What People Say About Working With Us
Cannot recommend Mr. Oren and his team enough if you have a property or home that you are looking to sell fast. The professionalism and transparency they show is not comparable to other cash home buyers. From the point of initial contact all the way to closing day, the team at Eagle Cash Buyers kept their word with consistent updates throughout the process. Thank you for the integrity you have shown during this time of distress. Highly recommended.
Eagle Cash Buyers LLC provided professional service. They were easy to work with, and were available with prompt communication throughout the process. I look forward to working with them again.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.
Eagle Cash Buyers helped me to stop a foreclosure. My home was 2 days away from an auction. For a company who invests in buying homes for profit they helped my family keep mine. So grateful.

Portsmouth Homeowners We Help
Portsmouth sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home near downtown, some are managing an inherited property, and some simply want a sale without a listing.
An Older House That Needs Work
Portsmouth's downtown historic district, listed on the National Register in 2017, includes buildings from the Federal, Greek Revival and Late Victorian periods. Houses of that age can need roof, wiring, heating or foundation work before a conventional buyer's inspection. We buy as-is, so you do not have to repair, clean out or stage anything first.
An Inherited House
An inherited house can sit while family members decide, and taxes, insurance and upkeep keep running. We can buy it as it stands, including with belongings inside. Who signs depends on how the house was held: if it goes through probate in New Hampshire, the estate's administrator or executor usually signs, and a probate attorney can tell you what applies to your situation.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not need to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy houses with tenants in them, and a lease generally passes to the buyer at closing. How it is handled depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it with you.

Behind on Payments or Facing Foreclosure
If you have fallen behind on a mortgage or taxes, time matters. A cash sale may let you sell before a lender's deadline, depending on what you owe and the price. Tell us where things stand, and consider speaking with an attorney or your lender about your options as well.

A Move That Cannot Wait
A job change, a divorce or a move closer to family can leave no room for months of showings. We pick the closing date with you, usually 21 to 42 days out, or later if you need more time. That lets you plan the move around the sale rather than the other way around.
You Would Rather Not List
Listing means photos, open houses, buyer financing and possible repair requests after an inspection. If you would rather skip that, a direct sale to us is simpler. We make a written offer, and you decide whether it suits you.
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 Portsmouth are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the New Hampshire 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 $797,700 sale is about $39,900 to $47,900 | 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 |
| New Hampshire Transfer Tax | 75 cents per $100 from the seller and the same from the buyer. 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 Portsmouth, 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's inquiry was in her own name, but someone else phoned to start the conversation for her. Our acquisition manager noticed the difference and asked whether the owner was able to take part. The call was then rescheduled so the owner could join before anything moved forward.
We are not saying this was a New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire 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 Portsmouth, 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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire 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.
Portsmouth Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Portsmouth home at $797,700 in August 2026, 3.4% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A house that needs work, or one with a tenant or an estate attached, can sell differently from the typical home.
Listing with an agent can bring a higher headline price for a house in good shape, but it also means preparation, showings and a wait for a buyer's financing and inspection. A cash sale trades some of that price for speed and certainty. Compare both routes before you decide.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Portsmouth
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.

Portsmouth and Rockingham County Seller Questions
Selling an Older Portsmouth House? What to Know First
Older houses, tenants, inheritance, closing costs, liens and the first phone call, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth: 75 cents per $100 from the seller and the same from the buyer, subject to the purchase agreement.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Portsmouth 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 New Hampshire can confirm which disclosures apply.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Portsmouth?
It depends on how title was held and New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire 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 Portsmouth 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.
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 Portsmouth 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 New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our New Hampshire page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Portsmouth house?
No. We buy houses as-is, whether the house needs a new roof or just a clean-out. Tell us what you know about its condition and we base the written offer on that.
Do you buy mobile homes in Portsmouth?
Yes, when you own the land under the home. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot.
Do you buy houses in the historic parts of Portsmouth?
Yes. We buy older houses in any condition across the city, including those downtown and in the South End. Mobile homes are the one exception noted above. Send the address and we will respond with a written offer.
How long does it take to get an offer?
We send a written offer within one business day of getting your address and details. Most sales then close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.
Can someone else make the first contact for me?
Yes. A spouse or family member can start the conversation. Before anything moves forward, though, we ask the owner to join. If someone calls on your behalf, we will schedule a call that includes you.
What happens on the first call?
It is a short conversation about the property: its details, its condition and your situation. You are not committing to anything by calling, and we ask you to share only what you are comfortable with.
Are you a local Portsmouth buyer?
No. Eagle Cash Buyers buys houses in 43 states, so we are not a Portsmouth-only company. We do buy houses here, and you can reach us by phone or form from wherever you are.
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.
