What People Say About Working With Us
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.
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would 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.
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.

Jacksonville Homeowners We Help
Jacksonville sellers do not all start from the same place. Some own a house from the 1920s near the St. Johns River, some have a home in a mapped flood zone, and some are leaving town on short notice. Each of those sales runs a little differently, and selling a house for cash in Florida goes best when the buyer starts from the facts about your house instead of a script.
An Older House Near the River
Some of Jacksonville's oldest neighborhoods near downtown date from the early 1900s, and a house that age anywhere in the city often has some original wiring, plumbing or windows left. Most retail buyers order an inspection, and many then ask for repairs or a lower price; a lender's appraiser may also flag condition items. We buy the house as it stands and price the work into our offer, so you do not have to repair or update anything before you sell.

A House in a Flood Zone or With Storm Damage
Jacksonville sits on the St. Johns River, and a flood zone designation or a past water claim can make a financed buyer hesitate, because the lender usually needs flood and homeowners insurance in place before closing. We do not need a lender or a new policy to buy, and we take storm and water damage as it is. If an insurance claim is still open, tell us on the first call, because how the claim and any payout are handled gets written into the agreement before you sign.
Code Violations or Unpermitted Work
An old porch enclosure, a converted garage or other work done without a permit can hold up a sale, because a retail buyer's inspector, appraiser or insurer may flag it. Tell us what you know about the house, including any open notice from the city. We factor it into the written offer, and you do not have to fix it first. A real estate attorney can tell you what the city requires of you.
Inherited a House in Jacksonville
When a house was titled to the owner alone, Florida probate or another court step is often needed before a sale can close, and a house held in a living trust can often be sold by the successor trustee without one. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture and all, and a probate attorney can confirm which route applies to you.

Behind on the Mortgage
Florida foreclosures go through the courts, so a lender has to file a lawsuit before a house can be sold at auction. That can leave time to sell, but every case is different, and an attorney or HUD-approved counselor can explain your options. A sale that closes before the auction pays off the loan if the price covers what is owed, and whatever is left after any other liens and closing items comes to you. Call early, because the sooner we see your notices, the more room there is to set a closing date ahead of them.
Orders, a Job Move or Living Out of State
Jacksonville has Naval Air Station Jacksonville, and sellers there sometimes get orders on a schedule the housing market will not match. The same goes for owners who have already moved away and are paying for an empty house. Give us your report or moving date and we will tell you honestly whether a closing on that date is realistic. Signing can usually be done with a mobile notary or a mailed signing package, so you do not have to fly back.

Get My Cash OfferWhat the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs
Sellers in Jacksonville are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Florida Documentary Stamp 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 $285,103 sale is about $14,300 to $17,100 | 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 |
| Florida Documentary Stamp Tax | 70 cents per $100 of the price on the deed; the contract decides who pays. 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 Jacksonville, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayA Real Florida Seller Story
A Florida seller who lived out of state kept getting a different person and a different answer each time he called his mortgage servicer. When title work showed the liens on the house added up to more than the contract price, our coordinator promised nothing. He explained that the lender could foreclose if the sale fell apart, then proposed asking the lienholders to accept enough less to bring the total down to the contract price, and said plainly that it might not work. The seller's answer was that there was no harm in trying.
This is a Florida seller. We leave out the town and anything else 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 Florida 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 Jacksonville, 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 Florida 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 Florida Documentary Stamp 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.
Jacksonville Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Jacksonville home at $285,103 in August 2026, 0.8% lower than a year earlier. That is close to flat, with a slight dip. A citywide figure shows where prices sit on average and says nothing about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
When prices are drifting rather than climbing, buyers feel no rush and push harder on condition once the inspection report arrives. A Jacksonville house that needs a roof, new wiring or storm repairs can sit on the market while price cuts add up.
Financing adds another step. A buyer with a mortgage needs an appraisal and homeowners insurance, and a house in a flood zone can also need flood coverage before the lender will close. A cash offer skips the lender's appraisal. You see the number, the terms and the date in writing before you sign, and a licensed Florida closing agent handles the paperwork.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Jacksonville
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 Jacksonville and Duval County
We buy across Jacksonville and throughout Duval County, from the older streets of Riverside, Avondale and Springfield to San Marco, Murray Hill, Mandarin and Arlington. If your house is in 32207, 32210, 32218 or any other Jacksonville ZIP code, we cover it.
Neighborhoods and areas in Jacksonville
Riverside
Platted in 1868 and annexed by Jacksonville in 1887, Riverside grew fastest between the Great Fire of 1901 and the end of the 1920s land boom. Its housing is a mix of bungalows and larger homes in many styles, and the Riverside Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. With that much variety, we price each house on its own condition and on recent sales nearby.
Avondale
Avondale was laid out in 1920 as a planned upscale subdivision next to Riverside, and its housing is mostly Mediterranean Revival in style. The Avondale Historic District was added to the National Register in 1989. Whether a house here is original or updated, you can sell to us without repairs or staging.
San Marco
South of downtown across the St. Johns River, San Marco took off after the Acosta Bridge opened in 1921. The San Marco development itself broke ground in 1925, planned in an Italian Renaissance Revival style, and other styles were added over the following decades. If your house here has been renovated in pieces over the years, tell us what was done and when, and the offer will reflect it.
Springfield
North of downtown, Springfield was established in 1871 and grew quickly after the 1901 fire, when many people who lost homes downtown moved there. The Springfield Historic District was added to the National Register in 1987, and the housing is mostly wood-frame houses in Colonial Revival, Bungalow, Prairie School and other styles. Wood-frame houses of that age vary widely in how much has been updated, so tell us what has been done and we will price the house on its own condition.
Murray Hill
West of downtown near Riverside and Avondale, Murray Hill was created in 1907, incorporated as its own town in 1916 and annexed by Jacksonville in 1925. Its homes are a varied mix of bungalows, cottages and other styles, and most are smaller. Because the houses vary so much in age and size, we price each one on its own condition and on recent sales close to it.
Mandarin
In the southern part of Jacksonville along the St. Johns River, Mandarin began as a farming village and stayed largely rural until the 1960s, when suburban building took over. It became part of Jacksonville in the 1968 consolidation with Duval County. Houses here come from several decades of building, so we price each one on its own condition rather than on the street it is on.
Arlington
East of the St. Johns River, Arlington grew faster than any other part of Jacksonville for about two decades after the Mathews Bridge opened in 1953. It is known for mid-century modern architecture, including homes by well-known local architects. If your house here has its original layout and finishes, tell us, and we will make the offer on the house as it stands.

Duval County and Florida Seller Questions
What Jacksonville Sellers Ask Before Signing Anything
Flood zones, open code violations, orders from Naval Air Station Jacksonville, inherited houses and how a Florida closing works, answered briefly.
My Jacksonville house is in a FEMA flood zone. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. A flood zone designation does not rule a house out. It mostly matters to buyers who need a mortgage, because their lender can require flood insurance before it will close. We buy without a lender, so we price the designation in from the start. Tell us what you know about the property, including any past flood damage or insurance claim, and we will factor it into the written offer.
I have orders from Naval Air Station Jacksonville. How do I sell in time to leave?
Send us the address and tell us your report date. You get a written offer within one business day, and most of our closings take 21 to 42 days, on a date you choose. If your orders leave less time than that, we will tell you plainly whether we can meet the date, so you can decide before you sign anything. A mobile notary or a mailed signing package usually lets you finish the sale from your new duty station.
My house has code violations or unpermitted work. Is that a dealbreaker?
No. Open violations and unpermitted work are things we price in from the start, so you do not have to close them out first. A buyer with a mortgage may have trouble with them, because the inspector, appraiser or insurer can flag them. Tell us what you know about the house on the first call, including any notice from the city, and talk to a real estate attorney about anything the city requires of you as the owner.
Can selling my Jacksonville 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 Florida, 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 Florida can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Florida page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Who handles the closing in Florida, and do I need an attorney?
A licensed Florida closing agent, usually a title company, runs the closing. They order the title search, prepare the deed, pay off your loan and any other balances from the proceeds when the price covers them, and send you what is left once the deed is recorded with the Duval County Clerk. You are welcome to bring your own attorney. Routine sales do not require one, but an attorney is worth having if the sale involves an estate, a court case or a title problem. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days, and you pick the date.
Do you buy houses in Riverside, Avondale, Springfield and other older Jacksonville neighborhoods?
Yes. We buy in Riverside, Avondale, Springfield, Murray Hill and San Marco, and in Mandarin, Arlington and every other part of Duval County, including ZIP codes 32207, 32210 and 32218. Where the house sits affects the price, not whether we will make an offer. Older houses are priced on their own condition and on recent sales close to them.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Jacksonville?
It depends on how title was held and Florida 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 Florida 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.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Jacksonville house?
We start from what the house would sell for once it is repaired, based on recent sales of similar homes nearby, then take off 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 under no obligation to take it.
Can I sell my Jacksonville 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 be in Jacksonville to close?
No. The closing agent can mail your documents or send a mobile notary to you, and the money is wired to your account once the sale records.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Jacksonville?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Jacksonville or elsewhere in Duval County, we can make an offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
How do I know a Jacksonville cash buyer is legitimate and not a scam?
Check the company before you send anything. Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Florida among them. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. You do not pay us anything to get an offer, and the agreement is in writing before you sign. A licensed Florida closing agent holds the funds and records the deed. We either buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to a partner investor, and the agreement discloses those assignment rights before you sign.
How much money will I actually walk away with?
The offer price, less your loan payoff, any liens or back taxes, and your share of prorated property taxes and any transfer tax that falls to you. You pay no agent commission, and we pay the closing costs, apart from your share of any transfer tax. The closing agent sends a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville: 70 cents per $100 of the price on the deed; the contract decides who pays.
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.
