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.

Latham Homeowners We Help
Latham sellers come to us for different reasons. Some have a house that needs work, some are handling an estate, and some want out of a rental. Here are the situations we hear about most.
A House That Needs Repairs
You do not have to fix, paint or clean out the house before we look at it. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, and the offer reflects the condition. Leave what you do not want to take.
Fire, Water or Storm Damage
If the house has been damaged, you may be weighing a sale as-is against the cost of repair or demolition. Send us photos and the address. We review the damage and can send a written offer to compare with your other options, if the numbers work. You decide whether to move forward.

An Inherited House
Selling an estate property can take paperwork and time. We can evaluate the house and make an offer while the estate matters are being sorted out, and you pick the closing date. An attorney licensed in New York can confirm who has authority to sign.

A Rental With Tenants
You can sell a rental with tenants in it. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what happens next depends on the lease terms. Tell us about the lease when you send the address so we can review it.

Behind on Payments
If you are behind on your mortgage or taxes, contact us as early as you can and bring any notices you have. We can usually tell you whether our timeline looks workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or a New York attorney can explain your options.
A Move on Your Schedule
If you are relocating for work or family, you can choose a closing date that fits. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. 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 Latham are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the New York 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 $300,000 sale is about $15,000 to $18,000 | 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 |
| New York Transfer Tax | State rate $4.00 per $1,000 (0.40%). 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 Latham, 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 had a house that burned, and their insurer had declared it a total loss. They already had a bid to tear the house down and wanted to compare it with a cash offer side by side. Our acquisition manager explained that the first figure was a preliminary range, not a firm number, and that a representative would visit to confirm the condition. When they said they wanted to weigh both routes first, the conversation was left open for them to call back if they chose to move forward.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with New York attorneys and title companies who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing attorney or title 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 Latham, 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 New York page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the closing attorney or title company, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The New York 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.
How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Latham
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.

Latham and Albany County Seller Questions
Selling in Latham After Fire, Probate or a Lease: Your Questions
Closing, liens, probate, disclosure, mobile homes and fire damage, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Latham 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 Latham: state rate $4.00 per $1,000 (0.40%), subject to the purchase agreement.
How fast can you close on a Latham 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 closing provider. In New York that is an attorney or title company.
Do I need my own attorney in New York?
The sale is closed by an attorney or title company. Eagle is not a law firm, so for legal questions about your situation, ask a New York attorney. You can sign in person or remotely.
Can selling my Latham 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 New York, 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 usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in New York 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 attorney or title company close fast. Our New York page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Can I sell my Latham 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 Latham?
It depends on how title was held and New York 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 New York 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 Latham 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. New York sellers commonly complete a Property Condition Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in New York 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 attorney or title company used for the transaction.
Do you buy mobile homes in Latham?
Yes, when the mobile home is sold together with the land it sits on.
Can I sell a Latham house that has fire or water damage?
Often, yes. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, and the offer reflects the damage. Send the address and any photos you have, and we can review it.
Is selling your house for cash a good idea?
It can be when speed, convenience and selling as-is matter more than getting the highest possible price. A cash offer is usually lower than what a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on repairs, holding costs and resale risk. Either way, read the written agreement before you sign.
What not to do before selling a house?
Gather your mortgage details, any lien or tax notices and the names of everyone on the deed. You do not need to start renovating or fund repairs when selling to us. At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward.
