What People Say About Working With Us
I have an excellent experience! Very streamlined and simple. A great pleasure!
Oren and the Eagle Cash Buyers team were extremely efficient throughout the entire sales process. Oren answered my calls day and night unlike other people that I have worked with before. He was very attentive to all my concerns and completely put my mind at ease. I am really looking forward to working with him again and highly recommend Oren plus his team.
Cannot recommend Mr. Oren and his team enough if you have a property or home that you are looking to sell fast. The professionalism and transparency they show is not comparable to other cash home buyers. From the point of initial contact all the way to closing day, the team at Eagle Cash Buyers kept their word with consistent updates throughout the process. Thank you for the integrity you have shown during this time of distress. Highly recommended.
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.

Maywood Homeowners We Help
Maywood was planned as a village in the 1860s, so a lot of its houses are old, and each sale starts somewhere different. One owner has a Queen Anne with a settling porch. Another has a two-flat with a tenant upstairs, or a house the village has to inspect before it can change hands. Selling for cash in Illinois goes more smoothly when the buyer starts from your details instead of a script.
An Older House With a Long List of Repairs
Maywood's development began in the late 1860s, and the village has 17 properties on the National Register of Historic Places, including the 1894 Queen Anne house built for Harry H. Nichols. Houses of that age often have older wiring, older plumbing or a porch that has shifted, and a retail buyer's inspector will list what they find. We price the work into our offer and take it on ourselves, so the repairs stay off your to-do list.
A Village Inspection Before the Sale
Maywood's village code asks for a certificate of compliance before a sale, based on a village inspection, and the village generally will not stamp the deed until it is in hand or a conditional one is issued. If the inspection turns up work, the code allows a sale to go ahead with a conditional certificate: the buyer agrees with the village to bring the house into compliance within 90 days after closing, and the seller signs that agreement too. The water account has to be settled too. Tell us about any notices you have received, and your closing attorney or closing agent can confirm the steps.
A Two-Flat or Rental With Tenants
Some older Maywood buildings are two-flats, like the 1905 Albert Soffel House, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move first. We buy occupied properties, and the leases pass to the buyer at closing: us, or the partner we assign the contract to, as the agreement discloses.

Inherited a House in Cook County
When the owner held title alone, with no trust, a Cook County probate case may be needed before anyone can sign a deed. A house held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture and all, and an Illinois probate attorney can confirm which route applies to you.

Behind on the Mortgage
In Illinois a lender has to go through the courts to foreclose, and the timeline depends on the case. A sale that closes before the court-ordered foreclosure sale can pay off the loan if the price covers what is owed, and any equity left comes to you; if it does not, the lender has to agree to take less. Deadlines depend on the case, so a housing counselor or an Illinois attorney should confirm yours. Call early, because the sooner we see the paperwork the more room there is to fit a closing date around it.
Already Moved Away From Maywood
If work or family has taken you to another city, you do not need to fly back to sell. Illinois closings run through a licensed closing agent, who can usually arrange a mobile notary or a mailed signing package. Your proceeds are wired to you after closing, on the schedule your closing agent sets out in advance.

Get My Cash OfferWhat the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs
Sellers in Maywood are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Illinois 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, 5% on a $300,000 sale is $15,000 | 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 |
| Illinois Transfer Tax | The Village of Maywood adds its own transfer tax of $4 per $1,000 of value, which the village code puts on the seller unless the contract says otherwise; Cook County adds $0.50 per $1,000 (Illinois Department of Revenue) and Illinois charges its own $1.00 per $1,000, and the purchase agreement sets out who pays each (codelibrary.amlegal.com, 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, back taxes and any other debts against the property are paid from your proceeds, as in any sale | 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 Maywood, 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 homeowner had sent us an inquiry, and her husband called first to find out what options were out there. Our acquisition manager noticed the inquiry was in her name and asked whether she could take part, because we talk to the owner before anything moves forward, so a three-way call was set up for when he was home. The acquisition manager described that first call as a basic one, for finding out a little more about the property and the condition it was in.
We are not saying this was an Illinois 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 Illinois 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 Maywood, 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 Illinois 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 Illinois 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.
How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Maywood
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 Maywood
Downtown Maywood
The village's downtown centers on the Fifth Avenue and Lake Street business corridors near the Maywood Metra stop on the Union Pacific West Line. The village adopted an updated downtown transit-oriented development plan in May 2020, replacing one from 2004. A house in or near downtown is an ordinary sale to us, and the offer rests on that house's condition and recent nearby sales.
Maywood's Historic Houses
Maywood began as a planned community in the late 1860s, and 17 of its properties are on the National Register of Historic Places. They include the 1894 Queen Anne house built for Harry H. Nichols, later the village postmaster and a son of its founder and the 1905 Albert Soffel House, a foursquare two-flat. A house of that age is priced on its own condition and the work it needs, so we look at each one individually.

Illinois and Cook County Seller Questions
Questions Maywood Owners Have About a Cash Sale, Answered Plainly
The village inspection, disclosures on an as-is sale, Cook County back taxes, inherited houses and two-flats with tenants, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Maywood 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. Illinois has the Residential Real Property Disclosure Act, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Illinois can confirm which disclosures apply.
Does Maywood require a village inspection before I can sell?
According to the Village of Maywood's code, yes: a certificate of compliance is required before a sale, based on a village inspection, and the village generally will not stamp the deed for its transfer tax until that certificate, or a conditional one, is in hand and the water account is settled. If the inspection finds violations, the code allows a sale with a conditional certificate, under which the buyer agrees with the village to fix them within 90 days after closing. We ask about any notices when you send the address. Your closing attorney or closing agent confirms the exact steps for your house.
Who handles the closing in Illinois, and do I need an attorney?
Illinois closings run through a licensed closing agent, often a real estate attorney or a title company, who checks title, pays off your loan and other required items from the proceeds when the price covers them, and records the deed in Cook County. You pick your own attorney if you want one, and many sellers do. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days. You pick the date, and if you need longer, we can usually work around it.
Can selling my Maywood 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 Illinois, 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 tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Illinois can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Illinois page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Maywood house?
We start from what the house would sell for once repaired, based on recent sales of similar homes nearby, then take off the cost of the work it needs and our costs to hold and resell it. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. It costs nothing to ask. You are under no obligation to take it.
Should I list my Maywood house or sell it to you?
If the house is updated, in good repair and you are not up against a deadline, listing it may net you more. Ask a local agent what it would realistically sell for, take off the commission and any repairs, and put that figure next to our written offer. We make the most sense for houses that need work, estates, occupied buildings and sales with a fixed date. Pick whichever puts more in your pocket.
Do you buy in every part of Maywood?
Yes. We buy across the village, from downtown near the Metra station to the older residential streets, in the 60153 ZIP code. We also buy in nearby villages such as Bellwood, Melrose Park, Forest Park, River Forest and Broadview. Where the house sits affects the price, not whether we make an offer.
Can I sell my Maywood 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 Maywood?
It depends on how title was held and Illinois 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 Illinois 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.
I live outside Illinois. Do I have to be in Maywood to close?
Usually not. Your closing agent can usually mail the signing package or arrange a mobile notary where you live, and the money is wired to you after closing, on the schedule the closing agent sets out.
Do you buy vacant houses in Maywood?
Yes. We buy vacant houses as they stand, with or without furniture left inside. When you send the address, tell us how long it has been empty, whether the utilities are on and whether the village has sent any notices, so we can plan for them early.
Do you buy two-flats and houses with tenants in Maywood?
Yes. We buy occupied properties without asking anyone to move out first. The leases pass to the buyer at closing, and the tenants keep the rights their leases give them. Send us a copy of the lease when you send the address.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Maywood?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Maywood or elsewhere in Cook County, we can make an offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Illinois among them. We are BBB accredited and hold 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.
How much money will I actually walk away with?
The offer price, less your loan payoff, any back taxes or other debts on the property, and your share of prorated property taxes and any transfer tax that falls to you. You pay no agent commission, and we pay the closing costs, apart from your share of any transfer tax. Your closing agent prepares a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Maywood 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 Maywood: The Village of Maywood adds its own transfer tax of $4 per $1,000 of value, which the village code puts on the seller unless the contract says otherwise; Cook County adds $0.50 per $1,000 (Illinois Department of Revenue) and Illinois charges its own $1.00 per $1,000, and the purchase agreement sets out who pays each (codelibrary.amlegal.com, checked September 2026).
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.
