Selling a house in Mokena
Mokena is a Will County village of about 20,000 people in the southwest suburbs, with Orland Park and Tinley Park to the north, Frankfort to the south and New Lenox to the west. I-80 runs along the north edge of town, and the Metra Rock Island line stops at Hickory Creek and at Front Street in the old downtown.
The oldest houses are near Front Street. Most of Mokena was built from the 1980s on, in subdivisions such as Hunt Club, Ginger Creek, Grasmere and the Bridges of Mokena: split-levels, ranches, two-story homes and townhomes, plus larger custom homes on bigger lots toward the edges of the village.
A clean, updated Mokena home usually sells well with an agent, and we’ll tell you that if it’s true for your house. We’re a better fit when a 1980s or 1990s house still has its original kitchen, baths, roof or furnace, when you inherited a house and live out of state, when there are tenants, or when you need a firm closing date more than top dollar.
What to expect
We send a cash offer within 24 hours, walk through the house with you, and show you how we got the number. You choose the closing date, we close at a local title company, and we pay the normal closing costs.
What to know before you sell in Mokena
- No village transfer tax. Mokena doesn’t charge its own transfer tax. The Illinois and Will County transfer taxes still apply (50 cents and 25 cents per $500 of the price). When you sell to us, they’re part of the closing costs we pay.
- Final water reading. The village takes a final water meter reading before closing. The title company orders it, and the last bill is paid out of the sale.
- Property taxes are paid a year behind. In Will County, the bill you pay this year covers last year. At closing, the buyer gets a credit for the taxes owed for the time you’ve owned the house this year. It comes out of the sale proceeds, not out of your pocket.
- HOA and townhome associations. If your subdivision or townhome has an association, the title company asks for a paid-assessment letter. Any dues owed are paid at closing.
- Probate. Will County estates go through the circuit court at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet. We can sign with the executor and close once the court gives them authority to sell.
These rules change from time to time, so the title company always confirms what’s required for your address. If anything is needed, we take care of it.
Selling to us vs. listing your Mokena home
| Sell to us | List with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs and cleanout | None. Sell as-is. | Usually expected before listing |
| Showings | One walk-through | Open houses and showings for weeks |
| Commission | None | Usually a percentage of the price |
| Closing costs | We pay them | Seller pays |
| Timing | As soon as 2–3 weeks, or your date | Weeks to months, plus 30–45 days to close |
| Certainty | Cash. No loan, appraisal or inspection contingency. | Buyer’s loan or inspection can fall through |
| Price | Below retail, priced for condition | Top price for updated homes |
If your house is updated and you have time, listing will usually net more. If it needs work or the timing matters, compare both numbers. We’ll go over ours line by line.

Mokena FAQ
Do you buy townhomes and split-levels in Mokena?
Yes. We buy townhomes, split-levels, ranches, two-story homes and older houses near downtown, in any condition. If there’s an association, we handle the paid-assessment letter and any dues owed come out of the sale.
Do I need to clean out or fix anything?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. We buy the house as it is, including roofs, furnaces, basements and kitchens that need work.
Is there a Mokena transfer tax?
Mokena doesn’t charge its own transfer tax. The state and Will County transfer taxes apply to every sale, and when you sell to us they’re part of the closing costs we pay. The village does require a final water reading before closing.
Can you buy a house that’s still in probate?
Yes. We sign the contract with the executor or administrator and close once the Will County court gives them authority to sell. Many inherited houses we buy are still in probate when we first talk.
I’m behind on my mortgage. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes, as long as the sale can pay off the loan. The earlier you call, the more options you have. Once a sheriff’s sale date is set, the timeline gets tight.
How fast can you close?
Usually 2–3 weeks, once the title company finishes its work. If you need more time to move, pick a later date.
