I'm in this industry, and I'll tell you exactly how to avoid the bad actors in it:
π© Pressure. "This offer expires tonight" is a sales tactic, not a real constraint. A legitimate offer is still there tomorrow.
π© Won't put it in writing.
π© The number drops right before closing ("re-trading") after you're emotionally committed.
π© Can't tell you plainly whether they're buying it themselves or assigning the contract.
π© Asks for money up front. Never.
Ask anyone who contacts you β including me β those questions. Anyone legitimate will answer them without getting weird. Save this one. π
