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.
Quick and efficient! I highly recommend!

Tacoma Homeowners We Help
Tacoma sales rarely start from the same place. One owner has a house from the early 1900s with a roof past its best years. Another has a rental with a tenant partway through a lease, or inherited a relative's home and lives out of state. Each sale is handled a little differently, and selling for cash in Washington goes more smoothly when the buyer starts from your circumstances instead of a script.
An Older House
Tacoma's older neighborhoods, from the North Slope to the Wedge, hold Victorian and Foursquare houses and Craftsman bungalows from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Any house that age can have knob-and-tube wiring, an old sewer line or a foundation that has shifted, and a buyer's inspector will write those up. We look at them before we make the offer and price the work in, so you do not have to fix anything first.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
If you own a rental in Tacoma, you do not need to wait for a lease to end or ask a tenant to leave. We buy occupied houses. The lease and your tenant's rights generally pass to the buyer at closing, which is us or, if the agreement allows assignment, the entity we assign it to, and an attorney can confirm how that applies to your lease.

Fire, Smoke or Water Damage
A kitchen fire, a burst pipe or a roof that let a wet Puget Sound winter through can leave a house that many lenders will not finance until it is repaired. We buy houses in that condition. If an insurance claim is open, tell us early so the agreement can reflect it, and ask your own carrier or adjuster how your policy treats a sale.

Inherited a House in Pierce County
When the owner held title alone, with no trust, someone usually needs legal authority from an estate procedure before a deed can be signed. A house held in a living trust, or co-owned with a right of survivorship, may not need one. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture included, and a Washington attorney who handles estates can tell you which route fits.

Behind on the Mortgage
Most Washington foreclosures run through a trustee's sale under the deed of trust rather than a court, and the notices you receive carry the dates that matter. A HUD-approved housing counselor or a Washington attorney can explain your options. A sale that closes first can pay off the loan when the price covers the balance, with any equity left over coming to you; when it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less. Call early and keep every notice.
A Job, Orders or a Move Away
Joint Base Lewis-McChord lies southwest of Tacoma, near Lakewood, and military orders or a job change can move an owner away on short notice. If you have already moved, you do not need to come back to sell. A mailed signing package or a mobile notary can often handle it, arranged with the escrow officer, and your proceeds are wired to you once the deed records.
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 Tacoma are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Washington Real Estate Excise 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 |
| Washington Real Estate Excise Tax | Graduated state rate starting at 1.1%, plus Tacoma's 0.50% local rate. For illustration, $300,000 at 1.6% combined is about $4,800. Washington law makes the tax the seller's obligation (dor.wa.gov, checked September 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 Tacoma, 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
A seller we spoke with was administering an estate in which the local court itself was the executor of record. The estate's attorney needed our signature on the contract so the court could be told the closing date in advance and the transaction recorded. We took on the coordination with the attorney and the court notice, so the administrator did not have to manage it alone. Court procedures vary from place to place, so anyone in a similar position should confirm the requirements with the estate's attorney.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Washington 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 Tacoma, 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 Washington 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 Washington Real Estate Excise 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 Tacoma
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 Tacoma and Pierce County
We buy across Tacoma and throughout Pierce County, from the North Slope and Stadium District to the Wedge, College Park, Hilltop and South Tacoma. If your house is in 98402, 98405, 98409 or any other Tacoma ZIP code, we cover it.
Neighborhoods and areas in Tacoma
North Slope
The North Slope Historic District takes in more than 950 properties between North I Street and North Grant Avenue, mostly Victorian, Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Foursquare houses. Nearly 80 percent of its homes were built before 1930, in three building booms between 1888 and 1929. Exterior work on a designated historic house can involve city review, which a retail buyer planning changes may need to check; selling to us, you change nothing first.
Stadium District
The Stadium District takes its name from Stadium High School and sits on the bluff above Commencement Bay, with houses built between 1888 and 1930 in styles from Queen Anne to Colonial Revival and Mission. Today the housing is a mix of single-family houses, apartment buildings and condominiums, some with views of the bay. With that range across the district, we price each address from its own condition and the sales closest to it.
Wedge
The Wedge is the triangle bounded by Division Avenue, 6th Avenue and South M Street, and the city lists it as a historic district. About 93 percent of its homes were built before 1931, mostly in two booms, 1901 to 1911 and 1922 to 1927, and the bungalow is its most common house type. Older houses like these are priced house by house, and we buy them as they are.
Buckley's Addition
James M. Buckley of the Northern Pacific Railroad platted Buckley's Addition in 1883, and it grew as a streetcar suburb until about 1941. The National Register district holds 592 primary buildings, in Queen Anne, Colonial and Tudor Revival, Foursquare and Craftsman styles. If a house here needs updating, you can leave that to us, because the written offer already accounts for the work.
College Park
College Park is a 125-acre National Register district next to the University of Puget Sound, made up mostly of one- and two-story homes built before World War II, with an average construction date of 1924. Its styles include Queen Anne, Colonial and Tudor Revival, Minimal Traditional and Craftsman. Whatever the year, the offer rests on your house's own condition and recent nearby sales, not on the street.
South Tacoma
South Tacoma began in 1890, when the Northern Pacific Railway moved its shops from downtown to the prairie south of the city, and it was annexed into Tacoma in 1891. Neighborhoods grew up to house the workers and their families, along with a business district to serve them, and later South Tacoma Way carried U.S. Highway 99. Houses here span more than a century of building, so we price each one on its own condition.
Hilltop
Hilltop takes its name from its height above Commencement Bay and was first built up with Victorian-era houses; eight Queen Anne row houses on South J Street date to 1889 and 1890. Today it mixes houses with brick apartment buildings, townhomes, medical campuses and commercial blocks. Because houses, apartments and businesses sit close together, we price each address from its own recent comparable sales.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including tacoma.gov, en.wikipedia.org, cms.tacoma.gov, livingplaces.com, tacomanorthslope.org and cms.cityoftacoma.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Washington and Pierce County Seller Questions
Tacoma Sellers Ask Us These Before They Sign
Seller disclosure on an as-is sale, how offers are worked out, escrow, divorce, inherited houses, fire damage and manufactured homes, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Tacoma 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 Washington can confirm which disclosures apply.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Tacoma house?
We start with what the house would sell for once repaired, using recent sales of similar homes close to your address rather than list prices or citywide averages. Then we subtract the cost of the work it needs and our costs to hold and resell it. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. Asking for one costs nothing, and you are free to say no.
Would I get more by listing my Tacoma house on the market?
Sometimes, and we can usually say so. A house in good shape that you can leave for a few months of showings, inspections and buyer financing may sell for more when listed. A cash sale suits owners who want a firm closing date, do not want to repair, stage or show the house, or own something a lender may hesitate over. Add up agent commission, repairs and the months of carrying costs on the listing side, then compare both on your own numbers.
Do you buy in the North Slope, Wedge, Hilltop and South Tacoma?
Yes. We make offers on the North Slope, in the Stadium District and the Wedge, in Buckley's Addition, College Park, Hilltop and South Tacoma, in 98402, 98405, 98409 and every other ZIP code in the city. We also buy in nearby places such as University Place, Lakewood, Fife and Spanaway. Where the house sits affects the price, not whether we make an offer.
Who handles the closing in Washington, and do I need an attorney?
An escrow or title company usually does. It holds the funds, orders the title search, pays off your loan and anything else owed from the proceeds when the price covers them, records the deed with Pierce County and wires you the balance. Many sellers close without an attorney. You are free to hire one, and an estate, a foreclosure or a title problem is a good reason to. Most of our closings take 21 to 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my Tacoma 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 Washington, a home loan secured by a deed of trust is generally foreclosed by a trustee's sale 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 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 Washington can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Washington page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Can I sell my Tacoma 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 Tacoma?
It depends on how title was held and Washington 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 Washington 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.
My spouse and I are divorcing. Can we sell our Tacoma house to you?
We can make an offer while the two of you sort out the details. If both of you are on title, both will generally need to agree to the sale and sign, and a divorce decree or settlement may say who receives the proceeds. Your divorce attorney can tell you what applies to you. Once you have a plan, we work to a closing date that suits you both.
My Tacoma house has fire or water damage. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. 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, and ask your own carrier or adjuster how your policy treats a sale.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Tacoma?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Tacoma or elsewhere in Pierce County, we can make an offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.
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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma: Graduated state rate starting at 1.1%, plus Tacoma's 0.50% local rate. For illustration, $300,000 at 1.6% combined is about $4,800. Washington law makes the tax the seller's obligation (dor.wa.gov, checked September 2026), 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.
