FAQ

Questions, answered

What's the fastest way to sell my house?

Selling directly to a cash buyer like Arete. We buy as-is with no repairs or showings, and can close in as little as 7 days.

How do you decide on the offer?

We look at your home's current condition, any repairs needed, and recent comparable sales nearby. The offer is transparent and there's no obligation to accept.

Are there any fees or closing costs?

No. We cover standard closing costs and charge zero commissions. The number we quote is the cash you walk away with.

Can you buy an inherited or probate property?

Yes. We regularly buy inherited homes and can guide you through the probate steps for a smooth sale.

Will you buy a home that needs major work?

Absolutely — foundation issues, fire or water damage, outdated interiors, you name it. We buy as-is.
