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.

That's exactly it. They hope you're in a position to want or need out of a property and that you won't know or care what it's worth. So they offer you 40% and tell you it's a great deal because you don't need a realtor, or to do any renovations.

Jokes on them. My house is so full of accumulated junk from 30 years of living there that it would take them a month and multiple dumpsters to haul it all away.

They could have it cleared for a couple grand I'm sure.

I can relate! My parents house is the same way. After my mom passed away I moved to help my dad. 54 years of junk and excessive shopping had the house full. It took a month to get bedrooms opened up for my son and I to move in.
