Sell your land in Illinois
Selling Illinois land is different from selling a house: there are no showings, but zoning, access, utilities and survey questions decide what a buyer will pay. Prominent Cash Offer buys Illinois land as it is, from vacant lots to acreage, with a written cash offer and no listing.
Before you sell Illinois land, find the parcel number and any survey, and check zoning, road access and utilities with the county. For taxes on the sale of land, see IRS Topic 409, Capital gains and losses.
Start with the address. If your Illinois land is a fit, you get a written cash offer with the amount and the terms spelled out, and no obligation to accept it. There are no fees or commissions, we pay the closing costs, and you choose the closing date.
Prominent Cash Offer buys Illinois land directly, with no listing. Read the full guide to selling land, see how we buy houses in Illinois. We buy land nationwide too. For state services, start at Illinois.gov.

Selling your Illinois land to Prominent Cash Offer vs. listing it with a real estate agent
| What changes | Prominent Cash Offer | Listing with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions | None | Agent commissions, usually a percentage of the sale price |
| Fees and closing costs | None. We pay the closing costs | Your share of closing costs, plus any fees in the listing agreement |
| Repairs | None. We buy as-is | Often expected before listing, or after the buyer's inspection |
| Cleaning and clearing out | Leave what you don't want | Cleaned, cleared, and staged for showings |
| Showings | None | Showings and open houses on buyers' schedules |
| Financing | Cash, with no loan to fall through | Most buyers need a mortgage, and approvals can fall through |

| Time to sell | Fast, on your schedule | Time on the market, then the buyer's closing process |
A listing can bring a higher price, especially for a house in top condition. Selling to Prominent trades some of that for speed, certainty, and no repairs, fees, or commissions. Compare what actually reaches you. Compare in detail
