What matters is what you keep
Your net is what remains after the sale price is compared with the costs and obligations tied to the property. A headline price alone does not show what you keep.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes.
That promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Compare the written numbers and your property details before deciding.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Compare what you would keep and the responsibilities in each path. Read the written terms for the house before you choose.
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.

Danville seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Danville house as-is if it needs repairs or cleanout?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Start with the house as it sits and tell us what you know about its condition.
What will I keep, and who pays the closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your net is what remains after the sale price is compared with the costs and obligations tied to the property. This promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Compare the written numbers for your situation rather than assuming a standard amount.
How do the Cash Offer and EZ Sale options compare?
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.
How soon could a sale close?
The Cash Offer program term is 30 days or less; the EZ Sale program term is 60 days or less. Those are program terms, not a promised closing date for a specific property. Read the written terms for the proposed timing after the property and closing details are reviewed.
Can I ask about an inherited house before all the paperwork is ready?
Yes. You can call while estate paperwork is still being gathered. The title company, court, or an attorney can help confirm who has authority to sign and what the specific property needs before a closing timeline is relied on.
Can you review a tenant-occupied Danville house?
Yes. We can review tenant-occupied properties. Tell us what you know about the lease, occupancy, access limits, rent situation, and any notices already involved. The lease and any applicable process should be considered before a closing plan is set.
Can I sell my Illinois house while it is in foreclosure?
You may still have time if the 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. 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.
Start with the question you have
You can call before every document is gathered or every detail is settled. Start with the address, what you know about the house, and the question or deadline on your mind. We can talk through the next useful step with the information you have.
