Selling a house the traditional way in Chicago can be overwhelming. Between realtor commissions, repair costs, and waiting months for the right buyer, the process isn’t just slow—it’s expensive and stressful.

But there’s a simpler way.

If you’re facing foreclosure, relocation, probate, or just want to skip the hassle, selling your house to a local cash buyer in Chicago could be your best option.

At Express Property Solutions, we’ve simplified the process into just four fast, no-hassle steps—so you can sell your home and move on with peace of mind.

Traditional Selling vs. Selling to a Cash Buyer

According to SmartAsset, the average U.S. home takes over two months to sell. That doesn’t include closing delays, failed inspections, or buyer financing issues.

On top of that, most sellers spend thousands on:

• Pre-sale repairs or remodeling

• Realtor commissions (typically 6%)

• Holding costs like property taxes, utilities, and insurance

Studies from Remodeling Magazine show that sellers typically recoup less than 75% of their remodeling costs. That’s why more homeowners are choosing to sell directly to professional cash buyers.

The 4 Easy Steps to Sell Your Chicago House for Cash

Step 1: Reach Out to Us

Call us at 312-764-0989 or fill out our contact form to get started.
You’ll answer a few basic questions about the property. No cleaning, staging, or prep work required.

Our team will respond quickly—often within a few hours—and schedule a time to visit the property at your convenience.

Step 2: Property Walkthrough

We’ll visit your property in person and take a look at its condition. There’s no need to make any repairs, and we won’t judge the condition of the home.

We’ll walk the property with you and answer any questions you have about our process. This is also when we gather the info needed to make you an accurate cash offer.

If you’re wondering what we check during a visit, this walkthrough guide may help.

Step 3: Receive Your Cash Offer

After evaluating the property, we’ll make you a firm cash offer—typically the same day.

There are no agents involved, no appraisals, and no loan approvals. We buy houses with our own funds, so your deal won’t fall through at the last minute.

There are also no hidden fees or deductions. The number we offer is the amount you’ll receive at closing.

Step 4: Decide and Close On Your Timeline

You are in control. If you accept our offer, you choose the closing date—whether that’s one week from now or in a few months.

We work with a local title company to finalize everything quickly. Most sellers who work with us close in 7 to 14 days, with payment issued at closing.

No surprises. No pressure. Just a clean sale and a clear path forward.
