Listing may suit a house that is ready to show and an owner who can wait through the listing process. Your net depends on the sale price minus preparation, commissions, concessions, and carrying costs; a list price is not the amount you keep.
With a Cash Offer, we buy the house directly: there are no listing-agent showings. EZ Sale includes partner visits. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. We review title, payoff, occupancy, who can sign, and timing with you, and you get clear written terms before you commit.
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.

Local property context
NeighborhoodScout's Bloomington profile, checked September 1, 2026, describes 55.41% of the city's housing stock as single-family detached homes and 25.78% as homes in large apartment complexes. It reports construction periods of 1939 or earlier (15.25%), 1940–1969 (18.69%), 1970–1999 (42.1%), and 2000 or later (24.01%). Those are citywide profile figures, not the age, condition, or occupancy of one address.
LocalWiki describes Holiday Knolls as an older subdivision and identifies an older section of east-side Old Farm Lake. Those descriptions are neighborhood context, not a condition report for your address; we look at the actual house and its repair needs, and you do not have to make repairs before asking us to buy.
Paperwork and closing questions
An appointed independent estate representative can generally sell estate property without a separate court order if the sale follows the will and serves the estate's interests. A specific gift in the will requires the named person's written consent; a sale under supervised administration may need probate-court permission. We review the deed and appointment papers with the title company and can help you find an estate attorney.
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. The property's actual county and city, taxable value, exemptions, and transaction terms affect the amount.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Where to find help

Who can sign depends on the deed and any estate, trust, or court papers. An appointed independent estate representative can generally sell estate property without a separate court order if the sale follows the will and serves the estate's interests. If the will specifically leaves the house to someone, that person's written consent is required; a sale under supervised administration may need probate-court permission. We review the papers with the title company and can help you find an Illinois estate attorney.
Yes. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place; a tenant does not have to move just because the house sells. We can review an occupied property and talk through access and occupancy. A Cash Offer has no listing-agent showings; EZ Sale includes partner visits. Lease and possession requirements depend on the lease and situation, so an Illinois attorney can advise on your specific case.
Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court. The normal redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction; the deadline and payoff depend on the court case. Paying missed installments and paying the full foreclosure amount are different options. 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. Call us promptly with the court papers and auction date so we can check whether a sale can close before the applicable deadline.
