What People Say About Working With Us
My husband and I called Eagle Cash Buyers because our house was on the market for almost a year with no bites. We had moved out of our home and to a different state. We called them, it was very simple. We gave them the information on our home and they made an offer that we could not refuse. They took all my calls and questions, and I had a lot. They answered every call the first time I called. They were knowledgeable and helpful and it was such a pleasure and a blessing that we had a great experience. All the other cash home buyers we had called, one low balled us and they were not straight forward. Also our home was very nice, it had a brand new roof and water heater and heater and the attic was freshly insulated. So your home does not need to be trash for you to sell to them.
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 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.
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would recommend.

Newark Homeowners We Help
Newark sellers come with different houses and different reasons. Some own an older home near downtown that needs work, some are handling an inherited house, and some just want a date they can plan around.
An Older House That Needs Work
Many Newark houses are decades old. If yours has an old roof, dated wiring or plumbing, or a kitchen nobody has touched in decades, you can sell it as it stands. We price the offer around the condition, so there is no list of repairs to finish before you sell.
An Inherited House
A house passed down in the family can be a lot to handle from a distance. If the estate is still going through probate, tell us where things stand. The court and your attorney set the timing, and we can work around it. See the Ohio page for the general steps.

Back Taxes or a Lien on the Property
A balance owed on the house does not always stop a sale. Back taxes and many other debts can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, if the proceeds cover them, so you may not need to clear them first. Your settlement statement shows the exact amounts before closing.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
If you own a rental and are done with it, you can tell us about the tenants and the lease. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means depends on the lease terms. Share a copy and we will go over it with you.

A Move With a Deadline
A new job, a new house or a downsizing plan can leave you with a date to hit. Tell us the date you need and we will see whether it fits. Most closings take 21 to 42 days, and you pick the closing date within what the process allows.
A House You Would Rather Not Show
Listing with an agent usually means cleaning, staging and showings on someone else's schedule. A cash sale to us skips the open houses. We look at the house, make our offer, and you decide whether it is worth it.
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 Newark are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Ohio Conveyance Fee 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 $248,700 sale is about $12,400 to $14,900 | 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 |
| Ohio Conveyance Fee | State fee of $1.00 per $1,000, plus a county fee of up to $3.00 per $1,000. 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 Newark, 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 had back taxes on the house and a move to make, with a closing date to hit. He had also been offered a higher price by someone else, and he chose our offer anyway because, as he put it, he was getting what he needed out of the house. We explained that in his situation the title company could pay the back taxes from the proceeds at closing, usually without the seller paying the balance first.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Ohio 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 Newark, 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 Ohio 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 Ohio Conveyance Fee 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.
Newark Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Newark home at $248,700 in August 2026, 3.4% higher than a year earlier.
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 dated systems will usually draw offers that account for the work, whichever way you sell.
If your house is in good shape and you are not in a hurry, listing it may bring a higher price. If you value a set date and no repairs, a cash offer from us is worth comparing. Ask for it and decide.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Newark
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.

Newark and Licking County Seller Questions
Newark Homeowners: What to Ask Before Taking a Cash Offer
Closing costs, older houses, tenants, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Newark 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 Newark: state fee of $1.00 per $1,000, plus a county fee of up to $3.00 per $1,000, subject to the purchase agreement.
Can I sell my Newark 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 Newark?
It depends on how title was held and Ohio 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 Ohio 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 Newark 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. Ohio sellers commonly complete a Residential Property Disclosure Form, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Ohio 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.
Can selling my Newark 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 Ohio, 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 Ohio can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Ohio page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy mobile homes in Newark?
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 home and the land together, send us the address and we will take a look.
How fast can I sell my Newark house for cash?
You get a written cash offer within one business day of sending the details. Closing still waits on the title work, so most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.
Do I have to fix anything before selling?
No. We buy houses in the condition they are in, so you can skip the repairs and the cleaning-out stress. The offer reflects the condition. Whatever you decide to leave in the house, tell us at the start.
Is a cash offer lower than a listing price?
It can be. A listing might bring a higher price, but it often means repairs, showings and waiting on a buyer's financing. A cash offer trades some price for a set date and less hassle. Compare both before you decide.
Do you buy houses in downtown Newark and the older neighborhoods?
Yes, we look at houses across Newark, from older homes near Courthouse Square to newer ones on the edges of town. We do not buy every property, and mobile homes qualify only with the land.
What if I am still living in the house?
That is fine. Tell us when you need to be out and we will work toward a closing date that fits. Most closings take 21 to 42 days, and a later date can be arranged if you need more time.
What if my tenants are still in the house?
You can sell with tenants in place. Send us a copy of the lease and tell us the move-out dates, if any, and we will go over what applies to your sale.
Do I need a real estate agent to sell to you?
No. You deal with us directly, and you do not pay an agent commission when you sell to us. Ask us for the offer, then compare it with a listing, using the 5% to 6% commission range as a guide to what an agent sale would cost.
