Selling a house in Justice
Justice is a southwest suburban village of about 12,600 people (2020 Census), roughly 15 miles from the Loop. Willow Springs, Bridgeview, Hickory Hills and Bedford Park surround it. Archer Avenue and La Grange Road cross here, and the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) splits the village into Old Justice, north of Archer, and two sections to the south. The Stevenson (I-55) is a short drive north.
Canal commissioners began selling land here in 1835 to pay for the Illinois & Michigan Canal. By 1890 a small settlement lined the north side of Archer Avenue. Bethania Cemetery opened in 1894 and Resurrection Cemetery in 1904, and visitors from Chicago supported picnic groves, taverns and monument makers along the road. Residents voted to incorporate in 1911, and the tollway was routed through in 1958.
Homes run from older houses in Old Justice to single-family houses and townhomes built in the village’s three TIF districts, which together added more than 500 units. Some low spots, such as Marion Drive and the area around 75th Street and Cork Avenue, flood in regular storms, according to the county’s hazard plan.
Our heaviest buying is in the southwest suburbs, and Justice sits right in that area. A Justice home in good condition will usually bring more through an agent, and we’ll be clear about that. Selling to us fits an older Old Justice house that needs work, a townhome with association dues behind, a basement with water history, or an estate you’d rather settle quickly.
What to expect
Get in touch, and within 24 hours there’s a cash offer on the table. We set up one walk-through and go over the figures with you. When to close is your call. A nearby title company handles the signing, and we pick up the normal closing costs.
What to know before you sell in Justice
- No Justice transfer tax. ATG’s ordinance listing shows no village transfer tax for Justice, and the village isn’t on Chicago Title’s list. The state and Cook County stamps add up to 75 cents per $500, and on a sale to us, they’re our bill.
- Sales inspection. The building department lists a sales/rental inspection form, and ATG’s listing shows a pre-transfer inspection with a minimum fee of about $100. The title company confirms current details, and we pay for it and handle any follow-up.
- Water, sewer and garbage. Justice wants a final water reading, and the water, sewer and garbage bills paid before transfer. They’re settled out of the sale.
- Justice townhome dues. Justice townhome sales need a paid-assessment letter from the association, which the title company orders. Past-due dues are paid at closing.
- Streets the county flags for flooding. Marion Drive, 75th and Cork, 80th Street and areas near the 90th Avenue ditch are named in the county plan as places that flood. Tell us about any water you’ve had.
- Prorated Cook County taxes. Bills here run a year behind. The closing statement credits the buyer for the months of this year that are still unbilled.
- Justice estates. Cook County probate goes through the Daley Center. With court authority, an executor can sign with us and close.
Since Justice can revise its transfer rules, the title company reviews them for your parcel ahead of closing. Whatever the village asks for, we handle.

| Price | Below retail, priced for condition | Top price for updated homes |
Older houses in Old Justice often compete with newer single-family homes and townhomes elsewhere in the village. If yours has original systems, an older roof or water in the basement, a village inspector and a buyer’s home inspector will both spot it. Compare our offer with what you’d keep after those repairs.
Selling a Justice house on a street that floods
Cook County’s hazard plan lists several Justice locations that flood during heavy rain, including Marion Drive, which the plan says floods with regular rain events. It also notes a major August 2014 flash flood and planned village drainage projects.
A Justice seller with water history must disclose it, and many financed buyers back away or ask for big credits. We buy houses with flood history in their current condition. Tell us when water came in and what was done afterward. We’ll see it on the walk-through and price it in, so you’re not paying for cleanup or waterproofing before you sell.
