It Takes Less than One Hour for us to Buy your Home.

There are many factors to consider before choosing an option to sell your home. For instance, you may need to consider the option of selling by yourself or working with an agent and how much time it will take to sell your home. Selling your home fast requires that you abandon the two options mentioned above. The best option for you in this case is to sell your home to a real estate investment company like BiggerEquity.

The majority of homeowners who wish to sell their homes</strong > use traditional methods of selling through realtors. However, this isn't always the best option for all homeowners, especially those looking to sell their house to avoid foreclosure, moving out of town after a divorce, or facing bankruptcy. When getting your home ready for the market, a realtor will point out the face-lifts, repairs, and renovations you need to make to increase the appeal of your home. Effecting these changes could incur expenses that can quickly run into thousands, and you may not be willing to spend any money on the house you are looking to sell. Additionally, you will have to keep an open house for some time to facilitate showings to potential buyers, and this can be very stressful to keep up. Another important detail to consider is how current market conditions could affect how quickly you sell your home. Realtors do not control market conditions, so your house may end up sitting on the market for many months before being sold. Selling your home via realtors on the local market is not the best solution if you need to sell your home quickly.

While selling your home by yourself may come across as a good idea to you, you need to ask yourself if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, you may end up making your situation worse than it already is because selling your home on the real estate market is not as simple as it seems. For one thing, you may end up dealing with one disappointment after another because of potential buyers who back out of the deal at the last minute after making you spend thousands on repairs and upgrades to your home. Selling your house by yourself has similar downsides to selling your home through a realtor. The difference is that when selling by yourself, you end up spending all the money and doing all the work. Moreover, you may have to wait for an excessively long period before selling your home on the market, and this may not suit your schedule if you have no time to spare. What you need is a faster alternative.

This way, you do not have to go through the stress of the process of selling your home or paying huge sums of money as commission for agents. We can make you a cash offer in as little as 24 hours of having a look at your house.

We cover all Closing Costs
Closing costs can sometimes take up to 10% of the money you receive for your house after the sale. This cost sometimes runs into thousands. However, by selling to BiggerEquity, we take care of all the paperwork and closing costs thereby saving you from the worry of spending extra money or time.

Sell your House to the US to Regain Control of your Situation Today.

How does BiggerEquity assist homeowners facing financial challenges in Kankakee, Illinois, and beyond?

Over the years BiggerEquity has paid countless homeowners substantial amounts of money because they decided to regain control of their situation.

How would you feel knowing that you do not have to worry about being on the brink of foreclosure? Take a second to imagine the peace of mind you will feel when you have a substantial amount of money as well as a better credit score. With this, you can even start on a clean slate and buy a new house soon.

After 45 to 80 days of informing homeowners that they are in default, banks often move to auction the property. This means that you do not have much time if you have already received the notice. The practical thing to do is to find a fast buyer to work with. At BiggerEquity, we don't rely on bank loans to buy houses fast for CASH. We have our own money so the process is always fast.

Why Work with us?

We are experts at getting great deals on property but it is hard for us to keep all the property we buy at great discount rates to ourselves. By working with us, you can benefit from this because we typically get deals that offer up to 50% discount on the current market value of the property.

Are you a real estate investor searching for a distressed property that you would like to renovate and re-sell? Simply inform us of your preferences and criteria to have us find you the best deals based on your buying criteria. The best part of this process is that you do not have to pay us for the custom search we carry out for you. We only charge a small fee when you successfully close a deal on any of the properties we help you find.

A large percentage of the properties we sell are purchased by real estate investors but we will also be happy to sell to you if you need to buy a personal home you want to move into. Have you found a house you like in our inventory? Simply join our Preferred Buyers list and make an offer on the house today to ensure you do not miss this opportunity. To ensure you don't lose the house to another buyer, we advise that you ensure you are pre-qualified by your bank. Need help to pre-qualify? We can help you with that too.

Tired landlord with bad tenants. They closed with the tenants still in place and handled the relocation themselves. I never thought I'd be done with that property — they made it happen.

Most sellers have a reason

Why a fast sale makes sense.

You might be contemplating, “I need to achieve a swift sale for my house,” and there could be a multitude of reasons driving this urgency. It's possible the need to sell quickly arises because you're teetering on the brink of losing your home — possibly due to job loss or the struggle to stay current with mortgage payments. Another scenario may involve owing more on your property than its current market value, possibly as a result of purchasing it during the market's peak. On the other hand, you might have recently inherited a property in need of substantial repairs to compete effectively in the market, rendering the traditional sale process challenging.

This list doesn't encompass all the reasons why a homeowner might need to sell quickly. It highlights some common circumstances that drive people to seek fast home sales. You're not alone in facing these situations — regardless of your specific circumstances, many homeowners encounter similar challenges each year, and unfortunately some end up losing their homes to government entities, debtors, homeowners associations, or banks.

We've assisted numerous individuals in such situations because we understand the daunting and uncertain nature of these circumstances. Get in touch with us and we'll help you navigate the situation and provide a prompt solution to your real estate challenge.
