Are you receiving unsolicited texts from people wanting to buy your house?

Listened to Tim Dillon describe how excited he gets conducting fake business, mostly real estate. I got a text today as a matter of fact, inquiring about a home and if it was for sale. Now, do I own the home? Certainly not. But, I might or might not represent a client who does and might or might not be interested in selling. We’ll just get the ball rolling and see what happens. Why not.

I had an email from someone who supposedly wanted to buy mine. I just ignored it.

Constantly. As well as my parents house and my parents' former houses.

It's probably an Indian scam to get you to confirm your current address so they can link it to your phone number for later use or something (idk exactly but they do this)

I typically get the “wanna see my vagina” texts with a link- sometimes they just show me and a link

FWIW, this constitutes a legal contract.

Congrats on the purchase of a new home.

Even worse, I get prospective buyers that knock on my door.

Not necessarily Blackrock but investment buyers. I throw an insanely high # at them and they dissappear.

I'm in a situation where I may give someone like Blackrock a shot at giving an offer within the next 6-12 months. Sell the family home in ETx and move to NWA or SwAr. If anyone has a good anecdote about how these cats work please share.

Not texts, but I've gotten letters in the mail from multiple people/entities making ludicrously low offers for my land.
