## Local closing notes

InTym Properties closes through a licensed Illinois title company and handles the title work. Illinois charges a real estate transfer tax of $0.50 per $500 of value, Cook County adds $0.25 per $500, and the City of Chicago adds its own transfer tax on top: $3.75 per $500 on the buyer side and $1.50 per $500 on the seller side.

## Frequently asked questions

### How fast can you actually close on a Chicago house?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. The title company sets the legal minimum; you set the rest.

### My two-flat or bungalow needs serious work. Will you still buy it?

Yes, exactly as it sits. Greystones, brick two-flats, and bungalow-belt rehabs are routine here. Each repair appears as a line item.

### The property is in probate. Can I get an offer before it clears?

Yes. InTym Properties can make a written offer now and close when the Circuit Court of Cook County's probate division clears title. Once the court issues letters of office, the representative can sign; your attorney sets the real timeline.

### I'm in foreclosure in Cook County. Is it too late to sell?

Illinois foreclosure is judicial: the lender files in the circuit court and a judge signs the order for a sheriff's sale, which in Cook County can take a year or more. You can sell any time before the sale; the proceeds pay off the lender and stop the case.

### What do I pay at closing? What are the transfer taxes in Chicago?

Every cost is itemized before you sign. Illinois charges $0.50 per $500 of value, Cook County adds $0.25 per $500, and Chicago adds its own city transfer tax with a buyer side and a seller side. Your offer shows what InTym Properties covers.

### What if I change my mind?

Every agreement includes a cancellation window in plain words before you sign. InTym Properties would rather lose a deal than trap a seller.

### How do I know this is real?

Ask for proof of funds, search InTym Properties on the Illinois Secretary of State business registry, and take the offer to any attorney. We are the buyer.
