It feels like every week another “generous” company drops a letter in your mailbox promising to buy your home fast, for cash, and with no fees or commissions. Some even claim they can give you an offer right over the phone.That line alone should stop any seller in their tracks. If someone is willing to “value” your home without ever stepping inside it, you’re not getting a fair offer — you’re getting a shortcut designed to benefit them, not you.
