Selling a house in Park City
Park City is a small city of about 7,900 people in eastern Lake County, in Warren and Waukegan townships. It borders Waukegan on the east and Gurnee on the west, with North Chicago to the south. Belvidere Road (Route 120) and Skokie Highway are the main roads, and Pace buses connect Park City to downtown Waukegan.
The city incorporated in 1958, when owners of four trailer parks led the effort so the land wouldn’t be annexed by Waukegan. Since 2012, Greenleaf Street has been rebuilt in phases as the city’s center, with new sidewalks and streetlights, and a Lake County branch court complex was built there. Waukegan’s downtown and lakefront are a few minutes east. The city also runs its own parks and bike trails, and a teen center with Warren Township.
Park City’s housing is unusual for Lake County. About two-thirds of homes are manufactured homes and apartments, and about one-third are single-family houses. Those houses are mostly modest ranches and older homes on the side streets off Belvidere Road and Greenleaf Street.
A single-family Park City house in good condition can sell with an agent. Selling to us tends to make sense when the house needs a roof, furnace or major repairs, when it’s a rental with problem tenants, when you inherited it, or when you need to sell quickly to avoid foreclosure or move for work. Before you decide anything, we can walk you through what each option would likely net.
What to expect
Call or use the form, and expect a Park City cash offer inside 24 hours. We look at the house once and walk you through the numbers. You pick the day to close. Closing happens at a title office in Lake County, and we pay the normal closing costs.
What to know before you sell in Park City
- Transfer taxes. Park City isn’t on the Chicago Title transfer tax lists we checked, and your title officer checks for any city stamp requirement. The Illinois and Lake County transfer taxes apply either way, and on a sale to us, they’re our cost.
- Final bills. The title company checks for a final water or sewer bill and any city charges and pays them from the sale.
- Taxes in arrears. A Park City tax bill paid this year is for last year. Your share of this year, up to the closing date, becomes a buyer credit on the statement, deducted from the sale.
- Probate. Probate for Park City homes runs through the Waukegan courthouse, a few minutes away. We can sign with the executor once appointed.
- Rentals. Tenant-occupied Park City houses are fine, and the lease can stay in force. The title company may ask for copies of the lease and deposit records.
City requirements can change. The title company verifies what Park City needs for your address before closing, and we handle it.
Park City house: two ways to sell
| Sell to us | List with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs/updates | Not needed | Often required by buyers or lenders |
| Showings | One | As many as buyers request |
| Commission | None | A percentage of the sale |
| Closing costs | We pay them | Seller pays |
| Tenants | Fine to leave them in place | Harder to show and sell |
| Timing | 2–3 weeks, or later if you want | Usually a few months |
| Certainty | Cash, no financing | Loan approval needed |
| Price | Below retail, priced for condition | Top price for updated homes |
Single-family houses are a smaller share of the market in Park City, and an older one with repair needs can be tough for a buyer with a loan. If yours needs work, our offer lets you sell without fixing it first.
A note on manufactured homes in Park City
Park City has several manufactured-home communities. A manufactured home on a rented lot in a park is usually sold differently than a house that comes with its own land, and the community often has its own approval rules.
Our focus is houses on their own lots. If you own a manufactured home, call us anyway and tell us about it. If it isn’t something we buy, we’ll say so right away so you don’t waste time.
Three steps. You pick the closing date.

Fill out the form or call (773) 825-9855. A few quick questions, no pressure.
- Get a fair cash offer in 24 hours
We look at the house with you and show you how we got the number. No obligation.
- Close on your date
As soon as 2–3 weeks, or take more time. We close at a local title company and pay your closing costs.

I’m behind on payments. Can I still sell?
Usually, as long as the sale price covers the loan payoff. The earlier you call, the more time we have to close before a sale date.
How quickly can you close in Park City?
Two to three weeks after you accept is typical, once the title search is clear.
