Our first and second contracts to sell were with homebuyers that were less than honorable and never closed.
I then reached out to Windy City Homebuyer who made the same offer with a quick close. Their process was simple and painless. Having experienced other homebuyers, I can wholeheartedly recommend Windy City Homebuyers.

Problems occurred due to the prior owner/deeds for the property. It took a very long time to go through court to get the judge to issue an order to sell property.

I was very apprehensive about selling this property in this fashion through an investment company. Tomas convinced me...

My experience selling a property to a company that facilitates quick property purchases was highly positive. Tomas's professionalism was evident from the outset; he maintained excellent communication via phone and email, accommodating my out-of-state location. The sale was expedited, closing just a few days after the tenants vacated. I especially appreciated Tomas's patience and his willingness to go above and beyond.

Mr. Tomas Satas has a unique way of preparing his investment properties. He makes definite improvements before he puts his properties on the market. One very important is the presentation of the home. We have been servicing his investments properties for a numerous amount of years and I can truly say he takes pride in what he does. As both of us knows as well as any business person it's the customer always that comes 1st. We are always at our best for his request for his pressure washing needs because it's the best for his customers.
