Selling to us vs. listing with an agent
Listing can get a higher price on a house that’s move-in ready. If yours isn’t, or time matters more than top dollar, here’s how the two compare.
| Compare | Sell to We Buy Houses in Chicago Fast | List with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions | None | A percentage of the sale price |
| Repairs & cleanout | None. Sell it as-is | Often needed to sell or pass inspection |
| Closing costs | We pay them | Seller pays |
| Showings | One walkthrough | Open houses and showings |
| Timeline | 2–3 weeks, or your date | Often 2–4 months |
| Buyer financing falls through? | Can’t happen. We pay cash | Possible |

We buy the houses Chicagoland is actually made of, in whatever shape they’re in, including ones with tenants still living there.
What Chicagoland sellers say
“I lost my job and got behind on my mortgage. I thought it was too late and that the bank was going to take my house. These guys made me a cash offer, worked with the lender, and we closed in 9 days. I avoided foreclosure and saved my credit.”
“My brother and I inherited our mom’s house in Oak Lawn. We couldn’t agree on what to do with it, and it sat vacant for months. I reached out and they handled the entire process. We sold it as-is, split the money, and avoided a major family argument.”
“I was trying to fix the house myself but ran out of time and money. It needed way more work than I thought: electrical, roof, plumbing, pretty much everything. They gave me a cash offer and closed in two weeks. I was finally free of it.”

Straight answers
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at recent sales nearby, what the house needs, and what it will cost us to fix and hold. Then we walk you through the math so you can see exactly how we got the number.
Are there really no fees?
No commissions, no fees, and we pay your normal closing costs. The offer is what you walk away with, minus anything owed on the house, like a mortgage or liens.
How fast can you close?
In most cases in 2–3 weeks. If you need more time to move, you pick a later date. We close on your timeline.
Can you buy a house that’s still in probate?
Yes. We work with the executor and the estate’s attorney and can wait for court approval. Most of the inherited houses we buy are still in probate when we first talk.
Do I have to clean out the house or make repairs?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. We buy the house exactly as it sits.
I’m not in Chicagoland. Can you still help?
Our parent company, BAM Home Buyers, buys houses in 30+ markets across the country.
