Forest Hills Homeowners We Help

Forest Hills sellers arrive with different houses and different reasons. These are the situations we hear about most, and how a direct sale to Eagle fits each one.

A House That Needs Repairs

If the roof, plumbing or kitchen needs work, you do not have to fix it before selling. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, and the offer reflects the condition. Whether we can make an offer depends on the area, the value and the numbers, and we look at each house.

An Inherited Home

Settling a family member's estate while living somewhere else is a lot to carry. We can look at the house and make an offer while the paperwork is sorted out. Who has authority to sign depends on how title was held, so an estate attorney licensed in Michigan should confirm it.

A Move on a Deadline

A job change or a family move can leave little time for showings. At Eagle, most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date, so you can line up the closing with your move if the numbers work.

A Rental With Tenants

If you are tired of managing a rental, you can sell it with tenants in place. How the lease is handled depends on the lease terms, and it generally passes to the buyer at closing. Tell us what you know about the lease and we will look at it with you.

A Vacant or Storm-Damaged House

A house that sits empty or has fire, water or storm damage costs money every month in taxes, insurance and upkeep. We can look at it as it is, without repairs or cleaning on your side, and make an offer if the numbers work.

Related guide: Selling a Vacant House for Cash

A Divorce or Shared Ownership

When more than one person owns the house, everyone whose signature or authorization is required has to take part in the sale. At Eagle, we ask everyone on the deed to join the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together.

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.

What the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs

Sellers in Forest Hills 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 FactorEagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale)Traditional Listing (Agent)Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer)
Agent CommissionNone - $0Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $300,000 sale is about $15,000 to $18,000Usually none, though a service fee often applies
Repairs Before SaleNone - we buy as-isOften paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for moreOften deductions for repairs after the inspection
Michigan Transfer TaxesState and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; customarily the seller's. Your share is paid from your proceeds, as set out in the purchase agreement and shown on your settlement statementThe same tax appliesThe same tax applies
Seller Closing CostsWe 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 contractA service fee set by each platform
Days to CloseMost close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the dateWeeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall throughSet by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas
Showings and InspectionsNo public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreementMultiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspectionUsually a company inspection, often with repair deductions
Financing Contingency RiskNo buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still applyBuyer financing can fall through weeks into the processLow risk, but platform rules apply
Condition RequiredWe buy as-is - no updates neededBuyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollarVaries - 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 Forest Hills, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.

An Example From a Real Call

One homeowner's inquiry was sent in her name, but the person who called was not her. Our acquisition manager asked whether the owner could take part, because at Eagle the person who owns the house takes part in the conversation before anything moves forward. A three-way call was scheduled for once they were together, and the acquisition manager described the first call as a basic one, to learn about the property and its condition.

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 who coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing provider arranges. Here is how it runs.

1

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.

2

Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day

We look at the property, recent comparable sales in Forest Hills, 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.

3

Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid

Once you accept, we open title or escrow with the closing provider, 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.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Forest Hills

These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Get the whole offer in writing before you sign, including who pays closing costs and what happens if the buyer walks.

Forest Hills Seller Questions

Before You Sell in Forest Hills: Closing, Liens, Probate and More

Closing costs, liens, probate, as-is disclosure, mobile homes and how we make an offer, answered briefly.

Who pays closing costs when I sell my Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills: state and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.

Can I sell my Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills?

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.

Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Forest Hills 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.

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 Forest Hills 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. 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 Michigan page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Do you buy mobile homes in Forest Hills?

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 us the address and we will take a look. Whether we can make an offer depends on the property and the numbers.

Who needs to be on the call when you present an 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. Legal signing authority is a separate point: everyone whose signature or authorization is required has to sign.

How quickly will I hear back after I send my address?

We send a written cash offer within one business day. Some properties need more research, photos or a walkthrough before the offer can be finalized. There is no obligation to accept it.

How fast can the sale close?

Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on title, liens, mortgage payoffs and the closing provider.

Who handles the closing in Michigan?

The closing is handled by a title or escrow company. They check the title, arrange the payoffs and prepare a settlement statement that shows every charge and credit before you sign.

How much money will I actually get from selling my house?

It depends on the offer and on what you owe. Your net proceeds are the sale price minus your mortgage payoff, any liens and prorated property taxes. On a direct sale to Eagle there is no agent commission, which agents usually charge between 5% and 6% of the sale price. The settlement statement shows the exact numbers before closing.

Is a cash sale better than listing my Forest Hills house?

It depends on time and money. If you have time to wait for a buyer and the money to get the house ready, listing with a good local agent may bring a higher price, and we can usually tell you so. If either is missing, a cash offer now can beat months of carrying costs. A cash offer is usually lower than a repaired home could reach on the open market.

Do I have to clean out the house first?

No. We buy houses as they are, including ones that need major repairs, and you can leave what you do not want to take. Whether we make an offer depends on the area, the value and whether the numbers work.
