Ziffnet Buys Homes

Questions, answered.

We've tried to answer everything sellers actually ask us — not the sanitized version. If we missed yours, call and ask.

Questions we get all the time.

If yours isn't here, call us. We'd rather have a real conversation.

We pull recent comparable sales on your block, factor in the current condition of your house, and subtract the cost of repairs and the holding costs we'll incur. Then we add what we need to make a small profit. We're happy to walk you through the math line-by-line — most sellers appreciate seeing it.
No. Zero commissions, zero closing fees from our side. The number we offer is the number that hits your bank account. The only standard exceptions are property taxes you owe and any liens on the title — those come out of the sale proceeds the same way they would in any sale.
Seven days is realistic when there are no title issues. Most closings land in the 14 to 30-day range because of title and lien research. If you need more time — say, you're waiting on your next house — just tell us. We'll close on the date you pick.
That's our specialty. We've bought houses with foundation problems, fire damage, roof failures, hoarder situations, and code violations. You don't clean, fix, or repair anything before we arrive. We bring our own contractors after closing.
Usually, yes. The big-name companies have huge marketing budgets they have to recover. We don't. Send us the offer and we'll let you know within a day whether we can do better. If we can't, we'll tell you that too — we're not going to waste your time.
We buy throughout Chicagoland — Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, and Kane counties — in every neighborhood. We don't cherry-pick zip codes.
No. We give you the offer, explain how we got there, and answer questions. Then we leave you alone to think about it. If you have an attorney or a family member you want to review it with, take the time you need. We don't do high-pressure sales calls.
Totally fine. Plenty of people get an offer just to know where they stand before deciding what to do next. There's no obligation, and we won't keep calling you.

Takes about a minute. We'll call you within one business day with a real number — no "low-ball, raise-it-later" tactics.
