HOME SELLERS BEWARE OF THE PREDATORS! PLEASE!
Home sellers beware of the predators that are looking to "STEAL" your home and cost you profits! There are so-called "investors" out there that are preying on unsuspecting home sellers that only want to get your home at under market value costing you thousands of dollars. To give you a perfect example of one of them I will post here an email that I received from one of them that was not even smart enough to read the ad that I had posted on Craigslist for one of our clients homes to see that I am an agent. Below is the excerpt from the email that was sent to me with the URLs that were in the email changed to protect the innocent and unsuspecting from actually getting abused by these animals:
Hi,
Saw your posting on Craigslist.
Wanted to drop you a line to tell you that our company buys houses all over the United States and that we would be interested in purchasing yours as well.
Sell your house for a fair price, on the date of your choice, all without doing any repairs.
It’s that simple.

If you’re property is listed with a Realtor currently, we’re probably not going to be able to work with you; however, from time to time we do buy houses that are listed.
Thank you for your time.

PS If you reply to my address, I won’t be able to help you as I’m in the marketing department in at the firm here in New York and I do not make offers to sellers.
We simply won’t be able to help you unless you fill out the attached form.

Notice that they wanted nothing to do with a home that is listed with a REALTOR®! Why? Because they know that we REALTORS® are EDUCATED and would not allow them to take advantage of you and STEAL your home from you.
Home sellers beware! Call a REALTOR® before dealing with any of these predators. Get some advice to ensure that you are not being taken advantage of! We REALTORS® are here to help you avoid the likes of the example above. Please! Make the call so we can help to protect you!
