  2. The Village will not accept partial paperwork; rental inspections cannot be scheduled until all paperwork has been completed in its entirety.

ESCROW PAYMENT & AFFIDAVIT

A list of repairs is given to the owner after a point-of-sale inspection has taken place. You are given 180 days from the inspection date to complete repairs. If more time is needed, please call the Village (708-753-2416) to file for a 30-day extension.

It is important to note that the Village of Glenwood absolutely does not allow properties to be sold "AS IS". If for some reason repairs cannot be met, ESCROW is determined by our Building Department Director. Escrow is an agreement to the Village that repairs WILL be met. You are given 6 months to make the repairs once Escrow is paid. Once Escrow has been paid, you will have the opportunity to pay for the FINAL water bill (Water Dept. 708-753-2417) then purchase a Transfer Stamp for the property. (Realtor checks, Money Orders, & Personal Checks are NOT ACCEPTED for Transfer Stamps)

Unfair housing practices are prohibited by local law and any discriminatory practices should be reported to the Village building department at 708-753-2416.
