I’m FED UP with getting Unsolicited Mail from Reliable Home Buyers in Deerfield Beach, FL wanting to buy my home when it’s not for sale. I’m on the Direct Marketing Association’s do not contact list and consider their persistent Unsolicited Mail to be harassment.

This is the address which is on their envelope;

Reliable Home Buyers
550 Fairway Dr #103B
Deerfield Beach, FL 33441
866-392-2177

If I was interested in selling my house (which I’m not) they would be the LAST place I’d consider. IMO, places like ‘Reliable Home Buyers’ are looking for GULLIBLE people who needs quick cash so they can buy houses at below market prices.

I’ve refused their letters with notes on them telling them to leave me alone and called, demanding they take me off their list numerous times, but the letters keep coming. So today (11-15-2023), I filed complaints to the Federal Trade Commission, the Florida Attorney General and contacted attorneys about filing a Class Action lawsuit. Something needs to be done to make them stop harassing people with these unsolicited letters.

Post your complaints in the comments area below and I’ll include them with my complaint to make them leave people alone to the Federal Trade Commission and Florida Attorney General.

Hey, I want to buy your house: Homeowners besieged by unsolicited offers

Lots of speculators are jockeying to get in on the hot market. Sometime they call homeowners multiple times a day. It can be an invasive nuisance, or worse.

Homeowners nationwide are being besieged with postcards, letters and phone calls from persistent “house flippers” wanting to make a quick profit from GULLIBLE homeowners.

Per the above article: “Oftentimes, the solicitations offer a free no-obligation written offer,” says Michael Froehlich, an attorney with Community Legal Services in Philadelphia. That might sound harmless enough. But he says predatory outfits do that to get a homeowner to let them in the door.

“These guys get into their house, and they use these high-pressure and deceptive sales tactics to sort of hammer and hammer and hammer the homeowner until the homeowner signs the documents.” He says he has seen elderly or lower-income residents sign away their homes for half of what they’re actually worth.

And sketchy speculators are operating in other cities too. Gabriela Raimander is a homeowner and real estate agent in St. Petersburg, Florida. She recently got a postcard in the mail that looked particularly worrisome.

“THIRD NOTICE,” it reads. “I am hoping that this card catches you in time.” She says it looks designed to scare maybe an elderly person into calling the number back. “For whoever is going to fall for it, I guess.”

Gabriela Raimander got this card in the mail. She crossed out her address and other personal information. She assumes it’s designed to trick perhaps elderly people into responding.  She has also been getting some of those homemade postcards with pictures of her own house on them. “I live on my own,” Raimander says. “That’s just creepy as all get-out. I don’t want to have some stalkers stalking my property or, you know, essentially me. It’s just, blech.”

New city law aims to crack down on real estate ‘wholesalers,’ seen as exploiting underinformed property owners

The law, set to go into effect two months after passage, is a response to those who quickly profit in long-disadvantaged neighborhoods, where property values are often worth more than owners realize.

Per the above article; “The city of Philadelphia recently passed a law to crack down on the sketchier practices. It includes a local do-not-call list specifically designed to block cold calls from home buyers”.

A similar law needs to be passed in congress to stop these assholes from harassing homeowners NATIONWIDE.
