What People Say About Working With Us
Oren and the Eagle Cash Buyers team were extremely efficient throughout the entire sales process. Oren answered my calls day and night unlike other people that I have worked with before. He was very attentive to all my concerns and completely put my mind at ease. I am really looking forward to working with him again and highly recommend Oren plus his team.
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.
I have worked with Eagle Cash Buyers on several deals both personal and investments. They work well with swiftness and professionalism. Their team is friendly and easy to work with!
Quick and efficient! I highly recommend!

Racine Homeowners We Help
Racine sits on Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Root River, and its houses were built in very different eras: workers' cottages from around 1900, duplexes put up by a rubber company in 1919, mid-century bungalows and ranches. Each sale starts from a different house, so we price yours from its own details. See selling for cash in Wisconsin for how the process works statewide.
An Older Cottage or Victorian
Racine has a lot of houses from before 1920, from the cream brick and frame cottages on the north side to the large Victorian homes south of downtown. A house that age may still have original wiring, old plumbing or a basement that has moved over the years, and a retail buyer's inspector will look at all three. We build that work into our offer, so the repairs stop being yours to deal with.
A Duplex or Rental With Tenants
Racine has plenty of duplexes and small rentals, including Rubberville, a whole neighborhood laid out as duplexes in 1919 and 1920. If you own one, you do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move. We buy occupied property, and the leases pass to the buyer at closing: us, or a partner we assign the contract to if the agreement allows it.

A Mid-Century House With Its Original Kitchen
On the west side, the Orchard Street area filled in between 1929 and 1958 with bungalows and ranch houses. Houses from that era can still have the kitchen, bath or furnace they were built with. Nothing needs remodeling first, because we make the offer on the house as it is today.
Water, Fire or Storm Damage
A basement that took on water, a burst pipe in a cold snap, a kitchen fire or a roof that let the rain in can leave a house that many lenders will not finance until it is fixed. We buy it in that condition. If an insurance claim is open, tell us at the start so the agreement spells out how the claim and any payout are handled.

Inherited a House in Racine County
When a parent's house passes to children who live elsewhere, someone still has to decide what to do with it, and an empty house keeps costing heat, insurance and property tax. We buy inherited houses with the belongings still inside. Whether probate is needed first depends on how the house was owned, and a Wisconsin probate attorney can tell you which route applies to you.

Behind on the Mortgage
Most Wisconsin foreclosures go through the circuit court, and the court sets deadlines that can arrive quickly. A HUD-approved counselor or an attorney can explain your options, and our Wisconsin page sets out how the process generally works. A sale that closes before a sheriff's sale pays off the loan if the price covers what is owed; if it does not, the lender has to agree to take less. Call early and bring every notice you have.
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 Racine are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Wisconsin Transfer Fee 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, 5% on a $300,000 sale is $15,000 | 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 |
| Wisconsin Transfer Fee | 0.3% of the price, imposed on the seller. 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, back taxes and any other debts against the property are paid from your proceeds, as in any sale | 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 Racine, 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
A homeowner had sent in an inquiry about her house, and her husband called to get things started. Before discussing the property, our acquisition manager noticed the inquiry was in her name and asked whether she was able to take part. We talk to the owner before anything moves forward, so a three-way call was set up for later, once he was back home. The manager described the first call as a basic one, meant to learn a little more about the property and the condition it was in.
We are not saying this was a Wisconsin homeowner. 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 Wisconsin 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 Racine, 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 Wisconsin 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. The Wisconsin Transfer Fee 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 Racine
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 Racine and Racine County

Neighborhoods and areas in Racine
Southside Historic District
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, this district south of downtown has more than 500 contributing buildings put up between the 1840s and the 1920s, in styles from Greek Revival and Italianate to Queen Anne and Prairie School. Frank Lloyd Wright's 1905 Hardy House is among them. Houses of this age and variety are each priced on their own condition and recent nearby sales, and you fix nothing before you sell.
Northside Cream Brick Cottages
The Northside Historic District of Cream Brick Workers' Cottages was listed on the National Register in 1994. Its houses are mostly one-and-a-half-story, front-gabled cottages built before and after 1900, some in cream brick and others in frame. With cottages this close in style, a brick house and a frame one on the same street can still be worth different amounts, so we look at your house, not the block.
Rubberville
Officially the Racine Rubber Company Homes Historic District, this is a planned neighborhood built in 1919 and 1920 by the Ajax Rubber Company for its workers. It has about 100 duplex homes in ten standard models, and it was listed on the National Register in 2006. If you own one side of a duplex or a whole building here, we can buy it, occupied or empty.
Melvin Avenue
The Melvin Avenue Residential Historic District, north of downtown, was listed on the National Register in 2011. Its houses date from the late 1920s and 1930 and include bungalow, Colonial Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival styles. A house in a style like these can carry a lot of original detail, and we price what is actually in your house.
Orchard Street
The Orchard Street Historic District is a west-side neighborhood that developed between 1929 and 1958, with styles running from bungalows to ranch houses. It was listed on the National Register in 2016. Mid-century houses like these often still have their original kitchens and baths, and we buy them that way, so there is nothing to update before you sell.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org, livingplaces.com, cityofracinewi.gov and preservationracine.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Racine and Wisconsin Seller Questions
Cottages, Duplexes and Older Homes: Racine Questions Answered
Disclosures, back taxes, inherited homes, duplexes with tenants and closing from out of town, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Racine 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 Wisconsin can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Wisconsin, and do I need a lawyer?
A licensed Wisconsin closing agent runs the closing. They order the title search, pay off your mortgage and anything else owed on the house from the sale money when the price covers it, and send you the balance once the deed is recorded with the Racine County Register of Deeds. You are free to have an attorney review the agreement first. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my Racine 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 Wisconsin, a foreclosure generally goes through the court. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the court, 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 Wisconsin can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Wisconsin page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Racine house?
We start from what the house would sell for once it was repaired, using recent sales of similar homes nearby. Then we take off the cost of the work it needs and our costs to hold and resell it. The written offer shows the price, the terms and what you should expect to net. It costs nothing to ask, and you do not have to accept it.
Can I sell my Racine 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 in every part of Racine?
Yes. We buy in the Southside Historic District, the north-side cottage blocks, Rubberville, the Melvin Avenue and Orchard Street areas, and everywhere else in Racine's ZIP codes. We also buy in the surrounding communities of Racine County. Where the house sits affects the price, not whether we make an offer.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Racine?
It depends on how title was held and Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 a Racine duplex with tenants still living there?
Yes. You do not need an empty unit or a finished lease. The leases pass to the buyer at closing, and we will want copies of them and the rent details before we set the price.
My Racine house has water damage or needs major work. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. We price the condition into the offer, whether that is a wet basement, a worn-out roof, fire damage or an original kitchen from the 1950s, so nothing has to be repaired or cleaned out first. If an insurance claim is open, mention it on the first call.
I live out of town now. Do I have to come back to Racine to close?
Usually not. In most cases the closing agent can send the documents to you or arrange a mobile notary where you live, and your proceeds are sent to you by wire or check once the sale is complete.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Racine?
Only together with the land. If you own the manufactured home and the lot under it, in Racine or elsewhere in Racine County, we can make an offer on both. A home in a mobile home park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Wisconsin among them. 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 right before you sign.
How much will I walk away with after the sale?
The offer price, less your mortgage payoff, any liens or unpaid taxes, and your share of prorated property taxes and any transfer tax. You pay no agent commission, and we pay the rest of the closing costs. The closing agent gives you a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Racine 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 Racine: 0.3% of the price, imposed on the seller, 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.
