Regulatory bodies can enhance protections for vulnerable homeowners by implementing stricter licensing requirements for house flippers, similar to those imposed on real estate agents. This would ensure that individuals engaging in real estate transactions are held to ethical standards and have a fiduciary responsibility towards their clients. Additionally, establishing mandatory cooling-off periods or rescission rights for sellers after signing contracts could provide them with an opportunity to reconsider deals made under duress or misinformation. Moreover, creating specific guidelines and regulations targeting deceptive marketing tactics used by companies like HomeVestors, such as targeting elderly populations or individuals facing distressing life events, would help prevent exploitation.
