What People Say About Working With Us
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.
Eagle Cash Buyers did a great job, and responded quickly. Thank you.
Quick and efficient! I highly recommend!
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.

Stillwater Homeowners We Help
Stillwater sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home near downtown, some are handling an inherited property, and some live out of state. Here are the situations we hear about most.
An Older House That Needs Work
Stillwater has a large stock of homes built before World War II, and the city's 2008 comprehensive plan counted roughly 776 of them as potentially eligible for its voluntary Heirloom Homes program. Older houses can come with original wiring, plumbing, windows or roofs. We buy them as they are, so you do not need to repair, repaint or clean before you send the address.
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. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what happens next depends on the lease terms. Tell us the rent, the lease end date and whether the tenants pay on time, and we will factor that into the offer.

An Inherited House
A house left to you can become a burden quickly, especially if you live in another state. Tell us who is on the title and where the estate stands. Whether a court process is needed depends on the situation, so a Minnesota attorney should confirm the steps. We can work around the timeline you need.

Selling Before a Move or Relocation
A job change, a move closer to family or a downsize can leave you owning a house you cannot keep showing. A sale to us has no showings and no open houses. You pick the closing date, and most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.

Mortgage or Tax Pressure
If payments have slipped, a sale can change your options, but only the numbers show how much. We make an offer, and the title company shows what is owed at closing. Your mortgage payoff, back taxes and any other liens on the property are paid from the proceeds at closing, if the price covers them. If it does not, the title company will show the gap before you sign. For the legal details, see our Minnesota page or ask an attorney.
A House That Is Hard to List
Some homes have a dated kitchen, a deferred roof, a layout buyers pass over or a long list of small fixes. Listing means preparing the house, scheduling showings and waiting on a buyer's financing and inspection. A cash sale skips those steps, though a listing may bring a higher price.
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 Stillwater are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Minnesota 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, 5% on a $454,800 sale is $22,740 | 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 |
| Minnesota Deed Tax | about 0.33% of the net price (slightly higher in a few counties); 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, back taxes and any other debts against the property are paid from your proceeds, as in any sale | 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 Stillwater, 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's husband called us first because she had asked him to make first contact. Our acquisition manager noticed the inquiry was in her name, asked whether she was able to take part, and scheduled a three-way call for once he was back home. Our policy is that the owner takes part before anything moves forward. The record ends with that follow-up call scheduled, so there is no offer or outcome to report.
We are not saying this was a Minnesota 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 established Minnesota closing agents who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing agent 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 Stillwater, 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 Minnesota 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 agent, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Minnesota 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.
Stillwater Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Stillwater home at $454,800 in August 2026, 3.9% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A dated house, a house with deferred repairs or a rental with tenants can sell for a different amount than the typical home.
Listing can take time, and the buyer's financing and inspection can change the terms. A cash offer from us is based on your house as it stands, with no repairs on your side. Send the address and we will tell you what we can offer.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Stillwater
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.

Stillwater and Washington County Seller Questions
Questions Stillwater Owners Ask Before Accepting an Offer
Older houses, tenants, mobile homes, the first call, liens and probate, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Stillwater 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 Stillwater: about 0.33% of the net price (slightly higher in a few counties); customarily the seller's, subject to the purchase agreement.
How does a cash offer on a Stillwater house work?
You send the address and a few details about the house. We review them and put a written offer in front of you within one business day. If you accept, a title company handles the closing, and you pick the date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.
Do I need to repair or clean the house before selling to you?
No. We buy houses as they are, including older homes with worn finishes, dated systems or deferred repairs. The condition is one of the things we weigh in the offer, so it helps to tell us about it plainly when you send the address.
Do you buy mobile homes in Stillwater?
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 you own the home and the land together, send the address and we will take a look.
Do you buy older and historic homes near downtown Stillwater?
Yes. Stillwater has many homes built long before modern codes, and we buy them as they are. If you are not sure whether local historic review applies to your property, the city's planning staff can tell you. That is not something we decide for you.
What happens on the first phone call?
The first call is basic. We ask about the property, its condition and your situation. There is no offer on the spot and nothing to sign.
Can I sell if I live out of state?
Yes. Most of the process works by phone, email and a title company, so you do not need to be in Stillwater. If you cannot attend the closing in person, ask the title company what arrangements are available.
Do I have to be the one to call?
The owner, or the person with legal authority to sell (for example a personal representative for an estate), needs to take part before anything moves forward. A spouse or relative can start the conversation, as long as that person joins us before we go further.
Who is Eagle Cash Buyers?
Eagle Cash Buyers buys houses in 43 states, including Minnesota. The offer comes from us in writing, and you are free to compare it with any other offer you receive.
Can I sell my Stillwater 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 Stillwater?
It depends on how title was held and Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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 Stillwater 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 Minnesota 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 Stillwater 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 Minnesota, 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 tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Minnesota can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Minnesota page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
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.
