6 Red Flags That Mean Walk Away Immediately
If any buyer does these, they're overcharging you. End the conversation.
"Sign today or the offer expires"
Legitimate buyers give 3-7 days minimum. Pressure = bad deal.
Refuses to provide discount rate in writing
If they won't show the rate, it's above 14%. Walk away.
Upfront fees or "processing deposits"
Legitimate buyers charge zero upfront. Fees come from the transaction.
Rate above 15% for period-certain payments
Market rate is 7.5-12%. Above 15% = predatory.
"We're the only company that can buy this"
Any licensed buyer in your state can purchase. Get competing quotes.
Won't explain court process clearly
Every sale requires court approval. If they're vague, they're hiding complexity.
