@UBotMate cumrag and biscuit estate is legit man!

@UBotMate Ours are often Sharma Dawalli, regardless of the race, they seem douchee to me lol

@ShepherdBard
Super cute? 👀

@mindstruggle anti cute

@ShepherdBard
Not for me. 😌

@joe438 One should never reply to any suspicious, unsolicited message!

I wonder what that fraud attempt was trying to do - steal your home perhaps?

@ArishMell if I had to guess, I’d say it was probably legitimate, and when they came to do the appraisal, they would offer me less than the check was written for. I suspect the check was merely an advertisement of their interest.

People do steal titles. If you contact any of these people making offers, you will end up giving them some information which potentially could give them away to steal your title. You’re right-don’t talk to them at all.

@joe438
GOSH DARN the bad luck! 😡 I hope they were at least grounds from a good coffee brand!
I guess it could have been worse. What if it accidentally got dropped in a shredder?

Yeah it is tempting to give these people h3ll, especially unsolicited calls BUT, what one really does is verify they have a legit contact.

@TurtlePink I’d assume the best case scenario for any of those would be them offering well under what the house is worth

@TurtlePink Mail? Oh yeah that happens all the time. After a while, you can immediately tell what it is with practically no clues.
If the first word in the letter is "I" or "We", I read no further and it goes in the circular bin.

@ShepherdBard Even when they put an offer on those mailings, they would probably try to lowball later.

@Jenny1234 flyers is one thing but they also knock on your god d4mn door?

@nedkelly I have read an article about who is behind this. Huge groups like Black Rock wanting to buy up properties and remodel them and increase the property value so they can be rented out. Believe this is one reason for the inflation in the housing market.

@JimboSaturn right lol

@JimboSaturn I write on them return to sender address unknown 🤣🤣🤣 and drop them back in the mail box

@Punches Not necessarily. My house is paid off, so I would take the money and buy another house outright in a cheaper state or use it as a down payment on a more expensive house.

@MsSwan That is good. Thing is, those real estate investors who want to buy people's houses, my understanding is they tend to lowball.

I mean if someone sells their house through a realtor or whatever, yeah they can probably get a decent amount but those random companies offering to buy (even though a property is not on the market) they won't offer jack.

@Punches Good point.

@hunkalove I guess it just goes to show they target anyone.

@jackrabbit10 Tell them to "Want" in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which fills up faster.

@Punches lol, one way to get rid of them

@TryingtoLava 👀

@JimboSaturn You could politely say, "Sure, my realtor would contact you". Of course a realtor would not begin to entertain their p*ss poor offers.

@MsSwan These companies must think EVERYone is in the situation you stated above. And yeah, "unload" is probably the right word in such a case. I have never sold a house but I heard the process of doing it through traditional methods is a long and expensive process so who knows.

I wonder how long these companies have been around? Have you ever seen Back to the Future part 2? (mid 80's) When I was a kid and it came out, I wondered what the heck that guy meant by, "Tell that real estate sucka we ain't sellin'!"
I know NOW of course.

@MsSwan If you haven't seen it, something screwed up the time line between 1955 and 1985, so the main character thinks this is where he lives but due to events having been changed, it wasn't his house.

@Punches i tell them im leaving this house feet first

@nonsensiclesnail A million is the normal price of a house nowadays in Canada

@JimboSaturn Seems to be in a lot of places these days. So, a million for just a visit feels like a good move.

@BittersweetPotato you may be onto something 🤔

@BittersweetPotato there's nothing to brag about being a home owner. Property taxes, insurance, gas, electric, yard work, decorating, plumbing repairs, ac repairs, washer, dryer, fridge repairs, it's a money pit.

@aboveaverageaveragejoe Having a place to live, you forgot that one!
