How to easily spot a scammer and avoid getting scammed?
Check out the profile of the company
When people experience an ugly situation like a divorce, serious medical issues, or a death in the family, they will want to sell their house as soon as possible. This will leave them more susceptible to unscrupulous people and scams. This is why it’s important for you to properly check-out the company before proceeding with a business relationship.
Is this a legitimate company or just a graduate of a seminar who is looking to get in touch with you for buying houses? In fact, a lot of these people who claim to be real estate investors have not bought a house. It's possible that they can't secure a loan to purchase your home.
Is it a real company or just a lead generation ‘virtual’ company? With the advancement in internet technology today, a lot of companies exist online. If you respond to these companies, the lead will be sold to the highest bidder.
How to know if the offer is fair?
Judging the legitimacy of an offer can be one of the most challenging parts when in such a distressed situation. You might want to sell fast but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get the most out of what you deserve. Unlike scammers, professional investors will know your market and they will consider the time it takes for them to fix your house before selling it.
What if the offer is ‘too good to be true’?
If you feel the situation is like this then it probably is. A professional always works hard in order to create a ‘win-win’ situation for all parties involved. This basically means they look to offer terms that would be fair for all parties. They will be making offers that they can live with because they would want to close quickly. A lot of unscrupulous investors will look to make offers that are higher than other potential investors. They will then wait a few weeks or months looking to sell that house to someone else. In cases they can't, what do you think will happen? Those investors will not close on your house. This means that in a few weeks or months you will end up right where you started – except you would have wasted a lot of time and money too. Then again you will have to look for someone who will make a fair offer. You will be surprised by the number of experiences we have had where we have investors outbid us on a house, only for the homeowner to call us back in a few weeks as the investor wasn’t able to close on the deal.
How to find such professional real estate investors?
What is the easiest way of getting in touch with professional real estate investors? The answer is us! At OkemHomeBuyers.com, you get the most reliable and trusted services. We provide fair deals for all involved while making it more convenient for you to sell your house.

Remember to check out the advertising
Always be aware of the bandit signs. There are a lot of seminars that teach the new students if they are interested in buying houses, they should put up signs on stakes at intersections around the preferred areas of the city. In many cities, these signs will be considered as environmental pollution and are illegal. So what does this tell you about the company? How can a company not have any money to invest in legitimate advertising but have enough money to close on your house? Sounds like a scam doesn’t it?
Deal with the professional real estate investors
Easily the best way of protecting yourself would be to deal with an experienced real estate investor. They might not make the highest offer but they will definitely provide you with a fair offer. Additionally, you will also get a guarantee that they will be able to close on the deal quickly.
