Scam Alert - Rebuilt, Home Buying Company

 Owners around the nation may be receiving unsolicited offers to buy homes and property, the latest received here in Florida is from Rebuilt of 15 Century Blvd,, Suite 307, Nashville, Tn.

They also are found under the names Rebuilt Realty, LLC and Rebuilt Nashville.

Much like other offers to buy property, deception is the key word to look out for in dealing with any company offering to buy land or homes through a mail offering.

A quick online search comes up with caution warnings, including the Better Business Bureau with a list of comments and complaints about Rebuilt. They are given a one star rating from 22 reviews.

Rebuilt seems to be one of the most deceptive offer of late. A fake but real looking check is enclosed as payment for the property they want to buy. The very fine print indicates you don't want to deposit this check as it has no banking numbers but otherwise looks legit. The also say "This offer may or may not be the fair market value of the property...and may go up/down based on property condition and other factors.

Google reviews are not any kinder, with 121 reviews and a 2.7 star rating.

Advice: Don't waste your time on offers sent by mail. The companies will try to get you to agree to a price much lower than market value for the property, no matter what the letters seem to indicate.
