We buy DeKalb houses as-is, including tired rentals and long-vacant homes — no repairs, no commissions, no cleanup, and no obligation.
DeKalb has a housing market unlike anywhere else in Northern Illinois because of Northern Illinois University. That creates a large rental base, heavy turnover, and a lot of owners who are ready to be done being landlords. We buy those properties, and we buy owner-occupied homes just the same.
Whether you're an owner-occupant or a landlord winding down, here's what working with us looks like.
We live and work in Northern Illinois. You'll talk with Jose directly — not a call center in another state.
No lender, no appraisal contingency, no financing fall-through. When you're ready, we can close in a matter of weeks.
You never need to repair, paint, clean or stage anything. Take what you want and leave the rest behind.
No agent commissions, no listing fees and no surprise deductions from the number we agreed on.
We explain how we arrived at our number so you can compare it fairly against listing with an agent.
Close in two weeks or in three months. The date is yours to choose based on your move, not our schedule.
If selling isn't the right move for you, we'll say so. Talking with us never obligates you to anything.
Rental wear and tear is normal here, and it does not lower our interest in a property. We purchase homes with:
If you're not sure whether your situation fits, read through how we help homeowners or browse our experience with past homes.
DeKalb's demand cycles with the NIU calendar. Single-family homes in the Bradt and Annie Glidden areas often trade as rentals, while neighborhoods near Hopkins Park, the Ellwood Historic District, and the south side toward Barb Boulevard attract families and long-term owners.
Because a meaningful slice of DeKalb inventory has been rented for years, appraisers and inspectors frequently flag deferred maintenance that kills financed offers. We don't need the house to pass anyone's inspection.
We also buy in the surrounding DeKalb County towns where inventory turns slower and retail buyers are scarce, which is often where an as-is sale makes the biggest difference for a homeowner's timeline.
Landlords: we can review multiple DeKalb properties at once and close them together or separately.
Share the address and a little about the property. It takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
Jose calls you personally to understand your situation, answer questions and walk the property if it makes sense.
If our offer works for you, you pick the closing date. If it doesn't, there's no obligation and no follow-up pressure.
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied houses and small multi-units and honor existing leases, so you don't have to end a lease or turn the unit before selling.
Absolutely. Damaged drywall, worn flooring, missing fixtures and dated kitchens are all expected. We price the house as it sits and handle the work ourselves.
Typically two to three weeks once title is clear, and we'll gladly slow down to match a lease end date or a semester turnover.
No. No commissions, no listing fees and no repair credits negotiated back out of your proceeds.
Yes. We regularly work with families settling an estate and can coordinate directly with the attorney handling probate.
