Facing Foreclosure in Cook County?

Relocating for Work?
Got a new job out of state? Don't get stuck managing two mortgages. We close fast so you can move on without the stress.
Vacant or Abandoned Property?

How We Calculate Our Cash Offers
We believe in total transparency. Here's exactly how we determine what we can pay for your Chicago property:
After Repair Value (ARV) What your house would sell for fully renovated
Minus: Repair Costs Foundation, roof, kitchen, bathrooms, electrical, plumbing—everything it needs
Minus: Holding Costs Property taxes, insurance, utilities while we renovate (typically 4-6 months)
Minus: Selling Costs Realtor fees, closing costs, title insurance when we resell
Minus: Our Profit Margin We're taking all the risk—if costs run over or the market drops, we absorb it

We show you the numbers. If our offer doesn't work for you, no hard feelings. We'll even help you find a better option.
More Than Just Cash Offers
We Have 4 Ways to Help You
Option 3: Owner Financing
You become the bank. We buy your property and pay you monthly. Great if you want steady income without landlord hassles.
Option 4: List With a Realtor
Sometimes a traditional sale makes more sense. We'll refer you to a trusted Chicago real estate agent if that's your best option.
Option 2: Payment Relief (Subject-To)
We take over your mortgage payments. Works when you have little or no equity but need to stop payments now. You avoid foreclosure without selling.
Option 1: Sell for Cash
The fastest way out. We buy your house as-is, you get paid at closing, and you're done. Perfect when you have equity and need speed.
What to Expect After You Accept Our Offer
Step 1: Sign the Purchase Agreement
Simple, straightforward contract. We explain every term. Ask all the questions you want.
Step 2: Title Search & Escrow
We open escrow with a licensed Illinois title company. They verify clear title and handle all funds securely.
Step 3: Schedule Closing
Pick your date. Need a week? A month? Two months to find your next place? You decide.
Step 4: Final Walkthrough
Quick visit to confirm property condition. Standard procedure—nothing invasive.
Step 5: Closing Day
Sign documents, transfer ownership, get paid. Usually takes 30-45 minutes. Walk out with your proceeds.
Step 6: Move Forward
You're done. Move on with your life while we handle the property renovation.
Should You Sell Your House As-Is?
Selling as-is means selling in current condition—no repairs, no updates, nothing fixed.
When It Makes Sense:
✓ You don't have money for repairs
✓ You don't have time for renovations
✓ The property needs major work (foundation, roof, systems)
✓ You're dealing with a difficult situation (foreclosure, divorce, probate)
✓ You want to close fast—weeks, not months
✓ You're tired of dealing with the property
The Trade-Off:
You'll get less than full market value. But you also:
Save $10,000-$50,000+ in repair costs
Save 6% in agent commissions
Save months of carrying costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance)
Avoid the stress of contractors, showings, and negotiations
For many Chicago sellers, as-is cash sales actually put MORE money in your pocket when you factor in real costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you actually close?
Our fastest closing was 5 days. Most cash sales close in 7-14 days. If you need more time (30-60 days), that works too. You pick the timeline.
Will you lowball me?
No. We show you exactly how we calculated our offer—the math is right there. If it doesn't work for you, we'll help you find a better option.
Do I have to clean out the house?
Nope. Leave whatever you don't want. We handle all junk removal and cleanouts—especially helpful for inherited properties.
Can you buy if I'm in foreclosure?
Yes, but timing matters. The earlier you contact us, the more options we have. We can often negotiate with your lender and close before the auction.
What if I have liens or back taxes?
We deal with liens regularly—property tax liens, contractor liens, IRS liens, judgments. We pay them off at closing from the sale proceeds.
Can you buy with tenants in the property? Absolutely. We buy occupied rentals all the time. You don't need to evict anyone or wait for leases to end.
How do you make money?
We buy below market value, renovate the property, and either rent it long-term or sell it retail. Our profit comes from adding value—not from taking advantage of sellers.
Should I get multiple offers?
Yes. Always get 2-3 cash offers and compare them to what you might net from a traditional sale. Make an informed decision.
Is this a scam?
We close through licensed Illinois title companies, provide written contracts, and never pressure you. We're City of Chicago certified and have been doing this locally since [YEAR].
What areas do you serve?
All 77 Chicago neighborhoods plus 20+ Cook County suburbs including Oak Park, Evanston, Cicero, Skokie, Berwyn, Naperville, and Orland Park.
