** **** of Local Home Buyers has sends us several postcards every month addressed to *** ****** and it is regarding selling the home at *****************************. The problems with this is: 1. We are not *** ****** 2. *** ****** is DECEASED 3. WE are NOT legally able to sell this land as *** ******** widow still occupies it. 4. The home belongs to *** ******** widow. 5. The postcard also says "Current Resident"; as the current resident, we have no interest in selling our home. 6. Our address should never be associated with *** ******** house. I have returned every postcard ** **** has sent us and included a note in the envelope to have his company remove this address and stop sending this unsolicited mail. I have also emailed *************** company and requested he stop sending these cards to us. I have let him know this is NOT *** ******** address. ** **** and his company have willfully ignored all of our requests (at least 10 of them) and continue to send us these postcards. We want MR **** and his company to remove our address ***************************, from his files and stop sending these postcards. Mr **** should be sending these cards to *** ******** widow, but she most likely will not sell to him.

SD ******,
Apologies for continuing to mistakenly send you mail. I just went through and scrapped your listed address from our mailing list and ensured proper removal of your address. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Company has continuously robocalled me even though I am on the DO NOT CALL list and I have asked them to stop calling me many many times. I could at least 60 calls in the past 12 months.Business Response

****,
This is not us calling you. These are scammers just name dropping my company name. I have had an ongoing issue with these people and have even reported them to the *** who came back and told me they are overseas and they could not do anything. We are a small family business that only does business here in **********, ** and would only call you if you had reached out to us. These scammers calling you are not affiliated with my company in any way.
Owner,

On February 15th, 2022 I signed a DocuSign agreement emailed to me to sell my house to ************* of Local Home Buyers in **********, ** for $150,000. The following day I requested an advance of $1000 if he'd agree to subtract it from the price at closing because of the financial situationI was in at the time, he obliged. This was the day he actually came to see the house in person for the first time. After returning to my home that afternoon with a check cut for $1000, ** would only agree to hand it over if I let him void our initial contract of 150k and agree to a sale price of $140,000.I reached out to AJ the day before asking if he was interested in the property. He asked what I'm looking to get out of it and I replied $150,000. He exact reply was "seems fair." He requested I send pictures, so I sent roughly 15. ** liked what he saw (without very having stepped foot in the home or on the property) and agreed on the price. Then at 3:05pm on February 15th (that same day,) I was emailed the contract for a sell price of $150,000. I logged into DocuSign and signed the contract.That Thursday, the following day, ************* dangled a $1000 check in front of my face, took advantage of my desperation at the time, and essentially loan-sharked me a 1k advance under the condition I owe him 9k, due immediately. His reasons were after looking at the house it needed a bit more work then he initially realized. However, he made the mistake of agreeing to a sale of a home based solely off of pictures, which he responded positively too, therefore agreeing to the $150,000 sale price.Business Response

*******,
After an inspection of the house a price reduction was required due to the condition of the property. The price reduction was agreed to by both parties (***************************** and Local Home Buyers). You signed the settlement statement and signed all the closing documents with the agreed upon adjusted sales price. This sale took place 9 months ago and you were given all the funds owed to you at closing via a cashiers check. All the proper documentation has been filed by the attorneys and can be looked ** in the public records.

Over the past year I have received several calls, sometimes multiple a day in reference to selling my property (which is NOT for sale). Every time I have told them to remove me from their list (which I never signed up to be on). Repeatedly they call back sometimes from different numbers pushing the same agenda. When you ask them to remove your information they say ok and immediately hang up . Today they called my government extension to solicit again and again I told them to remove me and that they would be reported. They hung up without a word. It has gotten to the point of harassment.Business Response

*****,
These people calling you are not associated and have no affiliation with my company. I have had this ongoing issue with these people illegally using my company name but have been unable to track them down to make them stop. I believe they are scammers who just name drop my business name for credibility and a website you can look up. My company only does business here in **********, ** and would only be contacting you if you had reached out to ** directly.

We (everyone in our household) have received predatory phone calls and text messages from various call centers and from localhomebuyersinc themselves urging ** to sell our house. after numerous attempts to get them to stop, nothing seems to get through to them. this started about a year ago after my father passed away and every call and message is just another blistering reminder of what we lost that day.Honestly we just want them to stop, no more call, text messages, anything.Business Response

****,
The people calling you are scammers and have no affiliation or association with Local Home Buyers. We only do business here in **********, ******* and would only call you if you had reached out to **. I do not know who the people calling you are but they do not work for us and if they say they do they are lying and illegally using my company name.
