What People Say About Working With Us
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would recommend.
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.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.

Pelham Homeowners We Help
Pelham sellers come to us with very different houses and reasons. Here are the situations we hear about most, and how a cash sale handles each.
A House That Needs Repairs
Worn roofs, dated kitchens and deferred upkeep are common on houses of any age. We buy as-is, so you do not need to repair, paint or clean before the offer. You can leave what you do not want and keep what you do.
An Inherited House
Inheriting a Pelham house can mean managing it from far away while the family decides what to do. We can buy it as-is once the right people are able to sign. Probate steps vary, so a local attorney can tell you what applies to your estate.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out before we talk. We can buy a rented house with tenants in it. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means in practice depends on the lease terms.

Behind on Payments
If missed mortgage payments are piling up, a sale on your own schedule can be one option to weigh. Usually the sale price needs to cover what you owe, unless your lender agrees in writing to accept less. A housing counselor or attorney can explain your position. We can talk through whether a cash offer fits.
Moving on a Deadline
A job change or a move out of the Birmingham area can leave a Pelham house sitting empty. You pick the closing date that fits, and most sales close in 21 to 42 days. If you need longer, tell us and we will work with it.
A Vacant House
An empty house still costs money in taxes, insurance and utilities. We buy vacant houses as-is, and you can handle most of the process from a distance. Send the address and we will take it from there.

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 Pelham are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Alabama Deed 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, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $324,800 sale is about $16,200 to $19,500 | 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 |
| Alabama Deed Tax | A deed tax charged when the deed is recorded; the contract decides who pays. 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 Pelham, 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 was the administrator of an estate where the local court served as the executor, an arrangement most people have not met. The court had to be told the closing date in advance so the sale could be recorded, and our team explained that we would coordinate with the estate's attorney on that step. Procedures like this vary, so anyone in a similar position should confirm the requirements locally.
We are not saying this was an Alabama 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 Alabama 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 Pelham, 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 Alabama 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 Alabama Deed 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.
Pelham Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Pelham home at $324,800 in August 2026, 2.2% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition or location of any one house. Your own house could be worth more or less depending on its size, age, condition and street.
A traditional sale usually means repairs, showings and a buyer who needs financing and an appraisal. A cash sale to Eagle skips the showings and lets you choose the closing date, with the trade-off that the offer reflects the house's condition and the work it needs.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Pelham
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 Pelham and throughout Shelby County, on either side of U.S. 31 and I-65. Send the address and we will tell you whether the house qualifies.
Neighborhoods and areas in Pelham
Along U.S. 31 and Near I-65
U.S. 31 runs through Pelham, and I-65 can be reached from exits 242 and 246 according to Wikipedia. Houses within easy reach of these roads are close to shopping and the highway north toward Birmingham. For a seller, that access is one thing buyers weigh, though the offer also depends on the house's condition and size.
Near Oak Mountain State Park
Oak Mountain State Park, which Wikipedia describes as Alabama's largest state park, lies in the Pelham area. Houses near it sit close to trails, lakes and wooded land. For a seller, that setting can matter to some buyers, and a cash sale lets you skip staging and showings either way.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Pelham and Shelby County Seller Questions
Selling in Pelham? Read This Before You Decide
Short answers on offers, timing, tenants, mobile homes and the paperwork side of a cash sale.
How do you decide what to offer on my Pelham house?
We look at the address, the condition you describe and what comparable houses nearby have sold for, then subtract the work the house needs. You get a written offer within one business day of sending the address. There is no obligation to accept it.
How long does a sale to Eagle take?
Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and the seller picks the date. If you need more time, say so and we can build a later closing into the contract. An Alabama closing attorney or title company handles the paperwork.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. You can leave furniture and belongings you do not want, and we will deal with them after closing. Take what matters to you before the closing date.
Do you buy mobile homes in Pelham?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy mobile homes in a park or on a rented lot. If you are not sure how your property is set up, send the address and we will tell you.
Can you buy a house that has tenants in it?
Yes. You do not need the tenants to leave first. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means in practice depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy when you reach out.
Are you a local Pelham buyer?
No. Eagle Cash Buyers works in 43 states and buys houses in Pelham the same way it does anywhere else. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, none of which are specific to Pelham.
I live out of state. Can I still sell my Pelham house?
Usually, yes. Offers, paperwork and signing can mostly be handled remotely, with the closing attorney or title company coordinating closing. Tell us up front where you are and we will plan around it.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Pelham 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 Pelham: a deed tax charged when the deed is recorded; the contract decides who pays.
Can I sell my Pelham 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 Pelham?
It depends on how title was held and Alabama 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 Alabama 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 Pelham 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 Alabama 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 Pelham 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 Alabama, 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 Alabama can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Alabama page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
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.
