The local buyer for Lombard homes
More than half of Lombard’s housing was built between 1950 and 1979, spread remarkably evenly across those three decades — plus a real pre-war core near the original village center, which incorporated back in 1869 on the rail line. The typical Lombard house is a post-war ranch, Cape Cod, split-level, or tri-level on a modest-to-medium lot.
Homes from that stretch share a predictable set of problems: original electrical, galvanized plumbing, and mechanicals on their second or third cycle. We buy Lombard homes exactly as they are, for cash, with no repairs and no showings.
Why Lombard 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.
- Homes built in the 1960s and early ’70s often carry aluminum branch wiring, which insurers and lenders scrutinize
- 1950s homes with galvanized supply, cast-iron drains, and original 60-amp panels
- Pre-1940 homes near the village center with knob-and-tube and foundation water
- 1970s split-levels and tri-levels with aging cedar siding and failed window seals
- Original kitchens and baths that would need a full renovation before listing
Aluminum wiring in Lombard’s 1960s housing
Lombard built heavily through the 1960s and early 1970s — the window when aluminum branch wiring was widely installed. The Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that homes wired with aluminum before 1972 are far more likely to develop hazardous conditions at connections, and that alone can stop a financed sale or an insurance binder. Have an electrician confirm what’s actually in your home; we buy it either way.

Selling a house in Lombard — FAQs
How fast can you close on a Lombard home?
Often 7–14 days. There’s no lender, appraisal, or financing contingency on our side — or you can pick a later date that fits your move.
Do you buy post-war ranches and split-levels?
Yes — they’re the core of Lombard’s housing and the core of what we buy here, in any condition, with original kitchens and mechanicals expected.
What about older homes near the original village center in Lombard?
We buy those too. Pre-1940 homes come with knob-and-tube remnants, old foundations, and basement water, and none of that is an obstacle for a cash buyer.
My Lombard house has aluminum wiring. Can I still sell?
Yes. Aluminum branch wiring is common in homes built roughly 1965–1973 and it frequently derails financed sales and insurance. Because we pay cash, it doesn’t stop our purchase.
How we arrive at an offer on your Lombard 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 Lombard 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 Lombard 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.
