How the process works
Timeframe: Once we receive your property information, we quickly review your Chicago house and create a personalized cash offer for your situation. If you like the number, we can wrap up the sale in as few as seven days. Need more time to move or plan? We’ll match your schedule. Our process is flexible and built around what works best for you.
Step 1: Call RCV Realty or Submit Your Info
Reach out and tell us about your Chicago property, your current situation (behind on payments, inherited, rental, etc.), and what you’d like to see happen.
Step 2: Get Your Fair Cash Offer
We review the details, look at local Chicago values, and present a prompt, competitive cash offer—often during our first call or shortly after.
Step 3: You Choose the Closing Date
Look over your options and decide if our offer helps you sell fast and move on. If you accept, you pick the day to close—in a week or a few months—and we handle the rest.

Timeframe: After you tell us a bit about your Chicago home and situation, we get to work right away putting together a clear, customized cash offer.
If you decide to move forward, we can close in as little as 7 days. If you need more time to line up your next place or finish plans, we’ll gladly work on your schedule.

Selling your Chicago home can be a quick & easy process
RCV Realty buys houses in and around Chicago (and nearby areas, too!) We’re not listing your house like an agent — we’re actually the ones buying your home directly.
Because we pay cash and are buying your Chicago home straight from you, we’re able to close quickly (or on the exact day that works best for you).
Work with Us
No fees – No commissions
Unlike listing a house with a traditional agent, we charge no fees and no commissions—what we offer is what you keep at closing.
You never have to worry about surprise costs coming out of your pocket just to sell your house fast in Chicago.
You don’t have to stress about getting your house “market-ready” with repairs, showings, or open houses.
We want to buy your house as-is—no cleaning, no fixing, no updates needed.
No matter how ugly or pretty it is and no matter the location, we buy houses in Chicago in any condition so you can move forward.
From Offer to Close in as Little as 7 Days
You can get rid of the headache of your property fast and stop paying one more utility bill, tax bill, insurance payment, mortgage payment, or any of the other costs that pile up month after month.
If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to factor in every dollar it costs to hold that property while you’re waiting—repairs, taxes, payments, and stress the whole time.
We make it easy
Don’t worry about fixing anything or deep cleaning your house over and over for buyer after buyer or endless showings.
We don’t care how dirty your Chicago house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed —we’ll handle it.
Is it a complete fixer? Great! We love projects and are happy to take that work off your plate.
Let us save you time, reduce your stress, and put more money in your pocket at closing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “as-is” mean?
We buy your Chicago home as-is, meaning you don’t have to do repairs, clean it out, or get it ready for showings. We’ll handle inspections, repairs, and updates after we purchase your home. We factor that work into our offer, but it saves you the cash, time, and headache of fixing a property you’re ready to sell.
What does an “all-cash offer” mean?
“All-cash” means exactly that—all cash for your Chicago home. Because we are real estate investors buying directly from you, we don’t rely on banks or traditional financing. That means no risk of a loan falling through or last-minute delays. When we make you an offer, that’s the amount you can plan on receiving at closing.
How fast is a fast closing?
After you send us information about your Chicago home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair all-cash offer in as little as 24 hours. Once you accept, we close through a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days. Compared to the 30+ days it often takes to close with a traditional listing, the difference in speed and stress is huge.
What if I don’t need a fast closing?
At RCV Realty, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need to close quickly because you’re still making plans, we’ll set the closing date for when it makes the most sense for you and your family.
Will I get a lowball offer?
Our goal is to give you the fairest offer we can. Unlike some buyers, we’re upfront about how we come up with our number. We look at what your Chicago property should be worth after repairs and upgrades, then back out the cost of that work and a reasonable profit. We’re happy to walk you through this step-by-step so you can see how it all adds up.
Is this even legit?
Yes, it is. More and more Chicago homeowners are choosing to sell directly to a cash home buyer when they need a faster, easier, and more private option. That’s where we come in. We offer a clear alternative for people who don’t have the time, money, or energy to list on the market. We’ll listen to your situation, make a transparent all-cash offer, and close on the timeline that works best for you.
