We provide cash offers within 24 hours of receiving your property information. In many cases, you'll receive your offer the same business day. Our rapid assessment process uses market data, property records, and condition information to generate fair, competitive offers quickly.

We can close in as little as 7 days from offer acceptance. However, you control the timeline completely. If you need more time to relocate, we can accommodate closing dates 30, 60, or 90+ days out. Our flexibility allows you to plan your move without pressure while maintaining closing certainty.

No preparation required. We purchase homes as-is: no repairs or renovations needed, no cleaning or staging required, no landscaping work necessary, and you can even leave unwanted items. You can sell your home in its current condition without spending time or money on improvements.

No. We typically conduct one brief property assessment to confirm condition, and that's the only visit required. There are no showings, open houses, or multiple buyer visits disrupting your daily life. Your privacy remains protected throughout the process.

We handle all documentation and paperwork on your behalf. You'll need to sign standard real estate transaction documents including the purchase agreement, disclosure forms, and closing documents. All paperwork is processed through a reputable title company or attorney, and we guide you through each document to ensure you understand everything before signing.

Our offers are based on comprehensive market analysis including recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, current market conditions and demand, property location/size/features, current condition and needed repairs, and local market appreciation trends. We provide fair market value accounting for the as-is condition and the convenience of a rapid, certain cash transaction.

The total net amount you receive is often comparable or better when you account for all factors. Traditional sales include 6% agent commissions, repair/renovation costs, staging ($2,000-5,000+), continued mortgage/tax/insurance payments during listing, and potential price reductions during negotiation. With Ardiu: zero commissions or fees, no repair costs, no carrying costs from quick closing, and guaranteed closing price.

No. Ardiu charges zero commissions and zero fees. The offer amount we present is exactly what you'll receive at closing (minus any existing liens or mortgages that need to be paid off). Standard closing costs such as title insurance and escrow fees are covered by Ardiu in most cases.

Yes. While we provide our best offer upfront based on thorough analysis, we're open to discussion. If you believe there are factors we haven't adequately considered or if you have information that affects the property's value, we'll review and potentially adjust our offer accordingly.

No obligation whatsoever. Receiving an offer from Ardiu creates zero commitment. You're free to review the offer, compare it with traditional selling options, consult with family or advisors, and make the decision that's best for your situation. Many homeowners request offers simply to understand their options without any pressure to proceed.

We purchase various residential property types including single-family homes, townhouses and row houses, condominiums, multi-family properties (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes), and manufactured homes on owned land. We consider properties in any condition, from move-in ready to significant repair needs.

Yes. We specialize in purchasing homes in any condition, including those requiring foundation repairs, roof replacement, electrical or plumbing updates, structural modifications, fire or water damage repairs, mold remediation, and complete renovations. You don't need to make any repairs. We account for repair needs in our offer and handle all improvements after purchase.

Yes. We purchase occupied rental properties with existing tenants. We can either assume the existing leases or work with you to transition tenants appropriately. This provides landlords with an exit strategy without the complexity of evictions or waiting for lease expirations.

Yes, in most cases. Liens, judgments, and other encumbrances can typically be resolved during the closing process. We work with title companies to clear these issues, and the amounts owed are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. Inform us of any liens during the initial consultation so we can factor them into our offer.

We can help. Many homeowners we work with are facing financial difficulties, foreclosure, or mortgage delinquency. Our quick closing timeline can often prevent foreclosure proceedings. We work directly with your lender to satisfy the outstanding mortgage balance at closing, potentially protecting your credit and providing you with a fresh start.

We currently operate in major metropolitan areas and are continually expanding our coverage. Submit your property information, and we'll let you know immediately if we're active in your market. Even if we can't purchase directly, we may be able to refer you to a trusted partner in your area.

Yes. Divorce situations often require quick property liquidation to divide assets fairly. We can work with both parties and their attorneys to facilitate a smooth transaction that satisfies legal requirements. Our rapid timeline eliminates prolonged negotiations and uncertainty during an already challenging time.

Inherited properties present unique challenges, especially if you live far away or the property requires significant work. We regularly purchase inherited homes, handling all complications including probate requirements, multiple heirs, and property condition issues. We work with estate attorneys and executors to ensure all legal requirements are met.

Absolutely. Job relocations often come with tight timelines that traditional real estate sales can't accommodate. Our 7-day closing capability allows you to sell quickly, settle affairs, and relocate without maintaining two residences or rushing back for closings and showings. We can even facilitate remote closings if you've already moved.

If you're underwater on your mortgage (owe more than current value), we can help explore options including short sales. We work with lenders to negotiate reduced payoffs, potentially allowing you to sell without bringing cash to closing. While we can't guarantee lender approval for short sales, we have experience navigating these situations and can advise on your best path forward.

Yes, rent-back arrangements are possible. If you need to sell now but aren't ready to move immediately, we can structure a leaseback agreement allowing you to remain in the home as a tenant for a negotiated period. This provides immediate liquidity while giving you time to plan your transition.

Our Affordability Calculator helps buyers determine how much house they can realistically afford based on income, existing debts, and available down payment. It applies industry-standard debt-to-income ratios (28/36 rule) to calculate purchase capacity that maintains financial health. This tool is essential for buyers planning their next home purchase after selling to Ardiu.

Our Mortgage Calculator provides comprehensive monthly payment breakdowns including principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and PMI (if applicable). It shows total monthly obligations and long-term cost scenarios, helping buyers make informed decisions about purchase price and down payment amounts when planning their next home.

If you're selling your current home to purchase another, these calculators help you understand exactly how much you can afford with your sale proceeds, plan monthly budgets before committing to a new property, compare different down payment and financing scenarios, avoid becoming "house poor" by over-extending your budget, and make data-driven decisions rather than emotional choices.
