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 always 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.
If you want to discuss a move-out arrangement, tell us what you and the tenants are considering. Selling with tenants in place is also an option to discuss.
Bring us the tenancy, access, or repair problem
Lease timing, limited access, needed repairs, or a move-out conversation getting in the way? Tell us what is happening with the house. You can call before you have a plan for the tenancy.
Call 888-274-5006 and talk it through.
What happens next
1. We discuss the lease, occupancy, and house
We talk through who lives there, what the lease says, access, the house’s condition, any deposit or prepaid-rent details, and the timing you are considering.
2. You review the written offer and terms
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
3. The title company handles the closing
The lease, occupancy, deposit and prepaid-rent accounting, and property documents are part of the closing discussion. The written terms set out what you are agreeing to.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Will County Recorder of Deeds

Illinois lease, notice, possession, and security-deposit rules
An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place. A tenant does not have to move simply because the house sells. The lease and the facts of the tenancy still matter to notice, possession, and the handoff.
Illinois notice and possession law — 735 ILCS 5/9-207
If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, Illinois generally requires 30 days’ written notice. Local rules or the lease can require more. Selling the house by itself does not cancel the lease or make it vacant.
Illinois Security Deposit Return Act — 765 ILCS 710/1.1
Security deposits and prepaid rent need to be accounted for at closing. An ordinary sale does not automatically release the previous landlord from those obligations. Keep the lease, deposit balance, prepaid-rent record, and information about who holds the funds available for the closing discussion.
