the Farmington Historic District?
Yes, we can make an offer on an older house whether it stands inside the district or not, and we buy it as it is. If you have questions about exterior work on a house in the district, the City of Farmington's building and planning office can confirm what, if any, permit rules apply. The Farmington Historical Commission is an advisory board.
Who handles the closing in Michigan, and do I need an attorney?
A title company or a real estate attorney typically handles the closing. They run the title search, hold the funds and record the deed. You are free to have your own attorney review the paperwork, and we encourage that if you have any questions.
Can you buy a rental house with tenants living in it?
Yes. You do not need to end the tenancy first. Tell us the rent, the lease end date and whether the tenant is current, and send a copy of the lease so we can check how it carries over at closing.
Do you buy Farmington houses with fire or water damage?
Yes, we can make an offer on a house with fire, water or storm damage. (The only exception is a mobile home on land you do not own.) Tell us about any open insurance claim so we understand the situation. Your insurer or an attorney can advise you on the claim itself.
I live out of state. Can I sell my Farmington house from a distance?
Often you can, though it depends on the title company handling the closing. Signing can sometimes be arranged by mail or with a mobile notary. Tell us where you are early and we will work out the steps with you.
How long does it take to sell my house to you?
We send a written offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You choose the closing date, so it can also fit around a move or an estate.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Farmington?
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 own both the home and the lot, send us the address and we will take it from there.
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.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Farmington 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 Farmington: Oakland County's Register of Deeds lists a county transfer tax of $.55 per $500.00 ($1.10 per $1,000) of consideration, in addition to the state transfer tax (oaklandcountymi.gov, checked September 2026), 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.
