I’m Brad Esposito with Family Property Buyers in St. Charles.

How do I get a final water reading in Frankfort?

The Village’s water and sewer service request form has a request type called Final Water Reading. Pick it, add the address and your contact details, and send it in. You can also call Village Hall at (815) 469-2177. The office is at 432 W. Nebraska Street and is open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

What does the new owner need to start service?

Per the Village’s account setup page, the buyer brings a copy of the notary-stamped warranty deed or closing affidavit to Village Hall, or attaches it to the online form. That’s on the buyer’s side, but it helps to know the account changes hands after closing paperwork exists, not before.

What happens if the last bill runs late?

The payment center page lists a 10% penalty on overdue accounts and a $45 fee if water is shut off for non-payment. A returned payment costs $25. If the house is vacant while you sort things out, keep an eye on the bill so it doesn’t slip.

How can I pay the water bill?

Online, by phone at (844) 615-0095 any time, in person at 432 W. Nebraska Street with cash or check, or by check in the drive-through drop box outside the Village Administration Building. Drop box payments placed by the due date count as on time, according to the payment center.

What if the water needs to be shut off at a vacant house?

The same service request form lists Water Turn On/Shut Off and Vacation/Turn On or Off. For an after-hours water or sewer emergency, the Village says to call Dispatch at 815-485-2500.

Who handles my property taxes and deed?

The Village says Frankfort is in both Will and Cook counties (Village FOIA page). Your tax bill shows which county your home is in. For homes on the Will County side, the Will County Treasurer collects property taxes, the Supervisor of Assessments’ township assessor page and PIN search help you look up your assessment, and the Will County Recorder keeps deeds.

Do you buy 2 to 4 unit buildings in Frankfort?

Yes. We buy 2 to 4 unit buildings as well as single-family houses, as-is. If the building has tenants, tell me about the leases when we talk, and talk to an Illinois attorney about what the leases require before you sign anything.

Should I sell to you or list with an agent?

Here’s an honest comparison:

Listing usually wins when the house is in good shape, you have time, and you want the highest possible price.
Selling to us may fit when the house needs work you don’t want to do, you’re behind on payments, or you need a set closing date.
Costs. Selling directly to us means you don’t list with an agent, and we can often cover closing costs. We explain every cost up front, before you sign anything.

If listing is the better choice for your house, I’ll tell you.

What if selling is the cleaner path?

You don’t have to fix anything first.

We buy as-is: no showings, no repairs needed. Selling directly to us means you don’t list with an agent.

We can often cover closing costs. We explain every cost up front, before you sign anything.

How do you check out any cash buyer before you sign?

Get the offer in writing. It should show the price and who pays which costs.
Read the whole contract. Ask about any line you don’t understand before you sign.
Have your own attorney. An Illinois real estate attorney can review the contract for you.
Check that the business is registered. You can look it up on the Illinois Secretary of State business search.
Don’t pay upfront fees. You shouldn’t have to pay anyone just to sell your house.
Ask about your right to cancel. Illinois law gives owners behind on a mortgage or taxes extra protections in some sales. An attorney can tell you what applies to you.

This is general information, not legal advice. Talk to an Illinois attorney about your situation.

What happens if you reach out to us?

Tell me about the house. Use the form, call or text (331) 422-3828, or email [email protected].
We look at the house together, in person or by phone.
You get a written cash offer within 24 hours of our first visit or meeting. There’s no obligation. Show it to your attorney or family before you decide.
