re: Anyone else get calls asking if you were interested in selling your house..?

I had someone knock on the door once when we were in the Chicago suburbs and ask if we were selling. I thought it was a scam. But it was just some broker trying to find a house in a very specific neighborhood in the height of the market. She was just asking if we knew of any going on sale in the next few months. She heard from one of the neighbors that my wife was a medical resident and ended up googling her and asking if we were moving away after her residency or if we were willing to rent the house back until we she completed her residency.

I said no and I'm glad I did. Prices went up by the time we decided to sell, and they didn't even have to put a sign out front before we had offers.

I can't imagine cold calls or knocking on doors like that work very often but if it didn't...people wouldn't try it.
