You Have More Options Than You Think
If you’re dealing with a tough property situation — foreclosure, probate, divorce, tax problems, a house that needs too much work — it can feel like you have no good options. Most people think they either list with an agent and wait months, or just walk away and lose everything. But that’s not true. There are paths forward that most homeowners never hear about, and that’s exactly what we’re here to help with.
We’re not here to pressure you into a sale. We’re here to show you what’s possible.
3rd Shift Homes is a local home buying company, but that’s only part of what we do. We sit down with homeowners across Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana — Cook, DuPage, Will, Lake, Kane, McHenry, and Kendall counties — and walk them through every option on the table. Sometimes selling to us for cash is the best move. Sometimes it’s not. Either way, we’ll be straight with you. We’ll show you the numbers, explain the tradeoffs, and let you decide what’s right for your family.
Our founder started this company because he went through his own housing crisis and saw firsthand how the system fails working people. The agents, the banks, the timelines — none of it works when life hits you sideways. So he built something different: a company that leads with honesty, not pressure. When we do make you an offer, it’s backed by real funds. No bank approvals. No wondering if the deal will fall through. No waiting. Just a real conversation with real people who’ve been where you are.
No Repairs
You spend $0 in home repairs
because we buy your house in as-is condition.
$0 Fee/Commission
No agent commissions, no hidden fees. We cover all closing costs. The offer we make is what you walk away with.
No Waiting
Close in as little as 7 days or on your timeline. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
Transparency
We walk you through exactly how we calculate our offer. No hidden formulas, no surprises.
Easy Process

Dedicated Specialists
We treat every homeowner the way we’d want to be treated. If selling to us isn’t your best option, we’ll tell you.

We Buy Houses in Any Condition
You don’t need to fix anything. You don’t even need to clean. We buy houses exactly as they are, including properties with foundation or structural issues, fire or water damage, mold or environmental concerns, code violations, extensive deferred maintenance, tenant damage, tax liens or delinquent property taxes, title issues, hoarding situations, and outdated systems. If your house has problems that would scare off a traditional buyer, that’s exactly the kind of property we specialize in.
We Buy Houses in Any Situation
Probate and inherited property — navigating the courts while managing an estate is overwhelming enough without worrying about a house. We handle the complexity so you don’t have to.
Foreclosure and pre-foreclosure — we can move fast enough to close before the sheriff sale and protect your credit.
Divorce — a clean cash sale makes dividing assets simple. Both parties walk away with cash and closure.
Tax liens and delinquent property taxes — we handle the tax situation at closing, so the debt doesn’t follow you.
Vacant or abandoned property — that empty house is costing you money every month in taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Stop the bleeding.
Fire damage or major repairs needed — we buy damaged properties as-is. No repair estimates, no contractor headaches.
Code violations — fines adding up? We buy properties with open violations and handle the resolution.
Tired of being a landlord — bad tenants, maintenance headaches, and thin margins add up. Walk away clean.
Behind on payments — we can help you avoid the damage of a foreclosure on your record by closing quickly.
Job relocation — when life moves fast, your house sale should too. We close on your timeline.

What Sellers Ask Us
How fast can you close?
We can close in as little as 7 days. Most of our transactions close within 14-21 days, but we work on your schedule. If you need more time, that’s fine too.
Do I have to pay any fees or commissions?
No. There are zero fees and zero commissions when you sell to 3rd Shift Homes. We even cover the closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with.
What if my house needs a lot of work?
That’s exactly the kind of house we buy. We purchase properties in any condition. You don’t need to fix or clean anything.
Are you going to give me a lowball offer?
We make fair offers based on the property’s current condition and comparable sales in your area. We’re transparent about how we calculate our offers and will walk you through the numbers.
How is this different from listing with a real estate agent?
When you list with an agent, you’re waiting 60-90+ days, paying 5-6% in commissions, and often making costly repairs. With us, you sell in days for cash with no fees and no repairs. For many homeowners in difficult situations, the net proceeds end up being surprisingly close.
Do you buy houses with tenants still living in them?
Yes. We buy occupied properties and handle the tenant situation after closing. You don’t need to evict anyone first.
What areas do you cover?
We buy houses across the greater Chicagoland area (Cook, DuPage, Will, Lake, Kane, McHenry, and Kendall counties) and Northwest Indiana (Lake and Porter counties). If you’re not sure if we cover your area, just call — we probably do.
Is there really no obligation?
None at all. Getting an offer from us is completely free and carries no obligation. You’re welcome to compare our offer with other options and decide what’s best for your situation.

Since most investors purchase with all cash, you can sell your property as soon as your two parties agree on the conditions of sale. The average time it takes sellers to close with an all-cash investor is two weeks. If you’re selling to a buyer who needs a mortgage, it’ll take you 60 days’ minimum.

A key benefit of selling your house to a real estate investor is that you save on commission. You don’t need to involve yourself with a real estate agent. While commissions that real estate agents charge is negotiable, most areas of the county a 5% to 6% commission to complete the transaction in your house is typical.
...Read MoreIf you have been receiving repossession threats or foreclosure notices from your lender or bank, selling your home to an investment company can be an effective solution. A real estate investment company will buy your home in cash and as-is, giving you enough funds to move out and rent a house elsewhere. Some investment companies will even take over the mortgage payment and allow you to rent the house from them if you want to keep living in a familiar environment.
