What People Say About Working With Us
I have an excellent experience! Very streamlined and simple. A great pleasure!
I had fallen behind on my mortgage and was in the pre foreclosure stage. The property was in a completely different state from where I lived. Eagle Cash Buyers completely saved my peace of mind and sanity. From the initial contact throughout the entire process they, especially Kelly, have been nothing but professional and informative.
Allan was very helpful and the process was fast and easy. I highly recommend.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.

Tempe Homeowners We Help
Tempe owners come to us from very different starting points. One has a 1950s ranch that has never been remodeled, another owns a rental a few blocks from the ASU campus, and another has a condo by Tempe Town Lake or a house in Maricopa County inherited from a parent. Each sale runs a little differently, and selling for cash in Arizona goes more smoothly when the buyer starts from your details instead of a script.
A Rental Near the ASU Campus
Arizona State University's main campus sits in Tempe, and many houses around it are rented. You do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out. We buy occupied houses, and the lease passes to the buyer at closing: us, or the buyer we assign the contract to if the agreement allows it. Tell us the rent, the lease end date, the security deposit held and whether the tenant is current, so the offer reflects the real situation.

A Mid-Century Ranch That Was Never Updated
Tempe grew quickly after World War II, and the city's own survey lists post-war subdivisions built between the late 1940s and about 1960. A house from those years can still have its original wiring, plumbing or windows, and a retail buyer's inspector will note them. We price the work into our offer, so you can skip the contractors and the showings.
An Older Home in a Historic Neighborhood
Tempe has several designated historic districts, among them Date Palm Manor and Borden Homes, and older areas such as Maple-Ash. If you are weighing exterior work before a sale, ask the City of Tempe Historic Preservation Office whether your house is inside a district. We make the offer on the house as it stands, so nothing gets renovated first.
A Condo or Townhome With an HOA
Condominiums and townhomes around Mill Avenue and Tempe Town Lake usually belong to an association. Tell us its name early. The closing agent asks the association for a statement of dues, assessments and any transfer requirements, and a balance owed is normally paid from your proceeds at closing.
A Cooling System or Roof at the End of Its Life
Tempe summers are hard on air conditioners and roofs, and replacing either one is a large bill. Many retail buyers ask for the repair or a credit once their inspection turns it up. We buy the house with the problem included and put the cost into the written offer.

Inherited a House in Maricopa County
Someone with legal authority has to sign the deed, and depending on how the owner held title that may mean a court process or may not. A probate attorney licensed in Arizona can tell you which route applies to your family. We buy inherited houses as they stand, furniture and all, and we can put an offer together while that is being sorted out.

Behind on the Mortgage
Arizona foreclosures usually run through a trustee sale rather than a court case. Once a notice of trustee's sale is recorded, a sale date is set. Changing or stopping it generally takes the lender's agreement, a reinstatement or payoff, or court involvement; a HUD-approved housing counselor or an Arizona attorney can explain your options. A sale that closes before that date can pay off the loan if the price covers what is owed; if it does not, the lender has to agree to accept less. Call early, with every notice in hand, so we can usually tell you whether our usual timeline fits.
Already Living Out of State
If work or family has taken you away from Arizona, you do not have to fly back to sell. A mobile notary or a mailed signing package usually does the job. We set that up with the closing agent, and your proceeds are wired to you after 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 Tempe are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs 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 $461,300 sale is about $23,100 to $27,700 | 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 |
| Transfer Tax | Arizona has no state transfer tax; recording fees still apply. Anything charged is shown on your settlement statement before closing | The same rules apply | The same rules apply |
| Seller Closing Costs | We pay the closing costs. 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 Tempe, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered.
See What We'd PayAn Example From a Real Call
A caller who was comparing cash offers from several buyers asked how ours was worked out, and our acquisition manager walked her through it on the phone. He started from an estimate of what the house was worth, took off the estimated cost of the repair work, took off what the company would spend on closing costs and commissions when it resold it, and then took off a margin so the company can stay in business. She questioned the result and said she would have a local agent check the math, and he explained each step rather than asking her to take the number on faith. The amounts in a case like this depend on the individual property.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Arizona 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 Tempe, 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 Arizona 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. Every cost is 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.
Tempe Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Tempe home at $461,300 in August 2026, 0.6% lower than a year earlier. That is nearly flat. A citywide typical value describes the middle of the market and says little about any one house, least of all one that needs work.
When prices barely move, buyers feel little pressure to hurry, and they lean on condition once the inspection report arrives. A Tempe house with a tired air conditioner, an aging roof or dated wiring gives them plenty to negotiate over, and price cuts can pile up while the listing waits.
A buyer using a mortgage also brings a lender's appraisal, and the lender can ask for repairs before it funds the loan. A cash offer with no buyer mortgage skips that step. You see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you sign, and the closing agent handles the rest.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Tempe
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 Tempe and Maricopa County

Neighborhoods and areas in Tempe
Maple-Ash
One of Tempe's oldest residential neighborhoods, Maple-Ash began to be built in the early 1900s and lies between University Drive and Hayden Lane, and between Mill Avenue and Ash Avenue. Flood irrigation, piped to the lots instead of run through open ditches, helped give it green lawns and mature shade trees. For a seller, an older house here is priced on its own condition and on recent nearby sales, not on the age of the street.
Date Palm Manor
Built from 1953 to 1959 on the old Valsunda Date Gardens, Date Palm Manor is one of Tempe's designated historic districts, and its streets include Dromedary Drive. The city's record calls it the best example of early post-war custom home building in Tempe: ranch houses of concrete block and brick on curving streets, with many of the original date palms kept. For a seller, an offer here starts from your house's own condition and recent sales on these streets.
Hudson Manor
The City of Tempe's survey of post-war subdivisions dates Hudson Manor to 1948 through 1955, part of the wave of building that followed World War II. For a seller, the offer starts from your house's own condition and from recent sales nearby, and you can leave any updating to us.
Borden Homes
This district east of downtown Tempe holds 68 one-story single-family houses and one duplex, built mostly between 1947 and 1957 in the early and transitional ranch styles. It is a designated Tempe historic district and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Because it is a listed district, a buyer planning exterior changes will look at the design guidelines, so it helps to know whether your house is a contributing property.
Roosevelt Addition
Built between 1946 and 1950, Roosevelt Addition is a designated City of Tempe historic district and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of the earliest post-war neighborhoods in the city. For a seller, an offer starts from your house's condition and nearby sales, not from the district listing.
Downtown Tempe and Tempe Town Lake
Downtown Tempe centers on Mill Avenue and sits beside Tempe Town Lake, a lake nearly two miles long that opened to the public in November 1999. Housing near the lake is mostly condominium towers and apartment communities; Bridgeview, for example, is a 12-story building with 104 condominiums. For a seller, condo offers here start from recent sales in the same building, where there are any.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including saltriverstories.org, tempe.gov, livingplaces.com, en.wikipedia.org and downtowntempe.com. Conditions vary from house to house.

Arizona and Maricopa County Seller Questions
What Tempe Owners Ask Before They Agree to a Cash Sale
Disclosures, ASU-area rentals, HOA condos, inherited homes, trustee sales and closing from out of state, answered in a few lines each.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Tempe 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 Arizona can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Arizona, and do I need an attorney?
A title or escrow company usually handles an Arizona closing. It holds the funds, runs the title search, pays off your loan and other required payoffs from the proceeds when the price covers them, and pays you once the deed is recorded with the Maricopa County Recorder. You can have an attorney review the agreement at any point, and probate, foreclosure and title disputes are the cases where one is most worth having. Most of our closings take 21 to 42 days, and you can ask for a later date.
Can selling my Tempe 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 Arizona, 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 Arizona can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Arizona page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Tempe house?
We start from what similar Tempe houses nearby have sold for once repaired. From that we take off the cost of the work your house needs and our own costs to hold and resell it, plus a margin, because we have to earn something to keep buying. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net. It costs nothing, you can compare it with any other offer, and you are under no obligation to accept it.
Do you buy houses in every part of Tempe?
Yes. We buy from the older streets around Mill Avenue and the ASU campus to Maple-Ash, Hudson Manor and Date Palm Manor, and on to the condos along Tempe Town Lake, in every Tempe ZIP code. Where the house sits affects the price we can offer, not whether we will make an offer.
Can I sell my Tempe 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 Tempe?
It depends on how title was held and Arizona 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 Arizona 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.
I own a rental near ASU and the tenant is still there. Can you still buy it?
Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place, and the lease passes to the buyer at closing. Send us the lease, the monthly rent, the end date and the security deposit held when you contact us, so the offer accounts for them. Wear from years of rental use, such as worn flooring or patched walls, goes into the price rather than becoming a bill you pay first.
My Tempe condo or townhome is in an HOA. What happens with the association when I sell?
Tell us the name of the association on your first call. The closing agent requests a statement from it showing any dues, assessments or fines owed and any transfer fee it charges, and a balance owed is normally taken from your proceeds at closing. It is worth asking the association for that statement early, so the number is in front of both of us before the offer is finalized.
Do I have to be in Tempe to close?
Usually not. The closing agent can normally mail your documents or send a mobile notary to you, and the money is wired to your account once the sale records.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Tempe?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the home and the lot it stands on, in Tempe or elsewhere in Maricopa County, we can make an offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented space is not something we buy.
How is selling to you different from selling to an iBuyer?
iBuyers tend to focus on newer houses in good condition and take repair costs off the price after their own inspection. We also buy older and worn houses. Our written offer takes the repair work into account up front, and anything that could change the price after you sign is spelled out in the agreement. The comparison table on this page sets both next to a traditional listing.
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 Tempe house to you?
We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, 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 Tempe: Arizona has no state transfer tax; recording fees still apply.
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.
