The 1% Realtor is an Experienced Full Time Real Estate Broker (since 1987). We specialize in closing real estate offers fast. We can get your house sold and closed quickly, even if your bank has started the foreclosure process. No matter what you are going through, we can help.

We are professional real estate buyers. We know how to get closings completed quickly.

When you contact us, we will work with you to determine which approach is best for your goals. We can either make you an immediate cash offer or we can put our experience and expertise to work and list your house for top dollar in the Illinois market.

If selling to us for cash, we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house, but we offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.

Such as…

From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days.

Avoid paying one more month of utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, and mortgage payments by selling your house to us for a fair cash amount. We want to mkae you a cash offer on your house in 24 hours and help you close on your property in less than a week.

Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer.

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects). We want to make an offer on your house, no matter what the condition!

Don’t worry about paying those pesky closing fees. We’ve got you covered.

Because we are a full-service professional home buyer in Illinois, we make selling easy. This includes paying for all closing costs! What we offer you is what you get (minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, eh?

When you add up the time you could save by working with The 1% Realtor, our guarantee of a no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs, it’s why so many Downers Grove area homeowners prefer selling to a professional house buyer with a great reputation for helping out those in need.
