This is essentially a scam and you'll find it anywhere that housing prices are on the rise. These people are looking for older / less clued in owners who are easily confused and in need of cash. They can trick these people into selling well below market rate by going directly to them.
Sadly it works. If you have an older relative who may be in cognitive decline try to make them aware of this trick!
- dlp211 6y agoThis isn't always a scam. I'm not saying one way or another what this was, but I have been solicited for a purchase on my home as well and I'm not old and certainly not in cognitive decline.
- masonic 6y agoThis is essentially a scam Not always. I just got a hand-written letter from a losing bidder on another home in our small complex that sold last month. You learn to differentiate the home seekers from the property flippers.
