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.
Excellent, amazing group, JP is first class. I would recommend Eagle cash buyers anytime.
After talking with several other cash buyers and real estate agents I talked with Alex and he really worked with me and got me the best deal. Down to earth and straight with facts.

Wilmington Homeowners We Help
Wilmington sellers rarely share one story. One owns a house built in the 1800s that has not had a new roof in decades, another a rental with a tenant partway through a lease, another a house left behind by a parent. Each sale runs a little differently, and selling for cash in Ohio goes more smoothly when the buyer starts from your details instead of a script.
An Older House That Needs Work
Wilmington has houses that date to the 1800s, and on a conventional sale a buyer's inspector will look hard at the wiring, plumbing, roof and foundation. We price the work into the offer, so the repairs are ours to arrange and not yours to finish before you sell.
A Rental With a Tenant in Place
You usually do not have to wait for a lease to end or ask anyone to move out first. We buy occupied houses, and the lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, which is us or, if we assign the contract as the agreement allows, the buyer we assign it to. What happens depends on the lease terms, so have the lease and the rent amount ready and tell us whether the tenant is month-to-month or on a fixed term.

A Vacant House You Are Still Paying For
An empty house still costs you taxes, insurance, utilities and lawn care every month. If you inherited it, moved away from it or stopped renting it, you can sell it as it stands, furniture and all, with nothing cleaned out or repaired first. Tell us about any damage, shut-off utilities or open notices when you send the address.

Inherited a House in Clinton County
If the owner held title alone, with no trust, survivorship deed or transfer-on-death designation, the estate often has to go through the county probate court before anyone can sign a deed. A house that passes outside probate may not need that step. We buy inherited houses as they stand, and a probate attorney can confirm which route applies to you.

Behind on the Mortgage
In Ohio a foreclosure goes through the courts, so there are usually filings and dates you can read. Bring every notice to us early. We cannot promise to stop a foreclosure: a sale helps only if it closes in time and the price covers what is owed, or the lender agrees in writing to accept less. An attorney or a HUD-approved counselor can explain your options.
Moving Before the House Sells
If a new job or a move to be near family is pulling you away from Wilmington, you do not need to plan around showings. Most of our closings land in 21 to 42 days, and if you need longer, tell us your date and, if it works, we will write it into the agreement. The closing agent can usually mail the documents or send a mobile notary.
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 Wilmington are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Ohio Conveyance Fee 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 $274,700 sale is about $13,700 to $16,500 | 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 |
| Ohio Conveyance Fee | In Clinton County the Auditor charges a conveyance fee of $3.50 per thousand of the consideration, plus a transfer fee of $.50 per parcel number transferred (clintoncountyauditor.org, checked October 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 Wilmington, 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
One caller, phoning on behalf of a family member who owned the house, was calling around to several cash buyers to compare offers. Our acquisition manager explained how an offer is figured: start from the market value, subtract the repairs, subtract the costs of reselling, and allow a margin for the business. The caller planned to have a local agent check the math, which is exactly what we encourage any seller to do.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing

Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with established Ohio 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 Wilmington, 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 Ohio 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 Ohio Conveyance Fee 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.
Wilmington Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Wilmington home at $274,700 in August 2026, 4.4% higher than a year earlier. That is a citywide typical value, and it says little about one particular house, least of all one that needs work.
Rising values do not make every listing easy. Buyers still ask for repairs after the inspection, and a house with a worn roof, an old furnace or deferred updates can sit while showings and price changes add up.
A cash offer skips the buyer's mortgage and the lender's appraisal. You see the price, the terms and the closing date in writing before you sign, and you can set that against what you would net after repairs, an agent's commission and the months of carrying costs on a listing.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Wilmington
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.

S. South Street
The S. South Street Historic District holds forty-one homes that, in the words of its National Register nomination, illustrate how small Ohio towns grew between 1840 and 1920, in styles from Greek Revival and Italianate to Queen Anne. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1993. A house from that era is priced on its own condition and recent nearby sales, and we buy it as it stands.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including livingplaces.com and en.wikipedia.org. Conditions vary from house to house.

Clinton County Seller Questions
Wilmington Sellers: Answers Before You Say Yes to Cash
Older houses, tenants, empty houses, inherited property and closing in Ohio, answered briefly.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Wilmington 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. Ohio sellers commonly complete a Residential Property Disclosure Form, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Ohio can confirm which disclosures apply.
Who handles the closing in Ohio, and do I need an attorney?
An Ohio title company does. It runs the title search, holds the money, pays off your mortgage and other items from the proceeds when the price covers them, and sends you the balance when the closing is complete, often once the deed is recorded. Many routine sales close without either side hiring an attorney. A probate matter, a foreclosure or a title problem is where one is worth having. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days, and you choose the date.
Can selling my Wilmington 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 Ohio, 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 usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Ohio can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Ohio page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
How do you work out a cash offer on a Wilmington house?
We start from what the house would likely sell for once repaired, based on recent sales of similar homes nearby, then subtract the cost of the work it needs, our costs to resell it and a margin for the business. The written offer shows the price, the terms and your estimated net, and you can ask us to walk through the numbers. You are under no obligation to accept it.
Do you buy in every part of Wilmington?
We look at houses across the city, including the older streets such as S. South Street, in ZIP code 45177 and elsewhere in Clinton County. Where the house sits affects the price. It does not, on its own, rule a house out, though a mobile home on rented land is not something we buy.
Can I sell my Wilmington 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 Wilmington?
It depends on how title was held and Ohio 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 Ohio 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.
What if a tenant is living in the house?
We buy occupied houses. Ohio landlord-tenant law governs what notice a tenant is owed, so the steps depend on whether the lease is month-to-month or fixed-term and whether the rent is current. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, which is us or, if we assign the contract as the agreement allows, the buyer we assign it to, and you usually do not have to ask the tenant to leave first.
Can I sell a Wilmington house that has been empty for a long time?
Yes. We buy vacant houses as they stand, without cleaning out, repairs or staging, and you can leave behind whatever you do not want to move. Tell us about any damage, whether the utilities are on and whether any city or county notices have been posted, because those affect the offer and the closing agent will want to know about them.
I am moving. Can you close on my schedule?
Usually, yes. Most of our closings land between 21 and 42 days, and if you need more time we can write a later date into the agreement. Tell us your deadline on the first call so we can say plainly whether it fits. If you will already be gone, the closing agent can typically mail the documents or send a mobile notary to you.
Should I list with an agent instead of taking a cash offer?
It depends on the house and how much time you have. A listing can bring a higher price for a house in good shape, but it usually means repairs, showings, an agent's commission and waiting on a buyer's financing and appraisal. A cash offer trades some of the price for certainty, no repairs and a closing date you pick. Ask for our written offer and compare it with what you expect to net on the open market.
Do you buy mobile or manufactured homes in Wilmington?
Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Wilmington or elsewhere in Clinton 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.
How much money will I actually walk away with?
The offer price, less your loan payoff, any liens or back taxes, your share of prorated property taxes and any conveyance fee that falls to you. On a direct sale to us you pay no agent commission, and we cover the closing costs apart from those items. The closing agent sends a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Wilmington 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 Wilmington: In Clinton County the Auditor charges a conveyance fee of $3.50 per thousand of the consideration, plus a transfer fee of $.50 per parcel number transferred (clintoncountyauditor.org, checked October 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.
