What is your final price?

Marlene May
Posted

I just got an email:
"What is the final price for your property? Send me the final price along with more pictures of the property to my email address: ________or call me on
Tel. No: +44 704 ---- ----, i am ready to purchase right away.
Actually, that IS my final price...

.......I think.........
It is in line with local comps, in fact, probably a little less.

I'd like suggestions on responding to the person. The phone number indicates he's out of country. Is that a Great Britian code?
Apparently he saw the ad on Craigslist. The MLS number is there also, but CL has few details.
What do I need to be wary of?
Thanks
Marlene

With craigslist, unless the emailer referred to something unique about my item for sale in their email, I don't respond. Or they give me a local phone number to call. Things like "do you still have this "item"?" are most likely phishing scams using autbots. They need to call you, give them a phone number in your response. If they call, you may have a deal. If they don't, at least you weren't phished.

Unfortunately, craigslist ads result in a lot of these emails, it is a chore to sort out the genuine buyers from the scams.

Good luck!
