Sell The Traditional Way
Listing your house with a real estate agent
The time, money, and stress involved in listing your Chicago property on the market truly adds up, especially with older homes.
- It could take months to sell your house
While your property sits on the market, you continue to incur expenses and potential code violation fines—and not everyone can afford to wait 90+ days for a traditional sale to close. - Fees and commissions quickly accumulate
Beyond standard closing costs, commissions and fees can dramatically reduce your final proceeds. Typically, sellers pay approximately 6% in commissions and fees alone, plus potential costs to address city ordinance violations. - Open Houses and disruptions to your daily routine
Beyond preparing your home for viewings, the constant interruptions from multiple showings can severely disrupt your family’s daily life, especially challenging with older Chicago homes. - You may be required to address costly code violations
Based on inspection findings, you could be responsible for unexpected and costly repairs or city ordinance violations you weren’t previously aware of.
Is Selling A House To A “We Buy Houses” Company In Chicago A Good Idea?
Listing with a real estate agent is perfect for homeowners with well-maintained, code-compliant properties who have the flexibility to wait for the right buyer. While the Chicago real estate market is robust and attractive properties are selling quickly, not every seller has the luxury of time.
However, a direct home buying company like ours with bilingual expertise can help you sidestep the obstacles and delays typically associated with traditional home sales, especially for older Chicago homes with unique challenges.
Conventional sales often involve multiple showings, open houses, the anxiety of inspections, city code compliance issues, and the uncertainty of buyers whose financing arrangements may collapse.
All these factors can significantly increase stress levels and add months to your selling timeline, particularly with older Chicago properties that may have accumulated violations.
When you consider agent commissions, repair demands, and potential village violations from prospective buyers, the amount you ultimately receive is frequently much lower than the advertised sale price.

Your Options For Selling a House In Chicago
Chicago homeowners generally choose between listing with an agent, selling the property themselves, or selling directly to a cash buyer. The best option depends on your timeline, property condition, and priorities.
List With A Real Estate Agent: May provide broad market exposure, but usually involves repairs, showings, commissions, and more time.
Sell It Yourself (FSBO): Gives you more control, but you handle the marketing, negotiations, paperwork, and buyer search.
Sell Directly To CVG Properties LLC: Sell as-is, avoid showings and commissions, and choose a closing date that works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about how selling your house for cash works? You’re not alone. We’ve answered some of the most common questions homeowners ask when exploring a quick, cash-hassle home sale.
How does your home-buying process work?
We keep it straightforward and transparent — tell us about your property, we’ll arrange a quick in-person or virtual assessment, and you’ll receive a fair, no-obligation cash offer. If you accept, you pick the closing date that works for your timeline. No renovations needed, no open houses, no complications — just a clear path forward.
Will you be listing my home on the MLS or actually buying it?
Great question. While Cristian is a licensed real estate broker in Illinois since 2013, we don’t list homes. We are professional home buyers who specialize in properties with unique challenges: We buy homes in Chicago that meet our purchasing criteria. After acquisition, we typically renovate the property to resolve any issues and either resell it to another homeowner or add it to our rental portfolio for long-term investment.
Should I list with a Realtor instead?
It really depends on your specific situation. If you’re seeking maximum market value and have time on your side, listing with an agent might be your best option. However, if convenience, speed & certainty are your priorities and you’re comfortable with a fair but slightly lower offer, then working with a transparent cash home buyer like us could be ideal, especially for older homes with potential code violations.
For properties needing significant work or those with city ordinance violations that can’t qualify for conventional financing, even a Realtor would ultimately need to find a cash buyer. In these situations, you’d end up with both a discounted cash price AND Realtor commissions, fees & closing costs. Our team eliminates those extra expenses, handles any code violations directly, and provides a transparent process with no surprises—something particularly valuable for older homes.
Beyond our straightforward cash offers, we also offer a unique “Novation” option that can secure you more money than a standard cash deal. With this approach, we partner with you to sell to a third-party buyer. We handle all necessary repairs, pay all sales commissions, and guarantee you a net price typically 10-15% higher than a cash offer. This option works particularly well for properties in decent condition, giving you flexibility based on your specific circumstances.
Many homeowners don’t fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of working with a real estate agent versus a direct buyer. As a licensed real estate broker since 2013 with probate specialist certification, we’re uniquely qualified to help you make this decision. Simply complete one of our webforms or give us a call, and we’ll provide honest, straightforward guidance on the best strategy for selling your home—whether you’re facing foreclosure, probate deadlines, or just need a quick, hassle-free sale.
Do you pay fair prices for properties?
Many of the homes we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell at a profit to another home owner). We are looking to get a fair discount on a property. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property but rather appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly (no waiting for financing), and no time or effort, or expense is required on your part of fix up the property or pay agent fees. If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your home sold fast…let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)
How do you determine the price to offer on my home?
Great question, and we’re an open book: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable homes sold in the area recently. As you know, home values have taken a huge hit in the last 5 years and most areas still haven’t seen prices come back up. We take many pieces of information into consideration… and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
There are no fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to CVG Properties LLC. We’ll make you a no-obligation cash offer, and if you accept, we can cover the normal closing costs. There are no agent commissions or surprise charges.
We make our profit after we purchase the property and handle the repairs, cleanup, or renovations ourselves. You can sell as-is and move forward without paying to prepare the house for sale.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your home (so if it’s a $100,000 home, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys homes. We don’t list homes. Since we’re actually the ones buying the home from you, and we pay with all cash…we can make a decision to buy your home within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the home with our own cash, repair the home, and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).
Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, 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 home to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
How will I receive payment for my home?
At CVG Properties LLC, we offer flexible payment options for our sellers. Depending on where you choose to close (at the title company’s office or at your preferred location), you’ll typically receive payment either through a secure wire transfer directly to your bank account or via a certified cashier’s cheque.
1 – Closing At The Title Company: When you visit the title company to sign your closing documents, you’ll receive either a cashier’s cheque or a wire transfer to your bank account, based on your preference. As part of our transparent process, we always strive to ensure our funds are already in place before you arrive, minimizing any waiting time. In some situations—particularly with properties that have code violations or unique circumstances—you may need to sign documents before funding occurs. Rest assured, we maintain clear, open communication throughout the entire process so you’ll always know exactly what to expect.
2 – Mobile Closing: For your convenience, especially if you’re under time constraints, we offer a mobile closing option. We’ll send a professional notary to your location to notarize the closing documents. After signing, you’ll typically receive payment within 1-2 days. The notary will overnight your documents to the title company, who will hold them in escrow until our funds are received. This process protects both parties while ensuring a smooth transaction. Once funding is complete, you’ll receive your payment via wire transfer or overnight cashier’s cheque, whichever works best for you.
