The short answer

You can compare a direct sale with listing the house, including the costs, work, timing, and what you would keep. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to start with the property address.
Compare your choices
A listing can put a move-in-ready house in front of retail buyers. It commonly involves pricing, preparing the house, photos, showings, offer negotiations, inspection requests, and the buyer’s financing and closing steps. An agent can estimate the costs and likely net proceeds for your property.
For a Cash Offer, USA Home Buyers buys directly. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. Compare the written terms with a listing plan and what you would keep after the costs and obligations that apply to your property.
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
Enos Park includes small-to-medium single-family homes and apartment complexes; many homes there were built between 1940 and 1969, with some built earlier. If your house is older or needs repairs, we buy it as-is so you can compare a direct offer with the time and cost of repairs.
Closing questions
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 local taxes and responsibility.
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 from those closing costs.

Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court. The normal redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction, and the applicable date depends on the court case. Signing a purchase agreement does not automatically postpone the auction or extend the redemption deadline. If you contact us with the court papers and sale date, we can work out whether a sale could 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.
