Illinois selling-cost fact
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. On $100,000 of taxable value, the state tax alone is $100; if the county tax applies at that rate, the state-and-county total is $150 before any city tax. Exemptions and the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount, and the property’s actual county and city determine the local taxes and who is responsible for them.
Ask the title company to show the transaction’s taxable value, any exemption, applicable county or city taxes, and the party allocation. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“My husband retired from Methodist Medical Center and then his health declined fast. I needed the equity from the house to move both of us into continuing care. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number and closed in eight days. We were both in care within a month.”
“Got a plant manager offer at a Caterpillar supplier in Nashville. I had five weeks. My North Peoria house was in decent shape but I couldn't do showings from Tennessee while I was starting a new job. USA Home Buyers closed ten days after I accepted the offer. I drove to Nashville with one less thing to think about.”
“My father worked at Caterpillar for thirty-one years and owned his East Bluff home outright. When he passed, four of us siblings had to decide what to do with a house that needed a new roof, electrical updates, and had been sitting empty for eight months. USA Home Buyers gave us a written offer two days after we called. We closed in sixteen days.”
