How We Helped Beth Sell Her Wenona, Illinois House With Back Taxes and Still Walk Away With Money
A house in rough condition, tax liens she couldn’t get paid off, and a referral from a happy client. Here’s how our Retail Buyer Program got Beth to a closing table with proceeds left over.
Selling a House With Back Taxes Owed in Illinois
Back tax liens scare off most traditional buyers and can make a house feel impossible to sell for what’s actually owed, let alone anything on top of it. Beth’s story shows what’s possible when you sell a house with back taxes in Illinois the right way.
How Beth Found Us: A Referral She Could Trust
We recently helped Ron S sell his house in Streator, Illinois, a simple, smooth transaction he was happy with. Ron liked working with us so much that when he heard a friend at work talking about his mom’s house, he passed along our number. That friend’s mom was Beth.
Beth was living with her son at the time, and the property she owned was in very rough condition. She’d been trying to sell it herself through Facebook and word of mouth, with no luck, and it had back tax liens on it that she couldn’t find a buyer willing to pay enough to cover.
After a quick conversation, we sent Beth an offer through our Retail Buyer Program instead of a typical low cash offer, and got to work. We used our trusted local agent, Blayton Ruberstell, to get the property out to qualified buyers, and within a few days we had a cash offer that would take it in as-is condition, for a price that covered the back taxes and still put money in Beth’s pocket. It closed a few weeks later, and Beth never had to go back to the property.
“This happened because of the trust we built with Ron and our track record of closings. Beth had the confidence to trust us with her property, and we had the confidence to perform and get her to a closing table.”
— Alex Jenkins, Founder, Clear Path House BuyerWhy the Retail Buyer Program Gets Sellers More Than a Typical Cash Offer
Beth’s back taxes made a standard low cash offer risky, there wasn’t enough room to cover what she owed and still net anything. Here’s how our program is different:
Retail Buyer Program
Instead of one low cash offer, we get your property in front of qualified buyers willing to pay closer to retail prices.
Back Taxes & Liens Handled
We structure the sale so liens and back taxes get paid off directly at closing, out of the proceeds.
Rough Condition, No Repairs
Beth’s house needed work. She didn’t have to do any of it, we sold it exactly as it sat.
Trusted Local Agent Network
We work with vetted local agents like Blayton Ruberstell to get your property real buyer attention fast.
Built on Referrals
Ron trusted us enough to send Beth our way. That track record is how most of our best deals come together.
Nationwide Reach
Beth’s house was in Wenona, IL. We work with sellers across Illinois and nationwide.
