What People Say About Working With Us
I had an inherited house in Westerville, OH that needed major repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers gave me a fair cash offer the same day I called and we closed in just 12 days, as-is with zero realtor commissions. Oren's team handled everything and kept me in the loop the whole time.
Wonderful to work with and stayed in contact at all stages through the process. Thank you again for everything.
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.
Allan was very helpful and the process was fast and easy. I highly recommend.
One of these reviews mentions a faster closing than usual. We move as fast as the title work allows, but most transactions close in roughly 21 to 42 days.

Lebanon Homeowners We Help
Lebanon has houses from nearly every century of Ohio's history, so sellers arrive with very different problems. One owns a Greek Revival house that needs a new roof and cannot get a buyer to look past it. Another inherited a farmhouse on the edge of town, or has a rental to be rid of. If you are weighing a cash sale in Ohio, here is how we handle the common cases. If the house is in South Lebanon instead, we buy there too.
An Old House Inside the Historic Overlay
Lebanon was laid out in 1802, and its older neighborhoods hold houses well over a century old. Houses that old often need roof, wiring or porch work at some point, and you can sell yours without doing any of it first. Visible exterior changes inside the city's Architectural Review Overlay can require a Certificate of Appropriateness before work starts, which adds time. Any buyer who plans to change the exterior has to plan around that. We buy the house as it stands, and any approvals for work after closing are ours to seek.

Fire, Smoke or Water Damage
A house that has burned, or one with a flooded basement or a roof that let water in, often cannot get a standard buyer's mortgage until it is repaired. That narrows the field mostly to cash buyers and buyers using renovation loans. Tell us on the first call if an insurance claim is open, because an open claim can affect the terms, and anything agreed about it goes in writing in the purchase agreement. Your own carrier or adjuster can explain your policy.
Inherited a Warren County House
Inherited houses often sit while the family works out who does what, especially when the heirs live in other states. If the owner held title alone, the Warren County Probate Court may need to appoint someone with authority to sign the deed. A probate attorney can tell you which route fits your situation. We can make an offer while that is being sorted out and set the closing date around it.

Behind on the Mortgage
In Ohio, a lender who wants to foreclose files a case in court, so there is usually a paper trail and some time before a sheriff's sale is set. A HUD-approved counselor or an attorney can explain your options. If our purchase closes before the sheriff's sale and the price covers the payoff, the loan is paid at closing, and whatever is left after other liens, taxes and your share of costs comes to you. Call early and bring every notice you have, because a closing has to happen before any sale date the court sets.
A Rental You Want Out Of
If tenants are living in the house, you do not have to wait for the lease to end or ask anyone to leave. We buy occupied houses, and the lease and the tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing, which is us or the buyer named in the agreement. Tell us the rent, the lease end date and whether any deposit is held so the paperwork lines up.

Empty House or Out-of-State Owner
A house nobody lives in still costs you every month in taxes, insurance and utilities, and empty houses are harder to keep an eye on. If you have moved away, you do not have to drive back to Lebanon to sell. The closing agent can usually arrange a mobile notary or mail the documents to you, and the money is wired to you after the deed is recorded. In most sales you can leave the furniture and belongings you do not want to move; the agreement says what 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 Lebanon are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Ohio Conveyance Fee 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 $402,300 sale is about $20,100 to $24,100 | 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 |
| Ohio Conveyance Fee | State fee of $1.00 per $1,000, plus a county fee of up to $3.00 per $1,000. 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 Lebanon, 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
A seller we spoke with had lost their house to a fire, and it was no longer livable. They had already gotten a demolition bid and asked us for a cash offer so they could compare the two paths side by side. We gave them a preliminary range, said plainly that it was a range and not a firm number, and told them to call if they wanted to go ahead. When the call ended, they were still weighing the two options.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Ohio 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 Lebanon, 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 Ohio 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 Ohio Conveyance Fee 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.
Lebanon Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Lebanon home at $402,300 in August 2026, up 2.4% from a year earlier. That is steady growth, and it is a citywide average of all kinds of houses, not a price for yours. A house that needs a roof, a new furnace or fire repairs is a different sale from the average one.
When prices are rising steadily, buyers who need a mortgage can still be picky about condition. The lender's appraiser has to be satisfied, and a list of needed repairs can lead to a lower offer, a renegotiation or a buyer walking away. Weeks can pass while a listing waits for a buyer who can get financing on a house that needs work.
A cash offer takes that step out. There is no buyer's appraisal to clear, and you see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you agree to anything. The offer costs nothing, and you can turn it down.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Lebanon
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 Lebanon and Warren County
We buy across Lebanon and throughout Warren County, from the older streets near the historic downtown to Cincinnati Avenue and the farmland of Turtlecreek Township. ZIP code 45036 is the one that covers the city, and if your house is anywhere in it, or just outside it, send us the address.
Neighborhoods and areas in Lebanon
Downtown Lebanon
The town was laid out in 1802, and the Lebanon Commercial District, roughly Broadway, Mechanic, Silver, Mulberry and Main Streets, was listed on the National Register in 1984. The Golden Lamb, established in 1803, is the oldest hotel in Ohio. All four of Lebanon's National Register districts sit in and around this original core, so a house nearby may fall inside the city's Architectural Review Overlay. The exterior work that overlay can require is one more reason a retail buyer may hesitate, and one we price in.
Floraville
A historic district along Cincinnati Avenue, roughly between Keever Street and East Street, that began as a string of large estates in the mid-1800s. Its houses are 19th-century residential architecture in Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate and Second Empire styles, and Glendower, the 1836 Greek Revival mansion now a state memorial, is one of its landmarks. On a house this old, we base the offer on what the house needs today and on recent sales nearby.
East End
A National Register district roughly bounded by South, Mound, Pleasant and Cherry Streets. The National Park Service lists its styles as Late Victorian, Bungalow and Craftsman, and later revivals, from a period of significance that runs 1825 to 1924. If your house is inside the district, we can tell you whether any exterior approvals affect a sale before you decide.
North Broadway
The North Broadway Historic District, listed in 1984, is roughly bounded by Broadway, Warren, Pleasant, New and Mechanic Streets. The National Park Service lists Federal and mid-19th-century revival architecture, with a period of significance from 1825 to 1899. Houses in this district may fall inside the city's Architectural Review Overlay, so exterior work can need city approval; we price that in, and you pick the closing date.
Turtlecreek Township
The township, established in 1804, surrounds the city of Lebanon and covers 62 square miles in central Warren County. It is partly rural, with farmland alongside newer development. Whether your address is inside the city limits or out in the township, send it to us and we will make the offer on the house and the lot as they are.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org, woehrmyerteam.com and npgallery.nps.gov. Conditions vary from house to house.

Lebanon and Warren County Seller Questions
Questions a Lebanon Owner Should Get Answered First
Historic-overlay houses, fire damage, inherited homes, rentals and how a closing works in Ohio, answered without the pitch.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Lebanon house?
We begin with what the house would sell for once it is repaired, based on recent sales of similar homes in Lebanon and nearby in Warren County. Then we subtract the cost of the repairs, what it costs us to hold the house while the work is done, and our margin. The written offer shows the price and the terms, and we will go through the reasoning line by line if you ask.
Do you buy houses in the historic parts of Lebanon?
Yes. We buy houses in Downtown Lebanon, Floraville, the East End and North Broadway, and in the rest of the city. Exterior changes inside the Architectural Review Overlay can require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city, and after we own the house that approval process is our job, not yours.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Lebanon 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. Ohio sellers commonly complete a Residential Property Disclosure Form, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Ohio can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Ohio, and do I need an attorney?
An Ohio title company runs the title search, collects the funds, pays what has to be paid from the proceeds and sends the deed to be recorded with the Warren County Recorder. You are not required by us to hire an attorney for a routine sale, but you are free to have a real estate attorney of your own read the agreement. Probate, foreclosure and title problems are where one helps most.
Can selling my Lebanon 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 Ohio, 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 Ohio can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Ohio page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Can I sell my Lebanon 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 Lebanon?
It depends on how title was held and Ohio 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 Ohio 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.
My Lebanon house was damaged by a fire. Can I still sell it?
Yes. We buy houses with fire, smoke and water damage, and you do not need to clear out or repair anything first. Tell us the state of the house and whether an insurance claim is open, and we will work out an offer. Some owners also get a demolition quote and compare it with a sale of the house as it stands. Your insurance company can explain your policy, and the choice is yours.
Can I sell my house with tenants living in it?
Yes. Sellers of Lebanon rentals do not have to end the lease or ask anyone to move first. The lease and the tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing, and your written agreement with us says who the buyer will be.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes around Lebanon?
Yes, if you own the land the home sits on. When the manufactured home and the lot are both yours, in Lebanon or elsewhere in Warren County, we can make one offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
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 I have to stay in the area until closing?
No. If you have moved for work or family, the closing agent can send your documents by mail or arrange a mobile notary where you live, and the money is wired to you when the sale is recorded. Tell us your timeline on the first call, and we will say honestly whether it fits.
How fast can a house in Lebanon close?
You have a written offer within one business day of sending the address. Most closings then take 21 to 42 days, depending mostly on how quickly the title work clears, and we can go slower if you need more time. You choose the closing date, and you can turn the offer down at no cost.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Lebanon 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 Lebanon: state fee of $1.00 per $1,000, plus a county fee of up to $3.00 per $1,000, subject to the purchase agreement.
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.
