What People Say About Working With Us
We sold our home to Eagle Cash Buyers. We needed to sell to an investor because we could not afford the cost of repairs. Eagle Cash Buyers stuck to the agreed on price even after finding more damage with the house than originally discussed. Oren communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Eagle Cash Buyers for buying our house and helping us move on with our life.

South Lyon Homeowners We Help
South Lyon sellers arrive with very different houses and reasons. Some own a house that needs work, some hold a rental, and some have inherited a relative's home or already moved away. Each of those sales runs a little differently, and the cards below explain how we approach them. See also selling for cash in Michigan.
A House That Needs Work
An old roof, tired plumbing or a kitchen that was last updated decades ago can make buyers with mortgages hesitate once their inspector has been through. At Eagle, we look at the house as it is and build the repairs into our offer, so you do not have to fix anything before you sell. Whether we can make an offer depends on the area, the value and whether the numbers work, not on condition.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
You can usually sell without waiting for a lease to end or asking anyone to move out. If the numbers work, we can make an offer on a house with tenants in it, and the lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, which depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy of the lease and tell us early about any security deposit you hold, so it can be handled in the closing paperwork.

Inherited a House in Oakland County
Whether a court process is needed before an inherited house can be sold depends on how it was titled and what the estate papers say, and a Michigan probate attorney can tell you which applies. If the numbers work, we can make an offer while that is being sorted out. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture and all, so nobody has to clear out the rooms first.

Behind on the Mortgage
Missed payments can lead to a foreclosure notice sooner than many owners expect. An attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor can explain your options. If you decide to sell, a sale that closes can pay off the loan when the price covers what is owed, or when the lender agrees in writing to accept less. Call early, because the sooner we see your notices, the more room there is to plan a closing date around them.
A Fire or Water-Damaged House
A burst pipe, a kitchen fire or a roof that let a storm through can leave a house that many lenders will not finance until it is repaired. If the numbers work, we can make an offer on 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.

Already Moved Away From South Lyon
If a job or a family move has taken you somewhere else, you do not have to keep the house or come back to sell it. A mobile notary or a mailed signing package can often handle the paperwork, and your proceeds are paid at closing. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.

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 South Lyon are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Michigan Transfer Taxes 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 $474,800 sale is about $23,700 to $28,500 | 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 |
| Michigan Transfer Taxes | State and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; customarily the seller's. 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 South Lyon, 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
One homeowner who contacted us was the administrator of an estate in which the local court acted as executor. In that kind of arrangement the court may need to be told the closing date in advance so the sale can be recorded, and the estate's attorney needed the buyer's signature on the contract for that reason. We coordinated with the attorney on the timing. These arrangements vary by jurisdiction, so confirm the procedure locally with an attorney.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with a title or escrow company who coordinates the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing provider 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 South Lyon, 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 Michigan 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 provider, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Michigan Transfer Taxes 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.
South Lyon Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical South Lyon home at $474,800 in August 2026, 2.6% higher than a year earlier. A citywide figure shows where prices sit on average and says nothing about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
A house with an old roof, dated wiring or a tired kitchen usually sells below that figure, because a buyer with a mortgage prices in the work and often asks for repairs or a credit after the inspection.
Selling through an agent usually means paying a commission, often between 5% and 6% of the sale price, which is negotiable and depends on the agent. As an illustration only, on a $474,800 sale that would be roughly $23,700 to $28,500. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission when you sell directly to us.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in South Lyon
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.

South Lyon Seller Questions
Questions a South Lyon Homeowner Should Ask Us First
Disclosure, tenants, closing while living elsewhere, liens and probate, in plain terms.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my South Lyon 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. Michigan sellers commonly complete a Seller Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Michigan can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Michigan, and do I need an attorney?
The closing is handled by a title or escrow company. In Michigan, that provider runs the title search, holds the funds, pays off your loan and any liens from the proceeds when the price covers them, and records the deed before sending you the rest. Probate, foreclosure and title disputes are common reasons to bring an attorney in, and an attorney can tell you whether your sale needs one.
Can selling my South Lyon 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 Michigan, a foreclosure generally proceeds by notice and sale (foreclosure by advertisement) rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the sale process, 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 Michigan 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 Michigan page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
What is the quickest way to sell a house in South Lyon?
A direct sale for cash is usually the quickest route, because there are no showings, no repairs and no wait for a buyer's mortgage approval. If the numbers work, we can make a written offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.
How do you work out a cash offer on a South Lyon house?
We begin with what we think the house would sell for once repaired, judged from recent sales of similar homes nearby. From that we subtract the cost of the work it needs, what it costs us to hold and resell it, and a margin for the company, which is why a cash offer sits below full retail. The written offer shows the price and the terms, there is no obligation to accept it, and you are welcome to compare it with any other offer.
Can I sell my South Lyon 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 South Lyon?
It depends on how title was held and Michigan 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 Michigan 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 in every part of South Lyon?
We can look at houses across South Lyon and the surrounding area. Where the house sits affects the price we can pay, and we can make an offer when the numbers work.
Do I have to be in South Lyon to close?
Usually not. The closing provider can often mail your documents for signing before a notary, or arrange a mobile notary, and your proceeds are paid once the sale closes. We can plan the closing date around your move.
Who needs to be on the call when you present the offer?
At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. A spouse, relative or attorney can make the first contact. Who must sign the deed is a separate question: that is everyone whose signature or authorization is required, and an attorney can confirm it for your situation.
Can you buy a South Lyon house that still has tenants in it?
Often, yes, if the numbers work. You do not need to hand it over empty. Send us the lease and the rent details when you can, and tell us early about any security deposit you hold. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and that depends on the lease terms.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in South Lyon?
We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the home and the land together and the numbers work, we can make an offer on the two.
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.

Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC is a real estate investment company. Homeowners in 43 states, Michigan among them, can request a written cash offer from Eagle. We are rated A+ by the BBB. Check us out however you like, and take the time you need before signing anything.
How much money will I actually walk away with?
The offer price, less your loan payoff, any liens, back taxes or other debts on the property, and your share of prorated property taxes. You pay no agent commission. The closing provider sends a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my South Lyon 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 South Lyon: state and county transfer tax of about 0.86% combined; customarily the seller's, 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.
