Beware of Homeowner "Final Notice" Letters... Read the fine print
I recently received a call from a past client who received a letter similar to this one. Unfortunately, I was unable to prevent them from paying for a home warranty they didn't need.
I want to caution you about letters that arrive in the mail and use scare tactics to prompt action. These third-party entities may attempt to sell you unnecessary life insurance, home warranties, or even charge you for a copy of your deed of trust. In this week's Saturday Strategy video, I will share an example of a mailer I recently received.
It is crucial to carefully read the fine print and remember that you can always send us a photo of the mailer to obtain our opinion before taking any action.
P.S. Can I count on you to call us when any friends, family or coworkers are looking to buy, sell or refinance a home? We'd love to help! You can just text/call me at 480.553.8770.
