Illinois sale costs
Check the transfer tax for the property’s actual city and county
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 the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount. The property’s actual county and city determine local taxes and who is responsible for them.
Ask the title or closing professional to show the transfer taxes, any exemption, and who pays them for this property. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. That does not pay the seller’s mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers in Champaign have said about working with us.
“Tornado touched down two blocks away in June and our fence, garage, and back half of the roof were destroyed. Insurance took three weeks to send someone. USA Home Buyers was there in two days, made a fair cash offer accounting for the damage, and closed while we were still arguing with the insurance adjuster. The settlement check was mine to keep.”
“My father was a UIUC engineering professor for 28 years. When he passed, my brother and I were in Seattle and Boston — neither of us had been back to Champaign in years. The house in Southwest Champaign had original 1970s HVAC and a basement with water intrusion. USA Home Buyers had a written number within 24 hours and we closed without either of us flying back.”
“After the property management company I worked for closed, I never got fully caught back up. By the time the Champaign County case was filed, I was six months behind. USA Home Buyers got me a written offer within forty-eight hours and closed in thirteen days before summary judgment. I had $31,000 in equity I almost lost.”
