We Do NOT Cold Call — Local Home Buyers USA Sets the Record Straight
Setting the Record Straight
We Do Not Cold Call.
If you received an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be "Local Home Buyers" and then found us through Google — we need to clear something up. That call did not come from us.
Local Home Buyers USA7 Minute Read
We hear from homeowners regularly who tell us the same story: they got a cold call — sometimes several in one day — from someone identifying themselves as "Local Home Buyers." Frustrated and angry, they Googled the name. Our website appeared at the top. And they assumed we were the ones who interrupted their dinner, their weekend, their peace of mind.
We understand that frustration. We really do. But here's what needs to be on the record: Local Home Buyers USA has never made an unsolicited phone call to a homeowner, and we never will. It's not a gray area. It's against our company policy, against our values, and fundamentally opposed to how our business has operated since the day we started.
A Note From Our Team
We want to be candid with you: these cold callers are damaging our reputation, and we're angry about it too.
Every week, we hear from homeowners who are understandably upset — people who have been called three, four, five times by strangers using some version of our name. They land on our website looking for someone to hold accountable. We get it. If someone was using our name to harass you, we'd be furious too.
The difference is that we're not the ones calling. We've spent years building a business we're proud of, and watching unaffiliated companies — and in some cases, overseas scam operations — drag our name through the mud with aggressive cold calling is infuriating. We didn't write this article because it's good marketing. We wrote it because enough is enough. You can read our full No Cold Call Policy here.
The Root of the Problem
Why People Confuse Us With Cold Callers
The phrase "Local Home Buyers" is generic. It describes a category, not a specific company. Think of it the way you'd think of "neighborhood pizza shop" — there are thousands, and they are not all the same business.
Across the United States, there are dozens of unaffiliated companies, independent wholesalers, real estate investment groups, and outright scam operations that use some variation of "Local Home Buyers" when they cold call homeowners. According to Better Business Bureau complaints, some of these calls originate from overseas call centers using generic American-sounding names to appear legitimate.
Here's what happens next: the homeowner does what any smart consumer would do — they search for the company online. And because we've spent years building a real, authoritative presence, Local Home Buyers USA dominates those search results.
You land on our site. You assume we called. We didn't. But now that you're here, we want you to know exactly who we are and how we actually work.
"We do not cold call. We do not send unsolicited texts. We do not purchase call lists. We do not use overseas call centers. Every single homeowner we have ever worked with came to us first — through their own search, on their own timeline, by their own decision."

Industry Context
This Is a Nationwide Problem — Not Just Ours
If you've been getting unwanted calls about selling your home, you're far from alone — and your frustration is completely justified. The real estate investment industry has a well-documented cold calling problem that has plagued homeowners across the country for years, and it's only getting worse.
Companies and individuals purchase property data from public records, county tax assessor databases, and third-party data brokers. They build call lists targeting homeowners they believe might sell — people going through divorce, facing foreclosure, dealing with inherited properties, or who have simply owned their home a long time.
Wholesalers are often the most aggressive. These are middlemen who don't actually buy your home. They lock you into a contract at a low price, then sell that contract to an investor for profit. The homeowner gets the worst deal in the chain. Then there are outright scam operations using fake or generic names — including "Local Home Buyers" — to add credibility to their calls.

The only way we operate
Documented Pattern
The BBB Has Recorded This Exact Problem
We're not the only legitimate business dealing with this. Multiple Better Business Bureau listings for companies named "Local Home Buyers" include owner responses confirming that overseas scammers have been impersonating their businesses for years by cold calling under their names. One business owner wrote that they've reported the issue to the FTC repeatedly, only to be told the callers are overseas and out of reach. Another described it as an ongoing battle they've fought for years.
This is not speculation. It is a documented, recognized pattern that affects legitimate companies with generic names across the entire cash home buying industry. And frankly, it makes us furious — because every one of those scam calls erodes the trust that real businesses like ours have spent years building.
How We Operate
An Inbound-Only Business, Built on Trust
Our entire model is built on organic visibility. When a homeowner decides to explore their options, they turn to Google. They search for terms like "sell my house fast" or "local home buyers." They find us. They read our content. And if our approach resonates, they reach out.
That first contact is always initiated by the homeowner. Always. There are no exceptions and there never have been.
But here's where we differ from most companies in this space in an even more fundamental way — and it's something the cold callers will never offer you.
The Difference
Two Very Different Approaches
Other "Local Home Buyers"
The Cold Call Playbook
✕Cold call from purchased lead lists and public records
✕Hit you with a lowball cash offer — often 50–75% of market value
✕Often wholesalers who flip your contract for their own profit
✕Pressure tactics and repeated calls after you've said no
✕May operate from overseas with no verifiable business presence

The Partnership Approach

✓We partner with you, not against you — no middlemen, no contract flipping
✓No pressure — explore your options with zero obligation
✓U.S.-based with a verifiable address, registration, and track record
Our Signature Program
Why We Built the Bee's Knees Partnership Program
Here's the thing most cold callers won't tell you: a lowball cash offer is designed to benefit the buyer, not the seller. The traditional "we buy houses" model is built on acquiring properties for 50–75 cents on the dollar and pocketing the difference. Homeowners walk away with far less than their property is worth.
We saw that problem and decided to solve it. The Bee's Knees Partnership Program is our answer — a model built around partnering with homeowners rather than simply purchasing from them at a steep discount. The result is a fundamentally better outcome for the people who matter most: the homeowners themselves.
🤝
Partnership, Not a Purchase
We work with you as partners, aligning our incentives so that when you do well, we do well. No adversarial negotiation.
📈
Maximize Your Return
Instead of a lowball cash offer, our partnership model is designed to help you retain more value from your property.
⏱️
Speed & Convenience
You still get the speed and simplicity of working outside the traditional listing process — without sacrificing your bottom line.
🛡️
Full Transparency
Every step is clear, every number is explained, and you're never pressured into a decision. Walk away at any point.
Protect Yourself
How to Verify Who Actually Called You
If someone cold called you and identified themselves as "Local Home Buyers," take these steps to determine exactly which company it was — and whether they're legitimate:
Ask for their full legal business name. A generic phrase like "Local Home Buyers" is not a legal business name. A legitimate company will have a formal name registered with their state.
Ask for their website URL. If they can't provide one, or the URL leads to a generic template with no real content, that's a significant red flag.
Ask for a physical office address. A real company has a real address. If they hesitate or offer only a P.O. Box, proceed with extreme caution.
Ask for their state business registration number. You can verify this through your state's Secretary of State website.
Search their phone number online. Scam and spam numbers are often flagged in public databases and community forums.
If the information they provide doesn't match Local Home Buyers USA, then you have your answer: it's a completely different, unaffiliated company. If you'd like to verify our details directly, you can visit our contact page for our official phone number, address, and business information.
Want to report unwanted cold calls? Register with the National Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov. File complaints with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and your state attorney general's office. These agencies track patterns and take action against repeat offenders.
Transparency
Why We Dominate Google — And Why That Matters
We don't rank at the top of search results by accident. We earned that position by spending years building a real business with genuine content, real results, and earned trust. Search engines reward companies that provide value and demonstrate expertise over time.
Here is the irony: the very reason you're reading this article is the same reason you might have incorrectly assumed we called you. Our search presence is a reflection of our legitimacy — and we're using that platform to tell you the truth, even when the truth is complicated.
Our Promise
Our Commitment to You
Whether you came to this page because you received a cold call and you're fed up, because you're researching your options, or because you're genuinely considering selling — here is what you should know about us:
We will never call you unless you contact us first. We will never text you out of the blue. We will never show up at your door uninvited. We will never pressure you into a decision. And we will always be transparent about who we are and how we operate.
We know how violating it feels to have strangers call you about your home — a place that's personal, that's yours. And we know how maddening it is when you can't figure out who's actually behind those calls. We wish we could stop them for you. We can't. But we can make absolutely sure you know that when you're ready to talk, you will be the one who starts that conversation.
If you want to explore a smarter way to sell — one built on partnership instead of lowball offers — our Bee's Knees Partnership Program is here for you. But only when you're ready. Only on your terms.
That's not a marketing tagline. That's how we built this company from day one.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear often — especially from homeowners who found us after receiving a cold call from a different company.
No. We have never cold called a homeowner and have a strict policy against all unsolicited outreach — cold calls, spam texts, and mass mailers. Every homeowner we work with found us through an online search and contacted us first.
Almost certainly not. "Local Home Buyers" is a generic phrase used by dozens of unaffiliated companies, wholesalers, and overseas call centers. Because we rank at the top of Google, people assume we called. We are not affiliated with any company that cold calls.
It's our signature home selling program. Unlike traditional cash buyers who make lowball offers at 50–75% of market value, our partnership model works with homeowners to maximize their return. We built a better model because we believe the standard "we buy houses" approach shortchanges sellers.
Traditional cash buyers offer well below market value to maximize their profit. The Bee's Knees Partnership Program partners with homeowners instead of purchasing at a discount, meaning you retain more value from your property while still getting speed and convenience.
Ask for their full legal company name, website, physical address, and state business registration number. Verify independently. If it doesn't match Local Home Buyers USA, it's a completely different company. Report unwanted calls to the FTC and your state attorney general.
No. We are a legitimate, legally registered company. We operate with full transparency, provide clear partnership terms with no obligation, and never pressure homeowners. The confusion is caused by other companies using similar names — which is exactly why this article exists.
Register at donotcall.gov. Ask each caller to add you to their internal do-not-call list. Report violations to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and your state attorney general. Use your phone's built-in call screening or install a call-blocking app.
Not inherently, but they can violate federal and state regulations. If your number is on the Do Not Call Registry and a company contacts you without a prior business relationship, they may be violating FTC rules with financial penalties per violation. Enforcement is difficult with overseas or spoofed callers.
