How selling your house for cash works
No listing, no showings, no repairs and no surprises. Here’s exactly what happens from your first call to the day you get paid.
Start with a free offer
No obligation. We never sell your info. Prefer to talk? Call or text (773) 825-9855.
Step by step
- You tell us about the house
Fill out the short form or call or text (773) 825-9855. We’ll ask about the house, what it needs, and what timeline works for you. It takes about 10 minutes.
- We take a look
We set a time to walk through the house with you, or do it by video if you live out of town. Nobody needs to clean or fix anything first.
- You get a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours
We base it on recent sales nearby, what the house needs, and what it will cost to fix up. We walk you through the numbers so you can see how we got there. There’s no obligation and no pressure.
- You pick the closing date
Most of our sales close in 2–3 weeks, but if you need more time to move, sort through belongings or finish probate, you choose a later date.
- We close at a local title company
A licensed title company handles the paperwork and the money. We pay your normal closing costs, any liens or mortgage are paid off from the sale, and the rest goes to you by wire or check.
How we work out your number
Cash buyers pay less than full retail because we take on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk. Here’s what goes into it, in plain terms.
We look at recent sales of similar houses close by, the same comparison an appraiser would make.
Roof, furnace, kitchen, foundation, cleanout. We price the work honestly and show you our estimate.
Taxes, insurance, utilities and financing while the work gets done.
No 5–6% commission, no closing costs, no repairs and no months of mortgage payments while it sits on the market.
About the process
Is there any obligation once I get an offer?
No. The offer is free and you can say no, ask questions, or take time to think it over.
Who handles the closing?
A licensed, independent title company handles the paperwork and the money. If the house is in an estate or a divorce, your attorney stays involved the whole way.
What if there’s still a mortgage or liens on the house?
They’re paid off from the sale at closing. You get whatever is left over.
Can I stay in the house for a while after closing?
Often, yes. Tell us what you need and we’ll build it into the agreement.
Do you buy houses with tenants in them?
Yes. We buy rentals with tenants in place, including tenants who are behind on rent.
