Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the value of a surface parking lot in Des Plaines?
We evaluate your lot based on land value, location, size, zoning, development potential, and current income if it is an operating paid lot. In many cases, the land itself is the most valuable component.
Can I sell a parking garage with structural issues?
Yes. Concrete parking structures develop spalling, rebar corrosion, and waterproofing failures over time. We buy parking garages as-is, including those with significant structural maintenance needs.
What if my parking lot has a lease with a parking management company?
Management leases typically transfer to the new owner or can be terminated per the agreement terms. We review all operating agreements as part of our due diligence and factor them into our offer.
Do I need to remove parking meters, gates, or payment systems?
No. All parking equipment, gates, ticketing systems, and revenue control equipment can remain in place. We handle equipment decisions after closing.
Will you buy a parking lot that is being used informally without permits?
We buy parking properties regardless of permitting status. If the lot has been used for parking without proper permits or zoning approval, we evaluate the situation and handle compliance after closing.
How fast can I close on a parking property in Des Plaines?
Surface lots can close in as few as 7-14 days. Parking garages typically take 14-21 days due to structural assessment. We work to match your preferred timeline.
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.”
