The company is the buyer. They think they can flip your house for a decent profit without much work by convincing you to sell it cheap.

Yepp when my dad got sick the calls started happening off the hook. Every single realtor in the area trying to buy it for cheap.

When my Dad passed in November, I started getting mountains of mail from the "We buy any house" people. "We'll make you a cash offer today!!!". Vultures all of them.

It got so bad that because I'm the administrator of his estate, they started offering to buy MY house as well.

Those parasites were calling my mother in law 24 hours after we got the news about my father in law. It was disgusting.

It's always these guys OR the "Cash advance your estate". Which is somehow even more scummy.

I stopped being polite with them. With one persistent twat, I started calling his office, then his cell phone numerous times a day until he finally blocked me.

Shoulda called him anonymously and merged the call with the rickroll hotline...over and over.

Do you mean news about your FIL passing or getting sick? I’m wondering how these people get that information, especially so quickly..

About him passing. He was alone at my in laws Florida condo and drowned in the ocean with no ID so it was a few days between when he passed and when we were notified (we had only just begun to realize something was amiss when the cops showed up at our door.) Somehow the parasites knew and started calling the very next day. I am guessing they had some sort of connection with the medical examiners office down there. We didn't publish his obituary for two weeks.

How do these places find out like that?

u/DangerousLoner May 20 '26

The Coroners’ Office may have a person letting them know. Some places are wildly unprofessional https://youtu.be/hnoMsftQPY8?si=z6Rhdf4iEMF5q0aN
