Who's writing this guide?

I’m Brad Esposito with Family Property Buyers in St. Charles. If you’re thinking about selling a New Lenox house, here are the Village and county steps in plain terms. I buy houses directly from owners, in any condition, including 2 to 4 unit buildings. You get a written cash offer within 24 hours of our first visit or meeting, and we close on your timeline.

How does the final water reading work?

The Village’s utility billing FAQ says to call the Utility Billing Department at 815-462-6440 ahead of closing so a final meter read can be taken on the day of closing for your final bill. The bill stays in your name until that final read happens. The same FAQ says owners are responsible for utility bills, bills come monthly and are due on the 20th, and meters are read monthly with an actual read, not an estimate.

Who handles my property taxes?

Will County, not the Village. The Will County Treasurer collects property taxes and runs the annual tax sale; our Will County tax sale guide explains what happens if they go unpaid. The county’s township assessor list shows the assessor for your township, and you can look up the parcel on the Will County PIN search.

How is the deed recorded?

Through the Will County Recorder. Its search page explains how to look up recorded documents, which is a good way to check how title is held before you sell, for example after a death or a divorce.

Do you buy 2 to 4 unit buildings in New Lenox?

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.
