Frequently Asked Questions
How do you value a nursery or greenhouse in DeKalb County?
We evaluate the land acreage, greenhouse structures (type, age, and condition), irrigation and climate control systems, retail frontage if applicable, and the overall property value in DeKalb County.
Do I need to sell off plant inventory before closing?
No. You can liquidate inventory separately or include it in the sale. We are primarily purchasing the real property and structures, though we can negotiate inventory as a separate line item.
What if my greenhouses are outdated or in poor condition?
We buy greenhouse properties as-is. Torn poly, broken glass panels, aging heating systems, and deteriorating structures are all factored into our offer without requiring repairs.
Can I sell if my nursery license is expired or inactive?
Yes. The real property value exists regardless of licensing status. An active nursery license may add value, but an expired one does not prevent a sale.
What about well permits and water usage rights?
Water rights and well permits in Illinois typically transfer with the property. We verify all water allocations during due diligence to ensure a clean transfer.
How fast can I close on a nursery sale in DeKalb County?
Most nursery and greenhouse sales close in 14 to 30 days. The timeline depends on title clearance, water rights verification, and any environmental review in DeKalb County.
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.”
