What People Say About Working With Us
Quick and efficient! I highly recommend!
Excellent, amazing group, JP is first class. I would recommend Eagle cash buyers anytime.
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.
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.

Staten Island Homeowners We Help
Staten Island sellers arrive with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older house they no longer want to repair, some own a two-family with tenants, and some have inherited a home and live far away.
An Older House That Needs Work
Wikipedia notes that the St. George and Stapleton Heights historic districts feature large Victorian houses. An older house can carry years of deferred repairs, and fixing them before a listing means paying contractors first. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, so you can sell it as it stands and skip the repair bills and the showings.
A Two-Family With Tenants in Place
If you own a house with a tenant or two, you do not have to wait for a lease to end before you ask for an offer. We can evaluate a rented house as it is. What happens to a lease at closing generally passes to the buyer and depends on the lease terms, and the purchase agreement spells it out before you sign.

An Inherited House
Some families inherit a Staten Island house and live elsewhere, so every trip back is a cost. We can evaluate the house and make an offer while the estate paperwork is being sorted out. Closing needs someone with legal authority to sign, so an estate attorney licensed in New York should confirm who that is.

A Move on a Deadline
A job change, a family move or a purchase somewhere else can put a date on your sale. At Eagle, you choose the closing date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time, so the sale can follow your move instead of the other way around.
Back Taxes or a Lien on the House
A sale can often go ahead with unpaid property taxes or a recorded lien on the house. These can often be paid from the sale proceeds at closing when there is enough equity, and the title search shows what has to be cleared. Tell us what you know early so the closing professional can look into it.

A Rental You Want to Exit
Some owners are tired of managing a rental, repairs and turnover. A direct sale ends that without a listing, open houses or a wait for a buyer's mortgage approval. We make a written offer based on the house, and you decide whether it fits.
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 Staten Island are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the New York 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 $300,000 sale is about $15,000 to $18,000 | 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 |
| New York Transfer Tax | New York State charges its own Real Estate Transfer Tax of $2 for each $500 of the price, paid by the seller (tax.ny.gov, checked October 2026). New York City adds its Real Property Transfer Tax: for a one- to three-family house, condominium unit or cooperative apartment, the rate is 1% of the price if it is $500,000 or less and 1.425% if it is more than $500,000 (nyc.gov, checked October 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 Staten Island, 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's first call with us started with a family member on the phone, while the inquiry was in the owner's name. Our acquisition manager asked whether the owner was able to take part, and a three-way call was scheduled for later that day so the owner could join. At Eagle, the owner takes part in the conversation before anything moves forward. Our acquisition manager described that first call as a basic one, meant to learn about the property and its condition.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing

Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with New York 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 Staten Island, 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 New York 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 New York 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.
How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Staten Island
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 Staten Island and Richmond County
We look at houses across Staten Island, from the North Shore around St. George to the South Shore communities, and the borough is coextensive with Richmond County. The four areas below show the range of housing you will find, and we do not limit the list to them.
Neighborhoods and areas in Staten Island
St. George
St. George sits at the northeastern tip of the island, where the Staten Island Ferry, the Staten Island Railway and nearly all island bus routes meet at the St. George Terminal. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the St. George Historic District in 1994, and Wikipedia describes its Victorian-era houses. For a seller, a house in a designated district may have extra rules for exterior changes, so ask the city about your address.
Stapleton Heights
The St. Paul's Avenue-Stapleton Heights Historic District, on the North Shore, is described by Wikipedia as having large Victorian houses. As in St. George, a house in a designated historic district may have extra rules for exterior changes, so ask the city about your address. We can evaluate such a house as it stands, so you do not need to modernize it before you ask for an offer.
Tottenville
Tottenville is the southernmost neighborhood in New York City and the end of the line for the Staten Island Railway, where the water borders it on three sides. Wikipedia notes its strong Victorian architectural heritage. If you own a house here, we can evaluate it whether it is an older house or a newer townhouse.
Great Kills
Great Kills is a South Shore neighborhood on Great Kills Harbor, next to Great Kills Park, which is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area. It has a Staten Island Railway station at Giffords Lane. If you own a house in Great Kills, you can send the address and pick the closing date that suits you.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Staten Island Seller Questions
Before You Sign on Staten Island: Plain Answers to Seller Questions
Two-families, older houses, inherited homes, liens, closing costs and the closing date, answered briefly.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Staten Island home for cash?
No. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, so you can leave the repairs and the cleaning to us. The offer reflects the condition of the house. We do not promise to buy every property, and whether we make an offer depends on the area, the value and the numbers.
Do you buy two-family houses with tenants on Staten Island?
We can evaluate a two-family house with tenants in place. You do not need to wait for a lease to end. What happens to a lease generally passes to the buyer at closing and depends on the lease terms, so tell us about the tenants and the leases when you send the address.
Which Staten Island neighborhoods do you buy in?
We look at houses across the island, from St. George and Stapleton on the North Shore to Great Kills and Tottenville on the South Shore. Whether we can make an offer depends on the property and the numbers. Send the address and we reply with a written offer within one business day.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Staten Island 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 Staten Island: New York State charges its own Real Estate Transfer Tax of $2 for each $500 of the price, paid by the seller (tax.ny.gov, checked October 2026). New York City adds its Real Property Transfer Tax: for a one- to three-family house, condominium unit or cooperative apartment, the rate is 1% of the price if it is $500,000 or less and 1.425% if it is more than $500,000 (nyc.gov, checked October 2026), subject to the purchase agreement.
How fast can you close on a Staten Island house?
Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on the title work, any payoffs and the closing provider, which is a New York attorney or title company.
Do you buy mobile homes on Staten Island?
We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the house and the lot together, send us the address and we will take a look.
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 for you, and the numbers are then shared with the owners.
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 attorney or title company used for the transaction.
Can I sell my Staten Island 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 Staten Island?
It depends on how title was held and New York 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 New York 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 Staten Island 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. New York sellers commonly complete a Property Condition Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in New York can confirm which disclosures apply.
Can selling my Staten Island 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 New York, 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 New York 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 attorney or title company close fast. Our New York page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
What happens to a cash offer if the house is worth more fixed up?
A cash offer is usually lower than the price a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling. In return you skip the repairs, the showings and the wait. If listing would net you more and you have both the time and the money to prepare the house, we can usually say so.
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.
