We Buy Houses Signs I call every single one of these signs that I see, I actually keep a note book full of numbers and info that I find out about these companies when I call.I usually ask them whether they are still buying, what they are looking for, what percentage up FMV they are typically paying, and what areas of town they want to buy in.While I have them on the phone I also ask them if they wholesale out any of their homes, if they do then I ask them to call me when they have something good.
