Just say not to lead sellers like eperks, housevalues.com, homegain.com, and homes.com they are a waist of your time and money. The best leads you can get are the ones you generate yourself.

Amen to that. I signed up right in the beginning. Not one lead. So I asked for the money back and had to jump through a bunch of hoops. They did send me a certificate that said I am eligible to get my refund…that they will pay me in DECEMBER 2008!!!! WHAT??? They keep my money for as long as they please after they determine I should be eligible for a refund??? What the heck business is this? It’ll probably be bankrupt by then, and it won’t matter anyway. That’s what I figure.

I met all their “visable” requirements, even when I had the feeling they were taking me for a ride. I continued fulfilling my end of the deal. At one point they said they had emailed me, but I never got it. I gave them another address to email and still didnt get that. I emailed them and they said they didnt get. BULL!! They want to use that to say I didnt have a valid email for prospects to contact me. After 8 months of paying over $2000 to them and not one response, I wanted my 100% money back guarantee. Now there is no communication with them. Well, I dont give up that easy. Im not done yet, but they will soon be, if not already.

Paying bloggers for publicity may not have been the best way to promote themselves…

They will be ok as long as they provide good services. From what I read on the web, San Francisco agents rave about eperks.

I have never dealt with such incompetence and dishonesty! Don’t waste your money…trust me! 7 months not a single viable lead…
Tried to “cancel at anytime”…still being billed 2 months later…
What happened to the Super Bowl Ad? (and yes I was promised)
Oh and the “money back guarantee” that is forever changing…trust me you wont meet the requirements to qualify…

These type of services are a big waste of money. I guess it should come as no surprise though that a number of Realtors continue to believe this will be a viable part of thier business if they sign up. NO THANKS!

Their logo looks very much like the one used by GoDaddy. (a large internet name registrar).

At a previous incarnation, I also sold “zipcodes”. It was a lucrative job (for the owner of the biz): We took a map, carved it up into any configuration we wanted, developed some kind of a fee-based business opportunity that sounded like a project that has any substance it it, placed small classified ads in the paper (this was before the internet), and built a boiler room that fielded the calls. People would call from “Helena Montana” f. ex. and could buy the right for that “whole” area. One deal sold “exclusive snack routes” for $10K, $20K & $40K. Similar scams sold even less tangible programs.
