What People Say About Working With Us
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.
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!
Eagle Cash Buyers helped me to stop a foreclosure. My home was 2 days away from an auction. For a company who invests in buying homes for profit they helped my family keep mine. So grateful.
Experienced and trustworthy! It has been great to work with Oren from Eagle Cash Buyers.

Merced Homeowners We Help
Merced sellers come with very different houses and reasons. These are the situations we hear most often, and what we can usually do in each.
A House That Needs Repairs
An old roof, tired plumbing or a kitchen nobody has touched in years can make a regular listing slow and expensive. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, and you do not pay for repairs or clean-out. The offer reflects the condition, so a cash price is usually lower than a repaired-house sale on the open market.
An Inherited House
A house that came to you after a death can mean taxes, insurance and decisions with family, often while you live somewhere else. Whether a probate step comes first depends on how the title was held, and an attorney licensed in California can confirm it. We can look at the house and make an offer while that is being sorted out, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

A Rental With Tenants
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out before you talk to us. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for you depends on the lease terms, so we read the lease early. Tell us the rent, the end date and whether the tenant pays on time.

Behind on the Mortgage
If payments have fallen behind, time matters. A sale may help you avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds cover the payoff. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Bring every notice you have and we will tell you whether our timeline looks workable.
Back Taxes or a Lien
Unpaid property taxes or a recorded lien may still allow a sale. They can generally be paid from the proceeds at closing when there is enough equity and a payoff can be obtained. Tell us what you know early so the title search can check for anything else.

A Divorce or a House You Own Together
When a marriage ends, one house often has to be sold and the owners may not agree on a price or a date. We can send one written offer for the owners to review together, and nothing is binding until everyone signs a purchase agreement. You pick the closing date, and an attorney licensed in California can confirm who must sign.

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 Merced 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 $395,800 sale is about $19,800 to $23,700 | 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 Merced, 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 the administrator of an estate in which the local court acted as the executor. In an arrangement like that, the closing date may need to be given to the court in advance so the transaction can be recorded, and our team described coordinating with the estate's attorney. Procedures like this vary by jurisdiction, so confirm them locally with an attorney.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with a title or escrow company who coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing provider 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 Merced, 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 provider, 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.
Merced Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
The Zillow Home Value Index put the typical Merced home at $395,800 in August 2026, 1.0% lower than a year earlier. Source: https://www.zillow.com/research/data/.
That 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 will usually sell for less than the typical value, and a renovated one for more.
Listing with an agent usually means paying a commission, often between 5% and 6% of the sale price; it is negotiable and depends on the agent. As an illustration only, on a $395,800 sale that would be about $19,800 to $23,700, before repairs and carrying costs. Whether a listing makes sense depends on whether you have the time to wait for a sale and the money to put the house right first. Where you have both, list it with a good local agent, and we can usually tell you so. Where one of them is missing, a cash offer can be the better route.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Merced
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.

Merced Seller Questions
Tenants, Inherited Houses, Divorce and Back Taxes: Merced Answers
Closing costs, liens, probate, tenants, selling without an agent and what a cash offer really means, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Merced 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 Merced: 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.
How can I sell my Merced house faster?
A direct sale for cash is usually the quickest route, because it skips showings and a buyer's mortgage approval. You also skip the repairs, since a cash buyer takes the house as it is. With us, send the address and we send a written offer within one business day, if the numbers work. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.
Is selling my Merced house without a realtor a good idea?
It can be, when you do not need a showing schedule and want to skip the realtor commission, which is usually between 5% and 6% of the sale price. A sale directly to Eagle carries no agent commission, and at Eagle we pay the closing costs except your share of any transfer tax. Read the contract before you sign, and have an attorney licensed in California review it if you want a second opinion.
What should I not do before selling my house in Merced?
Do not spend a lot on repairs before you know what a buyer would pay. Do not stop paying your mortgage, because that can add fees and put the house at risk. And do not sign anything you have not read. With a cash sale you can skip the repairs, and you can ask us for a written offer first at no obligation.
Can I sell my Merced 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 Merced?
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.
Can I sell my Merced house during a divorce?
Often, yes, when the owners agree to sell. At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. Who must sign, and how the proceeds are divided, depends on your situation and the divorce papers, so ask an attorney licensed in California before you accept an offer.
Do you buy houses with tenants in Merced?
We can look at them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for the tenant depends on the lease terms. Send us the rent, the lease end date and any deposit held, and we will say whether the numbers work.
Do you buy mobile homes in Merced?
Yes, when the mobile home is sold together with the land it sits on. If you own both the home and the land, send us the address and we will take a look.
Can I choose my own closing date, and what if I need to leave things behind?
Yes, you pick the date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You can usually leave behind what you do not want to take, and tell us about it when you send the address so it is written into the offer.
Who handles the closing, and do I need a lawyer?
The closing is handled by a title or escrow company. They check the title, arrange the payoffs and prepare the settlement statement. You can have your own attorney review the agreement, and we encourage it. Eagle is not a law firm and cannot give legal advice.
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 I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Merced 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.
Can selling my Merced 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.
