What People Say About Working With Us
Eagle Cash Buyers were the best company that I have worked with. The process took about 6 weeks and was closed. Everything was upfront and I was told what was being done every step of the way. This company is highly recommended.
We sold our home to Eagle Cash Buyers. We needed to sell to an investor because we could not afford the cost of repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers stuck to the agreed on price even after finding more damage with the house than originally discussed. Oren communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Eagle Cash Buyers for buying our house and helping us move on with our life.
I have an excellent experience! Very streamlined and simple. A great pleasure!
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would recommend.

Morton Homeowners We Help
Morton sellers come with different houses and different reasons. Some own a house that needs updating, some are landlords, and some are handling a move or an estate. These are the situations we see most.
A House That Needs Work
Older houses in any town can carry original roofs, wiring, plumbing or a furnace near the end of its life. You do not have to fix any of it before selling to us. We look at the house as it stands, and the repairs it needs are part of how we price it. Repairs are not something you pay for up front.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask a tenant to leave before you sell. We can buy a house with tenants living in it. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though exactly how depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it with you.

An Inherited House
Inheriting a house in Morton from a parent or relative can mean a property nobody wants to keep up, plus questions about who signs. Tell us where things stand and we will explain what we need to move forward. Whether court steps are involved depends on the estate, so the answer below points you to an attorney.

A Move Across Town or Out of the Area
A job change, a new home elsewhere in the Peoria area or a move to be near family can leave you managing two houses at once, or a house you cannot easily show from a distance. You can start with the address and talk with our team by phone. Signing details are arranged with the title company handling your closing, and you pick the date.
Behind on the Mortgage
If payments have fallen behind, timing matters. A cash sale can be one option to consider, but whether it works depends on your loan balance, the sale price and where the process stands. The foreclosure answer below has the general picture, and a housing counselor or attorney can advise on your own situation.
Fire, Water or Storm Damage
A burst pipe, a kitchen fire or a damaged roof can leave a house that is hard to list and harder to finance. We buy houses in this condition. Tell us what happened and share any photos or repair estimates you have; the damage is one of the things we weigh in the offer.
Related guide: How to Sell a House As Is
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 Morton 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 $292,400 sale is $14,620 | 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 Morton, 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 sent in the inquiry in her own name, but her husband was the one who phoned. Our acquisition manager noticed the mismatch and asked whether she was unable to take part. He explained it was her house and she had asked him to make first contact. Because the owner takes part before anything moves forward, a three-way call was set up for once he was back home with her.
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 Morton, 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.
Morton Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Morton home at $292,400 in August 2026, 6.5% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole village, not the condition of any one house. Yours may be worth more or less depending on its size, updates and repair needs, which is why we look at the specific property.
A traditional sale can involve a buyer who needs a mortgage, an appraisal and repair requests. A cash sale to us removes the financing step. It also means our offer will not match what a fully updated house might bring on the open market, and we say so plainly.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Morton
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.
Where We Buy Houses in Morton and Tazewell County
We buy houses in Morton and across Tazewell County, and in nearby East Peoria, Washington and Pekin. Morton sits close to the Peoria area; the areas below come from the village's own comprehensive plan.
Neighborhoods and areas in Morton
Downtown Morton
The Village of Morton's comprehensive plan, revised effective January 1, 2019, treats downtown as a focus for retail and residential reinvestment. It reports the completion of a downtown Memorial Plaza with a veterans memorial, seating and a playground, and lists a study of mixed-use development and housing in the district. If your house is near downtown, those plans give context but no promise about value; our offer is based on the house itself.
Thornridge
The Village of Morton's comprehensive plan (revised effective January 1, 2019) reports that the village trail was extended through Westwood Park, parallel to Veterans Road, north to the Thornridge subdivision. For a seller there, nearby trail and park access is a detail worth mentioning when you describe the house; our offer is still based on the house itself.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including morton-il.gov. Conditions vary from house to house.

Morton and Tazewell County Seller Questions
Questions to Settle Before You Sell in Morton, Illinois
Timing, repairs, tenants, mobile homes, liens, probate and closing costs, answered briefly.
How fast can you close on a Morton house?
We send a written offer within one business day of getting your details. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and the seller picks the date, so we can close later if you need more time. Timing depends on the title work and on how ready the paperwork is.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before you buy it?
No. We buy houses as they are, including ones that need repairs and ones with belongings still inside. Condition is part of how we price the house, so tell us about the roof, systems and anything else you know about.
Do you buy mobile homes in Morton?
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 are unsure which describes your situation, send us the address and we will tell you.
Can you buy a house that has tenants living in it?
Yes. You do not have to end the lease or ask anyone to move first. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though the specifics depend on the lease terms, so send us a copy.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Morton?
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.
Can selling my Morton 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.
Can I sell my Morton 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 Morton 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.
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 pays closing costs when I sell my Morton 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 Morton: state rate $1.00 per $1,000; counties and some cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.
Who handles the closing in Illinois?
In Illinois a title company usually runs the title search, holds the funds and records the deed, and many sellers also use a real estate attorney to review the contract and closing documents. Ask whoever handles your closing what you will need to sign and bring.
How is the offer for my Morton house worked out?
We look at the house's condition, its location and what similar houses have sold for, then subtract what a buyer needs to spend to repair and resell it. You get the offer in writing, and you are free to compare it with a listing or another buyer.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers, and how do I know this is legitimate?
Eagle Cash Buyers buys houses in 43 states, and Oren Sofrin is our founder and CEO. We are BBB accredited and have 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, which come from sellers in different places. Read the agreement before signing, and ask a lawyer to review it if you want to.
