If someone wanted to buy your house for three times its market value and their grand plan was to turn it into lumber, would the smart move be to decline?

As a followup to my previous comment—we've lived in this house for over 13 years, and own it outright. If we had lived here only a few years, and had no real equity in the house, that would probably change the equation considerably.
Probably, yeah. For starters, my family likes our house, and we're not really looking to move right now. Like, I'd end up with more money (which is good!) but an angry wife (which is not!).
Depending on the people involved, a company can be much less personal.
