What People Say About Working With Us

Christina SouderRated 5 out of 5
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.

North Fair Oaks Homeowners We Help

North Fair Oaks sellers come to us for different reasons. Some own a house that needs work, some are handling an estate, and some just want a sale without showings. Here are the situations we hear most.

A House That Needs Repairs

A leaking roof, old wiring or a kitchen nobody has touched in years can make a regular listing hard. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, and the offer reflects the repairs, so you do not fix or clean anything before closing.

An Inherited House

Inheriting a house in San Mateo County can mean decisions about a place you may not live in. We can evaluate the house and make an offer while the estate paperwork is sorted out, if the numbers work. An estate attorney confirms who can sign.

A Rental With Tenants in Place

If you are tired of being a landlord, you can sell without waiting for a lease to end. What happens to the lease generally passes to the buyer at closing and depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we can explain what we see.

Back Taxes or a Lien

Unpaid property taxes or a recorded lien may not rule out a sale. Often they can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, as long as the payoff can be obtained. Tell us early so the title or escrow company can look into it.

Related guide: Selling a Home With Liens or Back Taxes

Fire or Water Damage

A house with fire, smoke or water damage can be hard to list and hard to insure for a financed buyer. We can look at it as it stands and say whether we can make an offer, if the numbers work. You do not need to repair it first.

A Vacant House You Do Not Want to Carry

An empty house still has taxes, insurance and utilities. If you live out of the area or have already moved, you can sign in person or remotely and skip the showings. The offer comes first, and you choose the closing 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.

What the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs

Sellers in North Fair Oaks 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 FactorEagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale)Traditional Listing (Agent)Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer)
Agent CommissionNone - $0Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $300,000 sale is about $15,000 to $18,000Usually none, though a service fee often applies
Repairs Before SaleNone - we buy as-isOften paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for moreOften deductions for repairs after the inspection
Documentary Transfer TaxCounty tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000). Your share is paid from your proceeds, as set out in the purchase agreement and shown on your settlement statementThe same tax appliesThe same tax applies
Seller Closing CostsWe 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 contractA service fee set by each platform
Days to CloseMost close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the dateWeeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall throughSet by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas
Showings and InspectionsNo public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreementMultiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspectionUsually a company inspection, often with repair deductions
Financing Contingency RiskNo buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still applyBuyer financing can fall through weeks into the processLow risk, but platform rules apply
Condition RequiredWe buy as-is - no updates neededBuyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollarVaries - 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 North Fair Oaks, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.

An Example From a Real Call

Someone once called us about a house on behalf of the owner, who had sent in the inquiry in her own name. Our acquisition manager noticed the difference and asked whether the owner was able to take part. The owner had simply asked this person to make first contact, so a three-way call was scheduled for when they could all join. 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.

Three Steps, From First Call to Closing

A single-family house

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.

1

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.

2

Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day

We look at the property, recent comparable sales in North Fair Oaks, 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.

3

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.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in North Fair Oaks

These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 North Fair Oaks and Nearby Areas

We look at houses across North Fair Oaks and the rest of San Mateo County. The county describes Middlefield Road as the main street of North Fair Oaks, so that is where we start.

Neighborhoods and areas in North Fair Oaks

Middlefield Road corridor

San Mateo County's Public Works page calls Middlefield Road the "main street" of North Fair Oaks, its main shopping and service corridor and its primary north-south route. The county's Board approved design recommendations for the road in April 2017, according to the same page. For a seller, the road is a handy way to describe where your house sits, and it helps us place the address quickly when you send it.

Fair Oaks Avenue and Edison Way

The neighborhood park at Fair Oaks Avenue and Edison Way is built over the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and is maintained by the Fair Oaks Beautification Association, according to Wikipedia. If a utility corridor or an easement crosses your lot, mention it, because the title or escrow company will review it before closing.

5th Avenue at El Camino Real

The county's Public Works page names 5th Avenue at El Camino Real as one of four proposed locations for North Fair Oaks entry signs. It marks where the community meets El Camino Real. If your house is near that edge, tell us your exact address, since the border with Redwood City can be hard to tell from a map.

Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including smcgov.org and en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

North Fair Oaks Seller Questions

What Owners Near Middlefield Road and Fair Oaks Avenue Ask Us First

Unincorporated status, damaged houses, mobile homes, closing and who needs to be on the call, answered briefly.

Who pays closing costs when I sell my North Fair Oaks 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 North Fair Oaks: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000), subject to the purchase agreement.

Is North Fair Oaks the same place as Fair Oaks elsewhere in California?

No. North Fair Oaks is in San Mateo County, next to Redwood City, Atherton and Menlo Park. A community called Fair Oaks in another part of California is a different place. When you send your address, include the ZIP code so we look at the right house.

North Fair Oaks is unincorporated. Does that change how a sale works?

North Fair Oaks is not part of a city, and San Mateo County provides its services, according to Wikipedia. The sale itself follows the same steps: we send a written offer, you sign a purchase agreement, and a title or escrow company handles the closing. Your closing provider can tell you which county offices apply to your paperwork.

Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my North Fair Oaks 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.

How soon will I hear back after I send my address?

You can usually expect a written cash offer within one business day of sending the address and the details we need. Some houses need extra research, photos or a walkthrough before an offer can be finalized. There is no obligation to accept it.

Can I sell my North Fair Oaks 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 mobile homes in North Fair Oaks?

We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the land under the home, send us the address and we can usually say whether we can make an offer.

What if my house has fire, smoke or water damage?

We can look at a damaged house as it stands. Send photos if you have them, and tell us what happened and whether an insurance claim is open. We can usually say whether we can make an offer, if the numbers work, and you do not repair anything first.

Can my spouse or a relative contact you for me?

Yes, a spouse, relative or attorney can make the first contact for you. We present the numbers with the owners and decision makers on the line, so the first call is mostly about the house. Whoever signs the purchase agreement needs the authority to do so.

Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in North Fair Oaks?

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.

Who closes the sale, and can I sign remotely?

A title or escrow company handles the title work and the closing. You can sign in person or remotely, and you choose the closing date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.

Can selling my North Fair Oaks 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.

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.

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.
