What People Say About Working With Us
Alex was great at explaining things that I wasn't sure meant. And got me what I was asking for on my property.
I had a great experience and they are wonderful to work with. Very understanding with my goals.
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.
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.

Merritt Island Homeowners We Help
Merritt Island sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own a canal-side home that needs a new dock or seawall, some are handling a relative's house, and some have to move on a schedule that does not fit a listing.
A Canal or Waterfront Home That Needs Work
Docks, seawalls and boat lifts are costly to repair, and some buyers see them as a reason to pass on a listing. We buy houses as they are, so you do not have to price out the repairs, hire contractors or schedule showings before you sell.
An Older House With Deferred Updates
Plenty of Merritt Island houses date from the decades when the island grew alongside the space program. If yours still has the original kitchen, bathrooms or systems, you can sell it without updating anything first. We make our offer on the house as it stands.
Storm Damage or a Hard Insurance Claim
If a storm has left damage you do not want to repair, or you are waiting on an insurance claim, tell us what happened when you send the address. We can still make an offer, and the damage is part of how we figure it.

An Inherited House You Do Not Want to Keep
Taking care of a house from a distance is a lot of work. If you inherited a home on the island, we can talk through where the title stands and what a sale would need. A Florida title company or attorney confirms the paperwork.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to leave. We buy houses with tenants in them. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and how it is handled depends on the lease terms.

A Move on a Tight Schedule
A job change, a divorce or a move out of state can leave little time to fix up and list a house. You pick the closing date that works for you. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and we can go later if you need more time.
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 Merritt Island are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Florida Documentary Stamp 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 $430,600 sale is about $21,500 to $25,800 | 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 |
| Florida Documentary Stamp Tax | 70 cents per $100 of the price on the deed; the contract decides who pays. 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 Merritt Island, 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 caller was comparing cash offers and wanted to know how ours would be built. Our acquisition manager walked through it: start with the home's market value, subtract the repair work, subtract the buyer's costs to resell it, then subtract a margin so the business can operate. The caller planned to have a local agent check the math.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Florida 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 Merritt Island, 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 Florida 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 Florida Documentary Stamp 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.
Merritt Island Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Merritt Island home at $430,600 in August 2026, 0.5% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across Merritt Island as a whole, not the condition of any one house. A canal-front home, a dated ranch and a house with storm damage can each sit far from that number, so use it as background and not as a promise of what yours will sell for.
A cash offer is built differently from a listing price. It starts from what the house is worth in good condition, then accounts for repairs and the costs of reselling it. In return you skip repairs, showings and waiting on a buyer's financing.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Merritt Island
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 Merritt Island
Central Merritt Island
Wikipedia describes the central part of the island, formerly Merritt City, as the area with most of the residents, a high school, the library and the shopping district. For a seller, a house here sits close to everyday services, which is something buyers often weigh when they compare homes.
South Merritt Island
The southern part of the island is mainly residential, with some light commercial and light industrial zones, according to Wikipedia. Homes here sit in a setting that is largely residential, so a seller can expect a buyer to compare the house with others nearby. Tell us the address and we make the offer on that house.
Sykes Creek and Newfound Harbor
Wikipedia notes that the east side of Merritt Island is divided by Sykes Creek and Newfound Harbor. Houses on this side can sit on or near the water. If you own one, a dock or seawall may need work, and we can buy the property as it is rather than waiting for repairs.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Merritt Island and Brevard County Seller Questions
Before You Sell on Merritt Island: Questions We Hear From Owners
Canal homes, older houses, tenants, moving on a schedule, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Merritt Island 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 Merritt Island: 70 cents per $100 of the price on the deed; the contract decides who pays.
How do you calculate the cash offer for my Merritt Island home?
We start with what the house is worth in good condition, then subtract the repair work it needs, the costs of reselling it, and a margin so the business can operate. We send the offer in writing within one business day, and you are welcome to compare it with other offers or have an agent check the math.
Do you buy waterfront or canal-front homes on Merritt Island as-is?
Yes, in many cases. You do not need to fix a dock, seawall or boat lift before you sell. Tell us about the property when you send the address, and the condition is part of how we figure the offer.
Can selling my Merritt Island 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 Florida, 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 usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Florida can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Florida page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Merritt Island?
It depends on how title was held and Florida 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 Florida 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 Merritt Island 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 still have to make disclosures if I sell my Merritt Island 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 Florida 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.
Do you buy mobile homes on Merritt Island?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you own the land, send us the address and tell us about the home.
I work at Kennedy Space Center or for a Cape Canaveral contractor. Can you close on my schedule?
You pick the closing date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time, which can suit a job change or a move that does not line up with a listing.
Who handles the closing in Florida, and do I need an attorney?
A Florida title company or closing attorney handles the closing. It runs the title search, holds the funds and prepares the documents. We can explain what we need from you, and a Florida attorney or your title company confirms the legal details.
Will you make an offer if my house has not been updated in decades or has storm damage?
Yes. We make offers on houses in a range of conditions, including older homes that have not been updated and homes with damage. We also buy houses with tenants in place. Tell us what you know when you send the address.
Is 2026 a good time to sell a house in Florida?
It depends on your house and your timing. Zillow's index shows Merritt Island home values up 0.5% from a year earlier as of August 2026, but a single number does not tell you how your own house will sell. Mortgage rates affect buyers' financing, so if you want to skip the listing process, the showings and the wait on a buyer's approval, a cash sale is one option to compare.
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.
