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.
Fast, professional, kind and understanding. Thank you for making this easy.
Allan was very helpful and the process was fast and easy. I highly recommend.
Eagle Cash Buyers helped me to stop a foreclosure. My home was 2 days away from an auction. For a company who invests in buying homes for profit they helped my family keep mine. So grateful.

Washington Homeowners We Help
Washington sellers come with very different houses and reasons. Some own an older home near the square, some a newer house in a subdivision, and some a rental or a property they inherited. These are the situations we hear about most.
An Older House That Needs Work
Washington has houses from many decades, from older homes near the square to newer subdivisions. If yours needs a new roof, updated wiring or a kitchen from another decade, you can sell it as it is. We look at the house as it stands, and you do not have to fix anything or clean it out first.
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, though what that means for your tenants depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy and we will explain how it fits the sale.

An Inherited Property
A house that came to you from a parent or relative can be a burden when you live elsewhere or do not want to manage it. We can talk through the sale with you and whoever handles the estate. Timing often depends on where the estate stands, and an Illinois probate attorney can confirm what applies to yours.

Storm, Fire or Water Damage
Damage from wind, fire or a burst pipe can leave a house that is hard to list and harder to show. We buy houses in their current condition, so you do not have to finish repairs or wait on contractors before selling. Send photos or a description and we will work from what is there.

Behind on Payments or Up Against a Deadline
If missed mortgage payments are piling up, a fast sale is one option to weigh against the others. Tell us your timeline when you send the address. Whether an offer covers your payoff depends on the price and the amount owed, and the Illinois foreclosure answer below explains the general process.
A Move, a Divorce or a Fresh Start
A job change, a divorce or a move closer to family often means a house has to sell on a schedule that a listing may not fit. We can plan the closing around your date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, and if you need longer, you make that call.

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 Washington are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Illinois 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, 5% on a $236,000 sale is $11,800 | 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 |
| Illinois Transfer Tax | State rate $1.00 per $1,000; counties and some cities add their own. 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 Washington, 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 who contacted us had sent in an inquiry in her own name, and someone else called about it first. Our acquisition manager noticed the difference and asked whether the owner was able to take part. Because the person who owns the house is on the call before anything moves forward, a follow-up call was scheduled for a time when she could join. Our acquisition manager described that first call as basic, mostly about learning the property and its condition.
We are not saying this was an Illinois 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 Illinois 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 Washington, 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 Illinois 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 Illinois 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.
Washington Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Washington home at $236,000 in August 2026, 6.0% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. Your own price depends on the size, the age, the repairs needed and how quickly you want to sell.
A traditional listing can bring in a buyer using a loan, and that path adds an appraisal, an inspection and showings before closing. A cash sale to us has no lender appraisal and no public showings; any walkthrough is set out in the agreement. That is why some sellers accept a different price in exchange for certainty and a date they choose.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Washington
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.

Washington Square and Downtown
Washington Square is a prominent feature of the original town plat, which was platted on February 27, 1834 and recorded on March 4, 1834. A 2022 profile describes the city's downtown as an older area with specialty shops and historic sites, and homes near it can range widely in age and style. If you own a house close to the square, tell us its age and any updates, since those details shape how we look at it.

Washington and Tazewell County Seller Questions
Before You Accept Our Offer: Washington and Tazewell County Answers
Offers, repairs, timing, tenants, mobile homes, liens, probate and foreclosure, answered briefly.
How do you work out the cash offer on my Washington house?
We look at the address, the condition, the size and what similar homes have sold for nearby, then subtract what the repairs would cost. You get a written offer within one business day of sending us the details. The offer is yours to accept or turn down.
Do I need to repair anything before I sell?
No. We buy houses as they are, including ones with worn roofs, old systems or storm, fire or water damage. Tell us what you know about the condition, and we price the offer around it.
How fast can I close on a house in Washington?
Most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, and you pick the date. If you need more time, say so and we can plan around it. The timeline can depend on title work and on whether an estate or a lender is involved.
Who handles the closing in Illinois, and do I need an attorney?
A title company or closing attorney usually handles the closing, running the title search and recording the deed. Whether you hire your own attorney is up to you. An Illinois real estate attorney can tell you whether it makes sense for your sale, especially if an estate, a divorce or a lien is involved.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Washington 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 Washington: state rate $1.00 per $1,000; counties and some cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.
Can I sell my Washington 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 Washington?
It depends on how title was held and Illinois 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 Illinois 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 Washington 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. Illinois has the Residential Real Property Disclosure Act, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Illinois 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 Washington 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 Illinois, 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 tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Illinois can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Illinois page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do you buy houses with tenants in them?
Yes. You do not need to wait for a lease to end or ask a tenant to leave first. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for the tenant depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy with the address.
Do you buy mobile homes in Washington?
Yes, when you own the land under the home. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a lot you rent. If you own both the home and the land, send the address and we will look at it like any other house.
Do you buy houses damaged by a storm or fire?
Yes. We buy houses in their current condition, whether the damage came from wind, fire or water. If an insurance claim is still open, tell us on the first call, since it can affect timing and what you receive.
What happens on the first call, and am I committing to anything?
The first call is basic. We ask about the property, its condition and your situation, and you are not committing to anything by having it. The owner takes part in the conversation before anything moves forward, so if a spouse or relative starts it for you, we will set up a time when you can join.
Do you buy houses in every part of Washington?
We buy across Washington and Tazewell County, near the square or in the rest of the city. The exception is a mobile home, which we buy only when the seller owns the land. Send the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.
