Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.
Mende LewisRated 5 out of 5
I don't think I've ever been so happy to leave a review in all my life. For my family, the sale of my dad's home was a medical event. In many ways, because of the speed at which JP and Eagle Cash Buyers worked, it saved my dad's life. Not only did they work quickly and fairly, but at the end of the day they were willing to take a lesser commission to make sure my dad was treated fairly. I am so unbelievably grateful for this company and JP. I highly HIGHLY recommend working with this company.

Portsmouth Homeowners We Help

No two Portsmouth sales look alike. One owner has an older house that needs a new roof and can no longer afford to fix it. Another has a rental to be done with, or a relative's house to settle from far away. If you are weighing selling for cash in Ohio, here is how we handle the common situations.

An Older House That Needs Work

Many Portsmouth houses were built generations ago, and a house of almost any age can need new wiring, plumbing, a roof or foundation work. A buyer using a mortgage may not be able to close until those repairs are made. We buy the house as it stands and price the work into the written offer, so you do not need to fix or clean anything first.

Inherited a House in Scioto County

If the owner held title alone, the county probate court may need to give someone the authority to sign before a sale can close. A house held in a trust may not need that step. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture and all, and can make an offer while the paperwork is being sorted out, but we cannot close until someone has the authority to sign. A probate attorney can tell you which route fits your situation.

Behind on the Mortgage

Ohio foreclosures go through the courts, so there are filings and court dates before a lender can sell the house. An attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor can explain what your notices mean. If the price covers what you owe, a sale that closes first pays the loan off from the proceeds; if it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less. Call early: the sooner we see the paperwork, the better we can tell whether a closing could happen before any sale date is set.

A Rental You Are Done Managing

You do not have to wait for a lease to run out or ask anyone to move. We buy occupied houses, and the lease passes to the buyer at closing, who is us or the partner named in the agreement. An Ohio landlord-tenant attorney can confirm how your particular lease is affected. If the house is empty between tenants, we buy it that way too.

A House Left Empty

A house that has sat empty after a move, a death in the family or a job change often collects a pile of small problems. You do not have to clean it out, repair it or stage it. We buy vacant houses as they stand, and you can leave behind whatever you do not want to move.

Selling From Out of Town

If work or family has taken you away from Portsmouth, you do not need to come back to sell. A mobile notary or a mailed signing package usually does the job. We arrange that with the closing agent, and your proceeds are sent to you after closing.

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 Portsmouth are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Ohio Conveyance Fee 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, 5% on a $94,999 sale is $4,750Usually 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
Ohio Conveyance FeeState fee of $1.00 per $1,000, plus a county fee of up to $3.00 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, back taxes and any other debts against the property are paid from your proceeds, as in any saleTitle, recording and closing fees, plus prorations; amounts vary by contractA service fee set by each platform
Days to CloseAs little as 21 to 42 days, or longer 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 Portsmouth, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.

See What We'd Pay

A Real Call With a Seller

A family member acting under a power of attorney for the owner was calling several cash buyers to see who would pay the most, with an online estimate in hand. Our acquisition manager went through how our number is built, live on the call: an estimate of the house's market value, minus the repairs it needs, minus what it costs us to resell it, minus a margin for the company. That is the usual reason a cash offer lands below an online estimate. The caller questioned the number and planned to have a real estate agent check the math, which is what we would want any seller to do.

We are not saying this was an Ohio seller. 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 established Ohio closing agents who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing agent 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 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 Ohio page sets out what a listing costs.

3

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. The Ohio Conveyance Fee and every other cost are shown on your settlement statement before closing. We can close in as little as 21 to 42 days once the title work has cleared, 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 $94,999 in August 2026, 3.7% higher than a year earlier. A citywide figure describes a typical home, not any one house. It says nothing about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.

$94,999
Typical Home Value (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026)
+3.7%
Year-Over-Year, Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026

When a typical house is valued at about $95,000, a large repair bill can be a big share of the price. That is often why a house with an old roof, dated wiring or a damaged kitchen draws fewer buyers and more price cuts than one in good shape.

A buyer with a mortgage brings an appraisal and an inspection, and a lender may not lend on a house until problems are fixed. A cash offer skips the lender's appraisal. You see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you sign.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Portsmouth

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.

We buy across Portsmouth and throughout Scioto County, from Boneyfiddle by the river and the Hilltop streets to Sciotoville in the east, and in nearby communities such as New Boston and Wheelersburg. If your house is in 45662 or anywhere else in the county, send us the address.

Neighborhoods and areas in Portsmouth

Boneyfiddle

A district several blocks west of downtown Portsmouth, generally centered on Market and Second streets. Its core, the Boneyfiddle Commercial District, covers 35 acres of buildings dating from 1832 in Greek Revival, Italianate and Federal styles, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Many of the buildings here date from the 1800s, so houses in and around the district vary widely in age and layout, and we price each one on its own.

Hilltop

A residential part of Portsmouth north of 17th Street, west of Thomas Avenue and east of Scioto Trail. Houses across an area that size differ in age and condition, so we look at each address on its own. The written offer is for the house as it stands, and you choose the closing date.

Sciotoville

A neighborhood on the Ohio River about five miles east of downtown, founded in 1835, platted in 1841 and annexed by Portsmouth in 1921. It shares the 45662 ZIP code with the rest of the city. A Sciotoville house is a Portsmouth house for our purposes, and we buy there the same way we buy anywhere in the city.

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

Ohio and Scioto County Seller Questions

Before You Agree to a Portsmouth Cash Sale, Read These Answers

Disclosure on an as-is sale, back taxes and liens, inherited houses, foreclosure notices and mobile homes on owned land, answered briefly.

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 Ohio can confirm which disclosures apply.

Do you buy houses in every part of Portsmouth, even ones that need a lot of work?

Yes. We look at houses across Portsmouth, from Boneyfiddle and the Hilltop streets to Sciotoville, and throughout Scioto County, in ZIP code 45662 and beyond. For most houses, condition and location shape the price rather than whether we make an offer. You do not need to fix or clean anything before we look.

Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Portsmouth?

It depends on how title was held and the law of the state where the property is located. 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 Ohio 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 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. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the court or trustee where applicable, 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 Ohio can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Ohio page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

How do you work out a cash offer on a Portsmouth house?

We start from an estimate of what the house would sell for once repaired, based on recent sales of similar homes nearby. From that we take off the repairs it needs, the cost of reselling it and a margin for the company. What is left is the offer. Online estimates rarely account for the roof, the wiring or the kitchen, which is why a cash offer usually comes in below them. The written offer shows the price and the terms. You can take it to a real estate agent to check the math.

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.

Who handles the closing in Ohio, and do I need an attorney?

A licensed Ohio closing agent, usually a title company, handles it. The agent runs the title search, collects the money, pays off your mortgage and any liens from the proceeds when the price covers them, records the deed with the county and sends you the balance. Many routine sales close without either side hiring an attorney. Probate, foreclosure and title problems are the situations where one is worth having. Most of our closings fall between 21 and 42 days, and you choose the date.

Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Portsmouth?

Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Portsmouth or elsewhere in Scioto County, we can make an offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.

Is selling for cash better than listing with an agent in Portsmouth?

It depends on the house and on how much time you have. Many sellers with a house in good shape and time to wait can get a higher price from a listing, but you pay the agent's commission and usually closing costs, and you wait for a buyer's financing, inspection and appraisal. Our offer is lower than a full retail sale, but it arrives in writing within one business day, you pay no agent commission on a direct sale to us, and you repair nothing. The comparison table on this page sets the options side by side.

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.

Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?

Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Ohio among them, and it is registered in Ohio. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.4 stars from 37 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. This page was reviewed by our founder, Oren Sofrin.

How much money will I actually walk away with?

The offer price, less your loan payoff, any liens or back taxes, and your share of prorated property taxes and any transfer tax that falls to you. On a direct sale to us you pay no agent commission, and we pay the closing costs apart from those items. The closing agent sends a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.

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: state fee of $1.00 per $1,000, plus a county fee of up to $3.00 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.
