Let’s dive into how you can sell your local Chicago house fast and get cash for your house in the process without having to list your house with a real estate agent, or wait months for it to sell.
How Do Cash For Homes in Chicago Buyers Work?
Finding reputable local Chicago house buyers who pay cash for homes in Chicago can be a daunting task. However, with a little research, you can find that there are several investors out there looking to buy property for cash. Here are some of the things you should look at when you’re working with local cash home buyers (including our company, Blue Ladder Development, we buy local Chicago IL houses fast).
And before you dive in below… if you’re not sure how the process of a cash buyer like Blue Ladder Development buying your local Chicago house works… check out our “How it Works” page on this site and our FAQ.
Price And Time Are Trade-Offs – Which Is More Important To You?
Getting the full market value for your home typically involves considerable time and effort to achieve. In many cases the full market value is simply an educated guess and the price of any property is a moving target. This why when you interview different agents you will get a range of different opinions of value.
To get within the range of full market value you will most likely have to enlist the professional services of a local real estate agent. A good real estate agent will create a custom marketing plan for your property and spend months working to find you the best buyer for your property. Of course, a good real estate agent is going to charge you a commission to sell your property that you will have to pay.
Also, finding the right buyer is going to take time and in today’s market with unemployment at historically high levels there are fewer buyers around. Finding the best buyer for your property is going to take months, so the question is are you willing to wait it out?
Most often, local Chicago house buyers like Blue Ladder Development, we’ll evaluate your house… determine what it’s worth if it’s fully fixed up… determine how much we’ll have to invest in repairing / renovating the property… how long it will take us… and of course we have to turn a small profit for our risk in buying the house, renovating, and selling it… so we do tend to make offers that are below the full retail market value.
But we can close quickly (in as little as 7 days if you need us to)… so if selling your house fast with zero hassle at all is more important than getting every penny out of the sale… submit your info on the form on this next page or give us a call at 630-387-6861.
We can make you a fast no-hassle offer in less than 24 hours.
We like to make sure every house seller we work with knows all of their options, and we even encourage you to get other offers and shop them around. We won’t be offering the lowest price in town… we often won’t offer you the highest price… but you can be assured that when we make you an offer, we’ll follow through with what we say we’ll do.
How Much Work Do You Want To Put Into Making Your Chicago IL House Sell?
Another big factor that local Chicago cash home buyers like Blue Ladder Development can offer is we take 100% of all of the work and hassle to sell your house off of your hands.
We handle it all. There are many unknowns involved in selling a house to deal with such as what improvements should I make before marketing my home?….how much will my house sell for?….what repairs will the buyer require to perform?…..how long will it take to sell my house?
No, we’re not listing your house like an agent does. With that route… you’ll still have to clean up your house… get it ready to show it when the streams of potential buyers want to see it… go back and forth through your agent with the buyers on price and terms, etc.
Getting the full market value price for your home is going to take a lot of work from you as the owner of the property. If your house needs repairs and remodeling done before marketing it then you’ll be spending a considerable amount of time to get the full value out of the property.
But, we offer cash for houses in Chicago IL because we’re professional home buyers based locally here in Chicago. If a house needs work, we’ll buy it as-is and we’ll pay for the repairs it needs out of our pocket after we buy it from you. And you won’t have to worry about the paperwork either… we’ll get it all created at a reputable neutral party closing agent in town of your choosing… or we can recommend the ones we’ve used for years.
Basically, we can make you a fair all cash offer on your Chicago house (or Call Us Today at 630-387-6861!)… and if it’s a fit, great! We’ll handle everything.
Do Your Research And Trust Your Gut
Before you decide to go with an investor offering cash for your property, be sure to investigate their reputation carefully. Consider asking for references from the investor. Talk to people the investor has worked with in the past to determine whether they are the right fit for you.
There are people out there who are less than honest… so make sure to do your research, talk to them and make sure you can trust them, and that they can actually close on the offer they made you on time.
We take our reputation seriously and are glad to answer any questions you have about us, how the process works, and how we can help you.
