Jana OdellRated 5 out of 5
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.
Gannon HallRated 5 out of 5
I have worked with Eagle Cash Buyers on several deals both personal and investments. They work well with swiftness and professionalism. Their team is friendly and easy to work with!
Christina SouderRated 5 out of 5
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.

Selma Homeowners We Help

Selma sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own a house in one of the older districts near downtown, some are managing a rental or a property they inherited, and some simply do not want to fix, list and wait.

An Older House That Needs Work

Selma has houses from the nineteenth century through the mid-1900s, and any house of that age can have a roof, wiring, plumbing or foundation that is due for attention. You do not need to repair anything before we look. The cost of the work is taken into account when we build the offer, so you skip the contractors and the listing prep.

A Rental With Tenants in Place

You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out before you sell. We can buy a house with tenants living in it. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for the tenants depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will go through it with you.

An Inherited House You Do Not Want to Keep

A house that came to you from a parent or relative can mean a long drive, an empty property and bills to cover while you decide. We can talk through the sale with you at your pace. How title has to be handled depends on the estate and Alabama law, so read our probate answer below and check with an attorney.

Related guide: How to Sell an Inherited House

A Vacant House Sitting Empty

An empty house still costs money each month in taxes, insurance and utilities, and it needs someone to keep an eye on it. If you live outside Selma, that gets harder. Tell us about the house and its condition, and we will explain how a sale would work without you having to be there for every step.

Behind on the Mortgage

If payments have slipped and you are weighing your options, a fast sale is one of them. Whether it makes sense depends on how much is owed, where you are in the process and how much time you have. Our foreclosure answer below explains what a sale can and cannot do, and a housing counselor or attorney can advise you on your own situation.

Major Repairs, Fire or Water Damage

Some houses have damage that a buyer's lender may not finance until it is repaired, which can make a normal listing slow. We look at the house as it stands. Photos help us give you a realistic offer, and we can arrange a walk-through when it is needed.

Related guide: How to Sell a House As Is

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.

What the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs

Sellers in Selma 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 FactorEagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale)Traditional Listing (Agent)Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer)
Agent CommissionNone - $0Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $77,000 sale is about $3,800 to $4,600Usually none, though a service fee often applies
Repairs Before SaleNone - we buy as-isOften paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for moreOften deductions for repairs after the inspection
Alabama Deed TaxA 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 statementThe same tax appliesThe same tax applies
Seller Closing CostsWe 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 contractA service fee set by each platform
Days to CloseMost close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the dateWeeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall throughSet by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas
Showings and InspectionsNo public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreementMultiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspectionUsually a company inspection, often with repair deductions
Financing Contingency RiskNo buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still applyBuyer financing can fall through weeks into the processLow risk, but platform rules apply
Condition RequiredWe buy as-is - no updates neededBuyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollarVaries - 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 Selma, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.

A Real Call About a House

One homeowner who contacted us was calling around to several cash buyers and wanted to know how an offer gets built. Our acquisition manager walked through it on the call: start with the home's market value, subtract the repair work, subtract the costs of reselling the house, and subtract a margin for the buyer. The homeowner pushed back on the number and planned to have a real estate agent check the math, which is a sound thing for any seller to do. The figures were specific to that one house and are not a rate that applies to other properties.

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.

1

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.

2

Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day

We look at the property, recent comparable sales in Selma, 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.

3

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.

Selma Housing Market - What the Numbers Say

Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Selma home at $77,000 in August 2026, 4.3% higher than a year earlier. That figure is a citywide midpoint for all homes, smoothed and seasonally adjusted, so it says little about any one house.

$77,000
Typical Home Value (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026)
+4.3%
Year-Over-Year, Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026

A house's own condition, size and street can put it well above or below a typical value. Two houses a few blocks apart in Selma can be very different properties, which is why we price each address on its own.

A cash offer works differently from a listing price. It starts from what the house is worth in good condition, then subtracts the repair work, the buyer's costs to resell it and a margin for the buyer. In exchange you get a written offer within one business day and a closing date that suits you.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Selma

These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 Selma and Dallas County

We buy houses across Selma and throughout Dallas County, from the older districts around downtown and Water Avenue to the neighborhoods farther out. That includes nearby communities such as Selmont-West Selmont, a census-designated place across the Alabama River from Selma. The exception is mobile homes, which we buy only when the seller owns the land.

Neighborhoods and areas in Selma

Old Town Historic District

The Old Town Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 3, 1978, and Wikipedia's entry for it lists 629 properties in a mix of styles that includes Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Victorian and shotgun houses. The Encyclopedia of Alabama calls it the largest historic district in the state. For a seller, that variety means houses here differ a lot from one to the next, so we look at each address rather than pricing by area.

Riverview Historic District

The Riverview Historic District was added to the National Register on June 28, 1990. It is primarily residential, with Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival and American Craftsman houses. If you own a house here, the style and the block matter to what it can sell for, so a photo and the address are the best way to start.

Icehouse Historic District

The Icehouse Historic District was also added to the National Register on June 28, 1990. Its listing describes small wood-frame and brick residences on tree-lined streets, with Tudor Revival, American Craftsman and Colonial Revival houses from the early twentieth century. For a seller, houses here vary in size, age and upkeep, so we make the offer on the individual house rather than on the district.

Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org and encyclopediaofalabama.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Selma and Dallas County Seller Questions

Selling in Selma: Plain Answers to Read First

How the offer is built, older houses, tenants, vacant homes, mobile homes, liens and probate, answered briefly.

How is the cash offer for my Selma house worked out?

We start with what the house would be worth in good condition, then subtract the repair work it needs, the costs we will face reselling it and a margin. We can walk you through those steps for your address. A cash offer is lower than a full-price listing, and the trade is a written offer within one business day and a closing date you choose.

Should I compare offers before choosing a buyer?

Yes. Get more than one offer and ask each buyer how they arrived at the number, how long closing takes and what comes out of your proceeds. You can also have a real estate agent you trust look over the math.

Do you buy houses in Old Town, Riverview or the other historic districts?

We can look at a house in any part of Selma. The address, the condition and the house itself drive the offer, so send it in and we will tell you what we can do. If you wonder whether local preservation rules affect what a buyer may do with the property, ask the City of Selma or an attorney.

How quickly can a sale close?

You get a written offer within one business day of sending us the address. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and we can go later if you need more time. The closing date is something we settle with you, and it depends on title work and your situation.

Do I need to repair or clean out the house first?

No. We buy houses as they are, and the cost of repairs is part of how we calculate the offer. You can leave furniture or items you do not want, and we can talk about what stays and what goes.

Can you buy a house that has tenants living in it?

Yes. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for the tenants depends on the lease terms. Send us the lease and the rent details, and we will explain how the sale would work before you decide.

I own a vacant house in Selma. Can I still sell it?

Yes. A vacant house is a common situation and we buy them in their current condition. We will ask for the address, a few photos and details on the condition, and we can often handle most of the process by phone and email.

I live out of town. Do I have to come to Selma to sell?

Often not, but it depends on the closing attorney or title company handling the sale and what your documents require. Tell us where you are and we will explain the steps that apply to your sale.

Do you buy mobile homes in Selma?

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. If the home and the land are both yours, send the address and we will take it from there.

Is Eagle Cash Buyers a legitimate company?

Eagle Cash Buyers is BBB accredited and has a 4.5-star rating from 40 Google reviews, and those reviews are from customers across the states where we work, not just Selma. We work in 43 states. Ask for the offer in writing and read the agreement before you sign.

Can I sell my Selma 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 Selma?

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.

Can selling my Selma 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 I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Selma 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.

Who pays closing costs when I sell my Selma 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 Selma: a deed tax charged when the deed is recorded; the contract decides who pays.

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.
