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.
Eagle Cash Buyers were the best company that I have worked with. The process took about 6 weeks and was closed. Everything was upfront and I was told what was being done every step of the way. This company is highly recommended.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.
I had fallen behind on my mortgage and was in the pre foreclosure stage. The property was in a completely different state from where I lived. Eagle Cash Buyers completely saved my peace of mind and sanity. From the initial contact throughout the entire process they, especially Kelly, have been nothing but professional and informative.
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.

London Homeowners We Help
London sellers can have very different houses and reasons: an older home near the courthouse square that has needed work for years, a house in Johnson's Creek being left after a job change, or a rental with a tenant partway through a lease. Each sale runs a little differently, and selling for cash in Ohio goes more smoothly when the buyer starts from your details instead of a script.
An Older House Near Downtown
A house on one of the older streets near downtown London can still have its original wiring, plumbing or roof, and a buyer's inspector will flag all three. We price the work we expect into the offer, so the repairs are ours to arrange, not yours.
A New Build You're Leaving Early
Homes in newer London subdivisions such as Johnson's Creek and Brooksedge are often still under warranty, but a job change, a divorce or a change of plans can put one on the market well before the mortgage is paid down. We make an offer on a recently built house the same way as an older one, based on the property and what's still owed against it, not on how new it is.
A Rental With a Tenant in Place
You usually do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy occupied houses, and in most cases the lease passes to the buyer at closing, which is us or the buyer named in the agreement. Have the lease and the rent amount ready for the first call, and say whether the tenant is month-to-month or on a fixed term.

Inherited a House in Madison County
If the owner held title alone, with no trust, survivorship deed or transfer-on-death designation, the estate often has to go through the Madison County Probate Court before anyone can sign a deed. A house held one of those other ways may pass without it. We buy inherited houses as they stand, and a probate attorney can confirm which route applies to you.

Behind on the Mortgage
In Ohio a foreclosure goes through the courts, so there are usually filings and dates you can read for yourself. Bring every notice to us early. We cannot promise to stop a foreclosure: a sale helps only if it closes in time and the price covers what is owed, or the lender agrees in writing to accept less. A HUD-approved counselor or an attorney can explain your options.
Already Moved Away From London
If a job or a family move has taken you to another city or state and the house sits empty, you do not need to drive back to sell it. The closing agent can often mail the documents or send a mobile notary, and your proceeds are sent after closing, on the schedule the closing agent sets out. Selling it also ends the utilities, insurance and upkeep you pay while it sits empty.

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 London 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 $289,000 sale is about $14,400 to $17,300 | 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 London, 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's husband called us to get the conversation started on her behalf. Before discussing the property, our acquisition manager noticed the inquiry was in her name and asked whether she was able to take part, then set up a three-way call for later that day, once both of them could be on the line, instead of moving forward without her. The first call itself is basic: property details, condition and the seller's situation, nothing more. Nothing is decided and nothing changes hands until the owner is actually on the line.
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 London, 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.
London Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical London home at $289,000 in August 2026, 2.3% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house, so an older home near downtown or a new build in Johnson's Creek can land well above or below it once repairs, upgrades or lot differences are counted in.
Financing can add a step for a traditional buyer. One using an FHA or VA loan brings an appraiser who checks the house against that loan program's condition standards, and a home that doesn't meet them can need repairs before the loan closes. A cash sale to us skips that appraisal contingency; our offer already accounts for the property's condition.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in London
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 London and Madison County
We buy across London and throughout Madison County, from the streets around the courthouse square downtown to newer subdivisions like Johnson's Creek and Brooksedge, and in the county's villages such as Mount Sterling, Plain City and West Jefferson.
Neighborhoods and areas in London
Downtown London
London's downtown core, centered on the Madison County Courthouse square, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the London Commercial Business Historic District in 1985, roughly bounded by Adams, Superior and Clair Streets, Madison Avenue and Huron Street. The district takes in the commercial blocks around the courthouse square. A house on or near these streets is priced on its own age and condition, not on being downtown.
Johnson's Creek
Johnson's Creek is a newer neighborhood off Eagleton Boulevard built by D.R. Horton, with homes generally 1,500 to 2,900 square feet and a homeowners association. If you sell here, any unpaid HOA dues are settled at closing, out of the proceeds, the same as a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
Brooksedge
Brooksedge, off Jacob Lane, includes Arbor Homes' London Landing at Brooksedge community, with one- and two-story floor plans on tree-lined and corner lots. Newer homes like these can still come up for sale early, after a job move or a change in plans, and we price them on the house and what is owed.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org, drhorton.com and yourarborhome.com. Conditions vary from house to house.

Madison County Seller Questions
Straight Answers for London Homeowners Thinking of Selling
Older homes, new construction, tenants, inherited property and closing in Ohio, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my London 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 a lawyer?
An Ohio title company handles it. It runs the title search, holds the funds, pays off your loan and other listed items from the proceeds when the price covers them, and sends you the balance after closing, as its disbursement schedule allows. Many routine sales close without either side hiring an attorney; a probate matter, a foreclosure or a title problem is where one is worth having. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my London 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.
How do you calculate the cash offer on my London house?
We start from what similar houses nearby have actually sold for, then subtract what we expect to spend on repairs and updates, our holding costs while we own it, and the margin we need to resell or rent it. The written offer breaks the number down, and you can ask us to walk through it. It costs nothing to ask, and you are under no obligation to accept.
Can I sell my London 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 London?
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.
Do you buy houses in every part of London and Madison County?
Yes. We look at houses downtown, in newer neighborhoods like Johnson's Creek and Brooksedge, and everywhere else in the city, and in the county's villages and townships. Where the house sits affects the price. It does not, on its own, rule a house out.
My London house has code violations or unpermitted work. Will you still make an offer?
Often, yes. We buy many houses as they stand, including ones with an open city notice or work that was done without a permit, and we price that into the offer. Tell us about any notice on the first call, since these often do not show up in a title search. The closing agent can say which items must be cleared before closing, and an attorney can confirm what has to be disclosed for your house.
What if a tenant is living in my London rental?
We buy occupied houses. Ohio landlord-tenant law governs the notice a tenant is owed, so the steps depend on whether the lease is month-to-month or fixed-term and whether the rent is current. In most cases the lease passes to the buyer at closing, which is us or the buyer named in the agreement, and you usually do not have to ask the tenant to leave first.
Can I sell a London house that is still in both my name and my ex-spouse's?
Often, yes, if both owners agree to sell, since both names on the deed usually have to sign. We can walk each of you through the purchase agreement, and the closing agent can normally pay each owner separately, by wire or check as each of you instructs. If a divorce decree or court order sets terms for the house, an attorney should confirm what it requires before you 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.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes around London?
Yes, as long as you own the land underneath it too. If the manufactured home and the lot are both yours, whether in London or elsewhere in Madison County, we can make one offer covering both. We don't buy a mobile home that sits in a park or on a rented lot, since that isn't something we can take title to.
How much money will I actually walk away with?
The offer price, less your mortgage payoff, any liens or back taxes, your share of prorated property taxes and any conveyance fee that falls to you. On a direct sale to us you pay no agent commission, and we cover the closing costs apart from those items. The closing agent sends a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
How fast can you actually close on a London house?
Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, and you pick the date within that window. It can take longer if you need more time to move, find your next place or clear a title issue, and we work around that. We do not usually promise a close under three weeks; the title search, the closing agent's schedule and any items that need to be resolved first all factor in.
What if my London house has fire or water damage?
We still want to see it. Storm, fire or long-term water damage changes what we expect to spend on repairs, and that comes off the offer rather than off your to-do list. Tell us what happened and whether an insurance claim is open, since a pending claim can affect what needs to be settled before or at closing.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my London 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 London: 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.
