Specializations
Retiring landlords
Ready to step away from tenants and upkeep. We buy single properties and full portfolios.
Unresponsive tenants
Missed rent, lease problems, or tenants who won't cooperate. We buy occupied properties and take it from there.
Inherited properties
A property passed down that no one in the family plans to keep, live in, or manage.
Deferred maintenance
Years of postponed upkeep, original kitchens and baths, aging systems. We see the bones.
Major repairs
Foundation, structural, roof, mechanicals. Projects that stop a retail buyer are routine for our crews.
Major cleanup
Leave the contents. We handle the cleanout, and we treat what's inside with respect.
Water damage
Leaks, flooding, failed roofs, wet basements, mold. We deal with it so you don't have to.
Time-sensitive
A deadline, a relocation, a downsize, a carrying cost you can't keep up with. We move on your schedule.
Family-sensitive
Estates, probate, family changes, and retirement, handled with patience and discretion.
Retiring landlords & portfolio dispositions
Ready to step back? We'll take it from here.
After years of tenants, turnovers, evictions, repairs, and late-night calls, many owners are ready to retire from being a landlord. Selling one property at a time, through listings and showings with tenants in place, can drag on for years.
We specialize in portfolio dispositions. As owner-operators of dozens of investment properties ourselves, we buy portfolios in a single transaction and take over operations the way an experienced landlord would.
Estates & probate
Time-sensitive. Family-sensitive.
Settling a family member's estate is rarely only a real estate decision. There are siblings to agree, belongings to sort, a court calendar, and a property that keeps costing money while it sits.
We specialize in estate sales and work regularly within probate proceedings. We work alongside executors, administrators, heirs, and their attorneys, and we set the pace around the family, not the other way around.
Experience
Residential and commercial.
We own and operate dozens of investment properties across multiple markets in Illinois, and we've completed more than 50 rehab projects since 2022. Our underwriting and management experience covers single-family and multifamily housing, including affordable housing, along with retail, office, flex, and land.
Vertically integrated
Purchasing, construction, materials. All in-house.
Ladybug Realty is a division of The SupplySide Companies, a Chicago-based, family-owned, vertically integrated group spanning construction, material supply, and real estate investment. With purchasing, construction, and material supply in-house, we can be more creative in how we structure a purchase and how we bring a property back. It also lets us commit to a price and a date with confidence.
Ways to sell.
Every seller's situation is different. We build the deal around what you actually need.
Direct purchase
No listing, no invasive property tours. Fast, discreet, as-is, cash offers, with your timeframe and your concerns in mind.
- No repairs, no cleanout, no listing prep
- No agents, no commissions, no closing costs
- Close when you want. Sooner or later. Your call.
Creative financing
When a straight purchase isn't the best fit, we structure the deal around the seller's goals.
- Seller financing and installment structures
- Flexible closing dates and post-closing occupancy
- Sales structured around existing debt or liens
- Portfolio and multi-property purchases
Cash Early Access
Some sellers benefit from receiving cash prior to close. Closing costs, lawyers, bills, and other expenses add up, and cause additional stress on an already stressful situation. Our Cash Early Access program was created for that.
- Available to qualified property owners under contract with us
- Terms set in writing up front
- Ask us whether your situation qualifies
