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.
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.
Experienced and trustworthy! It has been great to work with Oren from Eagle Cash Buyers.
After talking with several other cash buyers and real estate agents I talked with Alex and he really worked with me and got me the best deal. Down to earth and straight with facts.

Hermantown Homeowners We Help
Hermantown sellers rarely look alike. Some own a house on a wooded lot, some own acreage out toward the rural west side, and some are handling a house they inherited or no longer want to keep up.
A House on a Large Lot That Is Too Much to Keep Up
Hermantown is known for sizable lots. When the yard, the roof or the driveway gets to be more than you want to manage, selling as-is means no repair list and no cleanup before we make an offer. You tell us what the house needs and we price it that way.
Inherited a Hermantown House
If you live out of town and a parent's house is now yours, you can start with a phone call. We explain how a sale works when an estate is involved, and a Minnesota attorney or title company confirms the legal steps. Once someone has legal authority to sign, you choose the closing date within the usual 21 to 42 days, or later if you need it.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not need to wait for a lease to end. We buy houses with tenants in them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what applies to you depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it.

Behind on the Mortgage
Missed payments narrow your choices, and time matters. A cash sale can close in 21 to 42 days, and if the price covers what you owe, your mortgage payoff comes out of the sale at closing. If you have received a foreclosure notice, read the dates on it carefully and call us early.
Moving for Work or Family
A job in the Twin Cities, a new job out of state, a move to be near family. Selling the traditional way means showings and a listing period while you are somewhere else. We work with you from a distance, and you can pick a closing date that fits your move.

A House Needing Repairs You Cannot Afford
Water damage, an old furnace, a worn roof or a garage that has seen better days. We buy houses in the condition they are in, and the offer is based on what the house needs.
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 Hermantown are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Minnesota Deed 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, 5% on a $432,800 sale is $21,640 | 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 |
| Minnesota Deed Tax | about 0.33% of the net price (slightly higher in a few counties); customarily the seller's. 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, back taxes and any other debts against the property are paid from your proceeds, as in any sale | 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 Hermantown, 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
A homeowner once contacted us by sending in an inquiry, and a family member called the next day to start the conversation. Our acquisition manager asked whether the owner could take part, then set up a three-way call for later that day. He described the first call as basic: it is for learning about the property, its condition and the situation, with no offer on the spot and no paperwork.
We are not saying this was a Minnesota 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 established Minnesota closing agents who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing agent 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 Hermantown, 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 Minnesota page sets out what a listing costs.
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 Minnesota Deed 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.
Hermantown Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Hermantown home at $432,800 in August 2026, 5.9% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A house that needs a new roof, a septic repair or heavy cleaning usually sells for less on the open market than a similar house in good repair.
Listing also brings a long list of extras: repairs the buyer asks for, a financing appraisal and showings that need the house kept clean. A cash sale skips those steps, so you should weigh the offer against what you would net after repairs, commission and time, not against the headline number.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Hermantown
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.

Neighborhoods and areas in Hermantown
The Jackson Project
Wikipedia describes the Jackson Project as 84 subsistence homesteads in Hermantown, completed in 1937 during the Great Depression. Each had a brick-veneer farmhouse, and many keep their original brick look, with additions. Each house was built on its own parcel, and many have had additions since, so acreage, outbuildings and layout differ from one to the next. If you own one, tell us about the lot and anything added since 1937, because those details shape the offer.
Eastern Hermantown
The eastern part of the city, next to Duluth, has large, leafy lots and occasional subdivisions. Lot size can affect what a house is worth, so mention the acreage, outbuildings and any trees or slope when you send your address.
Western Hermantown
Wikipedia describes the western part of the city as more rural. Some houses out here sit on acreage, and some rely on a private well or septic system rather than city utilities, so tell us which yours has. The details of the land and the systems are what we ask about first.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Hermantown and St. Louis County Seller Questions
Selling in Hermantown: Questions About Lots, Wells and Closing
Closing costs, acreage and wells, tenants, mobile homes, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Hermantown 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 Hermantown: about 0.33% of the net price (slightly higher in a few counties); customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Hermantown 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 Minnesota can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can I sell my Hermantown 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 Hermantown?
It depends on how title was held and Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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.
Can selling my Hermantown 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 Minnesota, 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 tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Minnesota can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Minnesota page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
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.
Do you buy mobile homes in Hermantown?
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 the land are one property, send the address and we will take a look.
Do I have to clean out the house or make repairs first?
No. We buy houses in the condition they are in, so there is nothing to fix or clean up before we make an offer. Tell us what the house needs when you send the address, and the written offer, sent within one business day, reflects that.
My Hermantown property has acreage. Does that change the offer?
It can. Lot size, outbuildings, access and what is on the land all matter, so tell us about them when you send the address. We still buy the house as it stands, and we do not ask you to subdivide or clear anything.
Does it matter that my house has a well and septic system?
We ask about them because some houses on the rural side of the city have private systems. You do not have to fix them yourself before an offer. In St. Louis County a septic compliance inspection, and sometimes an escrow for replacement, can be required when a property changes hands, and Minnesota requires a well disclosure at sale. The closing agent confirms what applies to your house, and we price the house with that in mind.
I own a rental in Hermantown with tenants. Can you still buy it?
Yes. We buy rentals with tenants in place. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, but what applies depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it.
How fast can the sale close?
You get a written offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and we can close later if you need more time. The date depends on the title work and on when you want to move.
Do you buy only in Hermantown, or also in Duluth and nearby?
We buy across Minnesota and in 43 states. For Hermantown sellers who have a house in Duluth or Cloquet too, those cities have their own pages and the same process applies.
Do I need an agent or a lawyer to sell to you?
You do not need an agent for a sale to us. A title company or closing attorney handles the paperwork at closing. If your situation involves an estate, a divorce or a lien, talk to a Minnesota attorney as well.
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.
