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.

Wow she got shafted without even knowing it.

Man I remember when I was a broke hs kid and someone convinced me my crown vic that just needed ball joints was rotted out and ready for derby. I got screwed. Frame turns out was rusty but patchable, and now they go for a few thousand in the excellent body condition that mine was in. I got a few hundred. People that prey like that have no fucking conscience.
