Sell your house as-is. Made easy.

We serve Elgin and nearby communities across McHenry, Lake, Kane, DuPage, and northern Cook counties. Our service area is focused on the north, northwest, and western suburbs rather than properties within Chicago city limits.

A buyer looks at recent nearby sales, the condition of the house, likely repair costs, and the cost and risk of owning and reselling it. If you receive an offer, ask how the buyer reached the number and whether anything could change it.

A cash purchase can avoid buyer-financing delays, but title work, attorney review, mortgage payoffs, liens, probate, local requirements, and the signed agreement still affect the date. Tell us about any deadline early and ask for the proposed closing date in writing.

Show us what you hope to leave. If the buyer agrees, the purchase agreement should identify the furniture, appliances, boxes, or other contents that may stay. Remove photos, jewelry, medication, records, and anything else you want to keep before closing.

Probably. A direct cash offer is often lower than what a prepared home could bring on the open market. In return, you may avoid repairs, public showings, financing delays, and a listing-agent commission. Compare the likely amount you would receive from each option before deciding.

Not before we take a look. Show the house as it stands and point out anything you hope to leave. Make sure the purchase agreement says which items can stay before you move out.

We will ask for the address, the general condition of the house, your timeline, and what is prompting the sale. If the house may be a fit for one of our buyers, we will explain what is needed next.

Ask for the offer in writing and make sure it names the buyer, explains whether the contract can be assigned, and lists the price, conditions, costs, and closing date. A reputable title company should be involved, and you are free to have your own attorney review the agreement.
