Start with what you keep
Net proceeds are what remains after the sale price, costs, and amounts owed that apply to your house. Compare written sale terms with a realistic listing estimate after repairs, commissions, concessions, and the cost of carrying the house while it is for sale.
Use the calculator to change the assumptions for your situation, then compare its estimate with the written numbers. A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate from the closing-cost promise below.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.
EZ Sale
Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Read about code notices and repair-heavy houses →When will I get an offer, and does that set the closing date?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. That is the offer timing, not a closing date; the closing date for a particular house is one of the written terms to review.

Compare the written Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms →Who pays closing costs and Illinois transfer taxes?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. That does not include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Yes. Start with the Charleston address and what you know. Estate ownership can raise questions about who can make the sale and which papers are still needed; you can ask while you sort those out.

Yes. You can ask about a tenant-occupied house while the tenant is there. The lease, occupancy, access, and possession arrangements are facts to discuss for that property.

You may still have time if a 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.
