Frequently asked questions about selling in Illinois
How do Chicago's high property taxes affect cash offers?
Chicago and Cook County have some of the highest property taxes in the nation, often 2-3% of assessed value annually. Propcash factors this into our offer, and we have experience buying in high-tax markets. Our offer is based on local market data, and we'll show you how we got to our number, whatever your tax situation.
What Illinois cities do you cover?
We buy houses across Illinois: Chicago and all 77 neighborhoods, the collar counties (DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, McHenry), Aurora, Naperville, Joliet, Rockford, Springfield, Peoria, Champaign-Urbana, and many smaller cities. We buy throughout Chicago's South Side and West Side too.
Does Illinois require an attorney at closing?
Yes. Illinois is an attorney state, meaning a licensed attorney must be involved in real estate closings. We work with experienced real estate attorneys throughout Illinois. The attorney fees are covered as part of the transaction, so there's no additional cost to you, and it won't significantly impact your closing timeline.
How fast can you close on an Illinois property?
Most Illinois sales with Propcash close in 10-14 days. Even with the required attorney involvement, we work with attorneys who specialize in fast cash transactions. When sellers need maximum speed, we've closed in as few as 7 days.
Why does Propcash buy Illinois properties despite high taxes?
Chicago is America's third-largest city with a diversified economy across finance, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and tech. The South Side offers entry prices under $100K with rents exceeding $1,000/month, delivering strong cash flow even after taxes. We also buy in the collar counties. We price each house from local market data and show you how we got to our number.
My Chicago property needs significant work. Will you still buy it?
Absolutely. Chicago has a huge inventory of older properties, including graystones, bungalows, 2-flats, and multi-units, many needing substantial rehabilitation. We buy these houses as-is. Outdated systems, structural issues, fire damage, deferred maintenance, we've seen it all and price our offer accordingly.
Are there any fees or commissions?
Zero. No realtor commissions (typically 5-6% in Illinois), no closing costs, no attorney fees for you, no hidden charges. Propcash is completely free for Illinois sellers. The cash offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
How is Propcash different from Chicago "we buy houses" companies?
Chicago has no shortage of "we buy houses" signs, postcards, and cold calls. These companies make you one lowball offer and hope you accept. Propcash is different. We're a direct cash homebuyer that prices your house from local market data, and we show you how we got to our number. You get a fair cash offer with no obligation, not a take-it-or-leave-it lowball.
What happens after I submit my property information?
Within 24 hours, we review your property against local Illinois market data and prepare a fair cash offer. Your point of contact walks you through our number and how we got there. You decide whether to accept (if at all), then we coordinate closing with an Illinois real estate attorney. There's zero obligation at any step.
