Anybody get calls from strangers wanting to buy your real estate?

I try my best to avoid these people but sometimes they get through. They always text/call/email to buy my rental property.
Here are some exchanges.
Guy: I'm interested in buying your rental property. Do you have a number in mind?
Me: Well, you called me so you must have an idea.
Guy: Well, my partner is the one who crunches the number.
Me: Ok, have him call me. (Doesn't call back)
Guy2: I want to buy your property
Me: Ok, you have a price?
Guy2: No
Me: Do you know anything about the property?
Guy2: No
Me: So you call me up wanting to buy my property but you don't know anything about it? (He giggles)
Guy 3: I want to buy your property
Me: you have a price?
--->I get offered 50k less than the purchased price (15 years ago).
Me: I think that's too much. I can't sleep at night knowing I'm taking advantage of you.
I guess these guys keep trying until they get an unsuspecting grandma to take advantage of.

I’d quote them about $5m and see if they are dumb enough to bite.
If they get pissy about it, I’d remind them that they called me and that they weren’t making the initial offer.

I get a letter about my rental place every month. No calls yet.

Ask them if they want to know where the bodies are or not.

Two days after my Mom passed, my Dad started getting almost non stop calls and mail about wanting to purchase my parent’s home. One actually showed up at his door after he stopped answering calls. Guy almost got shot.

They're called in inside sales agents. The Keller Williams office I'm an in-house lender with has several. That's all they do, cold call trying to find potential houses for sale. With the skyrocketing home values, you'd be surprised how any people have no idea and never thought about selling until that phone call. Ya, they'll make a killing off selling their property, but then they have buy and that's the challenge.

Several times a month, the calls go to voicemail and the postcards in the mail....

Yeah I get calls and mailers. And see the We Buy Houses signs.
I'm not offended because I used to do it myself years ago.

Yea some Indian guy who owns a few hotels called, he didn’t have enough money to purchase.

I haven't gotten calls yet, but I've gotten several things in the mail about it. One had a whopping offer of $7,500 for quite a few acres.

I sent a guy a handwritten letter offering to buy his property. I let him know in the letter it was for me and my wife to build a house on, not to flip it or use it as a rental. Never got a response but I didn't feel bad about trying.

I get texts a lot interested in buying my dad's house in Houston. Always send them back a ridiculous number

Yes. I quit answering the dam phone. Always get a call from someone from texas asking if i want to sell my property there. Problem is i dont own any property in texas.

I got a letter about it, but no calls yet. The market's insane right now.
Posted on 6/14/21 at 12:35 pm to PeteRose
I just get calls asking what I am wearing.

Here are a few creative ways to deal with the calls.
1. Ask if they have found Jesus and start quoting Bible verses.
2. Tell them you can't talk right now because you are trying to do #2. Make grunting noises.
3. Tell them the property is for sale at 25 million dollars cash only.
4. Ask if they want to hear you read the most recent entry from your deviant sexual fantasy journal.
5. Tell them the property is tribal land and that the Bungafuken tribe has to vote on any transactions.

I get calls or texts several times a week about buying my primary residence.
A few months after my father died, I started getting inquiries about purchasing his house. I don't own that house. My mother does, and she's still alive.
