If have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us (or give us a call at (708) 785-1642). We would be happy to speak with you about our process for selling your home for a fair cash price, fast.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: At The 1% Realtor, our focus is on helping you sell your house with the method that will work best for reaching your goals. If you’re looking for speed and convenience, we can buy your house for cash in as little as one week. If you wish to list you home on the MLSNI (Multiple Listing Service Northern Illinois) to get top dollar for your home, we can provide that service as well. Whatever you need, we have you covered.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: When we purchase a Downers Grove area home for cash, we often purchase it below market value so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner at a later date. With our Cash Offer Program, we are looking to get a fair discount on a property from Northern Illinois sellers that want a quick and hassle-free cash sale. By paying cash for your home, we are able to skip the hassle of a traditional bank financing and close very quickly, with no waiting for financing, inspections, etc. We also are able to cover all your closing costs, and we never charge a commission with a direct cash sale.
If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, contact us today and let’s see if we can come to a win-win price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you won’t have to move forward with the cash offer if it doesn’t fit your needs, but it’s good to know what we’re offering!
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Our process is very straightforward. The values of comparable houses sold in the area recently are gathered from recently sold properties found in the Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois which, as a full-time Broker, I am member of and you will have “free” access to when you work with us. We use this information along with the location of the property, what repairs are needed, and the current condition of the property to come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: As both real estate investors and licensed real estate agents for the greater Northern Illinois area, we have multiple ways we can work with you to sell your home. If you choose to have us list your house on the MLSNI, our fees are 1% which is 50% less than what traditional agents charge. However, we do have a NO FEE option, which is our Quick Cash Close. For homes and situations that qualify, we will make you a fair, all-cash offer, charge no fees, and pay all closing costs as well. If this sounds like the right option for you, contact us at (708) 785-1642 or submit your information through our easy form below. We will walk you through how we can help you sell your Downers Grove area house or rental property as quickly or as slowly as you need.
Q: How are you different from a traditional real estate agent?
A: Great question! Years ago we discovered that so many Chicago SW Suburban sellers were being ignored and under-served by their local real estate investors AND agents. These real estate professionals might have wanted to help their clients, but they were limited in how they could solve a homeowner’s problem if the situation was at all unique or difficult.
For most real estate agents to take on a listing the house has to be “show ready,” which often requires you, the homeowner, to fix up the property, pay for repairs out of pocket, deal with intrusive inspections, hold open houses, and more, and all of this with no guarantee your buyer won’t back out at the last minute or have their financing fall through!
On the other hand, many real estate investors make cash offers based off of a formula that works for their business model but, for a seller who isn’t necessarily in a hurry or is willing to go through the steps for a traditional home sale, that offer is often way too low.
At The 1% Realtor, we are able to serve our clients by providing them with several options to sell. If you’re after speed and convenience, don’t want to deal with repairs, and you’re willing to give up a bit of equity for that convenience, our Cash Offer Program may be right for you. If you’re seeking top dollar and can wait for the right retail buyer to come long, great! We can list your home on the MLSNI to get you the most money possible for your home.
Essentially, the primary way we are different is that we don’t box you in to a single option. We offer choices so you can choose what works for you!
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. Our guarantee of a no-hassle sale means that we won’t hassle or harass you into making a decision that might not be right for you. We want you to decide what’s right for you!
