Sell Your House Fast in Shaker Heights, OH. No Repairs First, Your Closing Day.

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. Ohio sellers commonly complete a Residential Property Disclosure Form, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Ohio can confirm which disclosures apply.

The City of Shaker Heights says sellers of residential property submit a Point of Sale application online before entering into a contract with a buyer. The city then schedules an inspection of the interior and exterior, and the seller receives either a Certificate of Compliance or a Certification of Inspection if violations are found. Rules can change, so confirm the steps with the city's Building and Housing department. Tell us on the first call whether you have started the process, and an attorney can confirm what applies to your sale.

A title or escrow company handles it. It runs the title search, holds the funds, pays off your loan and other items from the proceeds when the price covers them, and sends you the balance at closing. You are free to bring your own attorney, and a probate matter, a foreclosure or a title problem is where one is worth having. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.

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 Ohio, 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 Ohio can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our Ohio page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

We start from what the house could sell for once it is repaired, based on recent sales of similar homes nearby. Then we take off the cost of the repair work, the costs of holding and reselling the house, and a margin so the company can make something. The written offer shows the price and the terms, and you are under no obligation to accept it.

We look at houses across the city, including Malvern, Moreland, Mercer, Sussex, Fernway, Lomond, Onaway, Boulevard and Ludlow. We can usually say whether we can make an offer once we have the address. Where the house sits affects the price, and some houses are not a fit.

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.

It depends on how title was held and Ohio 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 Ohio 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.

Yes. We buy occupied houses, so you do not need to wait for a lease to end. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, but it depends on the lease terms. Bring the lease, the rent and the security deposit amount to the first call.

No. You can sign in person or remotely. The title or escrow company usually mails your documents or sends a mobile notary to you, and your proceeds are paid at closing.

We can usually make an offer if the numbers work. 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, because how the claim is handled goes into the agreement before you sign.

We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own both the home and the land, send the address and we can usually say whether we can make an offer on the two together.

iBuyers tend to focus on newer houses in good condition and take repair costs off the price after their own inspection. Eagle Cash Buyers buys houses in any condition when the numbers work, and the agreement tells you before you sign whether we buy the house ourselves or assign the contract. The comparison table on this page sets it next to a traditional listing.

Check the company's BBB profile, ask for the offer in writing and read it before you sign anything. Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC is registered in Ohio and is BBB accredited.

The offer price, less your loan payoff, any liens or back taxes, your share of any transfer tax, and prorations such as property taxes up to the closing date. You pay no agent commission on a direct sale, and we pay the other closing costs. The title or escrow company prepares a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.

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.
