Sell your vacant Chicago house for cash — we buy direct
Vacant houses get more expensive every month: utilities, taxes, insurance, and the slow deterioration of an unoccupied building. We buy vacant houses and know how to assess and price condition issues quickly — there's no listing season, no showings, no need to make it presentable before closing.
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.
