  • Jesse I always enjoy your posts. They are not only informative but the logic behind the advice is so professional. I also have signed for this service and have not received any benefits. I will not be renewing this year.
  • I had joined up with them however, I did not receive any assignments thru them. I have noticed however that some of the agents who were on before me are still there. I would suggest that you find out from them, especially of one in your area if they have benefitted from the site. In my case it was not does not mean that it will not be good in your case. For me, I did not renew after it expired.
  • Thanks Jesse! I'll check it out. Karen
  • I will tell you what I did, then you can do it as well.

    Typcially, all these pay sites have "Realtor Directories" so I just query my local area and personally contact those Realtors and ask, "Has being a member of XYZ Company provided a measureable difference to your business?". I did that with REOAgentRoster.com and mostly I heard, "No, we aren't renewing our subscription"

    Tip # 1: If they have a public "Agent Directory", that typically means they don't have connections with banks and you are just on a mailing list they market on line. My understanding is that legitimate lead generation firms don't pulicize thier Realtor Directories because of the confidentiality agreements they have with thier banks.

    Tip # 2: Contact thier current memberhsip or ask for referrals from thier customer service. I call agents across the country on these types of sites. If they don't have a public directory, I call customer service and ask for referrals. Most of the time, they can't give me a referral so I move on.

    Tip # 3: Check the local BBB website to where the companies HQ is located. Corporate BBB complaints go to the local office where the HQ of the subject company is located. So, if you check your local BBB but the companies HQ is located in another city, you may not get a complete and accurate picture of thier BBB record.

    Tip # 4: Always check with REOPro members, with almost 1000 members across the nation, someone may know something that can truly be helpful.
