Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my duplex with tenants still living in it?
Yes. We buy duplexes in DeKalb with tenants in place. You do not need to wait for leases to expire or go through the eviction process. Existing lease agreements transfer to us at closing.
What if one unit is vacant and one is occupied?
That is perfectly fine. We purchase duplexes in any occupancy configuration — fully occupied, partially vacant, or completely empty. The occupancy status does not prevent a cash sale.
Do I need to provide rental income documentation to get an offer?
While rental income history helps us evaluate the property, it is not required to receive a cash offer. We base our offer on the property's value, condition, and location in DeKalb.
Will you buy my duplex if it has code violations or needed repairs?
Yes. We buy duplexes as-is in DeKalb, including those with code violations, deferred maintenance, foundation issues, or outdated systems. No repairs needed before closing.
How is the offer price calculated for a duplex?
We evaluate comparable duplex sales in DeKalb, current rental income potential, property condition, and any needed repairs. Our goal is a fair price that reflects the property's true value.
Do I pay any commissions or fees when selling my duplex?
No. EasyOffer charges zero commissions and covers all closing costs. There are no hidden fees, and the offer amount you accept is the amount you walk away with.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
