What People Say About Working With Us
I received the utmost help from Ms. Kelly with my home. She really went out of her way to help me. I can say she is truly an angel. There are still honest and trustworthy people on this earth.
Alex Anthony was incredible, responsive, no hidden scams and straightforward. Didn't make any promises until REAL numbers were established, which is extremely respectable. Not only was he efficient, he was fast too. He understood our situation with great empathy and was very personable and patient. If I ever find myself in a similar situation, Alex will be my first call.
Quick and efficient! I highly recommend!
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.

Howell Homeowners We Help
Howell sellers come with very different houses and reasons. A few of the situations we hear most often are below.
A House That Needs Work
Roof, kitchen, foundation or a long list of small repairs: you can sell without fixing any of it first. We look at the house as it stands, build the offer around its condition, and you skip the contractor bids and the weekends of cleanup.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We can buy a Howell rental with tenants living in it. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means in practice depends on the lease terms.

A Vacant House
An empty house still costs money every month in taxes, insurance and utilities, and it needs someone to keep an eye on it. If yours has been sitting, send us the address and we can make an offer without a showing schedule.

An Inherited Home
A house left by a parent or relative can be a lot to manage from a distance, especially with other heirs involved. We can work with you and the title company on the paperwork, and you can close on a date that suits the family.

A Move on a Deadline
A job offer, a new baby or a downsize can leave little time to prepare a listing. You pick the closing date that fits your move, and most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.
Payments Getting Hard to Keep Up
If mortgage payments or property taxes are falling behind, tell us early. We will explain what a cash sale could look like and what would be paid from the proceeds, and you can compare that with your other options.
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 Howell are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Michigan Transfer Taxes 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 $385,300 sale is about $19,300 to $23,100 | 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 |
| Michigan Transfer Taxes | State and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; 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, 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 Howell, 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 was phoning several cash buyers to see who would come in highest. Our acquisition manager walked through how the offer was worked out and why it landed where it did, and the caller planned to have a local agent check the math. Comparing offers like this is a good idea, and we encourage it.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Michigan 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 Howell, 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 Michigan 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 Michigan Transfer Taxes 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.
Howell Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Howell home at $385,300 in August 2026, 2.4% higher than a year earlier. That is a middle-of-the-market figure across the whole city.
A typical-value number says little about any one house. Age, repairs, lot and layout can put a particular home well above or below it, and a cash offer is built from the condition of the house in front of us.
Selling the traditional way can make sense when a house is in good shape and you have time for repairs, showings and a buyer's financing. A cash sale suits sellers who would rather skip those steps. Ask for offers from more than one buyer and compare them.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Howell
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 Howell and Livingston County
We buy across Howell and throughout Livingston County, from the streets around downtown to the townships on every side of the city, and in nearby communities such as Brighton, Fowlerville, Hartland and Pinckney.
Neighborhoods and areas in Howell
Howell Downtown Historic District
The district follows five blocks of Grand River Avenue and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 1987. Its buildings date from 1865 to the mid-twentieth century. It is mostly commercial. If your house is near the courthouse square, we buy it as it is, and the offer is based on the house itself, not the district.
Marion Township
Marion Township sits in central Livingston County, bordering the city of Howell, and Interstate 96 runs along its northeast edge. Part of the township uses the 48843 Howell ZIP code, so a Marion Township address can read as Howell on the envelope. For a seller, that means checking your tax bill to see whether you are in the city or the township. We buy in both.
Genoa Township
Genoa Charter Township lies southeast of Howell between the city and Brighton, and part of it shares the 48843 Howell ZIP code. As with Marion Township, a Howell mailing address can still be outside the city, so check your tax bill. We buy houses in the township as well as inside Howell.
Oceola Township
Oceola Township lies northeast of Howell, and M-59 runs through it. Its residents use mailing addresses from Howell and nearby communities. If you own a house here, your property sits outside the city limits, and we still make the same one-business-day written offer.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.
Main ZIP codes: 48843, 48855
We also buy in nearby communities

Howell and Livingston County Seller Questions
Selling Near Grand River Avenue or Out in the Townships? Read This First
Repairs, tenants, vacant houses, mobile homes, timing and the paperwork, answered briefly.
Do you buy houses in all parts of Howell and the surrounding townships?
We buy houses across Howell and Livingston County, including the townships around the city. We buy mobile homes only when you own the land under them, so a home in a park or on a rented lot does not qualify. Send the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.
Do I need to make repairs or clean out the house first?
No. You can sell the house as it is, including furniture and belongings you do not want to move. The offer reflects the condition we find, so there is nothing to fix or stage beforehand.
Can I sell a mobile or manufactured home in Howell?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy mobile homes in a park or on a rented lot. If you own both the home and the land, send the address and a few details and we will review it like any other house.
Can you buy a Howell rental that still has tenants?
Yes. You do not need to empty the house or wait for the lease to end. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and how it is handled depends on the lease terms, so have a copy ready when you contact us.
What if the house has been empty for a while?
That is fine. A vacant house can be sold as it is, and we can plan the sale without a series of showings. Tell us about any issues you know of, such as a roof leak or a shut-off utility, so the offer is based on the real picture.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Howell?
It depends on how title was held and Michigan 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 Michigan 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 I sell my Howell 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.
Can selling my Howell 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 Michigan, 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 usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Michigan can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Michigan page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Howell 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. Michigan sellers commonly complete a Seller Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Michigan 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.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Howell 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 Howell: state and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.
How do you decide what to offer on a Howell house?
We look at what similar homes sell for after repairs, estimate the work your house needs, and allow for the costs of reselling it and for our margin. We can explain the reasoning behind a number if you ask, and we encourage you to compare it with other offers.
How fast can you actually close?
Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and you choose the date. If you need more time, we can work with that. Closing is handled through a title company, so the timeline also depends on how quickly any paperwork is ready.
Does it cost anything to request an offer?
Asking for an offer is free and carries no obligation. You send the address, we send a written offer within one business day, and you decide whether it works for you.
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.
