Sell your inherited Chicago house for cash — we buy direct
Inheriting a house often arrives with a long list of decisions: clearing personal property, handling out-of-state logistics, sometimes settling a deceased relative's estate. Selling directly to us for cash is usually faster and cleaner than listing on the open market — we buy inherited houses as-is, with no showings, no commissions, and no required repairs.
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.
