What People Say About Working With Us
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.
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.
Allan was very helpful and the process was fast and easy. I highly recommend.
Eagle Cash Buyers did a great job, and responded quickly. Thank you.

Scottsboro Homeowners We Help
Scottsboro sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home near the center of town, some a lake-area house that sits empty part of the year, and some are simply ready to move on without months of showings.
An Older House That Needs Work
Older Scottsboro houses can carry the wear of their age: original wiring, aging roofs, worn floors. You do not need to fix any of it before selling to us. Tell us what you know about the condition and we price the house as it stands.
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 houses with tenants in them. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though what happens next depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and the rent details along with the address.

A Vacant or Second Home Near the Lake
A house that sits empty still costs you taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep, and empty houses are hard to show from a distance. If you own a lake-area house you rarely use, or a vacant one you inherited, we can work with you remotely by phone and email, and the closing can usually be arranged so you do not have to travel; the closing attorney or title company will confirm how you sign.

An Inherited House You Do Not Want to Keep
An inherited house can mean out-of-town heirs, a full house to clear and a to-do list nobody wants. We can look at the property and make an offer while the estate paperwork is sorted out. We cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign, so an attorney should confirm who that is.

Behind on Payments, Taxes or Repairs
Falling behind on the mortgage or property taxes adds pressure, and every month narrows your choices. Reach out early. Back taxes and many liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing when there is enough equity, and we will tell you plainly whether a sale looks workable in the time you have.
You Want a Certain Date, Not a Long Listing
Listing means photos, showings, a buyer's financing and inspection, and a wait with no fixed end. A cash sale trades some of that for a date you can plan around. You pick the closing date within our usual 21 to 42 days, or later if you need it, so a move, a new job or a purchase elsewhere can line up.
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 Scottsboro are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Alabama Deed 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 $217,000 sale is about $10,800 to $13,000 | 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 |
| Alabama Deed Tax | A deed tax charged when the deed is recorded; the contract decides who pays. 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 Scottsboro, 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
One homeowner who contacted us had back taxes owed on the house, a new home already bought and a closing date he needed to hit. He also had a higher offer from someone else, and he decided to go with us because he wanted a fast, certain sale that fit his move. As it was explained to him, the title company could pay the back taxes directly from the sale proceeds at closing, so he did not have to clear the balance first. Whether that works depends on the proceeds covering it.
We are not saying this was an Alabama homeowner, 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 Alabama 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 Scottsboro, 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 Alabama 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 Alabama Deed 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.
Scottsboro Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Scottsboro home at $217,000 in August 2026, 1.7% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition or location of any one house. A well-kept house near the lake and an older one that needs a new roof will not sit at the same number, so treat the figure as background rather than a price for your home.
Selling the traditional way can bring a higher price when a house is in good shape and you can wait through showings and a buyer's financing. A cash sale suits sellers who value a fixed timeline, a house sold as-is and no repair list. We are happy to give you our offer to compare.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Scottsboro
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.

College Hill Historic District
The College Hill Historic District, on College Avenue, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1983. It is described as the first subdivision platted in Scottsboro and holds 14 houses, ten built between 1890 and 1929, in Vernacular, Classical Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman and English Cottage styles.

Goose Pond and the Lake Guntersville Shore

Scottsboro and Jackson County Seller Questions
Cash Sale in Scottsboro: What Sellers Should Know First
Older houses, lake homes, tenants, vacant property, closing from a distance, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Scottsboro 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 Scottsboro: a deed tax charged when the deed is recorded; the contract decides who pays.
How do you decide on the cash offer for my Scottsboro house?
We look at the address, the condition you describe and the repairs the house is likely to need. You get a written offer within one business day of sending the details. It is an offer, not an obligation. You can compare it with a listing and take the time you need to decide.
Can I sell my Scottsboro 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 Scottsboro?
It depends on how title was held and Alabama 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 Alabama 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 Scottsboro 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 Alabama 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 Scottsboro 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 Alabama, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust 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 sale process, 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 Alabama can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Alabama page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Scottsboro?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot, because there is no land to convey. If you own both the home and the land in Jackson County, send us the address and tell us about the home's condition and any liens.
Can you buy a house that has tenants living in it?
Yes. You do not need to end the lease or ask the tenants to leave first. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means in practice depends on the lease terms. Send us the lease, the monthly rent and the deposit amount so our offer reflects the situation.
I own a vacant or lake-area house I do not live in. Can I sell without traveling?
Often, yes. We handle the offer and paperwork by phone and email. The closing is arranged with the title company or closing attorney, and we will explain how signing works for your situation. Tell us who has a key, whether utilities are on and whether anyone is using the house.
How long does it take to close on a Scottsboro house?
Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days. If you need more time, say so up front and we can set a later date in the agreement. Title work, an unpaid tax bill or an estate that is not yet settled can add time, and we will tell you what we see as early as we can.
Do I need to clean out the house or make repairs first?
No repairs are needed, and you do not have to stage or show the house. Please take personal items and anything you want to keep. If you plan to leave furniture or appliances, tell us early so it can be written into the agreement instead of being a surprise on closing day.
Do you buy houses in College Hill, around Goose Pond and elsewhere in Scottsboro?
We buy across the city and Jackson County, in any condition, except mobile homes not on owned land. That includes older homes on and around College Avenue and the lake-area communities near Goose Pond. Send the address and we confirm whether we can make an offer.
Should I sell for cash or list with an agent?
It depends on your priorities. If the house is in good shape and you can wait through showings and a buyer's financing, a listing may bring a higher price. If you want a fixed timeline, no repairs and a written offer within one business day, a cash sale may fit better. Compare both before deciding.
