What People Say About Working With Us
Wonderful to work with and stayed in contact at all stages through the process. Thank you again for everything.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.
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.
I have worked with Eagle Cash Buyers on several deals both personal and investments. They work well with swiftness and professionalism. Their team is friendly and easy to work with!

Longview Homeowners We Help
No two Longview sales start the same way. One owner has a house from the 1920s building boom that still has its original wiring. Another manages a rental on the west side, and a third inherited a parent's home and lives in another state. Each sale runs a little differently, and our guide to selling for cash in Washington covers the parts that hold true anywhere in the state.
An Older House From the Planned-City Era
Longview was laid out in the 1920s, and its 2019 comprehensive plan counts about 77 percent of the city's homes as built in 1979 or earlier, with more than a quarter going back to 1949 or earlier (2012-2016 Census survey figures). A house from those decades can still have original wiring, older plumbing or a roof near the end of its life, and a buyer's inspector will note whichever of them it has. We look at the house before we make the offer and price the work in, so the repairs stay with us.
A Rental You Are Ready to Let Go
The same plan puts about 46 percent of Longview's occupied homes in the rental column, so plenty of owners here are landlords. You do not need an empty unit or a lease that has run out. The buyer generally takes over the lease at closing, whether that is us or a partner we assign the contract to as the agreement allows, and your tenants keep their rights under it.

An Inherited House in Cowlitz County
When a parent held the house in their own name, someone usually needs legal authority from an estate procedure before a deed can be signed. We can put the offer together while that is being sorted out and set the closing date around it. Furniture, tools and boxes in the garage can stay where they are, and a probate attorney can tell you which route fits your situation.

Behind on the Mortgage
Most Washington foreclosures run through a trustee's sale rather than a court, and the notices carry dates that are easy to lose track of. A sale that closes first can pay off the loan when the price covers what is owed, with any equity left over coming to you; when it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less. A HUD-approved housing counselor or a Washington attorney can explain your options. Call early and bring the notices.
Fire or Water Damage, or an Empty House
A kitchen fire, a burst pipe or a roof that let the rain in can leave a house that many lenders will not finance until it is repaired, and a house that has sat empty for a season can be in the same position. We buy it as it stands. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early, because how the claim is handled goes into the agreement before you sign.

Already Living Somewhere Else
If work or family has taken you out of Cowlitz County, you do not have to come back to sell. Escrow can send a mobile notary to you or mail the signing package, and the proceeds are wired to your account once the deed records.
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 Longview 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 $385,700 sale is about $19,300 to $23,100 | 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 |
| Washington Real Estate Excise Tax | Washington's real estate excise tax is the state's graduated rate plus a 0.25% Cowlitz County local portion, and the purchase agreement sets out who pays it (co.cowlitz.wa.us, checked September 2026). 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 Longview, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayA Real Call About a House
A seller who called us was comparing cash offers and wanted to know how a number like ours gets worked out. Our acquisition manager showed the math on the phone: he started with what the house would likely sell for, took off the cost of the repair work, then the costs we have when we resell the house, and finally a margin for the company. They pushed back on the result and planned to have a local agent check it, which is what we would want any seller to do.
We are not saying this was a Washington homeowner. We do not attach a case to a state it did not come from, 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 Washington 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 Longview, 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 or escrow with the closing agent, who 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.
Longview Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Longview home at $385,700 in August 2026, 0.1% lower than a year earlier. That is essentially flat. A citywide figure shows where prices sit on average and says little about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
When prices are flat, buyers often take their time, look at more houses and press harder on condition once the inspection report comes back. An older Longview house that needs a roof, new wiring or foundation work can sit listed while the price cuts add up.
Financing adds a second hurdle. A buyer using an FHA or VA loan brings an appraiser who checks the house against that program's minimum property standards, and a worn roof or a missing handrail can hold up the loan until it is repaired, usually at the seller's expense. A cash offer does not depend on a buyer's mortgage, so there is no lender appraisal to pass. You see the price, the terms and the date in writing before you sign.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Longview
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 Longview and Cowlitz County

Neighborhoods and areas in Longview
Old West Side
One of the seven original neighborhoods planned by the Longview Company, the Long-Bell Lumber Company subsidiary that built the town in the 1920s. The city's 2019 comprehensive plan puts it at about 1,000 properties, many built before 1940, and says the city documented them in a multi-year inventory finished in 2014. With houses this age, our offer rests on your own house's condition and recent nearby sales, not on the age of the street.
Highlands
HistoryLink records that the first permanent housing Long-Bell built for the new town was 250 small cottages, for sale or rent, in the nearby Highlands and St. Helens additions. The city's 2019 comprehensive plan also calls for a Highlands neighborhood plan and looks at a zoning district written for the area. If you own one of the older cottages here, the written offer is based on your own house's condition and recent nearby sales, and any work it needs stays with us.
West Longview
The western part of the city along Ocean Beach Highway. The city's 2024-2029 parks plan shows its census tracts as the fastest-growing part of Longview between 1990 and 2020, and notes that newer residential development in the city tends toward cul-de-sacs and curving streets rather than the original grid. The 2019 comprehensive plan expects annexation requests along the highway, so a west-side address may be inside the city or just outside it in Cowlitz County; either way we make the offer on the house as it stands.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including mylongview.com, historylink.org and longviewlibrary.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Longview and Cowlitz County Seller Questions
Cottages, Tenants and Excise Tax: What Longview Owners Ask
Disclosure on an as-is sale, Cowlitz County back taxes, inherited homes, damaged or empty houses and Washington's excise tax, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Longview 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.
Who handles the closing in Washington, and do I need a lawyer?
A licensed Washington escrow or title company handles it. It holds the funds, orders the title search, pays off your mortgage and any liens from your proceeds when the price covers them, records the deed and sends you the balance. Routine sales usually close this way without either side hiring an attorney. If probate, a foreclosure or a title dispute is involved, an attorney is worth a call. Most of our closings fall between 21 and 42 days, and you pick the date.
Can selling my Longview 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 foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust 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 sale process, 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 Washington can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Washington page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Longview house?
We begin with what the house would likely sell for once it is repaired, based on recent sales of similar homes nearby. From that we subtract the cost of the work it needs, the costs we carry to resell it, and a margin so the purchase makes sense for us. The written offer shows the price, the terms and an estimate of what you would receive. Asking costs nothing, and you can say no.
Do you buy in every part of Longview?
Yes. We buy in the Old West Side, the Highlands, West Longview and everywhere else inside the city, in the 98632 ZIP code, and in the surrounding parts of Cowlitz County. Where the house sits changes the price, not whether we will look at it.
Can I sell my Longview 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 Longview?
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.
Can you buy my Longview rental with a tenant still in it?
Yes. You do not have to end a lease or wait for the unit to empty. The lease stays in force as written and generally passes to the buyer at closing, and your tenant keeps their rights under it. Tell us the rent, the lease dates and any deposit you hold so they are handled correctly at closing.
Will you make an offer on a house that is vacant or has fire or water damage?
Yes. We price fire, smoke and water damage into the offer, and an empty house is no obstacle. You do not need to repair or clear anything first. If an insurance claim is open, mention it on the first call.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Longview?
Yes, when the land comes with the home. If you own the manufactured home and the lot under it, in Longview or elsewhere in Cowlitz County, we can make one offer on both. A home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
Who pays Washington's real estate excise tax when I sell?
Washington law makes the excise tax the seller's obligation, though the purchase agreement can shift who pays it. The state rate is graduated and starts at 1.1% of the price, so on a $385,700 sale the state part would be about $4,243, and Cowlitz County adds a local portion on top. The escrow company collects it at closing and lists it on the settlement statement you see before you sign.
Is selling for cash a good idea, or should I list?
It depends on the house and your timeline. A house in good shape, listed with time to spare, may bring more on the open market after commission and repairs. A cash sale suits a house that needs work, has a tenant in it or has to be sold by a certain date. Compare what you would actually receive each way, not only the headline price.
