What People Say About Working With Us

Kenneth WilsonRated 5 out of 5
I have an excellent experience! Very streamlined and simple. A great pleasure!
Jamie LeblancRated 5 out of 5
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.
Todd KillianRated 5 out of 5
Experienced and trustworthy! It has been great to work with Oren from Eagle Cash Buyers.
Tomas SatasRated 5 out of 5
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.

Foster City Homeowners We Help

Foster City sellers come to us for different reasons. Some own a condo in an association and want to skip showings. Others have a house that needs work, a rental, or an inherited property.

A Condo or Townhome in an Association

Foster City has many condominium and cluster developments. If yours is one of them, tell us the building or development when you send the address. Association rules, dues and any resale paperwork can affect the timeline, so we go through them with you early, and an attorney or the association can confirm what applies to your unit.

A House That Needs Work

Older kitchens, worn roofs and deferred repairs can make a traditional listing slow and costly. We buy as-is, so you do not need to repair, paint or stage anything before we make an offer. You compare that offer with what it would cost in time and money to prepare the house for the open market.

A Rental With Tenants in Place

You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask a tenant to move out. We buy houses and condos with tenants living in them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for your tenant depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy if you have one.

An Inherited Property

Handling a parent's or relative's home from a distance is a lot to carry. We can talk through the house and the timeline with you, and you set the closing date. Whether probate is needed depends on how title was held, the size of the estate and California law, so check with an attorney about what applies to you.

Related guide: How to Sell an Inherited House

A Move Coming Up Fast

A job change or a purchase somewhere else can leave little room for months of showings. After a written offer within one business day, most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and the date is yours to pick. If you need longer, tell us and we can plan around it.

Fire, Water or Other Damage

A house with fire, smoke or water damage can be hard to list and hard to finance for a buyer. We look at the property as it is and make an offer without asking you to restore it first. Your insurance carrier or adjuster is the right place for questions about your claim.

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.

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

Sellers in Foster City 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 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 $1,835,200 sale is about $91,800 to $110,100Usually 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
Documentary Transfer TaxCounty tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own. 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 Foster City, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.

See What We'd Pay

An Example From a Real Call

One homeowner who contacted us had a house that burned, and the insurer called it a total loss. They had a demolition bid in hand and wanted a cash offer to compare the two paths side by side. Our acquisition manager gave a preliminary range, explained that it was a range and not a firm number, and left the door open for them to call back if they wanted to move forward. They were still weighing both options when the call ended.

Three Steps, From First Call to Closing

Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established California closing agents who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing agent 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 Foster City, 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.

3

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 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.

Foster City Housing Market - What the Numbers Say

Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Foster City home at $1,835,200 in August 2026, 1.3% higher than a year earlier.

$1,835,200
Typical Home Value (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026)
+1.3%
Year-Over-Year, Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026

A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house or condo. Your own property may be worth more or less depending on its size, updates, location and what a buyer would need to spend.

A cash sale works differently from a listing. There are no showings, and an offer does not depend on a buyer's mortgage approval. We make an offer based on the property's condition and our costs, and you can compare it with a listing and decide.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Foster City

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.

Neighborhoods and areas in Foster City

Neighborhood 5 (Central Lake condominiums)

The Foster City Historical Society describes Neighborhood 5 as entirely multifamily condominium and cluster developments built in the 1970s, including the white-and-blue 'The Islands' and 'Lido Island' condominiums overlooking Central Lake. For a seller, that means an association is usually part of the sale, so it helps to have your dues and any resale documents on hand when you contact us.

Pilgrim-Triton

The City of Foster City approved the Pilgrim Triton Master Plan to create a compact, efficient mixed-use development replacing an obsolete industrial park. If you own a newer condo or apartment-style home here, tell us the building and the association when you send the address.

Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including fostercitylife.org and fostercity.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Foster City and San Mateo County Seller Questions

Before You Sell in Foster City: Plain Answers on Condos, Closing and Cost

Condos and associations, as-is sales, tenants, closing, liens and probate, answered briefly.

Who pays closing costs when I sell my Foster City 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 Foster City: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.

Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Foster City 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 I sell my Foster City 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 Foster City?

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.

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 Foster City 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. Our California page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Do you buy condos and townhomes in Foster City?

Yes. Foster City has many condominium and cluster developments, and we buy units in them as well as houses. Tell us the development when you send the address. Dues, association rules and resale paperwork can affect timing, and the association or an attorney can confirm what applies to your unit.

Do you buy mobile homes in Foster City?

Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy mobile homes in a park or on a rented lot. If you are not sure how your property is classified, send the address and we can look at it with you.

What is the quickest a house can be sold?

With a cash offer, there is no listing period and no wait for a buyer's mortgage approval. We send a written offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time, and you pick the date. A traditional listing depends on showings and a buyer's financing.

Is Opendoor better than using a realtor?

It depends on what matters to you. Opendoor and other instant-offer programs buy directly, and their fees, service areas and property requirements vary, so check their current terms. A realtor handles the listing: it goes on the open market and usually charges a commission, often in the range of 5% to 6%. We are another option: we buy as-is, or may assign the contract as disclosed in the agreement, and you choose the closing date. Compare the net from each path before you decide.

What are 10 things to avoid when selling your house?

A few common ones: skipping a comparison of your options, ignoring dues or liens until late, assuming repairs will pay for themselves, and signing before reading the closing costs. Whether you list or sell for cash, read every term and ask an attorney about anything unclear.

Can I sell a house that has tenants in it?

Yes. We buy houses and condos with tenants in place. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what happens to your tenant depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy of the lease if you have one.

Can I sell a house with fire or water damage?

Yes, we look at damaged properties as they are and make an offer without asking you to repair them first. Talk to your insurance carrier or adjuster about your claim, since that is separate from the sale.

Can I sell a vacant property in Foster City?

Yes. Send us the address and let us know it is vacant, and whether it is a house or a condo. We make a written offer within one business day, and you can pick a closing date that fits your plans, including from out of the area.

Who handles the closing in California, and do I need an attorney?

In California, a title or escrow company usually handles the closing: it runs the title search, holds the funds and records the deed. Many sellers do not hire an attorney for a standard sale, but you can, and you should ask one about anything specific to your situation.

What does a cash offer on my house depend on?

We look at the property's condition, the work it needs, and what similar homes sell for nearby. The offer is in writing within one business day of getting your address and details. You can compare it with a listing and take your time deciding.

What is the difference between Eagle Cash Buyers and an iBuyer?

We make offers on houses in any condition, including ones that need repairs, and you choose the closing date. Eagle works in 43 states and may buy directly or assign the contract, which is disclosed in the agreement. An iBuyer may have different condition and price requirements, so compare the terms.
