Unpaid property taxes can snowball into a tax sale — and, if they aren't redeemed in time, the loss of your property. We buy tax-burdened homes as-is for cash and handle the back taxes and liens at closing, so you can walk away clean instead of losing it for pennies.
Fair Value Investments is a private real-estate investor buying for our own account. We are not a broker, lender, attorney, or government agency, and we charge no fee to make an offer.
Three steps, no games. You're in control the whole way.
Share the address and a few details about your situation. It takes about two minutes and costs nothing.
We review the property and make a fair, no-obligation cash offer — usually within 24–48 hours. No lowball games.
Pick the closing date that works for you. We handle the paperwork, and you get paid. No repairs, no fees.
Most "cash buyers" won't tell you how they priced your home. We will.
We begin with what your home is genuinely worth — recent comparable sales nearby, not a number pulled from the air.
Repairs, closing, and the cost of carrying and reselling it — we walk you through each line, not a mystery discount.
We'll tell you what you'd likely net if you listed with an agent, so you can compare it against our cash offer.
A fair, all-cash number with no fee — or take the math and list it. Either way you leave knowing where the number came from.
In Illinois, delinquent property taxes can be sold at the annual tax sale, and there's a limited time to redeem them before you can lose the property. Selling for a fair cash price before that deadline lets you clear the taxes and liens and keep the equity that's left. We are private buyers — not the county or the Treasurer — and we'll always suggest you confirm redemption details with a tax professional or attorney.
Our name isn't a slogan — it's the standard we hold every offer to.
Our name is our promise. We make offers we can stand behind — not a throwaway number to talk you down from.
We know Cook and the collar counties and close on real Chicagoland timelines, working with local title companies.
Cash means no bank delays and no financing that falls through at the last minute. When we say we'll close, we close.
Plain numbers, no fee to get an offer, and no obligation. You stay in control of every decision.
Whatever the reason you need to sell, we make a fair cash offer and close on your timeline.
No repairs, no fee, no obligation. See the number, then decide.
