Chicago, IL · downsizing retirement
Sell your while downsizing Chicago house for cash — we buy direct
When you're ready to right-size into something smaller or move closer to family, the last thing you want is six months of showings and a listing agent walking strangers through your home. Selling directly to us skips the public listing, lets you pick the closing date that fits your move, and lets you take the equity straight into your next chapter.
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.
