Anyone heard of GetMyHomesValue.com?
Yes sorry to say I have dealt with them, no there were no closed deals.
All of their "leads" were people who just wanted a free service. They
wanted to get their homes value from a real estate expert and not
pay a darn thing for it.
When I called to cancel my contract with the company I asked what
they were going to pay me for doing their business for them?
Choose who you sign up with carefully, and if you don't like
giving away free service, charge the consumer for it. We as real estate
professionals work for money. Our time is never free, once you start
giving away services where do you draw the line. I did this by telling
the person calling from Get my homes value.com. That yes I would give
them a free evaluation, if they would just sign a listing agreement with
me for 6mos to a year.
If they are serious about selling their house they will sign, if they just
want a free service they will not. If they also do not want a face to face meeting,
this also means they just want a free service. I started charging a flat fee if
someone called from that certain .com. and wanted a value on their home.
Maybe you should do the same thing. But the leads you will get are often
times pretty cold ones. They do not want to pay anything for a service that
was advertised for free. I really don't like that company. Talk to your broker
about good companies to work for. Most of the times they give great
advice. My broker told me to ask what the .com would give to me, what will
it do for you.
The answers might amaze you

| I signed up with GetMyHomesValue.com. They guaranteed me 2-10 "scrubbed" and screened leads per month. I got one weak lead in two months time. When I tried to cancel my month to month agreement, they made me pay an additional month or they would send it to collections. Terrible experience. I have worked with HouseValues and gotten several sales from it. Don't waste your time and money on these guys...rip off!!! |

I was interested in trying this lead generation program and made it very clear that I wanted to try it for one month to see the results.
They charged my credit card over the phone and then when I went to access the website, since it is an internet based platform, they asked me to 'click to accept' some terms with which I was not in agreement with. 1) They wanted me to accept a recurring charge to my credit card, and 2) They wanted me to agree to a Cancellation/Refund Policy they I did not agree with. It was very difficult dealing with them. I have disputed the $345 charge to my credit card and hope to get the charge reversed, and I have not accessed the service at all! (due to the fact that one cannot access the service without 'click to accept'ing their terms.
This is a sham business organization. I have much better things to do with my time than this (posting complaints) and resolving issues with someone misrepresenting their services, having already spent more than 2 hours on the phone trying to resolve the issue. UGH!
Beware! |

I am in the process of disputing a charge against my credit card by this organization. I cancelled according to their cancellation policy, was offered a reduced fee if I would stay. I did not accept their offer, and guess what, they charged my credit card for the next month.
These people talk a great game, but within two weeks I had "verified" leads from people that did not want to sell or buy a home. They were looking for a free evaluation. This is not lead generation, it is providing misinformation to the public and the real estate agent who is looking to generate income during this terrible market is taken for a ride.
I will not give them the satisfaction of writing off the additional $199.00 they charged my credit card. I also posted a complaint with The Squeaky Wheel (thesqueakywheel.com). They are bombarding Get My Homes Value with requests for information. This is the $5.00 I spent in a long time. Check it out. |

Thankyou everyone for your comments. They contacted me today and tried to sell me on this and I decided to research it a little first and I'm so glad I found your comments about it being a rip off. I was ripped off badly from HomeValues.com and didn't want it to happen again, so thank you! I will not be calling them back to join! |

Ditto to all of the above for bringing to light this company's downsides.
I'm glad I did a little more research as the service sounded very very interesting. The one thing that set the red light off in my head was the two highest performing zip codes were available in my area. I asked if they could provide me the names of the people that might have had the zip codes before and they hemed and hawed about it.
Thanks again and all the best!
