DeAnna RobinsonRated 5 out of 5
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.

University Place Homeowners We Help

University Place sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home that needs work, some are landlords, and some are moving on a schedule set by someone else. These are the situations we see most.

An Older House That Needs Work

If the roof, the kitchen or the systems are due for work, you do not have to fix them first. We look at the house as it stands and build the offer from that. You skip the contractor quotes, the staging and the weekends of showings, and you choose the closing date.

A Rental With Tenants in Place

You do not have to wait for a lease to end before you talk to us. We can buy a house with tenants living in it. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, though how that works depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will explain what to expect.

An Inherited House You Do Not Want to Keep

Inheriting a house in another city, or one you have no time to manage, can turn into a long list of chores. We can make an offer on the house as it is, contents and all, and you do not need to clean it out first. Where probate or a deed transfer is involved, the title company tells us what paperwork it needs, and a Washington probate attorney can confirm who has authority to sign. We can make the offer while that is sorted out.

Fire, Water or Storm Damage

A house with a burned kitchen, a flooded basement or a damaged roof is hard to list and slow to repair. We can make an offer without you repairing anything first. If you have an open insurance claim, check with your insurer how it interacts with a sale before you decide.

A Move on Someone Else's Schedule

New job orders, a transfer or a family move can leave a house to sell on a tight timeline. Pierce County includes Joint Base Lewis-McChord, so orders are one common reason. We make a written offer within one business day, and most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.

Behind on Payments or Owing Back Taxes

If you owe on the mortgage, back taxes or other debts, tell us early. Those amounts are usually paid from the sale proceeds at closing, as long as the sale covers them, and the closing agent's settlement statement shows the exact figures before closing. Eagle pays the other closing costs. The sooner we see the numbers, the more choices you have.

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.

What the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs

Sellers in University Place 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 FactorEagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale)Traditional Listing (Agent)Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer)
Agent CommissionNone - $0Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $653,900 sale is about $32,700 to $39,200Usually none, though a service fee often applies
Repairs Before SaleNone - we buy as-isOften paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for moreOften deductions for repairs after the inspection
Washington Real Estate Excise TaxGraduated state rate starting at 1.1%, plus a local rate. Your share is paid from your proceeds, as set out in the purchase agreement and shown on your settlement statementThe same tax appliesThe same tax applies
Seller Closing CostsWe 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 contractA service fee set by each platform
Days to CloseMost close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the dateWeeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall throughSet by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas
Showings and InspectionsNo public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreementMultiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspectionUsually a company inspection, often with repair deductions
Financing Contingency RiskNo buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still applyBuyer financing can fall through weeks into the processLow risk, but platform rules apply
Condition RequiredWe buy as-is - no updates neededBuyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollarVaries - 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 University Place, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.

A Real Call About a House

One person who contacted us was comparing cash offers and already had one from another buyer. Our acquisition manager walked through how the offer was built: he started from an estimate of the home's value, subtracted the repair work the house would need, subtracted the costs of reselling it, and left a margin for the company. The caller planned to have a local agent check the math, which is a sensible step for any seller.

We are not saying this was a Washington homeowner. We do not attach a case to a state it did not come from, 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 Washington closing agents who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing agent arranges. Here is how it runs.

1

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.

2

Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day

We look at the property, recent comparable sales in University Place, 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.

3

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.

University Place Housing Market - What the Numbers Say

Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical University Place home at $653,900 in August 2026, 0.3% lower than a year earlier.

$653,900
Typical Home Value (Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026)
-0.3%
Year-Over-Year, Zillow Home Value Index, August 2026

That is a figure for mid-priced homes across the whole city. It says nothing about your house. A home that needs a new roof or a kitchen usually sells for less than a move-in-ready home on the same street, and a cash offer reflects the work the buyer will take on.

If you list with an agent, your net depends on the sale price, how long the house sits, the repairs a buyer asks for and the costs of selling. Selling to us swaps some of that price for a written offer in one business day and a closing date you choose. Compare both before you decide.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in University Place

These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Get the whole offer in writing before you sign, including who pays closing costs and what happens if the buyer walks.

University Place Seller Questions

Before You Say Yes: University Place Cash Sale Answers

Offers, timing, tenants, damage, liens and probate, answered briefly.

Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my University Place 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.

Who pays closing costs when I sell my University Place 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 University Place: graduated state rate starting at 1.1%, plus a local rate, subject to the purchase agreement.

Can I sell my University Place 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 University Place?

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.

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 University Place 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 foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust 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 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 Washington can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Washington page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in University Place?

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 both the home and the lot, send the address and we will make a written offer within one business day.

How do you come up with a cash offer on my University Place house?

We start from an estimate of what the house is worth. Then we subtract the repair work it needs, subtract what it costs us to resell it, and leave a margin so the company can operate. What is left is the offer, and we will explain each step if you ask. Comparing our offer with others is a sensible thing to do.

How fast can I get an offer, and how long does closing take?

We send a written offer within one business day of getting the address. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You choose the closing date within what the title company can handle.

Can I sell a house with tenants in it?

Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, but how that works depends on the lease terms, so it helps to send us a copy. Tell us if the tenants pay rent on time and when the lease ends.

Will you buy a University Place house with fire or water damage?

Often we can. We look at the damage as it stands and build the offer around the repairs. You do not have to fix anything or clear out the house first. If an insurance claim is open, check with your insurer how it interacts with a sale.

I am moving on short notice. Can I sell before I leave?

That is a common reason to call. Joint Base Lewis-McChord is in Pierce County, so some sellers are moving on orders. We make a written offer within one business day, and most sales close in 21 to 42 days. If you need longer, tell us the date you want.

Do I need to clean out the house or make repairs first?

No. We buy houses in their current condition, and you can leave what you do not want. Clearing out and repairs are for you to decide, not conditions of our offer. Walk through the house with us if you like, or send photos.

Do you also buy in Tacoma, Lakewood, Fircrest or Steilacoom?

Yes, we buy in the towns around University Place, including Tacoma, Lakewood, Fircrest and Steilacoom. The exception is mobile homes, which we buy only with the land. Send the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.

Is a cash offer lower than what I would get by listing?

Often it is, because you are not paying for repairs, showings or a long wait for a buyer, and we take on the work of reselling. It is not always the better choice, though. If your house is in good shape and you have time, listing may bring more. Ask us for the offer and compare.
