What People Say About Working With Us
Eagle Cash Buyers LLC provided professional service. They were easy to work with, and were available with prompt communication throughout the process. I look forward to working with them again.
We sold our home to Eagle Cash Buyers. We needed to sell to an investor because we could not afford the cost of repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers stuck to the agreed on price even after finding more damage with the house than originally discussed. Oren communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Eagle Cash Buyers for buying our house and helping us move on with our life.
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.
Very accommodating. Made the process easy and not stressful.

Franklin Lakes Homeowners We Help
Franklin Lakes sellers come to us for very different reasons. Some inherited a house and live elsewhere. Some own a rental, some want out from under a long repair list, and some are lining up the next home. These are the situations we hear most.
A House With a Long Repair List
A large or older house can hold years of deferred work: a roof, a boiler, a kitchen nobody has touched. You do not have to fix any of it to sell to us. We look at the house as it stands and base the offer on its condition and recent sales nearby. You skip the contractors and the showings.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end before you sell. We buy houses with tenants living in them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens next depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it with you.

An Inherited House You Do Not Want to Keep
Heirs often live in another state and have no wish to manage a house from a distance. Send the address and tell us where the estate stands. We can make an offer while the paperwork is under way, and a New Jersey estate attorney can confirm who is able to sign.

Selling One House While Buying the Next
When the second purchase depends on the first sale, timing is the worry. You choose the closing date, and if your move takes longer we can talk about a later one. A signed purchase agreement is also something you can ask for and show your next seller's agent as evidence that funds are coming. Many agents accept one, though not all do.
Payments You Are Struggling to Keep Up With
If mortgage payments have slipped, time matters, so do not wait for the letters to pile up. Tell us where things stand and we will explain what an offer would look like and how quickly it could move. Your mortgage is normally paid off from the sale proceeds at closing, as long as they cover the balance. If they do not, the lender has to agree to accept less.
A House Costing You Money Every Month
A vacant or second house keeps costing you in property taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep until it sells. A cash sale lets you set an end date for those bills. Send the address, read the offer, and decide whether the closing date we can offer works for you.
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 Franklin Lakes are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the New Jersey Realty Transfer Fee 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 $1,642,900 sale is about $82,100 to $98,600 | 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 |
| New Jersey Realty Transfer Fee | Paid by the seller, in tiers that rise with the price. 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 Franklin Lakes, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayA Real Call About a House
One homeowner who contacted us was selling a house while working out the purchase of the next one, and the second step was going to take longer than the first. Our team explained that the timeline could stretch to wait for his move, so he would not be pushed out before he had somewhere to go. The signed purchase agreement was also offered to him so he could show other real estate professionals that money was coming, and many agents accept one, though not all do.
We are not saying this was a New Jersey homeowner, and we have removed anything that could identify the person.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with New Jersey attorneys and title companies who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing attorney or title 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 Franklin Lakes, 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 New Jersey page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the closing attorney or title company, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The New Jersey Realty Transfer Fee 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.
Franklin Lakes Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Franklin Lakes home at $1,642,900 in August 2026, 12.7% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-tier homes across the whole borough, not the condition of any one house. Your own house could be worth more or less depending on its age, updates and lot.
Many buyers at this price use a jumbo loan, and a lender's appraisal and underwriting can add steps and time. When you sell to Eagle for cash, the sale does not hang on a buyer's loan approval.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Franklin Lakes
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.

Franklin Lakes and Bergen County Seller Questions
Before You Sell a Franklin Lakes Home: What Owners Ask Us
Repairs, tenants, estates, timing, historic houses and closing costs, answered briefly.
How soon will I get an offer on my Franklin Lakes house?
We make a written offer within one business day of getting the address and a few details about the house. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You choose the closing date that suits your move.
Do you buy mobile homes in Franklin Lakes?
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 are not sure how your home is titled, send us the address and we will ask a few questions.
Do I have to make repairs before I sell?
No. We buy houses in the condition they are in, including houses that need a new roof, updated systems or a full renovation. We factor the condition into the offer, so you can skip arranging repairs before the sale.
How do you decide what to offer?
The offer reflects the condition of the house and recent sales nearby. You will see it in writing, and it is yours to accept or decline. Ask us to explain how we got to the number if anything is unclear.
Can I sell with tenants still living in the house?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what applies to you depends on the lease terms. Send a copy of the lease with the address and we will go through it together.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Franklin Lakes 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. A real estate attorney licensed in New Jersey can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Franklin Lakes 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 Franklin Lakes: paid by the seller, in tiers that rise with the price, subject to the purchase agreement.
Can I sell my Franklin Lakes 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 Franklin Lakes?
It depends on how title was held and New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 Franklin Lakes 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 New Jersey, 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 tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in New Jersey can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our New Jersey page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
My house is on the National Register or is a known historic home. Can I still sell to you?
You can send it to us. Tell us about the listing when you reach out, and we will take it into account in our offer. Ask your attorney or the borough what a historic listing means for your property, because we do not give legal advice.
I am buying my next house before this one sells. Can the timing work?
You pick the closing date, and if your purchase takes longer we can talk about a later one. You can also ask us for the signed purchase agreement to show your next seller's agent; most accept it, though not all do.
I live out of state. Can I sell my Franklin Lakes house from a distance?
Usually, yes. You can send the address and photos, review the written offer and sign paperwork remotely, depending on what the closing agent requires. Tell us where you are and we will explain how a remote closing would work.
Can I stay in the house until my new place is ready?
Tell us the date you need and we can discuss it. The closing date is set in the purchase agreement, and a later one is possible if your move needs more time. Put your date in your first message so we can plan around it.
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.
