What People Say About Working With Us
It was a pleasure working with Eagle Cash Buyers, they helped with a complicated journey for the sale of my mother's estate. Thank you Kelly.
I had a great experience and they are wonderful to work with. Very understanding with my goals.
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 received the utmost help from Ms. Kelly with my home. She really went out of her way to help me. I can say she is truly an angel. There are still honest and trustworthy people on this earth.

Richmond Homeowners We Help
Richmond sellers come to us with very different houses and reasons. These are the situations we hear most often.
A House That Needs Work
If the roof, plumbing or kitchen is past its best, you do not have to fix anything first. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, and the offer reflects the repairs it needs. Leave what you do not want to take with you.
An Inherited Richmond Home
Inheriting a house in Contra Costa County can mean sorting out who has the authority to sign before anything can close. Tell us where things stand. We can usually make an offer while the paperwork is being sorted out, and an attorney can confirm what California requires.

A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end. We can consider a house with tenants in it, and the lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy and we will read it with you.

Behind on the Mortgage
If you have fallen behind, time matters. A sale may help you avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time, but we cannot promise to stop or postpone one. Bring every notice you have, and talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney as well.
Moving Soon or Moving Away
A new job, a family move or a house you no longer live in can make the usual listing routine hard. You choose the closing date, and signing at closing can often be arranged to fit your schedule, depending on the closing provider.
Tired of Showings and Waiting
Listing with an agent can bring a higher price when you have both the time to wait and the money to get the house ready. If you are short on either, a cash sale skips the repairs, the showings and the wait for a buyer's loan to be approved.
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 Richmond are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Documentary 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 $601,800 sale is about $30,100 to $36,100 | 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 |
| Documentary Transfer Tax | County tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own. 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 Richmond, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayAn Example From a Real Call
One homeowner who contacted us was comparing cash offers and pushed back on our number. Our acquisition manager walked through the four parts of the offer live on the call: the home's value after repairs, minus the cost of the repairs, minus the cost of reselling it, minus a margin for the company. The homeowner planned to have a real estate agent she knew check the math.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with a title or escrow company who coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing provider 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 Richmond, 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 California 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 provider, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Documentary 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.
Richmond Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
The Zillow Home Value Index put the typical Richmond home at $601,800 in August 2026, 1.7% lower than a year earlier. The index covers all homes in the middle price tier, smoothed and seasonally adjusted. Source: https://www.zillow.com/research/data/.
A typical-value figure describes the city as a whole, not your house. A house that needs repairs usually sells for less than the typical value, and a cash offer is usually lower than what a fully repaired home could reach on the open market. In return you skip the repairs, the showings and the wait.
Here is an illustration only, not a quote. An agent commission is usually between 5% and 6% of the sale price, negotiable and dependent on the agent. On a $601,800 sale that is roughly $30,100 to $36,100. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission when you sell your house directly to us.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Richmond
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 Richmond and Contra Costa County
We look at houses across Richmond and the rest of western Contra Costa County. Two of its neighborhoods are below.
Neighborhoods and areas in Richmond
Point Richmond
Wikipedia describes Point Richmond as near the eastern end of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and its downtown historic district has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978. The article says the area includes historic Victorian houses, condominiums and homes built over the water on piles. For a seller, the mix matters: a condo, a historic house and a waterfront home each call for a different look at the property, so send us the details of yours.
Marina Bay
Wikipedia says the former Richmond Shipyard No. 2 and Inner Harbor were transformed, starting in the late 1980s, into a multiunit residential area now known as Marina Bay. For a seller there, the building type is a practical question: if you own a condo or townhome, tell us about any homeowners association, since association balances are usually settled from the sale proceeds.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Richmond and Contra Costa County Seller Questions
Richmond Cash Sale Questions, Answered Before You Commit to Anything
Repairs, tenants, inherited homes, closing, liens and foreclosure, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Richmond 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 Richmond: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.
Do I need to make repairs or clean out my Richmond house before you buy it?
No. Condition is not what decides whether we can make an offer, and the price we offer reflects the repairs the house needs. Leave anything you do not want to take with you. An offer is not promised on every house, so send the address and a few details and we will tell you where we stand.
Do you buy mobile homes in Richmond?
We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the land and the home together, send us the address and we will review it.
Can you buy a Richmond house that has a tenant living in it?
Yes, if the numbers work. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy of the lease and the rent details so we can review it before we make an offer.
Who handles the closing, and do I need an attorney in California?
At Eagle, the closing is handled by a title or escrow company. In California it is usually an escrow or title company. It checks the title, arranges the payoffs and holds the funds. Eagle is not a law firm, so an attorney can answer legal questions about your situation.
Who needs to be on the call when you present the offer?
At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. A spouse, relative or attorney may make the first contact. Whoever signs the purchase agreement must have the authority to do so.
How can I sell my Richmond house faster?
A direct sale to a cash buyer is usually the quickest route, because there are no showings and no wait for a buyer's mortgage approval. Skipping repairs also saves time. Send us the address and we can usually make a written offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.
Why would I accept a cash offer instead of listing with an agent?
Listing can bring a higher price if you have the time to wait and the money to get the house ready. A cash offer is usually lower than that price, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling. We do not claim to pay the most, so compare written offers and choose what fits.
Can I sell my Richmond 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 Richmond?
It depends on how title was held and California 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 California 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 Richmond 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. California sellers commonly complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in California 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 Richmond 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 California, a home loan secured by a deed of trust is generally foreclosed by a trustee's sale 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 the court, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in California can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our California 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.
