Selling a house in Orland Park
Orland Park is one of the largest southwest suburbs, with about 59,000 people. Most of the village is in Cook County, in Orland, Palos and Bremen townships, and a small southern section is in Will County’s Frankfort Township. Palos Park and Palos Heights are to the north, Oak Forest to the east, Tinley Park to the southeast, Orland Hills and Mokena to the south and Homer Glen to the west. LaGrange Road is the main street, Orland Square has anchored shopping there since 1976, and Metra’s SouthWest Service stops at 143rd, 153rd and 179th streets. Lake Sedgewick and the McGinnis Slough preserve add open water and trails to the mix.
The village grew up around a railroad stop that opened in 1879 and was incorporated in 1892. That original core, near 143rd Street and the Metra station, still has houses and storefronts from the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Twin Towers church and the Hostert log cabins. Most of Orland Park came much later. The population went from about 6,400 in 1970 to about 51,000 by 2000, so the typical house here is a ranch, split-level or two-story from the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s. Townhome and condo communities were built throughout the village in the same years.
The southwest suburbs are where we buy more houses than anywhere else, so we know Orland Park streets and prices well. An updated Orland Park home in a popular subdivision will usually do best on the market, and we’ll be straight with you about that. We help most with houses that haven’t been touched since the 1980s, townhomes facing an assessment, inherited homes, rentals with tenants and sales that have to happen on a schedule.
What to expect
We tour the house, then send a cash offer within a day and go over how we priced it. You set the closing date. The closing happens at a nearby title company, and the usual closing costs are on us.
What to know before you sell in Orland Park
- No village transfer tax. Orland Park doesn’t charge its own transfer tax. The Illinois transfer tax (50 cents per $500) and the county tax (25 cents per $500) still apply. When you sell to us, they’re part of the closing costs we pay.
- Final water reading. The village requires a final water reading before the sale closes. The title company asks for it, and the last bill is paid from the proceeds.
- Cook or Will County. Most Orland Park homes are taxed by Cook County. Homes in the small Will County section are billed through Will County in Joliet. Both counties bill a year behind, so the buyer gets a credit at closing from the proceeds.
- Probate. Cook County estates go through the Daley Center in Chicago. Will County estates go through the courthouse in Joliet. We sign with the executor and close once the court approves the sale.
- Townhome and condo associations. The title company requests a paid-assessment letter. Condo sellers also owe the buyer the association’s resale documents, and we help gather them. Unpaid dues come out at closing.
Requirements can change, so the title company checks the current rules for your address. If something is needed, we handle it.

Orland Park has a lot of 1970s and 1980s split-levels and ranches that look much like the updated ones down the street. Buyers notice the difference in kitchens, baths and mechanicals right away. If yours hasn’t been redone, compare a listing estimate with our offer.
Selling an Orland Park townhome or condo
Many Orland Park townhome and condo communities date to the 1980s and 1990s. At that age, associations are replacing roofs, siding, decks and parking lots, and some have raised dues or passed special assessments to pay for it. Listing buyers and their lenders look closely at the association’s budget and reserves, and a pending assessment can slow a sale or cost you credits.
We buy townhomes and condos with dated interiors and with assessments due. The title company gets the paid-assessment letter, and we show you how any balance or assessment is handled in our number. If you inherited the unit or already moved out, you don’t have to keep paying dues on an empty unit while it sits on the market.

Common reasons Orland Park owners sell
Orland Park FAQ
Does Orland Park have a transfer tax?
No. The village doesn’t charge one, but the state and county transfer taxes apply. When you sell to us, we pay those as part of closing costs.
Do you buy in the Will County part of Orland Park?
Yes. We buy anywhere in the village. The only difference is that taxes are billed by Will County and probate goes through Joliet.
My townhome association just passed a special assessment. Can I still sell?
Yes. The title company gets a paid-assessment letter, and we account for the assessment in the offer so it doesn’t surprise you at closing.
Do you buy older homes near downtown Orland Park?
Yes. Older houses near 143rd Street and the Metra station often need the most work, and we buy them as-is.
What about the final water bill?
The village takes a final water reading before closing. The title company orders it, and the last bill comes out of the proceeds.
Can I stay in the house until my new place is ready?
Usually, yes. Pick a closing date that lines up with your move, and we’ll plan around it.
