Partner First and Service Link?

I have had a few buddies told me about this company recently and wanted to find out if anyone here has signed up with them.  They claim to be a streamlined short sale company. 

Partner First Short Sale Program

If you have joined, how long has it been and what kind of results have you seen?

They let you register for free but then want to sell you a $399 certification, charge you $45/mo and then $30 to join referral databases.  This sounds as fishy as can be to me!

    Partnerfirst? Anyone seeing positive results from their premium membership?
    Ok, so i've been signed up with them for a year now I think. Last December they had a Webinar and they stated that they are ironing out a few things…
    • Jason all of the REO and Short Sale Realtors are checking these boards before signing up with any company charging fees.  If you would answer the questions posed to you on the board it would help your cause in the way that you wouldnt appear as if you might be hiding something.

      How about you answer this question. Since 2/2010 how many leads has your company sent out to your members that have completed and paid for your training? I am member and took your training and haven't heard a peep.  So I know a way to quiet all your critics. Answer my question and share some important information. What are you doing to help your members that are paying you hundreds of dollars?

      Thanks in advance for answering the questions above.

      • What happened to Jason... LOL...

          • How about answering these agents concerns in a public forum Jason...  By your own numbers, I believe you had 5,000+ agents at last count.  5,000 agents at $45/Month and $495 to start is over $5,000,000++. 

             

            Other than some training, is EVERYONE offers and only the inexperienced and typically poorly performing agents actually need, what have you DELIVERED to justify this money.   What is the average agent getting to justify their $1,000+ investment.

            • Sooner or later, agents will realize that paying companies up-front fees in hopes of getting listings is like playing the lotto...we all know how well those odds are.

              They will also realize that forums like this one can help them avoid the likes of Unity Asset Management, Evaluations Solutions, Absolute REO and Banker REO!
              • There are not too many lenders on board using PartnerFirst.  Infact, Chase will contact the agents direct on three-way with the realtor and seller online at no cost to the realtor to initiate a short sale.  I just settlled 2 Chase Short Sales where Chase initated the call with the homeowner online.  Just providing a service direct with the home owner, the lender and realtor.  There is no need for a Third Party like Partnerfirst obtain a fee.  What are you getting anyway most realtors have CDPE certifications or have knowlege regarding short sales.

    • The problem is that there is no exclusivity. There are over 50 agents within 20 miles of me!
