He’s chancing that there will be at least one buyer out of several thousand people who are in financially dire enough straits that they will sell their land for $250.
That’s my understanding how the Zuck expanded his estate. He offered a low rate on property, then he sued the rest of the land owners and promised to bankrupt if they didn’t sell on his terms.
I’ll give you 300.00. 🙂
I get multiple.calls.and communications from these types.....the bottom feeders of the real.estate industry, as if one can go lower in that field. I’ve gotten settlements from 2 for violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act for unsolicited contact.
With the others, I always tell them there is a $2,500.00 non-refundable pre-negotiation fee if they want to continue talking to me. I have yet to hear back from the same one twice.
They’ll get a laugh out of anything you send them.
If you want to hurt them, accept the offer, go down the path until you have to commit, then decline. Waste their resources, make them pay.
When I was stationed at Ft Polk the Army had spots reserved at Toledo Bend. Rented many a pontoon boat there. And, no, I would not sell for $250
We had the opposite happen we received an unsolicited offer for three times what we paid 30 months ago.
You CAN post it as long as personal identifying information is censored. People post medical and work letters all the time - at least they did when I last used it 3 years ago.
You might be amazed what advice you get, but I guarantee this is a ploy by cartels to buy up land so they can have the excuse of, “private property!” when feds show up to take the people into custody.
Ignore their offer. If you feel you have to respond use a
simple reply. Like.... No. Thanks for the offer. Or
something to that effect.
Yeah I have gotten two similar letters from similar scumbag realtors, offering a pittance for land.
The first one offered three thousand for my property which is worth a hundred times that, and I wouldn’t sell it even at that price.
The land is now in a trust, and the trustee (who would not legally be able to sell it anyway, and the realtor dang well knew that), got a letter offering $750 in cash for the property, if the deal was consummated within 24 hours.
I’d have more respect for these people if they tried to rob me at gunpoint.
texas...mineral rights are separate ?
We got one last week...no price mentioned but simply an interest in purchase.
I told them that since inflation is now an issue, the price is 1.5 million..and cash or certified bank check. Better hurry cuz inflation is adding to the price daily.
So what do they do? Same type call, same number and I give them the same reply.
I get those.. I always use the enclosed envelope to return their offer along with a dollar bill. I suggest the sender invest in a decent pair of shoes. I laugh uncontrollably.
We get those silly offers all of the time.
Pitch it.
I regularly get offers of less than $1000/acre for my wife’s 56 acre farm. I just throw them in the trash. But I suppose you could compose a rambling story that would totally waste their time, leading them on that you might be willing to sell because you have used the lot to get rid of certain “things”. Then in the last sentence tell them that you are afraid of people poking around and don’t want to sell.
I get about one per day on my tracts of land in East Texas. All about 25-50% of market value.
Be careful, many are just marketing companies which want to help you sell the property. They don’t buy just list it at the low price you bit on….
$250 a square foot might be a good counteroffer. 100 x 50 foot lot for $2.25M.
Test their level of interest. The Chinese and Hispanics that call me up don’t even put a number out there - so you are already doing better than me.
It’s a weird market for sure. I bought a used SUV last June for $7k.
A week later a dealer offered me 10k.
A month or so later a dealer from Wisconsin offered me 13k.
The first dealer recently offered me 20k.
It’s idiocy.
tell them they will have to reimburse you for every penny of assessments for all those years, plus money at market value equal to the number of future years of lost enjoyment, should you sell.
Didn’t do good with dates or sales? You don’t get if you don’t ask and you don’t keep asking if you are offended by NO.
I get the same letters.
I call them and invest 15 minutes or so leading them on asking lots of questions and getting them to think they have a mark. Sometimes I even tell them I have money problems. That really gets them slobbering. After that I tell them to go eff themselves and to let their friends in the same business know what I said.
I also lead them on and tell them we can make a deal at an outrageously high price. One made the mistake of telling me to be reasonable. I hope he regretted that.
I do the same thing with sales callers that break through my ring of defenses. When they think they may have a sale I tell them that all my assets are in the control of a guardian because of my mental health issues and prior convictions.
I usually keep the gate closed but when expecting a delivery I don’t want left there I open it. I was out spraying last week and some glad handing all-hat-and-no-cattle dude drives up, realtor he says, real tree or something like that.
Sure do have a nice place here.
Thanks, it takes a lot of work.
Are you interested in selling it?
Nope. You can leave now I have work to do.
I can get you a good price for it.
I asked you to leave. Now I’m telling you so leave.
Sorry, didn’t mean to make you mad.
Well, you did so git.
What I do depends on how much time I have and how irritated I’m feeling. I’m feeling more irritated with each passing day but also have less time so one offsets the other. I have what I want and worked for and I intend to keep it for as long as I can. My active goal is to be left completely alone.
Long answer but I’m recruiting fellow antagonists.
