Sell To Dynasty is the Chicago Southland home of Dynasty Real Estate, a family-owned company that buys houses directly from homeowners. Our office sits just across the state line in Griffith, Indiana, a short drive from Lansing, Calumet City and Sauk Village, and our team works in south suburban Cook County and Will County every week.

Why we focus on the Southland

The south suburbs are full of solid brick bungalows, ranches and split-levels built in the 1950s through the 1970s, many owned by the same family for decades. Those homes often reach a point where the next owner faces a long list of updates: a roof, a furnace, galvanized plumbing, a wet basement. For a lot of families, putting that work in before listing just doesn’t make sense.

Selling in Illinois also comes with its own steps. Attorneys usually handle both sides of a closing. Many villages require a transfer stamp, a final water reading and sometimes a point-of-sale inspection before a deed can be recorded. Cook County bills property taxes a year behind, so the tax proration at closing surprises a lot of sellers. We deal with these details every week, so you don’t have to figure them out alone.

What we do

We make a written cash offer on your house as it sits, with no repairs, no showings and no agent commissions. You choose the closing date, and the closing runs through a licensed title company, with your attorney reviewing everything. We work with sellers handling an inherited house, a probate estate, a foreclosure, a divorce, a tenant-occupied rental or a home with fire damage.

If selling to us isn’t your best option, we’ll tell you. Sometimes listing with an agent will put more money in your pocket, and we’d rather you make the right decision than a fast one.
