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.

Lafayette Homeowners We Help
Lafayette sellers arrive with very different houses and reasons. Some own a century-old home near downtown, some a rental, some a house inherited from a relative, and some are moving for work. Here are the situations we hear most.
An Older House That Needs Work
Lafayette has many houses built between the 1850s and the 1940s. Sellers often do not know what the roof, wiring or plumbing would cost to fix. You can sell the house as it stands, and we make the offer with the condition already counted in. You do not have to schedule contractors first.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not need to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy houses with tenants in them. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and how that works depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy when you ask for an offer.

An Inherited House
A house from a parent or relative can come with decisions, paperwork and a long drive. If the deed is still in the name of the person who passed away, a title company will tell you what is needed before closing. We explain the steps and can work to a closing date that fits the estate.

Behind on Payments or Taxes
If the mortgage or property taxes have fallen behind, a sale may be one option to look at. Anything owed is typically paid from the sale proceeds at closing. Talk to your lender or an Indiana attorney about your own deadlines; we can give you an offer to compare.
Moving for Work or School
Lafayette sits next to West Lafayette and Purdue University, and some owners move away for a new job or after time at Purdue. If you need to leave before a listing would sell, tell us your target date. Most closings take 21 to 42 days, and we can go later if you need more time.

Comparing Offers Before You Decide
Some sellers collect several offers before they choose. We think that is a good idea. We will explain how ours was worked out, and you can set it beside any other offer, including a listing price from an agent.
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 Lafayette 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 $269,000 sale is about $13,500 to $16,100 | 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 |
| Transfer Tax | Indiana has no state transfer tax; recording fees still apply. 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 Lafayette, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered.
See What We'd PayA Real Call About a House
One homeowner who contacted us was calling around to several cash buyers to compare offers. Our acquisition manager explained how our offer was worked out, starting from the home's market value and taking off the repairs, the costs of reselling it and a margin for the business. The homeowner planned to have a real estate agent they knew check the math, which is exactly what we encourage.
We are not saying this was an Indiana 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 Indiana 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 Lafayette, 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 Indiana 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.
Lafayette Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Lafayette home at $269,000 in August 2026, 2.8% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A century-old home that needs a new roof will often sell below the middle of the range, and a recently updated one may sell above it.
A cash offer is based on the house in front of us: its condition, the repairs it needs and what comparable homes have sold for. That is why we ask for the address and a few details before we make an offer.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Lafayette
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.

Neighborhoods and areas in Lafayette
Centennial Neighborhood
The Centennial Neighborhood District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and covers 63 acres. The area grew after the Wabash and Erie Canal arrived in 1843, and its buildings come from many different periods. For a seller, that mix of ages means two houses on one block can be very different, so the offer depends on the individual house.
Ellsworth Historic District
The Ellsworth Historic District lies in a predominantly residential section of Lafayette and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It has 144 contributing buildings, and its styles include Italianate, Queen Anne and Bungalow/American Craftsman. If your house is here, an offer is made on the house as it stands, in whatever condition it is in.
Highland Park
The Highland Park Neighborhood Historic District is a planned residential subdivision listed on the National Register in 1996. It covers 54 acres, has 240 contributing buildings, and its styles include Queen Anne, Tudor Revival and Bungalow/American Craftsman. Sellers here can send us the address and get an offer without preparing the house for showings.
Perrin Historic District
The Perrin Historic District is a predominantly residential section of Lafayette, listed on the National Register in 1979. It covers 60 acres and has 173 contributing buildings, with Italianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and Bungalow/American Craftsman styles. Whether a house here has been updated or not, we make the offer on its current state.

Lafayette and Tippecanoe County Seller Questions
Before You Sell in Lafayette: Cash Sale Questions Answered
Closing speed, repairs, tenants, inherited houses, liens and fees, answered briefly.
What is the quickest you can sell a house in Lafayette?
With cash buyers like us, you get a written offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. How long it takes depends on title work and the date you choose, and the sale does not wait on a buyer's mortgage.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Lafayette 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 Indiana can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can selling my Lafayette 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 Indiana, 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 Indiana can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Indiana page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Can I sell my Lafayette 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 Lafayette?
It depends on how title was held and Indiana 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 Indiana 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.
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.
Can you buy my Lafayette rental with tenants in it?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place, so you do not have to wait for a lease to end. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and how it is handled depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy with your address.
Do I need to make repairs before I sell?
No. We buy houses as they are, so you do not need a repair checklist or a contractor before you ask for an offer. The condition is part of how we work out the number. Skipping renovating also means you spend nothing before closing.
Do you buy mobile homes in Lafayette?
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 you own both the home and the lot, send us the address and we will take a look.
Do you buy older homes in Lafayette's historic districts?
Yes. Lafayette has several National Register historic districts, including Centennial, Ellsworth, Highland Park and Perrin, and we buy houses in any condition across the city. We make the offer on the house as it stands.
Can I sell quickly if I am relocating for a job or leaving Purdue?
Often, yes. Tell us the date you need and we will work toward it, with a closing date you choose. If your move runs long, we can go later. You can also be at a distance, since much of the paperwork can be done remotely with a title company.
Should I compare your offer with others?
Yes. Comparing offers is a good idea. Ask each buyer how the number was worked out, who pays closing costs, and what the closing date will be. You can also compare against what an agent thinks the house would list for.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Lafayette 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 Lafayette: Indiana has no state transfer tax; recording fees still apply.
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.
