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!

Get lost, Kent. Don't come on here to prey on agents.
Funny stuff. I am an agent also. Just showing link from Service Link website on PartnerFirst short sale network. I signed up with PartnerFirst for 1 month and canceled due to mis-representation. You serioulsy need to get educated. There was a lot of debate on issue with connection from Service Link to PartnerFirst. Just provided the link. LOL.

Kyle: We had a number of Brokers at Home Buyers Marketing II sign up & pay all the fees. We even took the many hours to get certified in all of their categories. With no exception we have all left the program. No leads, no response, zero return on the investment.

This kind of stuff really pisses me off. Unfortunately I called this one from the beginning over 18 months ago - http://www.theshortsaleguide.com/forum/topics/partnerfirst-short-sale. I've called them out in the public since the beginning. These guys make it hard for REAL companies to do business. At one point they said they would only have a few agents in each zip code, only to sign up as many as 50+ agents in Los Angeles and some areas. Someone SHOULD set up a class action suit.
By my estimates, they got away with at least $5,000,000-$8,000,000 or more now.
I could help coordinate a class action. Seriously. Between Myself, Jesse, SS Superstars and other partners, we could come up with 40,000+ active agents. Heck, I've emailed the national database of over 1.2 Million agents. It could be done.
Partner First is blasted for their deception on just about every real estate forum I have read. Ramez appears to be the only one, of the hundreds of victims who were robbed of their membership/subscription fee, who professes to have received work from them. That probably explains why others received nothing because Ramez received them all. I don't buy it for one second.
My post is a plea to any one who can assist the agents, including myself. who have been robbed/scammed by Partner First, by pointing us in the right direction to file complaints with the appropriate regulatory agencies. I smelled a scam a little too late after paying the exorbitant membership fee and about 3 months of the $45.00 rip off monthly fee. I realized this after noticing that their empty promise of "exclusive zip codes to only 4-5 agents", when I checked their website to find that each zip code had at least 30 or more agents, while no contacts were ever received by me from homeowners to be interviewed in order to initiate a short sale process. It was and continues to be all lies. I was able to stop the $45.00 monthly deception fee, but still waiting for a refund of the initial "membership fee". They operate like a ponzi scheme.
I remember reading on another site a couple of months ago that the company was started by person(s) who had lost their real estate licenses but do not know whether or not this is true.
They operate by pure deception and unjust enrichment at the expense of trusting real estate agents.
We need to stop complaining to each other by posting our gripes and losses here and other forums and set the wheels in motion to report them to state or federal authoriries. Where do we start? Can someone knowledeable on filing claims to the correct jurisdiction assist us here?
Jason Crawford can do us all a favor and refund all the unearned fees they gouged us with. I truly don't know what reflection he fantasizes when he looks himself in the mirror on a daily basis.
July of last year they were offering 100% money back they were saying in their emails to those not happy with their service.
Hey Mike,
I am a member of your company. I wanted to let everyone know I actually did get one listing. Sadly it was a tandem in a town where most people don't even know what that is. It went to auction two days ago, there was just nothing I could do. The worst was that it was only a short on the second. Dang it! Everyone who called thought it was a duplex and didn't want a tandem. Those who didn't want a duplex never called because that is what they thought it was. Sadly, I didn't close the deal and haven't received any other leads, but your office did follow through on the listing. So way to go!
Are you talking about ME at Short Sale Specialist Network, or Partner First on this thread???
