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.
It was a pleasure working with Eagle Cash Buyers, they helped with a complicated journey for the sale of my mother's estate. Thank you Kelly.
Experienced and trustworthy! It has been great to work with Oren from Eagle Cash Buyers.
Eagle Cash Buyers helped me to stop a foreclosure. My home was 2 days away from an auction. For a company who invests in buying homes for profit they helped my family keep mine. So grateful.

Golden Hills Homeowners We Help
Golden Hills sellers come to us for different reasons. Some have a house that needs work, some own a rental, and some simply want to skip listing and showings. Here are the situations we hear most.
A House That Needs Work
Repairs, deferred updates or a dated kitchen do not stop a sale to us. We can buy a house as it is when the numbers work, so you do not have to hire contractors, repaint or stage before anyone walks through. We take a look at the details you send and tell you plainly whether we can make an offer.
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 can buy a rented house with the tenants in it if the numbers work. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what happens next depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we can go through it with you.

An Inherited House
Selling a house after a family member has passed can feel like one more task on a long list. We can make an offer while the paperwork is sorted out, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign. A probate or estate attorney licensed in California can confirm who that is. Family members who share the decision are welcome to join the call.

Behind on Payments
If missed payments are piling up, a sale may give you options, but only if there is enough time and enough equity. Foreclosure timing depends on your lender or servicer and the trustee's sale schedule, so we make no promises about it. We can usually help only with at least three weeks before the auction and your cooperation. Tell us your timeline early and we can say honestly whether a sale can work.
Moving on a Deadline
A new job, a family move or a house you are already paying for elsewhere can make a long listing hard to live with. With a cash sale there is no buyer's loan to wait on and no showing schedule. You choose the closing date, and if the numbers work we can usually fit the date you need.
Skipping the Listing Process
Listing a house means photos, open houses, buyer repair requests and an agent commission, which is usually between 5% and 6%. Some Golden Hills owners would rather avoid all of that. A direct sale to Eagle replaces the listing with one offer you can accept or turn down, and you can compare it with what a listing might bring.
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 Golden Hills 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 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 $300,000 sale is about $15,000 to $18,000 | 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 |
| Documentary Transfer Tax | County tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000). 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 Golden Hills, 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 caller selling a house on behalf of her family was comparing cash offers and asked how a number is reached. Our acquisition manager walked through it step by step: start from the market value, subtract the repair work the house needs, subtract the buyer's costs of reselling it, then subtract a margin for the business. What remained was the offer, and she planned to have an agent check the math.
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 that coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the title or escrow 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 Golden 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 California page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the title or escrow company, which 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.
How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Golden Hills
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.

Golden Hills and Kern County Seller Questions
Before You Say Yes: Golden Hills Owners Ask These First
Closing costs, liens, probate, mobile homes, staying after closing and what a cash offer really is, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Golden 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 Golden Hills: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000), subject to the purchase agreement.
Can I sell my Golden 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 Golden Hills?
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.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Golden 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. 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.
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 Golden 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 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. 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 California page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy mobile homes in Golden Hills?
We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own both the home and the land under it, send us the address and we can usually tell you whether the numbers work.
How do you decide what your offer is?
We start from what the house is worth on the market, subtract the repair work it needs, subtract our costs of reselling it, and subtract a margin so the business can operate. What is left is the offer. That is why a cash offer is lower than a retail listing price, and the trade is speed and not having to prepare the house. You are welcome to compare it with other offers or with a listing.
Is selling your house for cash a good idea?
It can be, depending on what matters most to you. A cash offer skips listing, showings and a buyer's loan, and it can cover a house that needs repairs without you paying for them. A Realtor-listed sale may bring a higher price but usually takes longer and costs a commission. Compare both before you decide.
What stops a house from selling?
Overpricing is a common reason, since buyers compare the listing with similar homes. Repairs that an inspection turns up can also lead buyers to ask for credits or walk away, and a listing that sits for weeks often gets harder to sell. If those problems sound familiar, a direct offer is one alternative.
Who handles the closing, and can I sign remotely?
At Eagle, we work with a title or escrow company that coordinates the paperwork. You can sign in person or remotely. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and you can ask for a later date if you need more time.
Who needs to be on the call when you present the 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. Anyone whose signature or authorization is required should be involved before closing.
Can I stay in the house after closing?
In some cases, yes, for a short time, usually a week or two. Part of your proceeds is held in escrow by the title company or attorney until you have moved out. Our policy is to offer no rent-back and no longer stays, so plan your move around the closing date you choose.
Do I have to make repairs or clean out the house first?
No. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, so you do not need to repair, repaint or clear it out for us. Your offer takes the condition into account, and we can usually tell you quickly whether we can make one.
Is there any obligation when I ask for an offer?
No. Asking for an offer is free, and you can accept it, negotiate or say no. You also do not need to list the house or prepare it for showings to receive one. Send us the address and details about the house, and a written offer follows within one business day when we can make one.
