I’m in the unfortunate position to be job hunting, so I have to answer unknown numbers. For years, I’ve gotten “I’d like to buy your house” spam calls. I’ve never been in a situation where I’d sell to a random caller. I can’t imagine one, either. I can imagine needing to sell my house, but I’d call a realtor or something. I wouldn’t engage a random cold-caller.
Does that ever work? Is it legit? I assume it must be profitable, because they keep doing it.
We sold our house last year and did work with one of those guys to at least get an idea of value and then went with a realtor and made about 30% more than the cash offer guy.
Based on random “offer” mailers I get, I’m a little shocked that the cash guy was within 30% of market value.
