Who's writing this guide?

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

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 out Yorkville city services?

The United City of Yorkville uses one Meter Read Request form to stop water, sewer, garbage and sanitary district service at once. Its FAQ asks for at least five days’ notice for a final bill.

If you’re selling, give the email or fax of your closing attorney, and the final bill goes to them. The water isn’t shut off.

Do you live in Grande Reserve?

The city says Grande Reserve residents get a separate sanitary district bill from Fox Metro, on top of the city bill. You don’t have to call Fox Metro yourself. The same meter read request handles it.

Does Yorkville charge a transfer tax?

No. ATG’s Yorkville table lists no city transfer tax. It does list a final water reading, with the bill paid, as a sale step. City Hall is at 800 Game Farm Rd.

Which Kendall County offices are in Yorkville?

Taxes: the Kendall County Collector, 504 S. Main St. (630-553-4124).
Assessments: the county assessment office, also at 504 S. Main St. (630-553-4146). The first two digits of your parcel number show your township. The county lists 02 as Bristol and 05 as Kendall.
Courts: all Kendall County courts sit at the courthouse, 807 W. John St.

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?

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.
