Sell your before relocating Chicago house for cash — we buy direct

When a job move forces a tight timeline, a traditional 60-120 day MLS listing rarely lines up with your start date. A direct cash sale to us gives you a firm closing date — often inside 14-21 days — so you can sign the dotted line before you ship the moving truck.

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.
