What People Say About Working With Us
Very accommodating. Made the process easy and not stressful.
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.
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.
Eagle Cash Buyers were the best company that I have worked with. The process took about 6 weeks and was closed. Everything was upfront and I was told what was being done every step of the way. This company is highly recommended.

Independence Homeowners We Help
Independence sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older place close to the river and the historic blocks, others a rental or a house they inherited, and a few are simply ready to move without a listing.
An Older House That Needs Work
Independence has houses of many ages, including homes built in the 1880s and 1890s. If yours needs a roof, wiring, plumbing or paint, you do not have to fix any of it first. We look at the house as it stands and price it with its condition in mind, so you skip the contractors and the repair bills.
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 house with tenants living in it. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what that means for you depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it with you.

An Inherited House
A house that came to you from a parent or relative can sit empty and cost money every month. We buy inherited houses, including ones nobody plans to live in. Who has authority to sign depends on how the estate is set up, so we ask what paperwork you have and your attorney can confirm the rest.

A Vacant House
An empty house still carries taxes, insurance and utilities, and it needs someone to look after it. If you live out of the area or simply moved on, you can sell without staging, showings or an agent. Tell us about the house and we will explain the next steps by phone or email.

Behind on Payments or Facing Foreclosure
If mortgage payments have slipped, a sale can be one of the options to weigh. Usually the sale has to pay off what you owe, unless the lender agrees in writing to accept less. We will tell you plainly whether our offer covers it. A housing counselor or attorney can explain your deadlines. Contact us early, because more time means more choices.

A Move Where Timing Matters
A new job, a new home or a family change can make a months-long listing impractical. Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, and if you need longer we can plan around your date. You choose the closing day, and we agree on your move-out date in writing before you sign.
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 Independence are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, any 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 $425,500 sale is about $21,300 to $25,500 | 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 | Oregon bars new local transfer taxes; one already in effect in March 1997 can still apply. 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 Independence, 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 had a family member call on her behalf after she sent in an inquiry in her own name. Our acquisition manager noticed the name did not match and asked whether she was able to take part. Because the house was hers, the call paused and a three-way call was scheduled for when she was home. Our policy is that the owner is part of the conversation before anything moves forward.
We are not saying this was an Oregon 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 Oregon 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 Independence, 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 Oregon 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. Any 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.
Independence Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Independence home at $425,500 in August 2026, 2.1% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure describes mid-priced homes across the whole city. It says little about one specific house, because condition, age and location move a price up or down.
A traditional sale also takes time. You prepare the house, list it, host showings and wait on a buyer's financing and inspection. A cash sale to us skips those steps, which can matter more to some sellers than the last bit of price.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Independence
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.

Independence and Polk County Seller Questions
Selling Near the Willamette: What Independence Owners Want to Know
Mobile homes, tenants, closing costs, liens, probate and foreclosure, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Independence 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 Independence: Oregon bars new local transfer taxes; one already in effect in March 1997 can still apply, subject to the purchase agreement.
How is my cash offer calculated?
We look at the address, the condition, what similar houses in the area have sold for and what repairs the house may need. You get a written offer within one business day of sending the details. The offer is yours to accept or decline, and there is no charge for asking.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Independence 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 Oregon can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can I sell my Independence 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 Independence?
It depends on how title was held and Oregon 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 Oregon 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 Independence 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 Oregon, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust 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 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 Oregon can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Oregon 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 Independence?
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 land are both yours, send us the address and tell us whether the home is permanently attached.
Do you buy houses in the older blocks near Main Street, or only newer ones?
We buy houses of any age in Independence, including older homes near the historic district. We never ask you to repair or clean out the house first. Send the address and we will respond with a written offer within one business day.
I live out of the area. Can I sell my Independence house from a distance?
Yes. Most of the process runs by phone, email and electronic signature. The Oregon closing agent handles the closing paperwork and can often arrange remote signing, so you may not need to travel. Tell us early where you are, and we will plan the steps around that.
My house is vacant. Does that change anything?
Not much. We buy vacant houses, and we can arrange a walkthrough with you or someone you trust. It helps to tell us whether utilities are on and whether anyone has a key.
I have tenants. Do I need them to leave before I sell?
No. We can buy a house with tenants in place. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy early.
Can someone else make the first call for me?
They can start the conversation, but the owner, or someone with legal authority to act for the owner, needs to be on the call before anything moves forward. If you are busy, a spouse or relative can reach out first and we will schedule a time when you are both available.
How fast can I close?
Most sales close in 21 to 42 days. If you need more time, say so and we can plan for a later date. You pick the closing day within what the title work allows.
