rang my doorbell to inquire if my neighbors still live there?
Yes, I could have asked him why he wanted to know. Instead my gut response was "even if you are from the county, I am not going to talk about my neighbors." So he said okay, he would contact them directly. But he took pictures of their house before he left. If he would have looked on Zillow, he would have seen the for sale listing as well.
There is a for sale sign in the window with their phone number. And just between everyone on DISboards, they moved four days ago. Literally, just pulled out to move to a different state four days ago. Owner works for his insurance company so not anything insurance related.
We have been neighbors for 15 years and all of us around are watching their home until it sells and have a key to their home. I just didn't feel like sharing with someone I didn't know. One neighbor is cleaning/dusting the home, another taking care of the grass, etc.
Perhaps he wants to buy it? LOL.
I have already texted the neighbor a picture of his business card so she can be aware if he calls her.
Homes on the market with a real estate agent usually go like hotcakes but they are doing a for sale by owner. They bought land in another state so when this home sells, they will start building their new home. They will be living in their RV on their sister's property until the home sells. It is not a foreclosure.
ETA: This is Florida so perhaps he thinks they are claiming a homestead exemption while not living here. You can only do a homestead exemption on your primary residence.
