Episode #210 - Vulturistic Practices
from Open House with Team Reba Hosted by Reba Haas, Eric Aasness
When somebody dies, the vultures gather. It’s not only true for the unfortunate straggler crawling through the desert, but down along the dark underbelly of the real estate industry as well. In this episode of Open House, Reba and Eric take a close-up look at the tactics of “equity skimming” firms who take advantage of the vulnerable, be it the elderly homeowner unaware of their property’s actual value, or the grieving family of the recently deceased. Learn how to recognize the tell-tale signs of such scams, as well as the rare instances when it may be to your advantage to take them up on their ‘vulturistic’ offers, along with special arrangements you can make with contractors to pay them on a renovation job only after the sale on the home closes, as well as a host of other tips and tricks for getting the most out of the market for your home. Get out your binoculars, because Reba and Eric are going vulture spotting, in this episode of Open House with Team Reba. Support the show
