I listed my mobile home in the local paper. I received a call from National Multi List Service about them listing my mobile home on the internet. They took my information and later I received a call from Linda. She told me the service was $189. I told her I had been looking at other sites that were much cheaper. She told me that if my mobile home didn't sell quickly she would list in multiple areas and market it aggressively. That that is what they do and they do it well. She also said that they had contacts in Mississippi and were getting calls all the time for mobile homes and that they would travel great distances to buy them and take them back to the Gulf for displaced people to live in and that if I would list my mobile home with them, she would tell them when they called that my home was available and could be moved. She also said that they would provide financing for buyers if needed and that she would send me a credit application to keep on hand for potential buyers.
I never got one call or email that came from this service. I never got a credit application from them, not even when I requested another one after they sent me a bill of sale that was supposed to also be sent with the credit app. When I called, Linda was busy. When I emailed, she would email that she relisted the mobile home in places like Lake Tahoe. I continuously told her that there probably weren't many people who live in Lake Tahoe that would be interested in a $10,000 mobile home in Tucson. She never listed it in more than two cities at a time and as far as I could tell did nothing to try to sell my mobile home. I got much better response from websites that only cost $35 to $50 than I did from this ripoff. Almost everything she told me was a lie. It was a wasted $189.
They called me every week for four or five weeks trying to sell me their service and when I would tell them that I was already signed up and had no response, they would tell me that that wasn't their department and that they would tell Linda. I would email Linda and she would tell me she had relisted the mobile home in two other cities. She never did the aggressive marketing she told me she would do.
