Sell your fire- or water-damaged Chicago house for cash — we buy direct
Damaged property scares off most retail buyers, but it's exactly what we want. You don't need to file an insurance claim before selling, you don't need to clean up the damage, and you don't need to disclose more than the standard state-required seller disclosure. Sold as-is means as-is.
Lockwood Home Buyers makes cash offers directly to homeowners — no fees, no commissions, and no obligation to accept. We are not a real-estate agent or broker; we buy houses for cash.
How a Illinois closing works
Illinois closings run through title companies, with attorneys customarily involved in the Chicago area. Cash closings in two to three weeks are routine.
Illinois charges $0.50 per $500 at the state level plus $0.25 per $500 to the county; Chicago layers on its own city transfer tax. The seller share depends on where the property sits.
