Home Assistance Partners is a Chicago-based team of experienced real estate professionals dedicated to the South Side communities we serve. We're local, we know these neighborhoods, and we genuinely care about them.
We are a team of experienced real estate professionals dedicated to helping homeowners facing difficult circumstances, including foreclosure, financial hardship, and other types of distress, exit their homes with dignity and peace of mind.
At HAP, we understand that selling a distressed home is one of the most stressful experiences a family can go through. That's why we lead with empathy before anything else, and why we give homeowners all of their options, including ones that don't involve us.
We lead with understanding before anything else. We acknowledge that the person is going through something hard and we never minimize their situation or use predatory language publicly.
We educate homeowners on all their options, including options that don't involve us. This counterintuitive approach builds more trust than any sales pitch. We never hide the process or pressure timelines.
We are the steady hand in a chaotic situation. Our approach is professional and knowledgeable. We've been here before and we know what to do. Panic is the enemy. Our guidance is the antidote.
HAP operates in Chicago's communities, particularly the South Side. We are local, we know these neighborhoods, and we care about them deeply. This is not a faceless national company. We are neighbors.
Most distressed property companies offer only one path: a low-ball cash offer, take it or leave it. HAP offers a genuine choice because we operate on both sides of the market.
HAP partners with two dedicated affiliates to deliver on both exit paths. For homeowners who want a fast cash sale, HAP connects them with Guardian Management & Property Investments (GMPI), which makes fair as-is offers and handles the entire purchase process. For homeowners who want to list on the MLS, HAP works exclusively with Breakthrough Realty (BTR), a licensed real estate company that provides preferred rates to all HAP clients and specializes in getting homes market-ready.
We also don't disappear at closing. Step 6 of our process is a follow-up to make sure you've landed somewhere stable. That commitment to your outcome, not just the transaction, is what separates HAP from every other buyer in this market.
