Inherited · Out-of-state heir · Chicago
21days
Closed remotely in 21 days. Heir never flew to Illinois.
Heir inherited a North Side Chicago home and lived out of state — the last thing they wanted was to manage repairs or a listing. We walked the property ourselves, made the offer, and closed by mobile notary. Estate handled cleanly: no flights, no contractors, no agent fees.

Senior seller · Assisted living · Dixmoor
14days
Closed in 14 days, fully as-is. Seller never left her facility.
Owner was in an assisted-living community and couldn't take on a traditional sale. We met her on-site as many times as she needed, bought the Dixmoor home as-is, and put her check in hand two weeks later. No repairs, no showings, no leaving the building.
12
Pre-tax-sale · Cicero
12days
Closed in 12 days — beat the property-tax buyer.
Owner was days from losing his Cicero house to a tax purchaser. We ran comps that afternoon, made a strong cash offer, and closed inside two weeks. He used the proceeds to line up his next home before the deadline hit.
30
Tired 2-flat · West Side Chicago
30
Cash close — plus 30 extra days and a moving plan.
Owner-occupant of a 2-flat in rough shape on Chicago's West Side, ready to be done with it. We bought as-is, gave her an extra month of post-close occupancy, helped her find a new place, and scheduled the movers for her.
14
Inherited · Title fraud · South Side Chicago
14days
Closed in 14 days, sight-unseen — through a forged-deed claim.
Out-of-state heir inherited a South Side Chicago property — but a family member living there had recorded a forged deed at the county to stall the sale. We bought sight-unseen, took on the legal cleanup ourselves, and closed once title was clear.

IV · Questions, answered honestly
The honest answersto questions sellers actually ask.
Standard close is 14–30 days. If you have a hard deadline — auction, financial, life event — we can compress to 10–14 days using cash. Tell us the date when we talk, and we'll commit to it on the contract.
We pay below retail — that's how a cash, as-is, no-fee sale works. But it's a real number, and we'll walk you through how we got there: the after-repair value, the rehab cost, the carrying costs, the margin we need. No games, no theater.
None. The number on our offer is the number you walk away with at closing. No commissions, no buyer fees, no junk fees, no closing-cost surprises (we cover them).
No. Truly as-is. We don't need showings, we don't need photos, we don't need the house staged. Leave the stuff you don't want.
Then talk to us anyway and decide later. We'll explain the options — sell to us, list with a broker, work with the lender if there's mortgage trouble, talk to an attorney if there's probate. You don't owe us anything for that conversation.
Yes. Our offer is no-obligation. Even after a contract is signed, there's an inspection period where you can back out if something changes. We don't pressure. We don't chase.
Not required, but you can absolutely have one. We work directly with attorneys all the time. Our title company handles deed transfer, lien resolution, and closing paperwork — but if you want independent counsel reviewing the contract, do it.
About a third of our sellers are. We coordinate everything by phone, text, email, and video walkthrough. You don't need to fly in. The closing can be mobile or fully remote — DocuSign, mobile notary, whatever fits.
