Receiving unsolicited offers to purchase your land? Proceed with caution.

Many Pennsylvania landowners are receiving unsolicited calls, texts, or letters from real estate companies and investors with offers to purchase. Protect yourself and your property.

  • Research any potential buyer. Consider speaking with trusted local organizations and community members.
  • Regard marketing materials and testimonials with healthy skepticism.
  • Do not let anyone pressure or rush you into signing documents or selling. Communications of extreme urgency are a red flag.
  • Keep copies of communications and read everything carefully if you decide to engage with an unsolicited buyer.
  • Strongly consider reviewing agreements with an attorney before signing.
  • Suspected predatory or fraudulent behavior may be reported to the Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection
    (www.attorneygeneral.gov).
