What Aurora homeowners should know
Aurora sits about 40 miles west of Chicago along the Fox River, and it’s unusual for spanning four counties: Kane, DuPage, Will and Kendall. The oldest housing sits close to the river in the Near Eastside and Tanner historic districts, with Victorian-era homes from the 1850s through the early 1900s, including identified Sears catalog kit houses and a handful of early-1950s Lustron steel homes. The West Side and East Side, the city’s traditional dividing lines on either bank of the Fox River, hold more of that older stock, while the far east and southwest edges add postwar ranches and newer subdivisions in the DuPage, Will and Kendall county sections. The Fox River has flooded before, most severely in July 1996 when a state-record 16.94 inches of rain fell in 24 hours and swamped low-lying blocks near downtown. Between older homes needing system updates and the four-county paperwork, owners here often look for a simpler as-is sale.

Why Aurora owners sell as-is
A four-county tax and court split
Aurora spans four counties, so your township assessor, appeal board, and probate court depend on which slice of the city your home sits in. Kane County handles most of the city, with DuPage, Will and Kendall each running their own assessment and appeal calendars for the rest.
Fox River flood history
The July 1996 flood set an Illinois state rainfall record, 16.94 inches in 24 hours, and inundated low-lying blocks near downtown and the river. Older homes in the East Side and West Side historic districts sit close enough to the Fox River that flood history and insurance can come up during a sale.
Aging historic-era housing stock
Between the Near Eastside and Tanner historic districts, many Aurora homes date to the late 1800s or early 1900s. Original wiring, plumbing and roofing in homes this age often need updating before a lender will approve a traditional buyer’s loan.

Kane County (the city also extends into DuPage, Will and Kendall counties)
Probate cases for most of Aurora go through the 16th Judicial Circuit at the Kane County Courthouse in Geneva; foreclosure sales in Kane County are held the first and third Thursday of each month in St. Charles, and the county’s tax sale runs the last Monday of October. The DuPage, Will and Kendall County sections of Aurora instead follow those counties’ own probate, foreclosure and tax-sale rules.

Selling a house for cash in Aurora
Aurora spans four counties. How do I know which one handles my house?
It depends on your address. Most of Aurora is in Kane County, with sections also in DuPage, Will and Kendall counties, each running its own township assessor, tax appeal board and probate court. If you’re not sure, your property tax bill will show the county. Whichever county you’re in, we can work with that county’s timelines when buying your house as-is.
My Aurora home is an old kit house or has original wiring. Can I still sell it as-is?
Yes. A lot of homes near downtown Aurora date to the early 1900s, and original electrical, plumbing or roofing is common. That kind of deferred maintenance is exactly what an as-is cash sale is built for, since you don’t need to update systems to pass a buyer’s lender inspection first.
Does my house being near the Fox River affect selling it?
It can affect a traditional sale more than a cash one. Homes near the river, especially in the older East Side and West Side neighborhoods, may need flood zone disclosure or come with higher insurance costs, which can make financed buyers nervous. An as-is sale sidesteps most of that back-and-forth.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Aurora?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
