Your selling choices
A listing can fit a house that is ready to show and a seller with time for preparation, showings, negotiations, and buyer financing. Compare the expected price with repair bids, cleanout, commissions, concessions, utilities, insurance, taxes, mortgage payments, and the time you may carry the property.
A direct sale gives you written terms to compare without first repairing, cleaning, or clearing the house for us. Put the written price beside the costs, obligations, and timing that apply to this property; the largest starting number is not necessarily what you keep.
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.

Net proceeds are what remains after the costs and obligations that apply to the sale, not just the price. Change the assumptions in the calculator to compare a listing with a direct sale; its figures are estimates, not a property-specific settlement calculation.

The City of Aurora boundary crosses Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties. City, county, township, and State are separate record and service jurisdictions. Confirm the parcel's county and local jurisdiction from its address and parcel records before relying on a county office or a city process; this guide does not make a parcel-specific finding.
The City says to request a Statement of Open Accounts at least five business days before closing. It places that step before the City's municipal transfer-tax stamp, including an exempt stamp. Check the City's instructions and the actual parcel and transaction; the City process does not determine the separate county or State records.

Aurora maintains rental-property and vacant-or-foreclosed-property registration resources. The City's Residential Property Standards FAQ describes annual inspections for rental properties in its licensing program; that is not a universal sale inspection. If you have a City notice, use the actual notice and address to ask the issuing office what applies.

The City describes the Near Northwest Neighborhood as a named residential area. Its historic-district map marks Near Eastside, Tanner, Riddle Highlands, and Palace Street as locally regulated areas that require a Historic Certificate of Appropriateness. Check the current map and the actual address; these place names do not establish that a specific house is covered or that a sale requires a certificate.

Closing questions
The deed and the estate or court papers show who may have authority to sign; being a family member does not by itself answer the title question. Confirm the parcel's county and the relevant estate or court record, then ask the title company and an Illinois estate attorney to check the authority for this sale. Aurora's county court and public-record routes are listed in the local resources.

For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. Exemptions and taxable value can change the amount; the property's actual county and city determine the local taxes and who is responsible.
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 are separate.

You may still have time if the sale can close and pay the required debt before the applicable deadline. Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court, and the normal redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction. The deadline and payoff depend on the court case; paying only missed installments and paying the full foreclosure amount are different options. Signing a purchase agreement does not automatically postpone the auction or extend the redemption deadline. Contact us promptly with the court papers and sale date so we can work out whether a sale can close in time. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.

No. The City describes annual inspections for rental properties in its licensing program. That is not a universal sale inspection and does not establish whether a particular property is licensed or registered; check the address and current City records.
The City's map marks some historic districts as locally regulated and routes owners to Historic Certificate of Appropriateness information. Check the current map and the actual address; a district name alone does not determine a property's designation or requirements.
