February 4, 2025 — COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Commerce is advising residents to exercise caution when encountering unsolicited offers to buy their real estate. This warning comes in light of increasing reports of individuals receiving unexpected purchase proposals, which may not always be legitimate or in the best interest of homeowners.
The Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing emphasizes that homeowners should carefully scrutinize any unsolicited offers. It is crucial to verify the identity of the buyer and the legitimacy of the offer before proceeding.
