I have been a member of Homegain for 8 years. I've probably had about 4 sales/listings thru them. They only get a referral fee, if the lead they provided actually results in a sale. I was on another site, where if you responded to any lead they sent you, you were automatically charged $29.00 per lead.... and if you didn't get it, oh well. I found out later, that that same lead went out to 30 otheragents, and of course who ever answered the lead first was usually the "lucky" oone and all 29 other agents that also responded, got charged the $29.00 fee none the less. I dropped that fast. Most lead generators are like that you pay for the lead, wether it actually generates a sale or not.
