What People Say About Working With Us
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.
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.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.
After talking with several other cash buyers and real estate agents I talked with Alex and he really worked with me and got me the best deal. Down to earth and straight with facts.

Martinez Homeowners We Help
Martinez sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home near downtown, some own a place in the hills, and some are settling an estate or handling a rental.
An Older House That Needs Work
Martinez was laid out in 1849 and has many older homes near its historic center. If yours needs a new roof, updated wiring or plumbing, or simply a lot of cosmetic work, we price the repairs into the offer so you do not have to pay for them first or hire contractors. You can sell it as it is.
An Inherited House
A house passed down from a parent can come with furniture, paperwork and relatives in different places. We can buy it with the contents still inside. If the title is not yet in your name, we explain what a title company usually needs, and an attorney can confirm the steps for your situation.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy houses with tenants in them. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens next depends on the lease terms.

A Move on Your Own Timeline
Some sellers have a new job, a purchase somewhere else, or a house they are tired of carrying. You pick the closing date within what the title work allows. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and we can go later if you need more time.
Falling Behind on the Mortgage
If payments have slipped, a cash sale is one option to compare with others. Whether the price covers your payoff depends on what you owe, and we will tell you plainly what we see. A housing counselor or attorney can explain your other choices.
A House You Do Not Want to List
Listing means cleaning, showings, repairs a buyer's inspector may ask for, and a wait for a buyer's financing. A cash sale skips that. You trade some of the price a fully renovated sale might bring for speed, certainty and a simpler process.
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 Martinez are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Documentary 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 $753,700 sale is about $37,700 to $45,200 | 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 |
| Documentary Transfer Tax | County tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own. 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 Martinez, 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 calling around to compare cash offers. Our acquisition manager explained how the offer was built: the home's market value, less the repair work, less the costs we expect when we resell it, less a margin. The homeowner pushed back on the number and planned to have a local agent check the math, which is exactly what a seller should do.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established California 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 Martinez, 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 California 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 Documentary 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.
Martinez Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Martinez home at $753,700 in August 2026, 1.7% lower than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A house that needs a new roof or has not been updated in decades will usually sell for less than that figure, and a recently renovated one may sell for more.
That is why a cash offer starts from what the house would be worth repaired and then subtracts the work needed, the buyer's own costs of reselling it and a margin. It is a different number than a listing price, and we explain how we got to it.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Martinez
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.

Neighborhoods and areas in Martinez
Downtown Martinez
The city's zoning code (Chapter 22.27) sets a downtown historic overlay district covering the Downtown Core and Civic districts, aimed at preserving historic commercial, civic and mixed-use buildings. Many houses near downtown may sit outside it. If yours is inside it, exterior changes may need city review, and a buyer will check that. Either way, we price the house on its own condition.
Alhambra Valley
Alhambra Valley is a census-designated place in the Briones Hills of central Contra Costa County, listed separately from the city of Martinez, and it falls in the Martinez Unified School District. Much of Alhambra Valley is unincorporated, so depending on the parcel, permits and planning may go through Contra Costa County rather than the City of Martinez. That can matter when a buyer checks the permit history.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including gocodebook.com and en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Martinez and Contra Costa County Seller Questions
Before You Sell Your Martinez Home: Plain Answers
How an offer is built, closing timing, mobile homes, liens, probate and costs, answered briefly.
How do you decide what to offer on my Martinez house?
We start with what the house would be worth in good condition, subtract the repair work it needs, subtract the costs we expect when we resell it, and keep a margin so the business can operate. Showing the steps lets you check the math, and you are welcome to compare our offer with others.
How fast can you close on a Martinez house?
We make a written offer within one business day of getting your address and details. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. The date depends partly on the title work, so we set it with you.
Is selling my house for cash a good idea?
It can be if you value speed and a simple sale over the highest possible price. A cash offer usually comes in below a listing price, because it accounts for repairs and the buyer's own costs. It also lets you skip showings and avoid repairs before closing. Compare it with listing and decide what matters to you.
Do you buy mobile homes in Martinez?
Yes, when the seller owns the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you own both the home and the land in Martinez, send the address and we will look at it.
Do I need to repair or clean out my house first?
No. You can sell it as it is, including with belongings inside. The cost of any repairs is already part of how we build the offer.
Do you buy only in Martinez, or across Contra Costa County?
We buy across Martinez and Contra Costa County, and in 43 states overall. Send the address and we will tell you whether the property qualifies. We buy mobile homes only with the land, so not every property is a fit.
Can I sell a house with tenants living in it?
Yes. We buy rentals with tenants in place. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what happens after that depends on the lease terms.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Martinez 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 Martinez: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.
Can I sell my Martinez 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 Martinez?
It depends on how title was held and California 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 California 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 Martinez 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. California sellers commonly complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in California 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 Martinez 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 California, 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 California can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our California 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.
