    I received an offer to buy purchase agreement from HemingwayLand for property I own in another state. The printed price offered was $40,810. When I called to accept, I was told there was an error by the printer of the letter and that the actual price being offered was $7,500. Isn't this deceptive practice?

    Here at Hemingway Land we purchase about 600 properties a year. Some of those properties are purchased by mailing offer letters to property owners. The offer letters have an offer price and if the owner/seller agrees to sell for that price, we pay them what's offered in the letter, typically by closing through a title company where the property will not be conveyed to us until such a time as the owner/seller has been paid. We mail about 10,000 letters a month and have been successfully doing business this way for six years.


    Recently, however, the mailing house we use to mail our letters had an error in the mail merge (which merges the standard letter text with property-specific details including the offer price) and everyone in this one specific County is receiving the wrong offer price. In most cases the offer is dramatically higher than we intended. This is unfortunate and regrettable and we are as upset about it as the people receiving the over-priced offers. In the interest of transparency as well as not getting anyone's hopes up (and saving everyone a lot of time) our Acquisitions Department has been instructed to politely let those responding to the offers know that 1) there was an error in the mail 2) the actual offer would be X (in most cases much less) and 3) this is NOT how we normally do business. Most of the people responding to these letters seem to understand the offer was wildly over priced to begin with and that mistakes happen. 


    To be clear: This is NOT how we normally do business/make offers. There was an error with the printer. We're not pleased about it either. We agree that it looks bad and we apologize to anyone this has inconvenienced.
