I don't mind being marketed to; but the tone of these marketing letters just sounds off to me. I'm sure "Jess and Greg" probably exist, but it feels a bit icky.
Anyone actually responded to one of these letters? What was the outcome?

No. They are ads, just ignore them
LOL no.
Yes, I am Greg
Classic Jess and Greg
Jess and Greg are beside themselves as they are having so much difficulty finding their eighth investment property in your area.
No. I’d say not. I get letters like this all the time. I think it’s bullshit.
It’s an old template and a pack of lies – if anything, it’s useful for alerting you to the particularly appalling ethics-free practices of that particular estate agent, so you can avoid them like the plague and warn anyone you know who is selling.
I’d be willing to sell to Jess and Greg privately so you get none of my fucking money
I will sell but only to Jess and Greg
Yeh fkn right they exist
This is Jess and Greg all over.
$12million dollars – and I’ll even throw in the family, animals and all the gear.
I would not trust anything with an RE letterhead. I tried leaflet dropping when I was looking for a place a few years ago and had no success, don’t blame people for binning it haha but was a bit desperate. Friend had success but we are talking like 15 years ago, a different world now!
Wasn’t there couple from the block a few years ago called Jess and Greg lol
When we finished our house reno within about 2 weeks of moving in I got called, by name, by some buyers agent for someone wanting to buy my place. They asked if there’s a price that would get us to sell it. I said well I mean there’s always a price isn’t there? Like if someone offered me $10million I wouldn’t turn them down. I didn’t hear back.
Greg is just a name they assign to you when you reach 30.
I received the same letter but Paul and Kerri are interested in my place so they must be real…
I actually bought through this agency and had a genuinely good experience, but it did annoy me to get this last week.
If jess and greg wanted to buy your house I’m not sure why they are involving clark real estate and not a buyers agent/approach you directly. It makes no sense, deffs fishing for potential sales and commission.
Jess and Greg saw your house from across the bar and really dig its vibe
No.
But by a total random coincidence, I have a cousin called Jess and she married a guy named Greg. She’s an utter slag though, don’t sell to them (tbh I think they’re divorced now but I don’t speak to that side of the family)
I’m Greg. Jess is my dog
You should report these sharks to the ACCC or fair trading. Real estates falsely advertising under he guise of selling to desperate people wanting your house. This can be classed as harassment via false information. Don’t let them get away with this! Adverts like these, is how they talk our older family members into selling for next to nothing so that they can profit.
Look, if they want my house so badly they can knock on the door and talk to me directly. They’ll get a better deal than if they go through an agent like this, I bet.
Ask to sell with this agent. Have agent prepare contract. When not Jess and Greg listed as buyer be really sentimental and refuse to sign contract.
Actually that’s way too evil to an actual poor buyer who genuinely thought they had the house. Screw these agents though.
I sold with them I wouldn’t recommend
If I actually owned property at this juncture, I’d be writing back to say:
“Dear Clark Real Estate,
Kindly inform Jess and Greg that the only time I will *consider* selling my property at this juncture is when I am six feet under and stone-cold dead. And even in that instance, I will be leaving my home to someone who is *not* Jess and Greg.
Fuck off and never contact me again,
The owner.”
