What People Say About Working With Us
Alex Anthony was incredible, responsive, no hidden scams and straightforward. Didn't make any promises until REAL numbers were established, which is extremely respectable. Not only was he efficient, he was fast too. He understood our situation with great empathy and was very personable and patient. If I ever find myself in a similar situation, Alex will be my first call.
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 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.
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!

Millbrae Homeowners We Help
Millbrae sellers come to us for different reasons. Some inherited a house on the Peninsula, some own a rental, some have a house that needs more work than they want to take on. Here are the situations we hear most.
A House That Needs Work
Old systems, a leaking roof, fire or water damage, or years of deferred repairs can make a traditional listing slow and expensive. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, so you do not need to repair, clean out or stage anything. The offer usually reflects the condition, and whether we can make one depends on the numbers.
An Inherited House
A Millbrae house that came through an estate can sit empty while family members decide what to do. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while the paperwork is being sorted out, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign. A probate or estate attorney licensed in California can confirm who that is.

A Rental With Tenants
If you own a rental and want out, you do not have to wait for a lease to end. We buy houses with tenants in place. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what happens next depends on the lease terms, so we ask for a copy early.

Behind on the Mortgage
If you have missed payments or received a notice, time matters. A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time, and we can usually tell you whether our timeline looks workable once we see your notices. Contact us as early as you can.
Unpermitted Work or an ADU
Many buyers and lenders get nervous about additions or conversions without permits. We look at the house as it stands and factor what we find into the offer. Tell us what you know about past work so we can evaluate it accurately, and ask your own attorney what applies to you.
Moving on a Deadline
A job move, a divorce or a new home purchase can leave a short window. A cash sale has no buyer mortgage to wait for. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.
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 Millbrae 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 $2,047,900 sale is about $102,400 to $122,900 | 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 Millbrae, 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 couple contacted us after a fire left their house uninhabitable. They already had a demolition bid and wanted to compare it with a cash offer before deciding. Our acquisition manager explained that the first number was a range and not a firm offer, and that a representative would confirm the condition of the house. They were not ready to commit, and our acquisition manager told them to call back if they chose to move forward.
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 that coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the title or escrow company 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 Millbrae, 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 with the title or escrow company, which 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.
Millbrae Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
The Zillow Home Value Index put the typical Millbrae home at $2,047,900 in August 2026, 7.0% higher 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 work usually sells for less than that figure, and a cash offer is usually lower than the price a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling.
If your house is in good shape and you have both the time to wait and the money to prepare it, listing with a good local agent may bring a higher price, and we can usually say so. If one of those is missing, a cash sale may fit better.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Millbrae
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.

Millbrae and San Mateo County Seller Questions
Selling in Millbrae: Questions Owners Ask First
Closing, liens, probate, disclosure, tenants and condition, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Millbrae 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 Millbrae: 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 fast can I sell my Millbrae house for cash?
We can usually send a written cash offer within one business day after we have the address and basic details. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on title, liens, mortgage payoffs and the title or escrow company handling the closing.
Can I sell my Millbrae 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 Millbrae?
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 Millbrae 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.
Do you buy houses with unpermitted additions or an ADU in Millbrae?
We can often evaluate them. Unpermitted work can affect what a buyer can finance and insure, so we factor it into the offer rather than treating it as an automatic no. Tell us what was built and when, if you know, and a California real estate attorney can explain what applies to your sale.
Will you buy my Millbrae house if I have tenants?
Yes, we buy houses with tenants in place. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and how it is handled depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy of the lease and the rent details when you ask for an offer.
Do you buy mobile homes in Millbrae?
Yes, when the mobile home is sold together with the land it sits on.
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.
Who handles the closing for a Millbrae sale?
A title or escrow company handles it. It runs the title search, holds the funds, arranges the payoffs and prepares the settlement statement. You can sign in person or remotely.
Is a cash offer lower than listing my Millbrae house?
Usually, yes. A cash offer is usually lower than the price a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling. In return you skip the repairs, the showings and the wait. If your house is in good shape and you have time, listing may net you more, and we can usually say so.
What do you need from me to make an offer?
The address, a short description of the house and its condition, and who is on the deed. 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.
Can selling my Millbrae 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. 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. 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.
