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).
