For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents per $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. The property’s actual county and city, taxable value, exemptions, and transaction determine what applies. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing.

Often, yes. An independent estate representative can generally sell estate property without a separate court order if the sale follows the will and serves the estate’s interests. If the will specifically leaves the house to someone, that person’s written consent is required for this kind of sale; supervised administration may need probate-court permission. A valid transfer-on-death instrument may pass the property outside probate. The deed, will, and appointment papers determine who can sign and what is needed to close.

Illinois mortgage foreclosures go through court. You may still have time if the sale can close and pay the required debt before the applicable deadline. The normal redemption deadline is before the foreclosure auction; the case determines the exact deadline and payoff. 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. Share the court papers and sale date promptly so we can work out whether a sale can close in time.

Yes. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease in place; the tenant does not have to move simply because the house sells. If you want to end an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, state law generally requires 30 days’ written notice, but local rules and the lease can require more. Security deposits and prepaid rent need to be accounted for at closing, and an ordinary sale does not automatically release the previous landlord from those obligations.

You keep your insurance proceeds when we buy the house exactly as it stands. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.

Open violations do not necessarily mean you cannot sell. The property’s actual orders and local sale requirements matter, and selling does not make an existing order or lien disappear. Share notices early so the buyer and closing professional can work through repairs, deadlines, and closing requirements. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
