I signed up for Style Agent and got pulled in by their pretty layouts and sales pitch before doing any research. I should have caught onto things in the beginning when I called initially, i had to call 2-3 times before i could even get anyone to sign me up! Maybe they were giving me a sign, because certainly i am the fool here. After i finally spoke to a man, i complained about how tough it was to get service and other agents wouldn't be this persistent and would have moved on by now, his reply was: 'That's because other Agents have better things to do like selling houses.'
That was the beginning of their HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They make you pay the $499 for a setup fee then the first month $39 up front. Well it basically took a month to actually get the site up besides the fact they preach about their 7 day turnaround. So $39 out the window. How the hell does it take that long for a pre-made layout? Then once i finally got it up, i figured out i couldn't even edit anything besides the text! You basically have no control after spending $500 on a premade template. You have to email them and wait for days to even get anything done.
Also, don't bother calling them. They let it go straight to voicemail... The main problem with style agent, is that their layouts make their sites almost impossible to optimize for search engines because their layouts and home pages are not content friendly.
After months and months no one will ever find your site! I even tried to hire a consultant to optimize my site, and he returned my money after he found out it was a style agent layout. If you are a realtor just starting or one whose seasoned, i suggest you try another website developer if you want a website that will actually produce quality leads. A pretty site isn't worth it if no one can find it!
