More HomeGain advice - Jan. 19, 2007

I have used HomeGain in the past for buyer leads. At that time my main area was a smaller beach front town in Florida. I received a ton of leads during the market boom for 2003-2004, but in 2005 and 2006 the leads fell off to only a few per month. I cancelled the service after that because it just wasn't giving me the ROI (return on investment), especially since it cost min of $250/month.

When I got leads (and this is the key for it to work), I worked them hard, wrote them back the same day, and contacted them at least 3 more times before giving up. You will get bogus leads, with fake phone numbers and emails, and they do count against you -- they have no filter for bad emails. Overall my experience was good, but if you do not get more than a few leads per month, it is not worth the money. If you live in a major metropolis, it might work better, but it all comes down on how much time and effort you put into working the lead. Hope this helps!
