Sell Your Fort Dodge House for Cash. Fort Dodge Houses, Bought As They Stand.

We look at the address, the condition and what similar houses nearby have sold for, then subtract what it would take to repair and resell it. You get the number in writing within one business day of sending the address. Nothing is final until you sign, and you can say no.

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 Fort Dodge: about 0.16% of the price above the first $500, subject to the purchase agreement.

Your net proceeds are the sale price minus what you still owe and your share of any costs. That is mostly your mortgage payoff, any back taxes or liens, prorated property taxes and your share of the Iowa transfer tax. With a cash offer there are usually no commissions or repair costs on top, so the offer is easy to compare with a listing. The title company can give you the exact figures before you sign.

It depends on what matters to you. A cash offer can mean no repairs, no showings and a closing date you pick, which suits an inherited house, a rental or a house that needs work. Listing with a realtor may bring a higher price if the house is in good shape and you can wait. Get a written cash offer and compare it with what a listing would net after costs.

No. We buy houses in the condition they are in, including deferred maintenance, old systems, clutter and damage. Tell us about any known problems when you send the address so the offer is accurate.

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.

Yes. We can buy a house with tenants in place, so you do not have to ask anyone to leave. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means depends on the lease terms. Share a copy of the lease if you have one.

It depends on how title was held and Iowa 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 Iowa 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.

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.

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 Iowa, 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 usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Iowa can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Iowa page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

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 Iowa can confirm which disclosures apply.

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 the home and land are both yours, send the address and tell us about the home's age and condition.

On the open market, making repairs, clearing clutter and pricing it realistically all help. If you would rather skip that work, a cash offer avoids the listing and the wait for a buyer's financing. Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.

You do until the closing is complete. Ownership generally passes to the buyer at closing, once the deed is signed and delivered and the title company, as closing agent, completes the closing process and releases the funds; your contract sets the exact terms. If you need a few days to move out afterward, tell us up front and we can build it into the agreement.

It is mostly questions about the house, its condition and your situation. If someone else makes first contact for the owner, we will ask the owner to join before anything moves forward.
