What People Say About Working With Us
Wonderful to work with and stayed in contact at all stages through the process. Thank you again for everything.
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.
I received the utmost help from Ms. Kelly with my home. She really went out of her way to help me. I can say she is truly an angel. There are still honest and trustworthy people on this earth.
Quick and efficient! I highly recommend!

Montgomery Homeowners We Help
Montgomery sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own a house near the river that has been in the family for years, others a subdivision home they need to move quickly. These are the situations we hear about most.
A House That Needs Work
Worn kitchens, an aging roof, old windows or a furnace on its last legs: you do not have to fix any of it first. We buy houses in the condition they are in, and the offer reflects that condition. Send the address and a few photos, and tell us what you know about the house's age and any updates.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not need to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy houses with tenants in them. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for the tenant depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and the rent details when you call.

Fire, Water or Storm Damage
A house that has had a fire, a burst pipe or storm damage can be hard to sell the usual way, because most buyers using a mortgage want a home they can move into. We can make an offer on a damaged house as it stands. If an insurance claim is open, your carrier or adjuster is the right person to ask about it.

An Inherited House
Inheriting a house in Montgomery often means a property nobody plans to live in, with taxes and upkeep to cover. We can look at the house and make an offer while the estate is sorted out, but nobody can sign a deed until someone has legal authority to do so. An Illinois probate or estate attorney can confirm who that is.

A Sale Tied to a Divorce or a Move
When two owners have to agree, or a job or family move sets a deadline, a listing with showings and repairs can feel like too much. A written offer with a closing date you choose can make the plan simpler. Both owners generally need to sign, so it helps to have everyone on the call or copied on the email.

Behind on Payments or Property Tax
If you have fallen behind on the mortgage or on property tax, tell us early. Whether a sale works depends on how the price compares with what is owed, and the title work will show what has to be paid at closing. If you have received foreclosure papers, talk to an Illinois attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor as well.
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 Montgomery 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 $332,900 sale is $16,645 | 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 | State rate $1.00 per $1,000; counties and some 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, 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 Montgomery, 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
One homeowner who contacted us had a house damaged by fire that the insurer had called a total loss. They had asked for a demolition bid and wanted a cash offer to set beside it. Our acquisition manager explained that the number he gave was a preliminary range rather than a firm offer, and when they said they were not ready to commit, he told them to call back whenever they wanted to move forward.
We are not saying this was an Illinois 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 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 Montgomery, 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.
Montgomery Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Montgomery home at $332,900 in August 2026, 3.4% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure describes mid-priced homes across the whole village, not the condition or location of any one house. A house that needs a new roof or has fire damage will not be priced the way the typical home is.
Selling on the open market usually means repairs, showings and a buyer whose financing has to be approved. A cash sale trades some of that price for fewer moving parts. Our written offer takes the condition of your house into account.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Montgomery
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 Montgomery
Fox River and River Street
Montgomery grew up along the Fox River. The village's history page says founder Daniel S. Gray had much of his land on the west side of the Fox River platted in 1853, and Village Hall stands on North River Street with the Settler's Cottage Museum in front of it, an 1840s home the village calls the oldest remaining structure in Montgomery. Whichever side of the river your house is on, we start from the address and a few photos.
Lakewood Creek, Seasons Ridge and Other Subdivisions
Montgomery's population rose from 5,471 in the 2000 census to 20,262 in 2020, and the village's parks page lists parks in subdivisions such as Lakewood Creek, Huntington Chase, Foxmoor, Fairfield Way, Seasons Ridge and Marquis Pointe. If your subdivision has a homeowners association, mention it when you call so dues and any association paperwork are part of the conversation from the start.
Boulder Hill
Boulder Hill is an unincorporated area of Kendall County in Oswego Township, and Wikipedia notes that many of its addresses use Montgomery as the mailing city even though it is a separate place from the village. If your address says Montgomery, check whether the house is inside the village or in unincorporated Kendall County, because that decides which office handles permits and zoning questions. We buy in either case.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including montgomeryil.org and en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Montgomery, Kane County and Kendall County Seller Questions
Two Counties, One Village: Answers for Montgomery Sellers
Two counties, subdivisions and older houses, fire damage, tenants, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Montgomery 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 Montgomery: state rate $1.00 per $1,000; counties and some cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.
Montgomery is in both Kane County and Kendall County. Does that change how I sell?
The village spans both counties, so the county that holds the deed and property tax records for your house depends on where it sits. Your property tax bill or the county's online records will show which one it is. Send the address and we will confirm it and use a title company that handles that county.
How does a cash offer on my Montgomery house work?
You send the address and a few details about the house. We come back with a written offer within one business day. If you accept, a title company or closing agent handles the paperwork, and you choose the closing date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.
Do I need to make repairs before I sell?
No. We buy houses in the condition they are in, from dated kitchens to roof and structural problems. The offer takes the condition into account, so it will differ from what a fully updated house would bring. You are free to compare it with a listing, and there is no charge to ask.
Can you buy a Montgomery house that was damaged by fire or water?
Yes, we can make an offer on a house with fire, water or storm damage without repairs first. Some owners weigh a cash offer against the cost of demolition or rebuilding, and you are welcome to take your time doing that. Ask your insurance carrier or adjuster about your claim and policy.
Can you buy my Montgomery rental with a tenant in it?
Yes. You do not have to end the lease or ask the tenant to leave before selling. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for the tenant depends on the lease terms. Send us the lease and the monthly rent when you ask for an offer.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Montgomery?
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 both the home and the lot, send the address and tell us the age of the home and whether it is permanently attached to the land.
Can I sell my Montgomery 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 Montgomery?
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.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Montgomery 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.
Can selling my Montgomery 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.
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.
Can I sell if my divorce is not finished?
It depends on the court orders and on who holds title. Both owners generally need to agree and sign, and a court order or settlement may control the sale. Your divorce attorney can tell you what is allowed. We can give you a written offer to review with them, and you decide the closing date.
Will I owe a real estate agent commission?
Not to us. Eagle Cash Buyers is the buyer, not your agent, so no listing commission comes out of an offer we make. If you already have a listing agreement, read it or ask your agent before you sign anything with us, because it may have terms about a sale.
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.
