What People Say About Working With Us

Christina SouderRated 5 out of 5
My husband and I called Eagle Cash Buyers because our house was on the market for almost a year with no bites. We had moved out of our home and to a different state. We called them, it was very simple. We gave them the information on our home and they made an offer that we could not refuse. They took all my calls and questions, and I had a lot. They answered every call the first time I called. They were knowledgeable and helpful and it was such a pleasure and a blessing that we had a great experience. All the other cash home buyers we had called, one low balled us and they were not straight forward. Also our home was very nice, it had a brand new roof and water heater and heater and the attic was freshly insulated. So your home does not need to be trash for you to sell to them.

Matthews Homeowners We Help

Matthews sellers come to us for very different reasons. You might own an older house near the historic downtown, a home in the Crestdale community, a rental in Mecklenburg County, or a house tied up in a divorce or an estate. The details shape the sale, and selling for cash in North Carolina goes more smoothly when the buyer starts from your situation instead of a script.

An Older House Near Historic Downtown Matthews

The ten buildings in the Matthews Commercial Historic District date from 1888 to 1939, and older houses in Matthews can carry old wiring, older plumbing or a roof near the end of its life. A retail buyer's inspector will flag each one and a lender may hold up financing until it is fixed. We price the work into the offer, so you fix nothing before selling.

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 occupied houses, and a valid lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, whether that is us or the partner named in the agreement, though it depends on the lease terms. A North Carolina attorney can confirm how that applies to yours.

Divorce or Separation

When a shared house needs to be sold quickly so two people can move on, a fast, private sale can matter more than squeezing out the last dollar with a listing. We can work with both owners on the same offer and let you set a closing date that fits the rest of the process. Neither of us gives legal advice; a family law attorney can confirm how the sale fits your settlement.

Inherited a House in Mecklenburg County

Who can sign the deed depends on how title was held and what the probate court has authorized, and a North Carolina probate attorney can confirm the route for your estate. We buy inherited houses with the contents still inside, so you keep what matters to the family and leave the rest. We can make an offer while the paperwork is sorted out and set the closing for after it is.

Related guide: How to Sell an Inherited House

Fire, Smoke or Water Damage

A kitchen fire, a leak inside a wall or a storm-damaged roof can leave a house that many lenders will not finance until it is repaired. We buy houses in that condition. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early, because how the claim and any payout are handled goes into the agreement before you sign.

Related guide: How to Sell a House As Is

Behind on the Mortgage

North Carolina foreclosures generally go through a court-supervised process, so the notices you receive carry real dates. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney can go through your options with you. A sale that closes before the sale date pays off the loan if the price covers what you owe; if it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less. Send us every notice early, because the dates on them decide whether a closing can fit.

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.

What the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs

Sellers in Matthews are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the North Carolina Excise Tax and repairs can all come out before you see a dollar. Here is how the three paths compare.

Cost or FactorEagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale)Traditional Listing (Agent)Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer)
Agent CommissionNone - $0Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $509,300 sale is about $25,500 to $30,600Usually none, though a service fee often applies
Repairs Before SaleNone - we buy as-isOften paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for moreOften deductions for repairs after the inspection
North Carolina Excise TaxCharged when the deed is recorded; customarily the seller's. Your share is paid from your proceeds, as set out in the purchase agreement and shown on your settlement statementThe same tax appliesThe same tax applies
Seller Closing CostsWe 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 contractA service fee set by each platform
Days to CloseMost close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the dateWeeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall throughSet by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas
Showings and InspectionsNo public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreementMultiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspectionUsually a company inspection, often with repair deductions
Financing Contingency RiskNo buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still applyBuyer financing can fall through weeks into the processLow risk, but platform rules apply
Condition RequiredWe buy as-is - no updates neededBuyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollarVaries - 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 Matthews, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.

A Real Call About a House

One homeowner asked her husband to make the first call, and he rang while he was out running errands, to ask what options might be available for her house. Our acquisition manager noticed the inquiry had come in under her name rather than his, and before discussing the property he asked whether she was able to take part herself. Once it was clear she simply wanted her husband to start the conversation, they scheduled a follow-up call for when she would be home. He explained that a first call is only for learning about the property and its condition, with no offer, no pressure and no paperwork.

We are not saying this was a North Carolina homeowner, 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 North Carolina 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.

1

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.

2

Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day

We look at the property, recent comparable sales in Matthews, 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 North Carolina page sets out what a listing costs.

3

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 North Carolina 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.

Matthews Housing Market - What the Numbers Say

Zillow's Home Value Index puts the typical Matthews home at $509,300 for August 2026, 0.2% above a year earlier. That is close to flat, and a citywide number tells you little about one house, least of all one that needs work.

$509,300
Typical Home Value (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026)
+0.2%
Year-Over-Year, Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026

A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole town, not the condition of any one house. An older house near downtown or a home that needs a new roof can sit well below that number, and a retail buyer's inspection can lead to repair requests or a lower price before closing.

Financing adds its own step. A buyer with an FHA or VA loan brings an appraiser who measures the house against that program's minimum property standards, and a failing roof or an outdated electrical panel can hold up the loan until the repair is made, usually at the seller's cost. A cash offer from us does not depend on a buyer's mortgage, so no lender's appraisal sits between you and closing. You see the price, the terms and the date in writing before you sign.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Matthews

These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 Matthews

Downtown Matthews

The Matthews Commercial Historic District covers 2.5 acres of North Trade and East Charles Streets and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, with 10 contributing buildings put up between 1888 and 1939, among them the Heath and Reid General Store (1888), the Funderburk Brothers complex (1890s), Renfrow Hardware (around 1900) and the U.S. Post Office (1939). Some houses on the nearby streets are also decades old, and an older house can need work a newer one does not; we buy them as they stand.

Historic Crestdale

Crestdale began as Tank Town, on land a local landowner began selling in parcels in 1878, with its first known residents recorded in 1880. It took the Crestdale name in 1963 and was annexed by the Town of Matthews in 1988, when residents gained access to Mecklenburg County water and sewer service for the first time. Houses there range from older homes to newer infill, so condition and value vary street by street; we look at each one on its own and price what we find.

Squirrel Lake Park Area

Squirrel Lake Park is a 36-acre town park at 1631 Pleasant Plains Road with a fishing pond, a disc golf course and a connection to the Four Mile Creek Greenway. Having a park and greenway nearby is a plus buyers notice, though it does not change what a house needs before it can sell on the open market.

Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org, achp.gov, matthewsheritagemuseum.org and matthewsnc.gov. Conditions vary from house to house.

Matthews and Mecklenburg County Seller Questions

Selling a Matthews House: Due Diligence, Attorneys, Timing and More

North Carolina attorney closings, the due diligence period, older downtown houses, inherited property and liens, answered in plain terms.

Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Matthews 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 North Carolina can confirm which disclosures apply.

Who handles the closing in North Carolina, and do I need my own attorney?

In North Carolina, preparing a deed and certifying title are legal work, so a licensed attorney is involved in almost every residential closing. The attorney runs the title search, pays off your loan and anything else owed from the proceeds when the price covers them, records the deed and sends you the balance. The closing attorney usually represents the buyer and lender, not you, so for an estate, a title problem or a foreclosure notice it is worth asking your own attorney.

What is North Carolina's due diligence period, and does it apply to a cash sale?

In a typical North Carolina sale, the buyer often pays the seller a negotiated due diligence fee for a window to inspect the property, and can walk away for almost any reason during it. We do most of our review before we make the offer, and our written agreement states whether there is any inspection or due diligence period, how long it lasts and whether any fee is paid, so you see those terms before you sign.

Can selling my Matthews 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 North Carolina, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the deed of trust after a hearing before the clerk of court. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the clerk of court and the trustee, 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 North Carolina can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our North Carolina page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

How do you work out a cash offer on a Matthews house?

We start from what the house would sell for once repaired, using recent sales of similar houses nearby. From that we take the cost of the work it needs, our costs to hold and resell it, and a margin so the business can keep going. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. It costs nothing, and you can turn it down.

Do you buy in every part of Matthews?

Yes. We look at houses with a Matthews address, from the older streets near downtown to Crestdale and the streets around Squirrel Lake Park. Where the house sits affects the price, and we review each property before we make an offer.

Can I sell my Matthews 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 Matthews?

It depends on how title was held and North Carolina 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 North Carolina 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 Matthews home is in a flood zone. Does that change anything?

It can affect what a lender will finance and what an insurer will charge, which is one more reason a retail sale on that kind of house can slow down or fall apart. We do not need flood insurance or a lender's sign-off to make an offer, though we will ask what you know about the property's flood history so it is priced correctly. A local floodplain administrator or FEMA's flood map can confirm a specific address.

Can you wait for me to buy my next home before I close?

Often, yes. Tell us the date you need to be out, and we set the closing to fit it, later than our usual 21 to 42 days if your next move needs that. We can also send the signed purchase agreement, which some sellers share with their agent or lender when planning the next purchase; whether they rely on it is up to them.

I am living out of the area. Do I have to come to Matthews to sell?

Tell us early where you will be. The closing attorney's office can explain the signing options for someone who is out of town, and we plan the closing date around them. You can take what you want and leave the rest behind, furniture included; the agreement will list anything you are leaving and anything you still plan to collect.

My Matthews house has fire or water damage. Will you still make an offer?

Yes. We price fire, smoke and water damage into the offer, so you do not need to repair or clear out damaged rooms first. If an insurance claim is open, mention it on the first call, because the agreement will need to say how the claim is handled.

Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Matthews?

Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Matthews or elsewhere in Mecklenburg County, we can make one offer for both. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.

How is selling to you different from selling to an iBuyer?

iBuyers tend to look for newer houses in good condition and usually take repair costs off the price after their own inspection. We also buy older and damaged houses, and the written offer shows what we will pay before you sign. The comparison table on this page sets both beside a traditional listing.

Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?

Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, North Carolina among them. We are BBB accredited and have 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. We either buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to a partner investor, and the agreement discloses those assignment rights before you sign.

Who pays closing costs when I sell my Matthews 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 Matthews: charged when the deed is recorded; customarily the seller's, 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.
