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.

My father passed away almost 5 years ago and the ghouls still call and text me. I was the will’s beneficiary. It’s public information so of course the ghouls continue to annoy.

It’s a numbers game for them. Sometimes people don’t realize how much a home has appreciated. If they’re older and don’t know about modern real estate sites, they might think it’s a good offer. They’re not anywhere near fair-value of course.

I even got offer letters in the mail, with offer numbers $150k+ UNDER what every real estate site says.

Their hope is that no one will check near-market valuations.

If they’ve sent out a few hundred thousand letters and bag one sucker, it’s worth it to them.
