What People Say About Working With Us
Cannot recommend Mr. Oren and his team enough if you have a property or home that you are looking to sell fast. The professionalism and transparency they show is not comparable to other cash home buyers. From the point of initial contact all the way to closing day, the team at Eagle Cash Buyers kept their word with consistent updates throughout the process. Thank you for the integrity you have shown during this time of distress. Highly recommended.
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.
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.
Very accommodating. Made the process easy and not stressful.

Santa Rosa Homeowners We Help
No two Santa Rosa sales look alike. One owner has a house rebuilt after the 2017 Tubbs Fire that they no longer need. Another has a rental in Roseland, a parent's house to settle, or a 1970s ranch home that needs a new roof. Each sale runs a little differently, and selling for cash in California goes more smoothly when the buyer starts from your situation instead of a script.
An Older House Anywhere in Santa Rosa
Plenty of Santa Rosa houses are decades old, and an older house of any address can still carry original wiring, plumbing or a settled foundation. Those are exactly the items a retail buyer's inspector writes up. We look at the house as it stands, put the repair work into the price, and take that work off your list.

A House With Fire or Smoke History
The 2017 Tubbs Fire destroyed about five percent of Santa Rosa's homes, and some owners rebuilt while others still hold a house with smoke, fire or repair history. We buy in that condition. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early, because how the claim is handled goes into the agreement before you sign. What you must disclose is a question for a California real estate attorney.
Inherited a House in Sonoma County
When the owner held title alone, a California probate case or another estate procedure may be needed before a sale can close, while a house in a living trust can often be sold by the successor trustee. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture and all. A probate or estate attorney can confirm which route fits your family.

Behind on the Mortgage
Most California foreclosures run through a trustee sale rather than a court, and once a sale date is set it can arrive quickly. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney can explain your options. If you want to sell, call early and bring every notice you have, so we can usually tell you whether a closing date fits ahead of the deadline.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy occupied rentals, and the lease passes to the buyer at closing. Tell us about the lease terms and the rent on the first call so they go into the written offer.

Living Outside Santa Rosa
If a job or a family move has taken you elsewhere, you do not need to fly back to sell. A mobile notary or a mailed signing package usually does the job, and we arrange it with the escrow officer. Your proceeds are wired to you once the deed records.
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 Santa Rosa 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 $709,800 sale is about $35,500 to $42,600 | 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 | the county transfer tax of $0.55 per $500 (about $1.10 per $1,000) applies, plus a Santa Rosa city transfer tax of $2.00 per $1,000; both are collected at recording and the contract decides who pays (sonomacounty.gov, checked September 2026). 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 Santa Rosa, 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
A seller we spoke with was selling one house while buying the next, with the second purchase depending on the first. When the financing for the next home was pushed back by several months, the seller worried about selling first and having nowhere to go, and was told the timeline could stretch or wait until the next purchase was ready. A signed purchase agreement is something a seller can ask for and show to other real estate professionals as evidence that money is coming; many agents accept it, though not all do.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established California 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 Santa Rosa, 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 agent, 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.
Santa Rosa Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Santa Rosa home at $709,800 in August 2026, about 0.2% lower than a year earlier. That is close to flat. A citywide figure says where prices sit on average and nothing about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
With prices roughly flat, buyers often feel less rush and may lean harder on condition once the inspection report lands. A house that needs a roof, an electrical update or fire-repair work can sit while the price cuts add up.
A cash offer with no buyer mortgage skips the lender's appraisal, which is one common source of delay on a financed sale. You see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you sign, and escrow handles the paperwork.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Santa Rosa
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 Santa Rosa and Sonoma County
We buy across Santa Rosa and throughout Sonoma County, from Railroad Square and downtown to Coffey Park, Fountaingrove, Rincon Valley and Roseland. If your house is in 95401, 95403, 95404 or any other Santa Rosa ZIP code, we cover it.
Neighborhoods and areas in Santa Rosa
Downtown and Railroad Square
Railroad Square is a National Register historic district in downtown Santa Rosa, made up mostly of brick commercial buildings, with fifteen significant structures built between 1888 and 1923. The city's Downtown Station Area Specific Plan, updated in 2020, aims to add housing around Courthouse Square and the SMART station. If you own an older house near downtown, we price it on its own condition and recent nearby sales, not the age of the block.
Coffey Park
Coffey Park lost most of its homes in the 2017 Tubbs Fire and has since been largely rebuilt, so much of the housing there is now recent construction. Whether a house here is rebuilt or original, the written offer rests on that house's own condition and recent nearby sales. You change nothing before we buy.
Fountaingrove
Fountaingrove takes its name from the utopian colony Thomas Lake Harris founded near Santa Rosa in 1875. The modern neighborhood in north Santa Rosa lost well over a thousand homes in the 2017 Tubbs Fire, and rebuilding took years. Houses here range from older to newly rebuilt, and each one is priced on its own condition and recent nearby sales.
Oakmont
Oakmont Village is a senior housing community off Highway 12, founded in 1964 and now home to more than 3,200 houses, some maintained by the owner and some by a sub-association. Its association summary says it is a senior community where, with limited exceptions, a resident must be 55 or older. If your house is in Oakmont, mention it early so we can go over the association's rules with you before you sign.
Rincon Valley
Rincon Valley is a large residential area in northeast Santa Rosa. Much of the housing is single-family tract homes, many of them one-story ranch houses built between the 1960s and the 1990s. A house of that age is priced on its own condition and recent nearby sales, and any updating can be left to the buyer.
Roseland
Roseland, just south of downtown, joined the city of Santa Rosa on November 1, 2017, when the city annexed about 715 acres in five areas after years as unincorporated territory. The housing is a mix of owner-occupied homes and rentals. A Roseland house is priced on its own condition and recent nearby sales, like any other in the city.
Bennett Valley
Bennett Valley stretches southeast from the edge of Santa Rosa toward Glen Ellen along Bennett Valley Road. Much of its housing predates 1980, alongside larger custom houses on parcels of several acres. On a larger parcel, tell us about the whole property, because the lot matters to the offer as much as the house.

California and Sonoma County Seller Questions
Questions Santa Rosa Homeowners Ask Before Signing
Fire history, escrow, back taxes, inherited houses and selling from out of town, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Santa Rosa 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.
How does escrow work when I sell my Santa Rosa house to a cash buyer?
A California escrow or title company acts as the neutral middle party. It holds the funds, orders the title search, pays off your loan and any liens from the proceeds when the price covers them, and wires you what is left once the deed records with the Sonoma County Clerk-Recorder. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my Santa Rosa 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. Our California page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Santa Rosa house?
We start from what the house would sell for once repaired, based on recent sales of similar homes nearby, then take off the cost of the work it needs and what it costs us to hold and resell it. Fire or smoke history is priced in the same way, as one more item on the repair side. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. It costs nothing, and you are under no obligation to accept it.
Do you buy in every part of Santa Rosa?
Yes. We make offers in Coffey Park, Fountaingrove, Rincon Valley, Roseland, Bennett Valley and downtown, and in every Santa Rosa ZIP code, including 95401, 95403 and 95404. Where the house sits affects the price, not whether we will make an offer.
Do I have to fix or clear out anything before selling my Santa Rosa house as-is?
No. Roof work, paint, flooring and years of belongings can all stay as they are, and repair costs come off the price in the written offer. Leave behind whatever you do not want to move. The paperwork you complete for the sale is a separate matter from the condition of the house.
Can I sell my Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa?
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 have to be in Santa Rosa to close?
No. Escrow mails your documents or sends a mobile notary to you, and the money is wired to your account when the sale records.
My Santa Rosa house has fire, smoke 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 so we can go through it with you.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Santa Rosa?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Santa Rosa or elsewhere in Sonoma 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.
What is the trade-off of a cash offer compared with listing my house?
A cash offer is usually lower than what a fully repaired house might fetch on the open market, because we take on the repairs, the holding time and the resale. In exchange you skip showings, repairs, agent commission and a buyer's loan approval, and you set the closing date. The comparison table on this page sets the two routes side by side.
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 on a direct sale to us. Escrow sends a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa: the county transfer tax of $0.55 per $500 (about $1.10 per $1,000) applies, plus a Santa Rosa city transfer tax of $2.00 per $1,000; both are collected at recording and the contract decides who pays (sonomacounty.gov, checked September 2026).
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.
