You make no repairs first and pay no agent commission. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days through a licensed Ohio closing agent, or later if you need more time to line up your next home.
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.
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.
I have an excellent experience! Very streamlined and simple. A great pleasure!
Eagle Cash Buyers did a great job, and responded quickly. Thank you.

Sellers we bought from, in their own words. Under a minute and a half.
Hilliard sellers rarely start from the same place. One owns a house near Old Hilliard that predates most of the suburb around it. Another bought in a 1990s subdivision and now faces a roof and a furnace of the same vintage. A third is buying the next house and needs the sale to fit around that move. Before choosing a route, read how a cash sale works in Ohio, then see how we handle each situation below.
Any house built before the mid-twentieth century may still have original wiring or plumbing, or a foundation that has settled, and a buyer's inspector will look at each. We price the work into our offer, so the repairs become our job and you can skip the contractor quotes.
Hilliard's community plan says over half of the city's housing was built between 1980 and 1999. A house from those years may be reaching the age when a roof, furnace or water heater comes due, and a buyer with a mortgage may ask for that work before closing. We buy the house as it is. The cost of the work is reflected in the written offer, and you replace nothing beforehand.
Owning a rental in Hilliard can turn into repairs, turnover and calls at odd hours. You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy occupied houses, and the lease and your tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing: us, or the partner named in the agreement.

When a parent owned the house in their own name, Franklin County Probate Court often has to give someone authority to sign before it can be sold. We can look at the house and put an offer in writing while that is sorted out, and set the closing for after the paperwork is in place. We take the house with the furniture still in it. An Ohio probate attorney can tell you which procedure applies to your family.

In Ohio a lender generally has to go through the courts to foreclose, and if the case runs its full course it usually ends with a sheriff's sale (or, in some cases, a sale by a court-approved private selling officer). A private sale that closes earlier can leave you with any equity above what you owe. Call as soon as the first court papers arrive, and talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney about your deadlines. The sooner we see the notices, the more room there is to set a closing date ahead of them.
When the next purchase depends on this sale, the calendar gets tight. A financing approval slips, a move-in date shifts, or you need a few extra weeks in the house. Tell us the timing you need, and we can set the closing date around your move.
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 OfferSellers in Hilliard are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Ohio Conveyance 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, 5% on a $385,000 sale is $19,250 | 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 |
| Ohio Conveyance Fee | The Franklin County conveyance fee is $3 per $1,000 of the sale price (a $1 mandatory fee plus a $2 permissive fee), plus a separate $0.50 transfer fee per parcel (auditor.franklincountyohio.gov, checked September 2026). 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 Hilliard, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayA seller we spoke with was selling one house while trying to buy the next, with the first sale meant to help pay for the second purchase. When the buying side started to slip, the seller asked what would happen if the sale went ahead and there was nowhere to live. They were told the timeline could stretch, or wait for the seller's own move, rather than force a close. The seller also asked for a signed purchase agreement to show other real estate professionals that money was coming, and was offered one; many agents accept that kind of document, though not all do.
We are not saying this was an Ohio homeowner. We do not attach a case to a state it did not come from, and we have removed anything that could identify the person.

Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Ohio closing agents who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing agent arranges. Here is how it runs.
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.
We look at the property, recent comparable sales in Hilliard, 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 Ohio page sets out what a listing costs.
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 Ohio Conveyance 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.
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Hilliard home at about $385,000 in August 2026, roughly 0.8% above a year earlier. That is close to flat. A citywide figure shows where values sit on average and says little about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
When prices barely move, buyers tend to feel less hurry and may ask for more once the inspection report arrives. A house that needs a roof, a furnace or updated wiring can take longer to sell and may need price cuts along the way.
Financing adds a step of its own. Buyers using FHA or VA loans bring an appraiser who checks the house against the program's minimum property standards, and worn roofing or peeling paint can hold up the loan until the required repair is made, often at the seller's expense. A cash sale has no buyer's lender and no lender appraisal. You see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you sign.

These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.
We buy across Hilliard, from the streets around Old Hilliard to the newer subdivisions toward the western edge of the city, and throughout Franklin County. The ZIP code below is Hilliard's main one, not a boundary. If your house is anywhere in Hilliard, send us the address.
The historic center of the city, platted by John Hilliard in 1853 around the railroad station, with a historic district along Norwich Street. The city's community plan calls Old Hilliard the charming, walkable, mixed-use historic center of the city, which makes it different from the suburban subdivisions built around it. An older house here is priced on its own condition and on recent nearby sales, and you update nothing before selling to us.
A focus area in the city's community plan along Hilliard's western edge, roughly 2,800 acres, with Big Darby Creek about two miles farther west. The city's draft community plan, using 2021-era figures, counts about 1,830 homes there, existing and in approved subdivisions, alongside farmland and preserved open space. The 2008 Big Darby Accord sets conservation rules for new development, but an existing house here sells to us like any other: a written offer within one business day and a closing date you choose.

Hilliard and Franklin County Seller Questions
Older and 1990s houses, rentals, vacant homes, inherited property and closing timelines, answered briefly.
Yes. Older houses near Old Hilliard and newer ones from the 1980s and 1990s can both need a kitchen, a roof, electrical work or a basement repair, and we buy them in the condition they are in. The condition is reflected in the written offer, so you can skip the contractor quotes and the repair scheduling.
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. Ohio sellers commonly complete a Residential Property Disclosure Form, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Ohio can confirm which disclosures apply.
A title company or other licensed Ohio closing agent usually handles it: the title search, paying off your loan from the proceeds, preparing the settlement statement and recording the deed with the Franklin County Recorder. Many routine sales close without either side hiring an attorney, though you can always hire one for your own review, and estates, foreclosures and title disputes are where one is most worth having. Most of our closings take 21 to 42 days, on a date you choose.
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 Ohio, 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 Ohio can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Ohio page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Listing can bring a higher price for a house in good shape, and a cash offer is not the right choice for every owner. What you give up by listing is time and certainty: showings, a buyer's inspection and appraisal, repair requests, and an agent commission. Our offer comes in writing within one business day, you pay no agent commission, and the closing date is yours to pick. Compare the estimated net on our written offer with what a listing would leave you after costs, and choose the one that fits.
We start from what the house would likely sell for once repaired, using recent sales of similar homes nearby, then subtract the cost of the work it needs and our costs to hold and resell it. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. It costs nothing, and you are free to say no.
Yes. We buy in Old Hilliard, in the subdivisions built from the 1950s onward, and along the western edge toward Big Darby Creek. Where the house sits affects the price, not whether we make an offer.
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.
It depends on how title was held and Ohio 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 Ohio 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.
Yes. You do not have to wait for the lease to end or ask anyone to move out. The lease and your tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing, and any security deposit is handled as the agreement sets out. Send us a copy of the current lease with the address.
Yes. An empty house still runs up property tax, insurance and utility bills every month, and many homeowner policies change once a house has been vacant for a while, so check yours. We buy vacant houses with whatever is left inside. You do not need to clear them out, clean, or turn the utilities back on for a showing.
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot under it, in Hilliard or elsewhere in Franklin County, we can make one offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
You get a written offer within one business day of sending the address. Most closings take 21 to 42 days, and you choose the date within that range or later if you need more time, for example while you line up your next home. The closing agent's title search and the paperwork set the pace once you accept.
iBuyers mostly look for newer houses in good condition, and their final number often depends on their own inspection. We also buy older, damaged and tenant-occupied houses, and the written offer states the price, the terms and anything that could change the price before you sign. The comparison table on this page puts both next to a listing with an agent.
