What People Say About Working With Us
My old rental in Austin kept sitting vacant. Eagle Cash Buyers made a straightforward cash offer the day after I called and we closed in 10 days. No inspections, no repairs, and they even worked with my tenants' schedule. Perfect option for landlords wanting to sell an investment property quickly, as-is.
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.
Eagle Cash Buyers did a great job, and responded quickly. Thank you.
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.
One of these describes a closing faster than our normal range. We move as fast as the title work allows, but most transactions close in roughly 21 to 42 days.

Houston Homeowners We Help
No two Houston sales start in the same place. One owner has a Heights cottage inside a historic district, another has a ranch house that flooded once and was only partly repaired, a third has tenants in a rental and a job waiting in another state. Each one runs a little differently, and our page on selling a house for cash in Texas covers the state rules that apply to all of them.
A Heights House Inside a Historic District
Parts of the Houston Heights sit inside the city's three designated Heights historic districts, where most exterior changes, additions and demolition need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city. A retail buyer planning an addition has to factor that approval into the plan. Selling to us, you apply for nothing and change nothing first.
Flood or Storm Damage
Water from Hurricane Harvey or a later storm, a roof that lost shingles in high wind, drywall cut out to four feet and never replaced: we buy houses in any of those conditions. Tell us what happened, what has been repaired and whether an insurance claim is still open, because how any claim money is handled gets written into the agreement before you sign.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not need an empty house to sell. We buy single-family rentals and small multifamily buildings with the tenants living there, and the leases and the tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing: us, or the buyer we assign the contract to under the agreement. Send us the rent roll and the lease terms, and the offer works from them.

Inherited a Houston House
Whether an inherited Houston house has to go through probate court depends on how title was held and whether there is a will, and a Texas probate attorney should confirm the route. We can look at the house and make the offer now, but closing waits until someone has legal authority to sign. We buy it with the furniture and belongings still inside.

Behind on Payments or Facing a Foreclosure Notice
Most Texas home foreclosures are sales under a deed of trust rather than lawsuits, and the auctions are usually held on the first Tuesday of the month, at a place the county commissioners court designates. A sale to us that closes first pays off the loan if the price covers what is owed, and what remains after any other liens and prorations comes to you; if it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less. An attorney or a HUD-approved counselor can explain your options. Call as soon as a notice arrives.

A Deed Restriction or HOA Notice
Houston has no zoning, so many neighborhoods rely on recorded deed restrictions, and the City of Houston's Legal Department helps enforce them. If an association or the city has sent a notice about a carport, a fence or a business run from the house, tell us early. We price the fix into the offer, and the title company confirms what has to be paid or released at closing. If a lawsuit has been filed, have an attorney look at it.
Already Moved Away From Houston
If a new job or family has taken you out of state, you do not have to fly back for the sale. The title company can send a mobile notary to you or mail the signing package, and the proceeds are wired to you after closing.

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 Houston are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs 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 $261,700 sale is about $13,100 to $15,700 | 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 |
| Transfer Tax | Texas has no real estate transfer tax, by its constitution. Anything charged is shown on your settlement statement before closing | The same rules apply | The same rules apply |
| Seller Closing Costs | We pay the closing costs. 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 Houston, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered.
See What We'd PayThree Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Texas 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 Houston, 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 Texas 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. Every cost is 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.
Houston Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Houston home at $261,700 in August 2026, 2.3% lower than a year earlier, and the index has slipped a little every month this year. That is a typical value for the whole city, from new townhouses to 1950s ranches. It does not tell you what one house is worth, least of all one that needs work.
In a market that is drifting down, buyers take their time. They compare more houses, ask for more after the inspection, and wait for price cuts. A Houston house with an old roof, a foundation that has moved or a history of water getting in can sit through several of those rounds while the tax, insurance and utility bills keep coming.
Buyer financing adds its own step. With an FHA or VA loan, the appraiser checks the house against that program's property standards, and a failing roof, peeling paint or a missing handrail can hold the loan up until it is repaired. A cash sale has no buyer loan and no lender appraisal. You see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you sign.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Houston
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.
Where We Buy Houses in Houston, Harris County, Fort Bend County and Montgomery County
We buy all over Houston, from the Heights, Montrose and EaDo near downtown to Acres Homes in the northwest, Sharpstown in the southwest, Kingwood in the northeast and Clear Lake down by the space center. The city reaches into Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties, and we buy in every part of it.
Neighborhoods and areas in Houston
Houston Heights
Founded in 1891 as a planned streetcar suburb about four miles northwest of downtown, the Heights still has many homes from the early 1900s along its tree-lined streets, some inside city historic districts. Selling to us, the house stays exactly as it is.
Montrose
An inner-loop area of west-central Houston, roughly between Allen Parkway and US 59, and one of the city's major cultural areas, with restaurants and cafes along Westheimer, several of them in renovated pre-World War I houses. Its housing runs from early twentieth-century homes to newer buildings from the real estate boom that began in the 1990s. An older house here is priced on its own condition and recent nearby sales, and you do not have to update it first.
EaDo (East Downtown)
East of downtown and north of I-45, next to the George R. Brown Convention Center and around Shell Energy Stadium. Warehouses and small older houses have increasingly given way to townhouses, a change already well under way by 2015. We buy both the older houses and the newer townhouses, with no showings and no repairs.
Fifth Ward
About two miles northeast of downtown, the Fifth Ward took its name in 1866 and grew after the Southern Pacific Railroad built repair shops there. Since 1989 the Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation has built new homes among the older ones. Old or new, we make the offer on your house as it stands.
Kashmere Gardens
A neighborhood in the northern 610 Loop area that the city took in during the 1940s. It is mostly single-family houses, many of them on large lots. The offer looks at the land as well as the house, so a bigger lot is part of the number.
Acres Homes
About nine square miles of northwest Houston, named for the homesites sold here from the World War I years, which were measured by the acre rather than the lot. The city annexed it in stages in 1967 and 1974. Houses range from smaller wood-frame homes to larger ones on tree-lined lots, and if yours sits on more land than a typical city lot, tell us so the offer reflects it.
Sharpstown
A master-planned subdivision in southwest Houston, dedicated in 1955, laid out with its own schools, shopping and parks around Sharpstown Center, now PlazAmericas. The housing runs from post-war bungalows to mid-century houses, many on large lots. We buy them as they stand, and you do not have to update anything first.
Kingwood
Begun in 1970 by Friendswood Development and King Ranch and annexed by Houston at the end of 1996, Kingwood is a set of villages made up of single-family subdivisions, mostly in Harris County with a small part in Montgomery County. Community associations control the deed restrictions. If an association has sent a notice about the house, tell us early so it can be handled in the agreement.
Clear Lake City
A master-planned community started by Friendswood Development in 1963 beside NASA's Johnson Space Center, with its Houston portion annexed in 1977. It is made up of residential subdivisions, and a community association runs its recreation center. If you are moving on from the area, we can set the closing date around your move.

Texas and Harris County Seller Questions
Houston Sellers Ask About Floods, Deed Restrictions and Taxes
Past flooding, deed restrictions and HOA notices, property-tax proration, inherited houses and selling during a divorce, answered in plain terms.
Does past flooding or a flood zone stop you from buying my Houston house?
No. Water damage from Harvey or any later storm, repaired or not, and a location in a FEMA flood zone are things we price into the offer, not reasons to walk away. Tell us when the water came in, how high it reached, what was repaired and whether there was an insurance claim, so the offer is built on what actually happened.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Houston 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. Texas sellers commonly complete a seller's disclosure, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Texas can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing on a Houston house, and do I need a lawyer?
In Texas a title company usually handles it. The title company searches the title, pays off your mortgage and anything else that has to be cleared from the sale proceeds when the price covers them, records the deed with the county clerk and sends you the rest. Many routine sales close without either side hiring their own attorney, and you are always free to use one; probate, foreclosure and title disputes are good reasons to. Most of our closings take 21 to 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my Houston 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 Texas, 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 Texas can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Texas page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How are property taxes split when I sell my Houston house?
Usually by proration. The year's property tax is divided between you and the buyer by the closing date, and your share normally comes off your proceeds rather than being paid as a separate check. If that year's bill has not been issued yet, the title company generally works from an estimate based on the prior year. A homestead exemption belongs to the owner who lives in the house, so the buyer applies for their own. Your settlement statement shows the exact figures before you sign.
My house has HOA violations or unpaid dues. Can I still sell it?
Usually, yes. Unpaid association dues and fines are normally paid from the sale proceeds at closing when the price covers them, and the title company asks the association for its figures beforehand. A violation such as an unapproved carport or fence can be priced into our offer instead of being fixed first. Send us any notices you have so nothing surprises anyone at closing.
Do you buy all over Houston, or only inside the Loop?
All over, inside and outside the Loop, including the parts of Houston that reach into Fort Bend and Montgomery counties. Where the house sits changes the price, not whether we make an offer.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Houston house?
We look at what similar houses nearby have sold for once fixed up, subtract what your house needs, from a roof to a foundation repair, and subtract our costs to hold and resell it. The written offer lists the price, the terms and your estimated net. Asking costs nothing, and you do not have to accept.
Can I sell my Houston 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 Houston?
It depends on how title was held and Texas 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 Texas 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.
We are divorcing. Can we sell our Houston house to you?
Yes. Everyone on the title normally has to sign, and if a court order or decree covers the house, the sale has to follow it. We make one written offer, and the title company divides the proceeds the way your agreement or decree directs. A family law attorney can confirm what your case requires before you sign.
Do you buy manufactured homes in Houston?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot under it, in Houston or elsewhere in the area, we can make one offer on the two together. Send us the home's Texas Statement of Ownership if you have it, so the title company can see whether the home and land are recorded together. We do not buy a home in a mobile home park or on a rented lot.
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.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Texas among them. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, and not every one of them is five stars. Oren Sofrin, our founder, reviews the pages that explain how we work.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Houston house to you?
We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, 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 Houston: Texas has no real estate transfer tax, by its constitution.
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.
