About Our Offers
We base our offers on several factors: recent comparable sales in your area, the current condition of your property, any repairs that may be needed, and current market conditions in Chicagoland. We're completely transparent about how we arrive at our numbers and are happy to walk you through our evaluation.
Yes. While our offers may be below full retail market value (since we buy as-is and close quickly), we aim to make fair offers that work for both parties. Keep in mind that you're saving money on agent commissions (typically 5-6%), repairs, staging, holding costs, and closing costs. When you factor these in, our offer is often competitive with what you'd net from a traditional sale.
No. There are absolutely no fees, commissions, or hidden costs when you sell to us. The price we offer is what you'll receive at closing. The only deductions would be for any existing mortgages, liens, or back taxes on the property, which is true for any sale.
None at all. Getting an offer from us is completely free and comes with no strings attached. If our offer doesn't work for you, there's no pressure and no hard feelings. We want you to make the decision that's right for your situation.
Process & Timeline
We can close in as little as 14 days if you need to sell fast. However, we're flexible and can work on whatever timeline suits you best. If you need a few weeks or even a couple of months, that's fine too. You're in control of the closing date.
It's simple: (1) You contact us with information about your property. (2) We evaluate your home and make you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. (3) If you accept, we handle all the paperwork and close at a local title company on the date you choose. That's it - no showings, no repairs, no hassle.
No. We buy houses in any condition, exactly as they are. You don't need to fix anything, clean anything, or even remove your unwanted belongings. If there's stuff you don't want to take with you, just leave it - we'll handle it.
In most cases, we'll do a brief walkthrough to verify the property's condition, but this can often be done virtually via video call if that's more convenient for you. Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible.
Property Types & Conditions
We buy all types of residential properties: single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, and small multi-family buildings. We purchase properties in any condition - whether they're move-in ready, need minor updates, or require major renovations.
That's not a problem for us. We buy houses in any condition, including properties with major issues like foundation problems, roof damage, fire damage, mold, or extensive repairs needed. We've seen it all and we're still interested.
Yes, we buy properties with tenants in place. Whether you have great tenants you'd love us to keep, or problem tenants you'd rather not deal with, we can work with either situation. You won't have to go through the eviction process yourself.
Special Situations
We can often help homeowners facing foreclosure by closing quickly before the foreclosure process completes. This can help you avoid the negative impact on your credit and potentially walk away with cash instead of losing the property to the bank. Time is critical in these situations, so contact us as soon as possible.
This situation (called being "underwater") can be challenging, but there may still be options. In some cases, we can negotiate with your lender for a short sale. Every situation is different, so contact us to discuss your specific circumstances.
We frequently work with people who have inherited properties. Whether the property is in probate, has title issues, or just needs to be sold quickly to settle an estate, we can help navigate the process and make things as simple as possible.
Yes. Selling the marital home quickly can help both parties move forward. We've worked with many couples going through divorce who needed a fast, clean sale without the stress of listing on the market. We can close quickly so you can finalize your divorce and start fresh.
Service Areas
We buy houses throughout the greater Chicagoland area and Northwest Indiana. This includes all Chicago neighborhoods, Cook County suburbs, DuPage County, Will County, Lake County (IL), and Northwest Indiana cities including Gary, Hammond, East Chicago, Munster, Highland, Schererville, Crown Point, Merrillville, Hobart, Portage, and Valparaiso.
