Who's writing this guide?

I’m Brad Esposito with Family Property Buyers in St. Charles. If you’re thinking about selling a Romeoville house, you probably want the Village steps laid out first. 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. If listing would serve you better, I’ll tell you.

Who pays the Romeoville transfer tax?

The buyer. The Village’s transfer tax guidelines say the real estate transfer tax is the responsibility of the buyer. The rate is $3.50 per $1,000 of the full sale price for a non-exempt sale, and exempt transfers pay a $40 processing fee. Payment is online by card or e-check, or in person at Village Hall, 1050 W. Romeo Road (Finance, 815-886-7212).

What is a Romeoville clearance letter?

It’s how the Village confirms nothing is owed on the property. To get a transfer stamp, the property must be clear of all debts to the Village, including the most current water bill. Requesting the clearance letter online starts the process and orders a final water reading, and the final water bill is mailed to the forwarding address you give after closing. The Village says clearance letters are valid for 5 business days (transfer tax guidelines), so time the request with your closing.

What Village debts can hold up a Romeoville sale?

More than the water bill. The Village code (Sec. 44.180) says no transfer stamps are issued until all debts to the Village on the parcel are paid, and it lists examples: water and sewer charges, permit and inspection fees, board-up fees, weed cutting fees, demolition fees and Village judgments. You can ask the Village in writing for a statement of what’s owed. If you sell to us, tell me about any open Village bills and we’ll work them into the numbers.

Which township assessor covers my Romeoville house?

It depends on the parcel. Romeoville sits in more than one Will County township; the DuPage Township assessor’s history page says the township covers the north half of Romeoville, and the Village’s property tax page also lists the Lockport and Plainfield township assessors. The first two digits of your 16-digit parcel number show the township (02 is DuPage Township, 04 is Lockport, 03 is Plainfield), per the Will County Supervisor of Assessments PIN search page. The Will County Treasurer collects the taxes.

What if I’m behind on property taxes?

Will County handles that, not the Village. The Treasurer’s annual tax sale page explains the sale, and our Will County tax sale guide walks through this year’s dates. Talk to an Illinois attorney about your situation if a tax buyer has already contacted you.

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.
