I purchased my home in late 2018 for $175,000. These past 7-8 months, there is a couple that continuously sends offers in the mail every week with sometimes a long letter. Every time they send a letter, the offer is always increased by a good amount. This last offer was for a little over $430,000. Well a couple of days ago, I received a letter from them asking why I have not responded to any of their letters.
I have not responded because I'm simply not interested in selling, but should I respond at this point? What used to be one letter a week has now become two letters a week.
Google their names. Google their number. Google their address. They're probably scammers, and (unless your home is worth more than you realize), they're working come sort of con. Dig DEEP (maybe on a burner laptop, from some business's wifi, if you have to pay for any information. Pay with a gift card that can't be traced back to you.)
At the very least, they're going to pull a bait-&-switch, or share your information with "an associate".
You're smart in not responding. Responding is like inviting a vampire into your home.
Just toss in the garbage we receive offers like this quite a bit since the market has gone crazy. We also get text. I delete, block and throw letters in garbage I don’t waste my time.

Why on earth would anyone waste that much time on probable scammers? Tossing their letters in the trash is much quicker and easier.
What's your price? Give them that number, no matter how ridiculous. Are these just normal people or is it some investor that's probably sending out lots of letters?
...there is a couple that continuously sends offers in the mail every week with sometimes a long letter.
If this term "offer" is not in the form of a contract with earnest money...
then all you have is an invitation to have a CONVERSATION about the idea of an offer.

I keep my paper shredder near the carport door where the mailbox is.
