Who's writing this guide?

I'm Brad Esposito with Family Property Buyers in St. Charles. I buy Plainfield houses directly from owners, in any condition.

That includes newer subdivision homes. I look at the house once, then you get a written offer you can take your time with. And if your house would likely do better listed with an agent, I'll tell you.

How do you close your Plainfield water account?

The village has run its water system since 1895, and it has used Lake Michigan water since 2004. Garbage service is billed with the water bill.

To close the account, contact Utility Billing at (815) 439-4250 or [email protected] as soon as you have a closing date. Give the date and a forwarding address.

Is your Plainfield address really in Plainfield?

Not always. ATG’s Plainfield table says there is no transfer tax for property inside the Village of Plainfield. It also warns that some Plainfield mailing addresses are in an adjoining town, which may have its own rules.

Your tax bill shows which village your parcel is in. I check it before we talk numbers.

Where do you pay Will County property taxes?

At the Will County Treasurer, 302 N. Chicago St., Joliet (815-740-4675). The Supervisor of Assessments is in the same building (815-740-4648).

Where are Will County court cases heard?

At the Will County Courthouse, 100 W. Jefferson St., Joliet. It’s the home of the 12th Judicial Circuit.

If a probate, divorce or other court case touches the house, talk to your attorney before you sign anything.

What if the house needs work?

You don't have to fix it.

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. Your written offer shows your number before you sign.

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. Show it to your attorney or family before you decide.
If you say yes, we close on your timeline.
