I am a newcomer to this site, but I got my business started with Housevalues/Justlisted. Of course, I jumped in BIG. I immediately bought about 40 leads a month. It is a numbers game! I think Housevalues/Justlisted doesn't work so well when an agent just puts his or her toe in the water with 3-6 leads a month.
My experience is this: most agents are not willing to be internet agents - responding quickly, carrying a PDA, loving the on-line experience. So they don't work it and the monthly price becomes horrible overhead. And they are committed for a year. It can be painful. These agents are probably "Looking For Leads in all the wrong places."
I immersed myself into the system - which is the value of Housevalues and Justlisted. I did all the tutorials, listened to some of the Mastermind calls to learn from other agents and worked the system. I followed up and mailed to them. I really didn't do the personal contact like really successful agents did.
My results: I received 4.5 times return on Housevalues (GCI was 4.5 x what I invested), 3 times return on Justlisted. I had one of the first verifiable sales from Homepages.com. I was a beta customer. But over a year, it was negative return so I dropped it.
My goal for lead generation investment is this: Every $1 invested should return $10 GCI to me. Without a DOUBT, Housevalues and Justlisted taught me the basics of working internet leads. Now, I am able to branch out and figure out how to attract traffic to my website and set up my own internet lead processing systems!
