Your written offer and closing

You get a written offer and clear written terms to review before you decide whether to sell. If you choose to move forward, the sale closes through a title company.
We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Signing from another location
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
