What People Say About Working With Us
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.
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.
Excellent, amazing group, JP is first class. I would recommend Eagle cash buyers anytime.
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would recommend.

Portland Homeowners We Help
No two Portland sales start in the same place. One owner has an east-side house built a century ago that still has its original wiring. Another is a landlord who would rather not end a tenancy under Portland's rules just to sell, and another inherited a parent's house and now lives in another state. Each of those runs a little differently, and selling for cash in Oregon goes more smoothly when the buyer works from your details rather than a script.
A House From the Streetcar Years
Parts of Portland's east side filled in after electric streetcar lines arrived in the 1890s. Any house from those years can still have original wiring, galvanized plumbing or a tired foundation, and a buyer's inspector will note them. We build that work into our offer, so the repairs stop being your problem.
A Rental With Tenants in It
Ending a Portland tenancy so you can sell the house empty can mean a long written notice and, in many cases, a relocation payment that city code requires the landlord to make. You can skip that step. We buy occupied houses, and the lease and your tenants' rights pass to the buyer at closing: us, or a partner we assign the contract to, as the agreement discloses.

Fire, Smoke or Water Damage
A kitchen fire, a pipe that burst behind a wall or a roof that let a wet winter in can leave a house that many lenders will not finance until it is repaired. We buy it in that condition. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early, because how the claim and any payout are handled is written into the agreement before you sign.

Inherited a House in Multnomah County
When the owner held title alone, with no trust, an Oregon probate case or another court procedure is often needed before anyone can sign a deed. A house held in a living trust can often be sold by the successor trustee without one. We buy inherited houses as they are, contents included, and an Oregon probate attorney can tell you which route fits your family's situation.

Behind on the Mortgage
Oregon lets a lender foreclose on most home loans through a trustee's sale, without going to court, so the process can move faster than owners expect. An attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor can walk you through your options. A sale that closes before the trustee's sale can pay off the loan if the price covers it, and whatever is left after the loan, any other liens and closing items is paid to you; if the price falls short, the lender has to agree to accept less. The earlier you call, the more room there is to fit a closing date in first.
Moved Away From Portland
If work or family has taken you out of the Portland area, you do not need to travel back to sell. The title and escrow company can send a mobile notary or mail the signing package to you, and your proceeds are wired to you once the deed records.

Get My Cash OfferWhat the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs
Sellers in Portland are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, any 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, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $527,400 sale is about $26,400 to $31,600 | 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 |
| Transfer Tax | Oregon bars new local transfer taxes; one already in effect in March 1997 can still apply. 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 Portland, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayThree Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Oregon 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 Portland, 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 Oregon 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. Any 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.
Portland Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Portland home at about $527,400 in August 2026, 0.3% higher than a year earlier. Prices have barely moved over the year. A citywide typical value says where prices sit overall, not what one particular house is worth, and least of all one that needs work.
When prices hold still, buyers take their time. They tour more houses, compare each one with the updated place a few blocks over, and push for credits once the inspection report lands. An older Portland house that needs a sewer line, a roof or an electrical upgrade tends to sit while the price reductions pile up.
A financed buyer adds the lender's conditions on top. FHA and VA loans send an appraiser to check the house against the program's minimum property standards, and chipped paint, a failing roof or a missing stair rail can stall the loan until the seller fixes them. A cash offer has no buyer's lender and no lender's appraisal. You see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you sign anything.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Portland
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 Portland, Multnomah County, Washington County and Clackamas County
We buy all over Portland, from St. Johns and Laurelhurst to Sellwood-Moreland and Lents. Most of the city sits in Multnomah County, and we also buy in the small parts that reach into Washington and Clackamas Counties. If your house is in 97206, 97211, 97217 or any other Portland ZIP code, we cover it.
Neighborhoods and areas in Portland
Laurelhurst
Platted in 1909 on former farmland, Laurelhurst straddles Northeast and Southeast Portland with curving streets of older single-family homes around Laurelhurst Park. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 2019, and under the city's rules, demolishing certain buildings in a National Register district needs a Demolition Review. A buyer who wants to tear down and rebuild has to plan around that review; we buy the house as it stands.
Sellwood-Moreland
Sellwood was a town of its own, incorporated in 1889, until Portland annexed it in 1893. The neighborhood sits on a bluff above the Willamette River at the city's southern edge, linked to Southwest Portland by the Sellwood Bridge, with shops and restaurants along SE 13th Avenue and Milwaukie Avenue. If you own a house here, our offer is based on that house and recent sales nearby, and you see it in writing before you decide.
Lents
Lents was platted as a separate town in 1892 and became part of Portland in 1912, and Interstate 205 was later built through the middle of the original townsite. Hundreds of new apartments opened around the Lents Town Center in the late 2010s, alongside older houses. If you own a house here, in any condition, we can make a written offer and you pick the closing date.
Montavilla
The name is a contraction of Mount Tabor Villa, an addition platted in 1889, and electric streetcars served the area from 1892 until 1948. The neighborhood also takes in the Asbahr Addition, built up in the early-to-mid 1950s mostly with ranch-style houses, and its main shopping street is SE Stark between 75th and 82nd Avenues. A ranch house and an older house sell to us the same way: a written offer within one business day and a closing date you choose.
Foster-Powell
A triangle of southeast Portland bounded by Powell Boulevard, Foster Road and 82nd Avenue, where much of the building is thought to have followed Portland's original electric streetcar line in the 1890s. Businesses line the three boundary streets, and the interior is largely residential. If you own a house here, in any condition, you can sell it to us as-is and see the price in writing first.
St. Johns
St. Johns was an incorporated city from 1903 until 1915, when voters in both St. Johns and Portland approved the merger, and it sits on the North Portland peninsula at the foot of the St. Johns Bridge. Its downtown core is mostly independently owned shops and restaurants, while the northern part of the neighborhood gives way to the Rivergate industrial district. If you own a rental here, we can buy it with the tenants still living in it.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org and portland.gov. Conditions vary from house to house.
Main ZIP codes: 97201, 97202, 97203, 97205, 97206, 97209, 97210, 97211, 97212, 97213, 97214, 97215, 97216, 97217, 97218, 97219, 97220, 97221, 97227, 97230, 97232, 97233, 97236, 97239, 97266

Oregon and Multnomah County Seller Questions
What Portland Owners Ask Before They Sell for Cash
Home Energy Scores, tenants under Portland's rules, inherited houses, trustee's sales and signing from out of town, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Portland 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 Oregon can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who runs the closing in Oregon, and will I need a lawyer?
A title and escrow company, in most sales. It holds the money, runs the title search, pays your loan and any liens out of the proceeds when the price covers them, and records the deed in the county where the house sits, which for most of Portland is Multnomah County. Many routine Oregon sales close with no attorney on either side; probate, foreclosure and title disputes are where hiring one pays off.
Can selling my Portland 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 Oregon, 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 Oregon can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Oregon page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do I need a Portland Home Energy Score to sell my house to you?
The city requires a Home Energy Score for most homes listed or publicly advertised for sale inside Portland's city limits. Its own guidance says the requirement does not apply to a private sale between two parties when the home is never publicly advertised. If the house has already been advertised, or you are not sure the rule leaves you out, check with the city's Home Energy Score program.
How do you arrive at a cash offer on a Portland house?
We start with what the house would likely sell for once repaired, using recent sales of similar homes close by, then subtract the cost of the work it needs and our costs to hold and resell it. The written offer lays out the price, the terms and your estimated net. Getting one costs nothing, and you are free to turn it down.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Portland?
It depends on how title was held and Oregon 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 Oregon 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 Portland 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.
Can you buy my Portland rental while the tenants still live there?
Yes. You do not have to end the tenancy or wait for a lease to run out. We make the offer on the house with the renters in it, and their lease moves to the buyer at closing along with the landlord's obligations. An Oregon landlord-tenant attorney can tell you what the city's rules ask of you before then.
Do you buy in every part of Portland?
Yes. We buy from St. Johns in North Portland through Laurelhurst, Montavilla, Foster-Powell and Lents on the east side, down to Sellwood-Moreland, and across Northwest and Southwest Portland, in 97206, 97211, 97217 and every other ZIP code in the city. Where the house sits affects the price, not whether we will make an offer.
My Portland house has fire or water damage. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. Fire, smoke and water damage go into the price, so there is no need to repair or gut the damaged rooms first. If you have an open insurance claim, mention it the first time we talk.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in the Portland area?
Yes, as long as the land is part of the sale. If you own the manufactured home and the lot under it, anywhere in the Portland area, we can make one offer on both. We do not buy a mobile home that sits in a park or on a rented lot.
How is selling to you different from selling to an iBuyer like Opendoor?
iBuyers tend to buy newer houses in good shape and deduct repairs after their own inspection. We also buy older and damaged houses, and the written offer shows what we will pay before you sign. The comparison table on this page puts both next to a traditional listing.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Oregon included. We are BBB accredited and have 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. We either buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to a partner investor, and the agreement discloses that assignment right before you sign.
How much will I actually walk away with?
The offer price, minus your loan payoff, any liens or back taxes, your share of prorated property taxes and any transfer tax that falls to you. There is no agent commission, and we pay the closing costs apart from those items. The title and escrow company sends a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Portland 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 Portland: Oregon bars new local transfer taxes; one already in effect in March 1997 can still apply, 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.
