What People Say About Working With Us
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.
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.
We sold our home to Eagle Cash Buyers. We needed to sell to an investor because we could not afford the cost of repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers stuck to the agreed on price even after finding more damage with the house than originally discussed. Oren communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Eagle Cash Buyers for buying our house and helping us move on with our life.
My husband and I called Eagle Cash Buyers because our house was on the market for almost a year with no bites. We had moved out of our home and to a different state. We called them, it was very simple. We gave them the information on our home and they made an offer that we could not refuse. They took all my calls and questions, and I had a lot. They answered every call the first time I called. They were knowledgeable and helpful and it was such a pleasure and a blessing that we had a great experience. All the other cash home buyers we had called, one low balled us and they were not straight forward. Also our home was very nice, it had a brand new roof and water heater and heater and the attic was freshly insulated. So your home does not need to be trash for you to sell to them.

Lakewood Homeowners We Help
Lakewood sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Here are the situations we hear most often, and how a cash sale handles each one.
A House That Needs Repairs
A dated kitchen, an old roof or deferred maintenance can make a listing slow and expensive. We buy houses in any condition when the numbers work, so you do not repair, clean out or stage anything first. Leave what you do not want to take.
Selling One House While Buying the Next
When the next purchase depends on this sale, timing is the worry, and the date does not have to be rushed.
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 make an offer on a house with tenants in it. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing and what happens next depends on the lease terms.

An Inherited House
An inherited house can mean repairs, a long distance and decisions with family. We can evaluate it while the estate paperwork is sorted out, though we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign. An estate attorney can confirm who that is.

Behind on Payments or Taxes
If you are behind on the mortgage or property taxes, time matters. A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds cover the payoff. Whether it works depends on the lender, the timing and whether the sale closes, so contact us early and bring every notice you have.
Moving on a Deadline
A job change or a move can leave no time for a listing. A cash sale skips showings and the wait for a buyer's mortgage approval, and you can sign in person or remotely. In some cases Eagle can agree to a short stay after closing, usually 7 to 14 days. Part of the seller's proceeds is held in escrow by the title company or attorney and released when the seller moves out. Eagle does not offer rent-backs or longer stays.
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 Lakewood are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Washington Real Estate Excise 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 $515,700 sale is about $25,800 to $30,900 | 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 |
| Washington Real Estate Excise Tax | Graduated state rate starting at 1.1%, plus a local rate. 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 Lakewood, 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 homeowner who contacted us was selling one house while hoping to buy the next, and worried about selling with nowhere to go. Our transaction coordinator explained that the timeline could stretch or wait for the homeowner's financing on the next home rather than forcing a close. The coordinator also offered to send the signed purchase agreement, which a seller can ask for and show other real estate professionals as evidence that money is coming. Many agents accept it, though not all do.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with a title or escrow company that coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the title or escrow company 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 Lakewood, 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 Washington page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the title or escrow company, which handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Washington Real Estate Excise 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.
Lakewood Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Lakewood home at $515,700 in August 2026, 0.3% 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 cash offer is usually lower than what a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling.
As an illustration only: an agent commission usually runs between 5% and 6% of the sale price, and it is negotiable. At the typical value above, that would be roughly $25,800 to $30,900. Eagle does not charge an agent commission on a direct sale to us.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Lakewood
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.

Lakewood and Pierce County Seller Questions
Before You Sell in Lakewood: Offers, Timing and Paperwork Explained
How offers work, repairs, tenants, timing and the paperwork, in plain words.
How do you decide what to offer on a Lakewood house?
We look at the condition of the house, recent sales nearby and the repairs it needs, then work out what we can pay when the numbers work. We make a clear written offer, and there is no obligation to accept it. A cash offer is usually lower than a fully repaired home could reach on the open market.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Lakewood 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 Lakewood: graduated state rate starting at 1.1%, plus a local rate, subject to the purchase agreement.
How fast can you close on a Lakewood house?
Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on title, liens, mortgage payoffs and the title or escrow company handling the closing.
Do I need to repair or clean out my Lakewood house first?
No. We buy houses as-is, including ones that need major repairs, and you can leave what you do not want to take. Whether we make an offer depends on the area, the value and whether the numbers work, not on condition.
Do you buy mobile homes in Lakewood?
Yes, when the mobile home is sold together with the land it sits on.
Can I sell a Lakewood house that has tenants in it?
Yes, we can make an offer on a house with tenants in place. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what happens to the tenancy depends on the lease terms. Send us the lease and the rent details when you reach out.
Can I sell my house before I have bought the next one?
Yes, and many sellers do. You pick the closing date, and a later date is possible if you need more time. A signed purchase agreement is something you can ask for and show other real estate professionals as evidence that sale money is coming.
What if I am not sure a cash sale is right for me?
Then we can usually tell you which route fits. If your house is in good shape and you have both the time to wait for a buyer and the money to put the house right first, listing with a good local agent may get you a higher price. If one of those is missing, a cash sale can be the better outcome.
Can I sell my Lakewood 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 Lakewood?
It depends on how title was held and Washington 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 Washington 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.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Lakewood 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 Washington 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.
Can selling my Lakewood 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 Washington, 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 Washington can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our Washington page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
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.
