Get a cash offer in Chicago, Aurora, Rockford, and across Illinois
Cook County bungalows, the Fox Valley, and northern Illinois are very different housing markets, so every offer is priced on that city's own numbers instead of a statewide average. Wherever your house sits in Illinois, you can get a cash offer on it.

How getting a cash offer on your Illinois house works
Tell us about your Illinois property
A Chicago bungalow, a Rockford house that needs work, a Fox Valley rental? It all counts. Answer a handful of quick questions. Two minutes, no obligation.
Get your cash offer
We check your house against current market data for your city and send you a cash offer. We walk you through how we got to the number, and our offers don't expire.
Review your offer and decide
Look the offer over and accept it or walk away. If you move ahead, we coordinate closing with an Illinois real estate attorney or title company in as few as 7 days, or whenever suits you. No fees either way.
Example shown for illustration only, not a real offer. Every offer is based on the house and its local market.
Sell your Illinois house as-is, in any condition
Illinois has some of the oldest housing stock in the Midwest, from Chicago bungalows and greystones to brick two-flats, and houses that need work are exactly the kind we make offers on. Skip the contractors, the punch list, and the cleanout, and go straight to closing. Illinois uses a Residential Real Property Disclosure Report, and we're used to handling it.
-
Aging systems in an older house
A tired furnace or boiler, a worn roof, knob-and-tube wiring and old plumbing, we price it in
-
Foundation, masonry, or tuckpointing issues
Settling, a cracked foundation, or brickwork that needs tuckpointing don't send us running
-
Inherited houses full of belongings
Keep what matters, leave the rest, we clear it out
-
Tenants still in the property
No need to wait out the lease. Sell with renters in place
-
Water, storm, or fire damage
A flooded basement or a hard Chicago winter takes a toll, and we still make offers

The Illinois housing market, by the numbers
Redfin, 3-month medians ending May 2026 (Rockford ending April 2026). A statewide average tells you almost nothing about your house, so every offer is priced on your city's own data.
Illinois prices are still climbing, but with more houses on the market and the typical listing now taking about seven weeks to sell, a listing is no longer the quickest or most certain path. A cash sale trades the very top of the market for a firm date and a clean close, handled by an Illinois real estate attorney or title company on the day you pick. Illinois also carries some of the highest property taxes in the country, one more carrying cost worth weighing as you compare your options.

A direct cash homebuyer is a company that makes offers on houses with its own funds and closes the purchase itself, rather than listing a house or lining up an outside buyer on your behalf. That is how Propcash works in Illinois: we look at your house and your local market, put a cash offer in front of you, and you decide whether it fits. There are no commissions or fees, no repairs, and no showings, and you choose the closing date.
Common situations we help Illinois homeowners navigate
Whatever brought you here, you can get a fair cash offer from Propcash.
Behind on mortgage payments
Illinois runs foreclosures through the courts, and the process often stretches a year or more. That leaves room to weigh a cash offer and pay off the mortgage before a judicial sale, which can help protect your credit.
Inherited a house you don't want
We know how Illinois probate works, from the Cook County courts on down. Get a cash offer, sell as-is, keep what you want and leave the rest behind.
Done being a landlord
Sell your Illinois rental with the tenants still in place, no eviction required. Chicago two-flats and three-flats with renters are routine for us.
House needs major repairs
When the roof, the boiler, or the masonry would cost more than you want to spend, skip it entirely and get an offer from a buyer who plans to renovate.
Divorce or separation
One clear number, shown with the reasoning behind it, and a closing date that works for both sides.
Relocating for work
Pick a closing date that lines up with the move and go without a listing dragging on behind you.
The Propcash Promise
High-pressure sales tactics aren't how we work. Here is how that commitment shows up for Illinois sellers.
No expiration date
Take the time you need to weigh a cash offer. You will never get a hard deadline or a countdown from us.
No aggressive follow up
We reach out on your schedule, not ours. No drip emails, no repeat calls, no chasing.
We'll tell you if a cash sale isn't your best move
If listing with an agent would serve you better, we will say so and point you to a local one. Straight answers, every time.
Frequently asked questions about selling in Illinois
How fast can you close on an Illinois house?
If you accept a cash offer, we can close in as few as 7 days when speed matters most. Illinois closings usually involve a real estate attorney, especially around Chicago, which keeps the paperwork sound. If you need more time to line up your next place or coordinate a move, that works too. You pick the closing date.
Which Illinois cities can I get a cash offer in?
Statewide. That includes Chicago and its neighborhoods across Cook County, Aurora and the rest of the Fox Valley and western suburbs, and Rockford and northern Illinois, plus Naperville, Joliet, Elgin, Waukegan, Springfield, Peoria, Champaign, Bloomington, and smaller towns in between. If your house is in Illinois, you can request a cash offer on it.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. There are no agent commissions, no closing costs billed to you, and no hidden charges. Propcash is free for Illinois sellers from start to finish, so the cash offer you accept is what you walk away with at closing.
Will I owe Illinois state income tax when I sell my house?
Illinois has a flat state income tax of about 4.95%, but selling your house is not automatically taxed as income. If the property was your primary residence, the federal home-sale exclusion may cover much or all of a qualifying gain. Illinois also carries some of the highest property taxes in the country, which is a separate cost worth weighing. Everyone's situation is different, so confirm the details with a tax professional before you close.
What is the Illinois housing market like right now?
As of May 2026, Redfin reports a median Illinois sale price of $333,814, up 5.6% year over year, with a statewide median of 50 days on market and about 2.9% more houses for sale than a year ago. The metros vary widely, from Chicago near a $420,000 median to Rockford closer to $170,000, so many sellers who want a firm date and a certain close look at a cash offer instead of a long listing.
My house needs significant repairs. Can I still get an offer?
Yes. Propcash makes cash offers on Illinois houses as-is, in any condition. Aging furnaces and boilers, a worn roof, knob-and-tube wiring, a cracked foundation, tuckpointing, water damage, and years of deferred upkeep are all fine. You do not need to spend a dollar fixing or cleaning anything before you sell.
Can I sell an Illinois rental with tenants still living there?
Yes. You can sell a tenant-occupied rental with the renters in place, so there is no need to wait out a lease or start an eviction first. Chicago two-flats and three-flats with tenants are routine for us, and landlords ready to be done with a property are one of the most common sellers we work with in Illinois.
What happens after I request an offer?
Usually within 24 hours, we review your house against local Illinois market data and send you a cash offer. Your point of contact walks you through how we reached the number. From there you decide, and if you accept, we coordinate closing with an Illinois real estate attorney or title company on the date you pick. There is no obligation at any point.
