I like so many listed here was approached by Housevalues.com. I was sold a line of garbage about how the leads would be good, "not all" but I should expect to convert one in ten. That sounded reasonable. After eight months, nothing. Now before you assume, as I am sure housevalues will state, that I am not a good sales person and it is my fault, I have checked the address of those "leads" for which an address was available and only 4 homes actually ever went on the market.
So, assuming I was the best sales person in the business and I converted 100% of the leads, I could have only converted 4 leads out of close to 400 which I paid for. That is a ONE PERCENT conversion.
Remember, housevalues assurred me I would net 10 percent.
The whole thing is bogus and I am ashamed that the National Association of Realtors endorsed these guys. I dont suspect we will have much luck with bbb or courts, but I hope I am wrong. I feel our best leverage is with OUR trade group, NAR.
We should all complain and get some relief.
