The local buyer for Cicero homes
Cicero holds one of the densest concentrations of Chicago-style brick bungalows anywhere outside the city itself. Walk through Hawthorne, Grant Works, Clyde, Morton Park, or Parkholme and you’ll see the same story block after block: face-brick bungalows with hipped roofs and art-glass windows, sturdy brick two- and three-flats, and older frame workers’ cottages near the rail corridors — most of them built between 1900 and 1930.
That means beautiful, solid homes that are now approaching a hundred years old. Tuckpointing, roofs over those complex hipped forms, original kitchens, and long-converted heating systems all come due at once. We buy Cicero homes exactly as-is — no repairs, no cleaning, no showings — and close on the schedule that works for you.
Why Cicero homeowners sell as-is
Every situation is different. Whatever you’re facing, we can help you sell without repairs, fees, or the wait of a traditional listing.
- Century-old brick that needs tuckpointing, lintel work, or a full re-roof
- Original 1920s kitchens, single baths, and long-outdated electrical service
- Inherited bungalows and two-flats still full of a lifetime of belongings
- Tenant-occupied two- and three-flats you’re tired of managing
- Cook County tax bills or a property already sold at the annual tax sale
Why Cicero owners often sell as-is
Cicero is essentially built out on narrow lots, so there’s very little teardown-and-rebuild activity — turnover here is renovation-driven. On a 100-year-old bungalow that can mean masonry, roofing, plumbing, and electrical all at once, which is why many owners choose a straightforward as-is sale instead. We buy in every Cicero neighborhood, whatever shape the property is in.

Selling a house in Cicero — FAQs
Can you buy my Cicero two-flat with tenants still in it?
Absolutely. We regularly buy occupied two- and three-flats and take the building with the tenants and leases in place. No eviction, no waiting for a lease to end.
My Cicero house needs tuckpointing and a new roof. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Masonry and roof work are expected on century-old Cicero brick — we factor it into our offer rather than asking you to fix it. You never spend a dollar on repairs.
Do you buy Cicero brick bungalows and two-flats?
Yes — those are the homes we buy most in Cicero. Brick bungalows, two- and three-flats, and older frame cottages, in any condition and in any of the town’s neighborhoods.
What if I owe back property taxes on my Cicero home?
That’s common and usually not a problem. Delinquent Cook County taxes are typically paid off at closing from the sale proceeds, along with any mortgage payoff — you don’t pay out of pocket.
Does Cicero require an inspection to sell a house?
Yes. Cicero issues a Certificate of Compliance through its Building Department, and you’re asked to schedule it at least 30 days before closing. Any violations it finds have to be corrected before the sale can complete — unless the buyer takes them on instead. That’s exactly what we do: we buy Cicero houses as-is, and the violations become our problem rather than your repair list.
How we arrive at an offer on your Cicero home
You should be skeptical of anyone offering to buy a house they have not seen. Most owners get the postcards — no company name on them, a mobile number, a promise of top dollar. So here is how ours works: we use the same formula on every house, and when we present the offer we show you the math behind the number and the recent Cicero sales we compared yours to. Nothing is invented on the spot, and nothing is held back.
A buyer who will not show you where their number came from is telling you something. You are welcome to check ours against what you already know about your own street — and you are never under any obligation to accept it.
And the honest part: if your Cicero home has been kept up and you can wait out 60 to 90 days of showings, an inspection and a buyer's appraisal, listing it with a good local agent will usually net you more than we will — even after commission. We would rather tell you that than take an hour of your time. A cash sale earns its place when the house needs work you do not want to fund, when something about it puts lenders off, or when a closing date that will not move is worth more to you than the last few percent.
