What we do

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

You don't need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. Tell us about the property and tenancy.

If access, repairs, rent, or the lease is the hard part, bring that into the conversation. We can discuss the house with the tenants still there and talk about what kind of handoff may fit.

Bring us the tenant problem

If the lease, access, repairs, or a move-out discussion is making the sale hard, tell us what is happening. We can talk through the house and what might work.

Call 888-274-5006 and tell us about the property, the people living there, and what is getting in the way.

What happens next

  1. 1. We discuss the house and tenancy

    We talk about the house, who lives there, the lease, access, rent, deposits, repairs, and the timing you have in mind.

  2. 2. You review the written offer and terms

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the proposed price and terms before deciding whether to commit.

  3. 3. The title company prepares for closing

    The closing conversation covers the lease, occupancy, deposit and prepaid-rent records, ownership, and the sale documents. The title company handles the closing paperwork, and you review the written settlement figures.

    Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.

Illinois leases, notice, and security deposits

An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place, so tenants can stay under its terms after the house sells.

Illinois lease and notice law — 735 ILCS 5/9-207

If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, Illinois generally requires 30 days' written notice. Month-to-month means the rental renews by the month. Your lease or local rules can require more.
