What People Say About Working With Us
Kelly and the remainder of the team worked as swiftly as possible to assist me in my property. Would recommend.
Eagle Cash Buyers were the best company that I have worked with. The process took about 6 weeks and was closed. Everything was upfront and I was told what was being done every step of the way. This company is highly recommended.
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.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.

Richmond Homeowners We Help
Richmond owners come to a sale from very different places. Some hold a house built before the First World War that wants a new roof and updated wiring. Others manage a rental in Wayne County, are settling a relative's estate, or have a vacant house they no longer want to carry. If you are weighing selling for cash in Indiana, here is how we handle the situations we hear about most.
An Older House That Needs Work
Richmond has a lot of houses from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and a house of that age can need a new roof, rewiring, plumbing or foundation work. A buyer using a mortgage may not be able to close until it is done. We buy it as it stands and price the work into the written offer, so you hire no one first.
Inherited a House in Wayne County
If the owner held title alone, a court may need to appoint someone with 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 we can wait while the paperwork is sorted out. An Indiana probate attorney can tell you which route applies.

Behind on the Mortgage
In Indiana, a foreclosure goes through the courts, so a lawsuit and court dates come before a sheriff's sale, and you can often still sell the house yourself before then. An attorney or HUD-approved housing counselor can explain where you stand and what the dates mean. If the price covers what you owe, a sale that closes first pays the loan from the proceeds; if it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less. Call early, because the sooner we see the notices, the more room there is to set a closing date ahead of them.
A Rental You Are Finished With
You do not have to wait for a lease to run out or ask anyone to move. We buy occupied houses. A sale generally does not end an existing lease: the buyer usually takes over as landlord and the tenants stay on under the lease's terms. An Indiana landlord-tenant attorney can confirm how your lease is affected. If the house is empty between tenants, we buy it that way too.

Fire or Water Damage
A kitchen fire, a burst pipe or a roof that let water into the ceilings 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 gets written into the agreement before you sign.

A Vacant House or a Move Out of Town
An empty house still costs money each month in taxes, insurance and utilities, and it needs someone to check on it. If work or family has taken you away from Richmond, you do not need to drive back to sell. A mobile notary or a mailed signing package usually does the job, and we set that up with the closing agent. 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.
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 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 $164,715 sale is about $8,200 to $9,900 | 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 |
| Transfer Tax | Indiana has no state transfer tax; recording fees still apply. Anything charged is shown on your settlement statement before closing | The same rules apply | The same rules apply |
| Seller Closing Costs | We pay the closing costs. 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.
See What We'd PayAn Example From a Real Call
A seller we spoke with was administering an estate where, as the seller described it, the local court was the executor of record. In that case the court had to be told the closing date in advance so the transaction could be recorded, and the estate's attorney needed the buyer's signature on the contract so that notice could be given. Our part was to coordinate with the estate's attorney on those steps, so the administrator did not have to manage them alone. Arrangements like this vary by jurisdiction, so confirm what applies to your situation locally.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Indiana 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 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 Indiana 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. Every cost is 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
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Richmond home at $164,715 in August 2026, 6.6% above a year earlier. A citywide figure shows where prices sit in the middle of the market and says nothing about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
Even when prices are rising, buyers look hard at condition. A house with a worn roof, old wiring or a settled foundation can sit on the market while the inspection report and the repair requests come back.
A buyer using a mortgage also brings an appraiser and a lender, and repairs the appraisal calls for can hold up the loan until they are done. A cash offer with no buyer mortgage skips the lender's appraisal. You see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you sign, and the closing agent handles the rest.

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.

Neighborhoods and areas in Richmond
Depot District
Centered on 8th Street, the Depot District grew up around Richmond's railroad station, which opened in 1902; the National Register district around it dates from about 1853 to 1915. The neighborhood association's website describes a mix of detached houses and duplexes. Whatever the layout, we make the offer on the house as it stands today.
Old Richmond
The Old Richmond Historic District lies just east of the river and holds 212 contributing buildings developed between about 1816 and 1925, in Greek Revival, Italianate and Gothic Revival styles. It was listed on the National Register in 1974 and enlarged in 2003. Houses within a district differ from one to the next, so the offer starts from your own house and recent nearby sales, not from its street.
Starr Historic District
This mostly residential district, on the National Register since 1974, has 102 contributing buildings developed between about 1853 and 1915, in Greek Revival, Italianate and Second Empire styles. It reaches west to east from the alley near 10th Street to 16th Street, and includes the Wayne County Historical Museum. Because the houses here span Greek Revival to Second Empire and more than sixty years of building, we price each one on its own condition and recent nearby sales.
Reeveston Place
Reeveston Place was platted in 1911 on land that had belonged to the family of Mark Reeves, and its 218 contributing buildings include Craftsman cottages alongside Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Ranch houses. It is bounded by South B Street, South 16th Street, South 23rd Street and South E Street, and was listed on the National Register in 2003. With that mix of styles, the offer is based on your own house and recent sales of similar ones nearby, not on a neighborhood average.
East Main Street and Glen Miller Park
The East Main Street-Glen Miller Park Historic District covers both sides of East Main Street from 18th to 30th Street and the park east of 30th Street, with buildings from about 1830 to 1937 in Italianate, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Bungalow styles. Part of it is the Linden Hill conservation district, where the city's Historic Preservation Commission reviews some exterior work. A buyer planning exterior changes to a house in Linden Hill would need to check what the commission reviews; selling to us, you change nothing first.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including depotdistrictneighborhood.org, en.wikipedia.org, visitrichmond.org and richmondindiana.gov. Conditions vary from house to house.

Indiana and Wayne County Seller Questions
Wayne County Owners Ask These Before Selling a Richmond House
Disclosure forms, back taxes and liens, inherited houses, sheriff's sale notices, fire damage, vacant houses and mobile homes on owned land, answered briefly.
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. A real estate attorney licensed in Indiana can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Indiana, and do I need a lawyer?
An Indiana title company runs the closing. It searches the title, collects the funds, pays off your loan and any liens from the proceeds when the price covers them, and sends you the balance at or shortly after closing. Indiana does not generally require a lawyer for a routine sale, though you may hire one. Probate, foreclosure and title disputes are where one is most worth having. You choose the closing date, and most of ours fall between 21 and 42 days.
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 Indiana, 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 usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Indiana can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Indiana page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Richmond house?
We start from what the house would sell for once it is repaired, using recent sales of similar homes nearby in Richmond and Wayne County. From that we subtract the cost of the work it needs, what it costs us to hold and resell it, and our margin. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. Getting it costs nothing, and you are under no obligation to accept.
Do you buy houses in the Depot District, Old Richmond and the other historic neighborhoods?
Yes. We look at houses across Richmond, including the Depot District, Old Richmond, the Starr Historic District, Reeveston Place and the blocks along East Main Street, in 47374 and every other ZIP code in the city, and elsewhere in Wayne County. Where the house sits affects the price we can offer, not whether we will look at it.
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 Indiana 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 Indiana 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 need to make repairs before selling my Richmond house?
No. We buy Richmond houses in whatever condition they are in, including a worn roof, old wiring or plumbing, foundation problems and deferred maintenance. The cost of that work comes off the written offer, so you can skip the contractor calls and leave the patching, painting and clearing out to us.
My Richmond house has fire or water damage. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. We price fire, smoke and water damage into the offer, so you do not need to repair or clear out damaged rooms first. If an insurance claim is open, mention it on the first call.
Can I sell a vacant house in Richmond?
Yes. An empty house is one of the situations we buy most often, and you do not need to stage it or clear it out. Tell us on the first call if it has been empty for a while or if any utilities are off, so the offer reflects what we will find when we walk through.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Richmond?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Richmond or elsewhere in Wayne 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.
How does selling to Eagle differ from selling to an iBuyer?
iBuyers tend to focus on newer, updated houses that their automated pricing handles well, and they take repair costs off the price after their own inspection. We also buy older houses that need work, and the written offer shows what we will pay before you sign. The comparison table on this page sets both next to a traditional listing.
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?
Homeowners in 43 states, Indiana among them, can request a written cash offer from Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. Our founder, Oren Sofrin, reviewed the page you are reading.
How much 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. Indiana has no state transfer tax. 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 Richmond house to you?
We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, 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: Indiana has no state transfer tax; recording fees still apply.
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.
