We know DeKalb
The DeKalb housing stock we buy.
DeKalb is a university town on Route 38 west of the I-88. Older frame cottages, Victorians, and prairies in the core, 1970s-80s subdivision stock on the edges.
Sellers out in DeKalb reach out for the usual reasons — inherited, divorce, tired of the rental, needs repairs, relocating, or just plain ready to move on. We walk the house as it stands and write a number inside 48 hours.
Speed mechanics
Seven days is our floor, not our default.
A standard cash close is 14-30 days. Inside 14 is tight. We've closed inside 7 when the situation called for it — a court date, a move-out, an employer-imposed relocation window. The title work and attorney review are the hard constraints, not our willingness.
If you have 30, 60, or 90 days, we write the contract with that date in it. The number reflects the timeline — longer windows tend to carry a slightly higher number because the hold cost is lower.

Speed questions about selling your DeKalb house.
How fast can you actually close?
Seven days when you need seven. The hard constraints are title work (usually 5-10 days) and attorney review. We've closed inside 14 days when the situation called for it.
What if I need to close before a specific court date or sale date?
Name the date at the walkthrough. If it's possible, we write the offer with that close date in the contract. If it isn't, we tell you the week we can instead of dragging it out.
What makes a 7-day close possible?
No financing contingency, no appraisal contingency, no repair contingency. Cash in an escrow account. The title company handles title work in parallel with the contract. Removes three of the longest bottlenecks in a traditional sale.
Can you move faster than an iBuyer?
Yes, in our footprint. iBuyers run on algorithmic offers and financing pipelines — they're as bound by the 30-45 day title/close cycle as a retail buyer. We don't have that constraint.
Do I lose anything by moving faster?
The offer number reflects the speed — that's the trade-off. If you have 90 days, our number on a 90-day close is typically a little higher than on a 7-day close. Your timeline, your call.
What if I need 30 days or 60 days, not 7?
Fine. We close on your calendar. Rent-back available if you need overlap with a new house.
What happens on the day of closing?
You sign at the title company (or remotely if you're out of town). Funds wire the same day. Keys change hands at close. We walk you through the settlement statement line by line before you sign.
If I accept today, what's the actual calendar?
Day 0: walkthrough. Day 1: offer in writing. Day 2-3: contract signed. Day 4-10: title work in background. Day 7-14: close. Faster or slower depending on what your attorney and the title company find.
