Common Questions
Will you really buy my house directly?+
Yes. SoldHouse purchases your home with our own funds and closes in our name — we're not listing it or assigning a contract to someone else.
How is SoldHouse different from a wholesaler?+
In Illinois you can't legally wholesale houses, so we don't. SoldHouse is the actual buyer — we purchase your home with our own funds and close in our name. No middleman shopping your contract around.
Do I pay any fees or commissions?+
No. There are no agent commissions and no listing fees, and we cover most closing costs. The cash offer we make is what you walk away with — no surprise deductions.
Do I have to clean out or repair the house first?+
Not at all. We buy as-is and clean out the property for you — take what you want and leave the rest. No repairs, no junk removal, no cleaning required.
Is the $500 moving bonus real?+
Yes. When you close with us, we include a $500 credit toward a trusted local moving company to help make your move easier.
What kind of houses do you buy?+
Single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and small multifamily across Chicagoland, southern Wisconsin, and northwest Indiana — in any condition, including homes that need major repairs.
How fast can you close?+
As fast as 7 days when you need it, or on a timeline that works for you. You pick the closing date.
