Is it a scam?

Got a postcard in the mail saying they buy houses for cash 'fast and easy.' My house needs a new roof and the pipes are bad. Is it some kind of scam or will they really buy my house?

Hi Sheryl - it's a bait and switch. They ususally come in and say they will buy the house under certain conditions and if you want more they can list it or have a realtor in mind. Anyone who comes to you directly is going to low ball you!
