How does BiggerEquity advise homeowners in DeKalb to evaluate their urgency to sell and the various factors influencing their decision, such as relocation, financial situations, or other personal reasons?

  • How much time do you have? Do you need to sell your home urgently?

We have been in the business of buying, renovating, and selling property for more than 6 years. Today, we specialize in making full-service real estate investments and redeveloping homes in urban and suburban communities. Our expertise is 1-4 unit property, and we work to increase the overall quality and value of real estate by redeveloping property that needs extensive repair work. Our continuous growth has encouraged us to increase the number of projects we handle in the primary areas we work, and we do not plan to stop there; rather, we are constantly working to extend our outreach to real estate markets in surrounding counties.

Most homeowners contact real estate agents if their home is in rough shape when they need to sell it without the stress and expenses of rehabilitation. However, making an accurate evaluation of such a property will be difficult for the realtor if your house needs extensive repairs. Even the most experienced persons in the real estate business sometimes find it hard to recognize property with great potential when they see it.

Are you trying to sell your house? We have put together answers to some of the questions intending sellers frequently ask us.

Who Usually Sells Houses to Companies that say, "We Buy Ugly Houses?"
One thing that is common to the different categories of people who sell houses to us is the need to sell their house fast to a reputable buyer who is serious about making a cash offer and closing the transaction at the appointed time.

What Qualifies as an "Ugly" House?
Our assertion that "We Buy Ugly Houses" is meant to inform sellers that we are ready to buy their house even if it is in bad shape or in a condition that regular buyers

may find less than desirable.

What Determines the Cash Offer you will Make for my Home? The cash offer we make for your home is the difference between the post-renovation value of your house and the costs associated with renovating it.

The circumstances surrounding why you want to sell your house are not strong enough to stop us from buying it fast for cash.

We know that selling a home can be stressful and is a very time-consuming task that many homeowners do not look forward to because of their tight schedules. Most times, these homeowners are not able to go through the necessary processes to get a house ready for sale.

We offer specialized service that generates win-win solutions to most real estate-related problems that other dealers are too skeptical to touch. We can buy and pay in cash or adopt other options which include lease purchase or handling the mortgage.

We take care of all the required paperwork, make all the necessary arrangements, and close our property deal with you in 7 days or less, depending on what you want.

Sell my house in DeKalb, Illinois!

If you don't have the patience to wait for 12 months before your property is sold, you can contact BiggerEquity now.

Please enter your name and email in the form below, and we will contact you soon with a no-obligation offer.

Here is the fastest way to sell your property in DeKalb, Illinois.

BiggerEquity is a member of a nationwide investor group that assists tens of thousands of homeowners annually. We do not follow traditional techniques of selling your home but our method is faster, and those using the "traditional" route do not want you to know about it.

Do you value how fast your home is sold above whether you sell your house for the full price? If your answer is yes, shoot us a call right away! Trying to sell your house through traditional methods may not be the best option for you when time is of the essence. This is because when you choose to sell your DeKalb home through a realtor, uncertainty sets in about how long it will take to sell your home and if you sell it eventually, the timing of the sale might be a terrible miss or a lucky hit. Although realtors can analyze local market conditions to determine the time frame for selling your home, they would usually tell you what they think you want to hear at first, only to ask you to reduce the price several weeks or months later. It can take months to sell homes in DeKalb, and Illinois agents aren't helping matters.

Most times, selling a house can be a burdensome experience, especially if you list the house on the market in the fall or if it is not in good shape, or ugly. Also finding a reliable real estate agent to work with in selling your house could take more time than you have to spare, but you mustn't feel defeated. The process is a lot easier when you work with us because we handle all the legal issues at each stage of the transaction. In a word, what we offer is an out-of-the-box service, which is completely stress-free. Simply call us today or fill out our contact form to get started.

After the death of my mother I had to sell her house. I live outside Florida, this added tremendous stress. He educated me on the process, answered all my questions. I never felt pressured. I have no words to thank Eden for his professionalism, integrity and genuineness.

Situations we handle

People sell for all kinds of reasons.

Most homeowners we work with aren't in textbook situations. They're juggling something real — and need a buyer who shows up on time, in any condition, with cash.

  • Debt

    Selling your house swiftly may become a necessity if you find yourself in a situation where you owe money to a lender or an individual/company, making it challenging to keep up with your mortgage payments.

  • Unemployment

    Job loss can significantly impede, if not render impossible, your ability to stay current on your mortgage payments.

  • Getting divorced

    Divorce proceedings without a preexisting agreement on property division can lead couples to a situation where they must expedite the sale of their house — driven by the need to fairly distribute assets as they go their separate ways.

  • Neighborhood concerns

    In a neighborhood with minimal security and a high crime rate, opting to sell your house swiftly and transition to a safer environment can be a well-considered choice.

  • Relocating

    Relocating due to military deployment, a job transfer, or a fresh opportunity in a new city often serves as strong motivation to expedite the sale of your house.

This list doesn't cover every reason a homeowner needs to sell quickly. Whatever you're facing — inheritance, foreclosure, code violations, a tired rental — you're not the first. Reach out and we'll help you find a clean way out.

What we buy · how we close fast

Why we can move in days, not months.

We've already done what the average buyer hasn't: vetted the title process, lined up cash, built relationships with closers in every state. Most of the time it's spent waiting for you, not us.

  • We buy every property type

    Condos, single-family homes, vacant homes, vacation properties, multi-family — any condition. We've handled houses with fire damage, foundation issues, code violations, and full hoarder situations. The condition doesn't stop the deal.

  • Cash from our own balance sheet

    We're not your regular house buyers. We provide solutions to problems that most house buyers, real estate agents, and brokers can't or won't touch. The funds come from our own capital — no financing contingencies, no appraisal gaps, no waiting on loan approval.

  • Tailored real estate solutions

    Our team is made up of real estate investors deeply ingrained in markets across the United States and Canada. We specialize in tailored solutions, no matter how complex your situation. Are you ready to sell quickly? Reach out and we'll put together the path that fits.

We understand the challenges of selling your house when you're facing financial constraints that demand a swift sale. We can purchase your house now to prevent the accumulation of ongoing costs — taxes, insurance, HOA, mortgage interest, deferred maintenance, all the line items that compound while a listing sits.

Frequently asked in DeKalb

+
We close in as little as 7 days. DeKalb county closings typically use a designated title agent or attorney; we coordinate either at no cost to you.

We pay 65–75% of after-repair value minus our renovation budget. For a $270,000 median DeKalb home in good shape, expect a cash offer in the $176,000$203,000 range. The exact number depends on your home's condition, timeline, and repair scope.
