I’m in the unfortunate position to be job hunting, so I have to answer unknown numbers. For years, I’ve gotten “I’d like to buy your house” spam calls. I’ve never been in a situation where I’d sell to a random caller. I can’t imagine one, either. I can imagine needing to sell my house, but I’d call a realtor or something. I wouldn’t engage a random cold-caller.

Does that ever work? Is it legit? I assume it must be profitable, because they keep doing it.

    Based on random “offer” mailers I get, I’m a little shocked that the cash guy was within 30% of market value.

      Same here. I had one of these bozos reach out to me and wouldn’t give me an exact price but said he bought a “similar” home nearby for $120k.

      Nah…fuck off. I paid more than double of that for my house.

      I really wish I could get my fucking phone number removed from wherever it is that these scumbags pull from because their “offers” are nowhere near reasonable and just a waste of everyone’s time.
