Love Letters. Real Estate

[dmccarty]

We got some letters Saturday from a land buying company located in AZ.

They offered 25%, yes 25%, of the likely value of the land.

They most be smoking something...

Later,

We receive at least two letters a week offering to buy on of our rentals or vacant property. Never had anyone list a price. I just use there phone number and email address to sign up for all kinds of offers.

I like that idea!

It’s been probably 25 years ago we put an offer in on a house. Nice place, bigger than we wanted. Only problem was it needed a well. We went back and forth with the owner twice, he came down something like $250. We gave up quickly and a short time later bought the place we have lived in since.

A week or two later the first guy called me, your not suppose to do that, your suppose to go through the realtors. He didn’t think we were serious buyers and he had done some checking and found out we could afford it. He wanted to know if we were still interested? NO!

Now that I know about the love letter thing maybe if we had written him one we could have made the deal happen.

Letters are not so blunt here.
Usually from a Real Estate agent just mentioning that they are looking for properties to list. No direct offers as such. I've only had 2 or 3 of them.
Not interested at this point in time. Just starting major improvements.

Am I the only one to get these offers?

"Want to lease a single acre of your farm for legal dope growing".

Third letter recently (all different senders), in the couple of years since legalization. On letterhead and everything, apparently legitimate realtors.

Oh hell no! Can you imagine the 3am armed trespassers?

No, they offered 100K lower than our asking price we wanted 850K and they offered 750K.
They paid closing, all inspections were already done by inspectors, and yes we got the 30 days to get out of Dodge.
She was a realtor, not my favorite people...

What I find amazing is you have over 2,000 posts and that's the first time ever noticed your Avatar LOL

And more realistically than the dope growers, a few Realtor letters per year like this showing what they can do for you. No thanks.

My 11 acre orchard is in apples, not grapes, and I don't have renovated buildings like this so I'm not his ideal customer.
This place he's listing has obviously been bought and flipped, renovated for maximum 'ambiance' (Real Estate buzzword) to sell to some rich San Franciscan as a weekend getaway. Similar ads often show weekend guests sharing a bottle of local premium wine on the deck looking out over the vineyard. Pride of ownership and all that. Farming? What's that?
