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.
Allan was very helpful and the process was fast and easy. I highly recommend.
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!

Newton Homeowners We Help
Newton is thirteen villages rather than one downtown, and prices and house types change from one village to the next. One owner has a two-family near Nonantum with tenants on both floors, another a house that has not been updated in decades, a third a parent's home to settle from another state. Here is how we handle the situations we hear most when you are selling for cash in Massachusetts.
A Two-Family With Tenants
The Newton Historical Commission notes that two-unit houses are a common building type in Newton's old mill villages, Nonantum and Upper Falls among them. Selling one means selling both units at once, often with people living in them. You do not have to wait for leases to end or ask anyone to move. Leases and your tenants' rights generally pass to the buyer at closing (us, or the partner named in the agreement), and the closing attorney accounts for any security deposit and last month's rent you are holding.

An Older House That Needs Real Work
A roof near the end of its life, a heating system that has been patched more than once, wiring nobody has opened up since the last renovation. A buyer with a mortgage usually sends an inspector and may face an appraiser flagging the same items. We build the cost of the work into our offer, so you hire no contractors and fix nothing before you sell.
Built Before 1978
A house built before 1978 can have lead paint under the newer coats. Federal law requires a lead-based paint disclosure on these sales, and Massachusetts adds its own Property Transfer Lead Paint Notification. Your closing attorney can tell you which notices your sale needs. We do not ask you to delead or repaint, and we make the offer on the house as it stands.
Inherited a House in Middlesex County
When a parent held the house in their name alone, the estate often has to go through the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court before anyone can sign a deed, while a house held in a trust may not. We can make an offer while that is being sorted out, and we buy the house with the furniture still inside. An estate attorney can confirm which route your family needs.

One Condo Unit in a Trust or Association
A condominium sale in Massachusetts calls for a 6(d) certificate from the condominium trust or association, which shows whether fees or special assessments are unpaid on the unit. Your closing attorney will ask for it, so it saves time to request it as soon as you accept an offer. We buy units in any condition, from a dated kitchen to a bathroom that needs gutting.
Behind on the Mortgage
Most Massachusetts foreclosures run under a power of sale written into the mortgage rather than through a full court case, so the auction can arrive sooner than owners expect. A sale that closes before the auction can pay off the loan if the price covers what is owed, and anything left after other liens and closing items comes to you; if it does not, the lender has to agree in writing to take less. A HUD-approved counselor or a Massachusetts attorney can go through your options. Call early and bring every notice you have.
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 Newton are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Massachusetts Deeds Excise 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 $1,509,100 sale is about $75,500 to $90,500 | 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 |
| Massachusetts Deeds Excise | $2.28 per $500 of the price, about $4.56 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 Newton, 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 caller was phoning several cash buyers to see who would pay the most, and already held one offer. When our acquisition manager gave ours, the caller pushed back, so he showed the math on the call: what the house would sell for once repaired, less the repair work, less what it costs us to resell it, less a margin for the company. The caller also planned to have a real estate agent they knew check those numbers, which is a sound way for anyone to compare offers.
We are not saying this was a Massachusetts homeowner. We do not attach a case to a state it did not come from, 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 Massachusetts attorneys and title companies who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing attorney or title 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 Newton, 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 Massachusetts page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the closing attorney or title company, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Massachusetts Deeds Excise 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.
Newton Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Newton home at $1,509,100 in August 2026, 2.3% higher than a year earlier. That figure is a citywide typical value across many kinds of homes. It shows where prices sit, not what one particular house is worth, least of all one that needs work.
At this price level, a few percent is a large sum, and buyers know it. A house that needs a roof, new wiring or a heating system can lose ground to a renovated one down the street, and once the inspection report comes back the requests for credits follow.
If your house is in good shape and you can live through weeks of showings, listing it with a good agent may net you more than any cash offer, ours included. Our offer makes the most sense when the house needs work, has tenants, belongs to an estate or has to be sold by a certain date. Put our written number next to an agent's estimate, take off the commission and the repairs, and compare what you would keep.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Newton
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.

We buy across Newton, in all thirteen villages: Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newton Lower Falls, Newton Upper Falls, Newtonville, Nonantum, Oak Hill, Thompsonville, Waban and West Newton.

Neighborhoods and areas in Newton
Newton Centre
The village's main business area is a triangle where Beacon Street, Centre Street and Langley Road meet, the largest downtown of any Newton village, and the Green Line's D branch stops there on Union Street. Crystal Lake, a 33-acre natural lake, is a popular swimming spot in the area. Whichever street your house is on, our written offer is built from its condition and recent nearby sales.
Newton Highlands
The village was platted after 1852, when the Charles River Railroad was built, and commuter service to Boston began in the 1870s. Its historic district holds late-19th-century houses in Mansard, Colonial Revival, Italianate and other Victorian styles, along with the Newton Congregational Church and the Hyde School. A house from that era can sell to us as it stands, with no restoring or updating first.
Waban
Waban was heavily forested and became an agricultural village in the 19th century, known by the 1860s for its orchards, farms and nurseries. Growth picked up after 1886, when the Boston & Albany Railroad opened a station on its Highland Branch, now the Green Line's D branch. Much of the village was built up after the station opened. Whether the house is a century old or newer, you get the same written offer within one business day.
West Newton
One of the oldest of Newton's thirteen villages, West Newton got rail service in 1834, when the Boston and Worcester Railroad reached it. The village center is a National Register historic district, and so is the West Newton Hill district, listed in 1986. The MBTA's Framingham/Worcester Line stops in the village, and we buy houses here the way we buy anywhere else in Newton: as they stand.
Newtonville
Suburban development began here with the railway in 1834, and major growth followed in the second half of the 19th century, helped by the station built in 1880 that let professionals commute to Boston. The town center later expanded south along Walnut Street in the 1920s. If your house dates from either wave, you can leave the updating to us and sell it as it is.
Auburndale
The oldest house in Auburndale, at 473 Auburn Street, was built in 1730. The Auburndale Historic District, a local district set up in 2005, covers about 275 properties and takes in two National Register districts, and the village runs along the Charles River with more than 80 acres of conservation land. The MBTA's Framingham/Worcester Line stops at Auburndale station beside the Massachusetts Turnpike. Tell us about the house and we will work from recent sales nearby.
Nonantum
Mills on the Charles River made Nonantum a center for cotton, woolens and rope from 1778, and houses, churches and businesses went up quickly between 1860 and 1910. The Newton Historical Commission notes that two-unit houses are a common building type in mill villages such as Nonantum and Upper Falls. If you own a two-family, we can buy the whole building with the tenants in place.
Newton Upper Falls
Newton's first mill on the Charles River went up here in 1688, and by 1850 the village had 1,300 residents, about a quarter of Newton's population. A 60-acre historic district, listed on the National Register in 1986, covers much of the area between Route 9 and Elliot Street, and Echo Bridge, an old aqueduct now used as a pedestrian walkway, crosses the river here. Whether yours is a single-family or a two-unit house, the offer is for the whole property as it stands.
Newton Lower Falls
The Charles River drops 18 feet in under a quarter mile here, past a series of three small dams, and the village's commercial area continues across the river into Wellesley. St. Mary's Episcopal Church and the adjacent residential area on Grove Street form the Newton Lower Falls Historic District on the National Register. We can make an offer on a house here without any repairs or clean-out first.
Newton Corner
A village grew up at a crossroads here in the late 1600s, and the railway arrived in 1834. The Massachusetts Turnpike was built through it in the 1960s along the old railroad line, which split the village center in two. The Newton Corner station, once a streetcar and commuter rail stop, is now a busy bus depot. Send us the address of a house here and we will price it from the house itself.

Newton Sellers and Massachusetts Closings
Questions Newton House Sellers Ask First
Two-families with tenants, attorney closings, condo certificates, inherited houses and what you take home, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Newton 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 Massachusetts can confirm which disclosures apply. For a Newton house built before 1978, that includes the Massachusetts Property Transfer Lead Paint Notification alongside the federal lead-based paint disclosure.
Who handles the closing in Massachusetts, and do I need my own attorney?
A Massachusetts closing attorney takes part in the closing; a title company on its own does not run it. The attorney searches the title, gets the payoff figures, prepares the deed and the settlement statement, and records the deed at the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds. You do not have to hire your own attorney, but you are free to, and we encourage anyone to have an attorney read the purchase and sale agreement first. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my Newton 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 Massachusetts, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust 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 sale process, 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 Massachusetts can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Massachusetts page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Can you buy my two-family with tenants living in it?
Yes. We buy occupied two-family houses in Newton, and nobody has to move out for the sale. Leases and your tenants' rights generally pass to the buyer at closing. Bring copies of the leases and a note of any security deposits and last month's rent you hold, so the closing attorney can account for them.
Can you buy one condo unit, and what about unpaid condo fees?
Yes, we buy single condo units in any condition. Any unpaid common charges or special assessments shown on the 6(d) certificate are paid out of your proceeds at closing, so it helps to know that figure before you compare offers. If you are behind on condo fees, tell us early and we will account for it in the numbers.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Newton?
It depends on how title was held and Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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 Newton 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 you buy in every Newton village?
Yes. We buy in Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newton Lower Falls, Newton Upper Falls, Newtonville, Nonantum, Oak Hill, Thompsonville, Waban and West Newton. Where the house sits changes the price, because the offer rests on nearby sales, but not whether we make one.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Newton house?
We start from what the house would sell for once repaired, using recent sales of similar homes nearby. From that we take off the work it needs, our cost to resell it and a margin for the company, which is why a cash offer sits below an online estimate. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net, and you are welcome to ask how we got there or to compare it with other offers.
Should I list with an agent instead of taking a cash offer?
Sometimes, yes. If the house is in good shape and you can live with weeks of showings, a listing may bring more than a cash offer. A cash sale suits owners with something in the way: repairs a buyer's lender would flag, tenants, an estate to settle or a date they have to meet. Set our written offer beside an agent's estimate, take off the commission and the repairs, and compare what you would keep.
Do I have to fix or clean out the house first?
Almost never. Leave the repairs, the paint and the clean-out to us, and take whatever you want to keep. The one item some Newton sellers still need is a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm certificate from the Newton Fire Department, which Massachusetts requires on the sale of most homes. Your closing attorney can tell you whether your sale needs it and who arranges the inspection.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Newton?
Only together with the land. If you own the manufactured home and the lot under it, in Newton or elsewhere in Middlesex County, we can make one offer for both. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
I have moved away from Newton. Can I still sell?
Yes. The closing attorney can send your documents to a notary near you, wherever you now live, and your proceeds are wired to you once the deed is recorded. If a job or a family move is behind the sale, tell us the date you are working toward and we will plan around it.
How much money will I actually take home?
The offer price, less your mortgage payoff, any other debts against the property, your share of the property tax up to closing and the Massachusetts deeds excise, which sellers here customarily pay. You pay no agent commission on a sale to us, and we cover the other closing costs. Your closing attorney sends a settlement statement with every line on it before you sign.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers, and will you be the ones buying?
Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Massachusetts among them. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews. We may buy your house ourselves or assign the contract to a partner investor, and the agreement discloses that right before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Newton 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 Newton: $2.28 per $500 of the price, about $4.56 per $1,000, subject to the purchase agreement.
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.
