What People Say About Working With Us
Experienced and trustworthy! It has been great to work with Oren from Eagle Cash Buyers.
I had fallen behind on my mortgage and was in the pre foreclosure stage. The property was in a completely different state from where I lived. Eagle Cash Buyers completely saved my peace of mind and sanity. From the initial contact throughout the entire process they, especially Kelly, have been nothing but professional and informative.
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.

Rome Homeowners We Help
Rome owners sell for different reasons. One has an older house that has never had its wiring redone. Another owns a double with a tenant upstairs and is tired of managing it, or has a parent's house to settle from another state. Each of those sales runs a little differently, and selling a house for cash in New York is simpler when the buyer starts from your details instead of a script. If the house is in Marcy instead, we buy there too.
An Older Rome House
Plenty of Rome houses were built in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, in the historic district north of downtown and in other parts of the city. A house that age, wherever it stands, can still have fuse-box or knob-and-tube wiring, cast-iron drains, an old boiler or a foundation that has shifted, and a buyer's inspector will look for all of them. We price the work into our offer, so none of it has to be done before you sell.
A Double or Rental With a Tenant
If one unit is rented, you do not have to wait for the lease to end or ask anyone to move. We buy occupied houses, and the lease and the security deposit pass to the buyer at closing, whether that is us or a partner we assign the contract to under the agreement. Send the rents and the lease end dates with the address, and let your attorney confirm what New York tenant rules mean for your units.

Fire, Smoke or Water Damage
A kitchen fire, a pipe that split inside a wall in a January freeze or a roof leak that came through a ceiling can leave a house many lenders will not finance until it is repaired. We buy it in that state. 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.

Inherited a House in Oneida County
When a parent held the house in their own name, the estate usually has to go through Surrogate's Court before anyone can sign a deed, while a house held in a trust may skip that step. We can look at the house and agree terms while the court paperwork moves, then close once someone has the authority to sign. Furniture and belongings can usually stay if you like, as set out in the agreement, and an estate attorney can confirm which route applies to you.

Behind on Mortgage Payments
A New York lender has to go through the courts to foreclose, so the process can take a long time, but interest, late charges and legal fees keep building while it does. Talk to an attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor first, then call us to see whether our timeline fits yours. If the price covers the loan payoff, any other liens and your share of closing costs, those are paid at closing and what is left is yours. If it does not, the sale can usually go ahead only if you cover the gap or the lenders agree in writing to take less.
Already Moved Away From Rome
If a job, military orders or family have taken you somewhere else, you do not need to drive back to sell. Your attorney can usually arrange a mailed signing package or a mobile notary, and the proceeds are sent to you once the sale closes. Tell us early that you are out of town so the closing date is set with that in mind.

Get My Cash OfferWhat the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs
Sellers in Rome are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the New York 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 $214,475 sale is about $10,700 to $12,900 | 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 York Transfer Tax | State rate $4.00 per $1,000 (0.40%). 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 Rome, 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
Before anything moves forward, we want the person who owns the house on the call. When a homeowner's husband phoned about her inquiry, our acquisition manager noticed it was in her name and asked whether she was able to take part, and a three-way call was set up for when he got home. That first call was only about learning the property's details and condition, not about an offer.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with New York 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 Rome, 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 York 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 York 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.
Rome Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Rome home at $214,475 in August 2026, 6.4% higher than a year earlier. That is a citywide middle-of-the-market figure. It shows where a typical home's price sits and says nothing about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
When typical values are climbing, owners expect their own number to climb with them. A house with an aging roof, old wiring or a settled foundation is priced against its condition, though, and a buyer's inspection report tends to pull the price back down, sometimes after weeks on the market.
Financing adds another step. A buyer using an FHA or VA loan brings an appraiser who checks the house against that program's minimum property standards, and peeling paint, a failing roof or a missing handrail can hold up the loan until the seller fixes them. A cash offer with no buyer mortgage skips the lender's appraisal. You see the price, the terms and the date in writing before you sign, and your attorney handles the closing.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Rome
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 Rome and Oneida County
We buy across Rome, from the streets around Fort Stanwix and the historic district north of downtown to East Rome and the rest of the city, and in nearby places such as Lake Delta, Whitesboro and Oriskany. If your house is in the 13440 ZIP code, we cover it.
Neighborhoods and areas in Rome
Rome Residential Historic District
This district just north of downtown, roughly from West Cedar Street to West Liberty Street, is listed on the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places. It has 952 parcels and 839 contributing primary buildings, mostly single-family and multi-family houses built between about 1840 and 1970, the majority in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The city says the listing adds no new regulations, so a house here is priced on its own condition and recent nearby sales, and you change nothing before selling to us.
Fort Stanwix Area
The streets around Fort Stanwix National Monument, including West Dominick, Liberty and Oneida streets, hold a mix of apartments, doubles and larger single-family houses from the Victorian era and the early twentieth century. The fort itself was reconstructed and opened in 1976. If you own a double here with a tenant in one unit, we can buy it with the tenant in place.
East Rome and East Dominick Street
East Dominick Street grew into a main street for the East Rome neighborhoods, and the area around it, where the former General Cable complex meets East Rome, is the focus of a $10 million state Downtown Revitalization Initiative award. The plan is to prepare long-vacant sites for new housing and shops. A plan says nothing about one house's price, so we make our offer on your house as it stands today.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including romenewyork.com, fortstanwixromeneighborhood.org and esd.ny.gov. Conditions vary from house to house.

New York and Oneida County Seller Questions
What Rome Owners Ask Before Selling, From Doubles to Older Houses
Attorneys at closing, doubles with tenants, the historic district, estates, fire damage and closing from out of town, answered briefly.
Do I need my own attorney to sell my Rome house for cash?
In New York the seller usually has a real estate attorney who reviews the contract and represents them at closing, and we encourage that on a cash sale too. Your attorney works for you, not for us. Our New York page explains how a sale generally runs in the state, and your attorney can confirm what applies to your house. The purchase agreement sets out who pays each closing cost, so ask your attorney how their own fee is handled before you sign.
How is the cash offer on my Rome house worked out?
We start from what the house would likely sell for once repaired, based on recent sales of similar houses nearby. From that we take off the cost of the work it needs, the costs of holding and reselling it, and a margin for us. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. It costs nothing to get one, and you do not have to accept it. Put a local agent's realistic price, less commission and repairs, beside our offer and compare.
Can I sell my Rome 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 still have to make disclosures if I sell my Rome 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. New York sellers commonly complete a Property Condition Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in New York can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can selling my Rome 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 York, 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 New York can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our New York page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Rome?
It depends on how title was held and New York 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 York 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 you buy houses in every part of Rome?
Yes. We buy around Fort Stanwix, in the Rome Residential Historic District north of downtown, in East Rome and across the rest of the city, in ZIP code 13440. We also look at houses in nearby places such as Lake Delta, Whitesboro, New York Mills, Yorkville and Oriskany. Where the house sits affects the price; it does not rule out an offer.
Do you buy a double with a tenant in it?
Yes. A sale does not end the lease on its own. The lease and the security deposit pass to the buyer at closing, whether that is us or a partner we assign the contract to under the agreement, and your tenant keeps their rights under New York law. Send the rents and the lease end dates for each unit with the address, and let your attorney confirm the details.
My house is in the Rome Residential Historic District. Does that change the sale?
Not much. The city says properties in the district are not subject to any new regulations because of the listing, and we buy the house as it is, so you do not need to apply for anything before you sell. The listing can matter to a buyer planning a renovation, because New York has historic tax credit programs with their own approval steps. Ask the city or your attorney whether your address falls inside the district.
My Rome 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.
How fast can I sell my Rome house?
The written offer comes within one business day of getting your details. Most closings then take 21 to 42 days, or longer if you need more time, and you choose the date. The title search and your attorney's review set most of that pace, and an estate or a payoff can add time.
Is selling for cash a good idea for my Rome house, or should I list it?
It depends on the house and on your calendar. If it is updated, in good repair and you have no deadline, listing with a local agent may well net you more than a cash offer, ours included. A cash sale makes more sense for a house that needs work, an estate, a rental with a tenant or a sale that has to happen by a set date. Get both numbers in writing and compare them.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes around Rome?
Only together with the land. If you own the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Rome or elsewhere in Oneida County, we can make one offer on both. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
How is selling to you different from selling to an iBuyer?
iBuyers mostly look for newer houses in good condition and take repair costs off the price after their own inspection. We also buy older houses, damaged houses and rentals with tenants in place, and you see what we will pay in writing before you sign. The comparison table on this page sets both beside a traditional listing.
How do I know a cash buyer is legitimate?
Ask for the company's name, how long it has operated and reviews you can check for yourself, and ask to see proof of funds. Have your own attorney read the contract before you sign. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, and we welcome your attorney's review of the agreement.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Homeowners in 43 states, New York 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. We either buy the house ourselves or assign the contract to a partner investor, and the agreement discloses that right before you sign.
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. You pay no agent commission, and we pay the closing costs, apart from your share of any transfer tax and your own attorney's fee, unless the agreement says we cover it. Your attorney can walk you through the settlement figures before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Rome 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 Rome: state rate $4.00 per $1,000 (0.40%), 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.
