Illinois foreclosures go through the circuit court, so the public signal is a lis pendens, and the borrower has a 90-day reinstatement right plus a redemption period. That long window gives you months to reach the owner while they still hold title. Skip-traced, DNC-scrubbed, pulled fresh. Filter by county or ZIP across all 102 counties. $0.22 a row, $0.50 minimum, no subscription.
Illinois foreclosures run through the circuit court, with a 90-day reinstatement and a redemption period. Three public stages, and our list is the first, with months of working time.
A lis pendens is recorded when the foreclosure suit is filed in circuit court. The borrower gets a 90-day reinstatement right from service. Owner still on title and reachable.
After judgment, a redemption period runs, often seven months from service or three months from judgment. The owner can still hold the keys deep into the case.
The property is sold and the sale confirmed by the court. Owner gone. The whole process often runs 10 to 16 months, longer in Cook County.

Get started →Illinois judicial timelines and the redemption period give you months to reach the owner. Four buyer types work it four different ways.
The core buyer. Cash offer around 60-70% ARV, owner avoids a foreclosure on their credit report. Needs hard-money or private-capital backing.
Negotiate a discounted payoff with the lender on the owner behalf. Lower margin per deal, more deals per list.
Lend enough to cure the default, take a first-lien position, refi out later. Low conversion, high ticket.
Owners hit with a default notice are actively searching for help, and direct attorney outreach at this window converts well.
Most "pre-foreclosure" lists are dressed-up proxies: 90+ days late plus high loan-to-value. Illinois gives a clean court-filed signal, and we use it.
Illinois forecloses through the circuit court, so the public signal is a lis pendens recorded when the suit is filed, not a private notice. Illinois returns about 8,500 active, the order of magnitude of true litigation inventory, not a six-figure proxy dump.
The borrower has a 90-day reinstatement right from service, plus a redemption period that often runs seven months. That is months of time to reach the owner while they still hold title.
Owner identity, skip-traced phones and emails, estimated equity, mortgage balance and lender. 90+ columns, so you score an Illinois deal before you call.
The court-document detail (case number, exact lis pendens date, scheduled sale date) is not in the file. You get the flag, the owner, the equity picture, and the contact path, pulled fresh. Filings are public record, so we do not promise exclusivity.
The tools usually recommended for Illinois pre-foreclosure data are $50-100-a-month subscriptions, billed whether or not you pull a single list. We charge by the row, with an optional plan for high-volume teams.
Pull 50 Cook leads for a test campaign and pay eleven dollars. Pull 5,000 across Illinois next month and pay for 5,000. Never pay for a month you didn't use.
