Sell your in-probate Chicago house for cash — we buy direct
Houses tied up in probate can still be sold for cash, but the process has more moving parts than a typical sale. We handle probate purchases regularly and are familiar with court confirmations, executor authority, and the state-specific quirks that delay open-market listings.
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.
