Why any person in real estate should NOT use Real Estate Client Referrals.
1. They lied. I purchased the $325 plan on 08/18/2006 which was explained
to me by Ms Betty that the leads would be charged to me at $65.00 a piece
for a total of $325. She also had a hot lead ready to purchase a $325k
property now. With some reservation I opted to give this a try and
preceeded to contact the lead that was given. To date which today is Sept
14th 2006 almost a month to date after this HOT lead was given have yet to
actually receive any response from this so called client.
Ok so after many many many calls into the customer service dept and tying
to contact this ever so wonderful Ms Betty who never answers her phone
(352) 256-6264, am told that "we need to give it time", "perhaps you should
send her a letter", "try calling from different phones", "try driving by
the address of the client and leave a business card in the door" the list
goes on and on. The best I thought was maybe they are still on vacation.
So today I called the customer service dept after having the same luck
with another "referral" passed on to me on the 3rd of Sept 2006. Again
today is the 14th. I don't know about you but I surely don't want to keep
calling people 3 or 4 times a few emails then that's it. Anyone ready and
willing to do business would have called you by now.
I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY CALLS FROM ANY CLIENTS
Getting back to todays call into Real Estate Client Referrals. I spoke
with Tammie Auras , Customer Service Manager 1-406-329-7657. We spoke about
the challenges I faced in which not one call was returned by any lead they
had passed forward. I explained that I was waiting for a return call from
the supervisor I had spoken with about a week or so ago and haven't heard
back fom her either. I was informed that I needed to continue trying to
contact the leads given. They were going to continue sending emails and
leaving voice messages however their company has NO POLICY as to time frame
in which THEY consider a lead DEAD. I had inquired as to whether or not
after 30 days, 60 days, 90 days if the client doesn't respond back to them
when would I be refunded my monies back for these dead leads? She replied
again they have NO TIME FRAME POLICY.
I at this point, extremely frustrated with Real Estate Client Referrals
completely, not being able to get through to that "wonderful" sales person
Betty who so prepped me by saying how well scrubbed these leads were, how
she insisted that the $400+ plan was SO MUCH BETTER because your price per
lead is dropped from $65. Ms Tammie Auras was was so extremely rude on the
phone and yet was SO kind to refund me the $127 out of $325 that I paid
because they don't refund you the full amount you pay for leads. Refunds
are made by prorating according to the last level of completion, since
there are different price structures depending on the prepaid amount This
information is so I am told found in the contract that we all sign. I
replied to Tammie Auras that I never signed a contract. She stated oh yes,
you all do. It is an electronic signature in which states that the refund
would be pro rated based on levels : "Refunds are made by prorating
according to the last level of completion, since there are different price structures depending on the prepaid amount" again no page or paragraph or statement by ANY rep or sales person ever stated what or how this was going to be pro rated.
As a REALTOR, we have taken an oath of honesty, integrity and treat people
with compassion. I feel in my opinion that this company has NOT done so.
RealEstateClientReferrals.com in my opinion does not live up to what it
says nor do I feel that they are delivering the level of service that we as
realtors whould expect.

Are they advertising in your area? Have you seen TV ads or newspaper ads or do they have a website that comes up on top for searches in your area? From what I saw your website comes up better than any of the generator sites.
None of these lead generating companies advertise in my area. How can these companies produce leads if they are not out there prospecting for leads? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thank you for taking the time to post this information. I too was contacted by Betty today and I was excited, but still a little leery about it. So I decided to research the company before I made any decisions to fork over $495 for my guaranteed 12 leads in my "exclusive area". I told her I'd call her back after an hour when I got a chance to discuss it with my partner. Boy am I glad I did my research. I guess you gotta follow your gut instict.....if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!
Good luck to you and thanks again for your posting.

| These folks at real estate client referrals are the bottom of the barrel. I have not had the pleasure of sending them one dime...Yet, they call me, my office and our agents non stop. They found one of my private numbers online somewhere, one that has been DNC registered for over 3 years. I asked them not to call on the number as it was a DNC registered number. They called again....after 5 calls and 5 requests, they (Steve) said that DNC rules did not apply to Montana. I reported to the Attorney General in Montana his "Company" (Real Estate Client Referrals - an LLC with Jeremiah Thompson as the registered agent )and to the FTC just in case they are mistaken. According to the Montana Attorney General, their DNC laws are stricter than Fed. Oh well. If anyone would like to call the owner of this company direct, his PUBLISHED phone number is (406) 862-5573. I am sure he would appreciate the same professional courtesy that his company offers. |

He did a good sales pitch.....said I wanted to check them out on the internet and also speak w/broker/owner of the company. Google provided the info I needed to make a quick, informed decision....Thanks but no thanks......Can't believe all the recent postings to this site....well, on second thought, I can believe all the postings........that's the world we live in today!!

I had a feeling they were one of these companies so I googled the phone number before calling them back about the "1.2 million buyer referral" they had for me.

To whom it may concern...
I wanted to reply to this post and let everyone know that we have made some serious changes to our policies and personnel to avoid this problem in the future.
First off -- We had numerous complaints about the CS department and how agents were treated prior to my invovement in the company. We have replaced the entire department and are currently working with the BBB to recover our lost status with them. All complaints about our service are responded to professionally and promptly with the utmost attention to detail and concern for both our clients and our agents.
Secondly -- We have instigated a 90-day money back guarantee for any purchase with our company as well as providing packages of referrals where we guarantee closings! We guarantee you will make money with us at that level or your get to use the service for free until you do. Every referral is validated by phone and guaranteed accurate or we will replace that referral with another one at no additional charge.
Thirdly -- If anyone wishes to speak with me about this post or any of the concerns about it, please contact Clint Miller directly at 800-977-7058 and he would be happy to discuss the changes made. Also, please check us out online at www.realestateclientreferrals.com/news or www.realestateclientreferrals.com/testimonials

Someone from that number called me today ( i googled the number)and just flat out asked me if I work with buyers. Didn't even give her name. She was just throwing questions out at me. I had no idea who this person was and why she was asking so many questions so when I questioned her about the purpose of her call, she got rude with me and told me she would call another agent. It sounds like friendly Betty. |

I'm glad I DIDN'T read this post before I tried the service! I signed up for 16 leads (10 leads for $995 +6 leads free). In my first 6 leads over the last 4 weeks, I have taken 1 listing and 1 sale and another buyer in the works. A couple of the leads I couldn't connect with and they very politely gave me credit for another lead.
I am so amazed at the quality of leads, that I am reinvesting some of the money I am making on these first 2 deals, so I expanded my exclusive territory and signed up for 50 leads + 40 for $4990 today.
I already have a strong business with $10 mil in business last year. I am looking forward to no less than an additional 12 transactions this year from this source, but my guess is that we will end up with closer to 20 additional transactions.
If I were you, I would interview people who are successfully using this system. I was tipped to it by another agent out of my area. I then went about finding other agents from my company around the country who are using the system. All I heard was HIGH praise. I couldn't find a bad review until now.
Best of luck! |

| I have been using RECR for a little over 1 year now. The leads are the BEST that i have ever purchased. I have tried a few other 'lead generation 'companies and the leads were trash but RECR leads are VERIFIED and the clients are glad when i call them to help them with their home search. Not everything will work for everybody, so i think that some of the above comments are out of line. Most agents do not know how to work with internet leads, you have to work them to get results, the results i've gotten have been wonderful. I'm very happy i didn't read these comments before i signed up with RECR. My very first client turned into a closing in less that 4 weeks and since then i've had 3 other closings from RECRs leads. So I have nothing but praise for RECR and i am thankful that RECR called me that day to sign me up. |

I have worked with RECR since October 2007 and I am just amazed at some of the commnets I have read. I have received help and good leads from Betty and she is anything but rude.
I think the main reason some struggle with the leads given is that working with internet leads is very different from working face to face with clients or referrals from past clients. You must keep trying to make contact and then you will have success you have worked for.

| I am really surprised how many realtors have SO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS THAT THEY CAN WRITE ALL OF THESE COMMENTS. I have been working with RECR for 14 months and have closed 3 deals, RECR keeps me busy. One of my coworkers told me about this website and all the complaints against RECR as she was looking for a referral company to get some business, she asked me if that is the service i use. She will be signing up for RECR as soon as her area becomes available...because of my success with the their referrals. I am thinking that most of the realtors that have posted on this site have never actually tried the service they probably just got a phone call from a RECR representative like i did and decided that it wasn't good for them. Successful realtors do not have time to waste being critical about anything....so i suggest to the above realtors to try RECR and start making some money instead of wasting time voicing your frustration with this current market on the internet . |

Being the curious type, I was reading through the string of comments and noticed one thing that I found interesting. The critical comments are very quick to list their market, names, etc. and the ones with the great praise are all anonymous.
Surely you don't think the company found this link and decided they needed to do some damage control. |

I have to agree with majority of the posts here. Real Estate Client Referrals is a SCAM!!!
I was stupid enough to sign up for this serivice and have not received any quality leads. The leads that I did receive which by the way was all in the 90 day period and then after that not too much going on, are all waste of time.
Why am I on this post and spending my time writting here, well maybe I am sitting here waiting for the services that I am suppose to have from RECR to kick in. Don't get me wrong I am doing other things as well to market myself and my personal website actually produces more quality leads and closings then this specialty service does, and that is with no work at all with my personal site in trying to improve the page rankings!!
A better policy would be to allow the client to get out of the contract and get a full refund at any point of time. The money that we give to the company is our money and basically being taken out on a lead by lead basis. You should be able to withdrawl the remainder out if you choose to do so. |

Oh by the way check out Clint Active Rain account and his points on his service are inconsistent.
Point one - No long term contract - Cancel anytime
Last point - 90 day no question ask money back guarantee
These two contradict each other and how can you cancel anytime but not get your money back. Or atleast the unused portion!!
I can see the 90 day no question ask providing a full refund but once you are in there is not way to get your unused portion back.
Also, in the contract there is no paragraph that states how you can cancel anytime and what is required. |

Just signed up for RECR.com in April 2008. I was charged $500 for 10 leads with no success! Initially I was given a flurry of leads with very low quality. I guess that the flurry of leads was meant to excite me!
I called on April 25th to adjust my program and received no new leads through 05/19/2008.
This is really a quality company!! I think everyone should sign up and give $500.00 away.
I would like to personally thank RECR.com because I only lost $500 and will never use another client referral system every again. Realtors take warning all client referral systems are a waste of money! GET YOUR LEADS ON YOUR OWN!

This company is taking advantage of REALTORS. They promise to that you can get your money back but do not follow through. I tried to talk with supervisors but could get nowhere. Before I signed on I check with some of their testimonials, wish I would have done a goole search instead.
THIS COMPANY IS BAD NEWS. DO NOT USE THEM UNLESS YOU HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY TO THROW DOWN THE DRAIN. |

For all of you who are not satisfied with RECR just like me please send your complaints to the BBB
http://spokane.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=70&bbb=1256&firm=27000314
I have filed a complaint with the BBB and RECR has until June 4th to respond and to-date they have not responded. If you are like me frustrated with their service or lack of service please jump on the bandwagon and lets all get the appropriate government agencies involved.
RECR promised to build more leads for me a few weeks ago and guess what, not one lead has come in since. Like I have said in previous posts, my personal website has generated more leads for me with no additional SEO work done by me or anyone else.
RECR is a JOKE!!!

| I found that Real Estate Client referrals is a bad source of leads. I have follw up with the leads and few know that someone mainly a realtor would be calling them to follow-up. They are grabbing leads from foreclosure sites and home search sites then selling them of to us. They represent a good lead service source on the phone then drop you cold without support. I have trying to get back the money I spent on March 19 2008 for over 30 days by speaking with Terry Braun, Amber in customer service and Gary on 06-19-2008. I found that the first purchase of 150 leads for $2000 and a replacement lead for bad contacts within a 7 day period is not true. They are quick to take your money and take it twice. I was billed on 06-16-2008 again for $2477.00 without authorization. I think that they need to refund everybodys money and keep their promise. TAKE NOTICE THAT THEY DEDUCT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION AND NO NOTICE SO CHECK YOUR STATEMENTS AND LOOKOUT USUALLY 90DAY AFTERS . PLEASE TAKE AND SPREAD THE WORD. |

I got an email from Kara at RECR today - very nice tone, telling me she is in Montana and "Mark" signed up on one of her websites and needs an agent in "teeny, tiny" Greentown, IN.
Since it's not the normal referral-type message I get, I decided to check them out and found this posting and others. As I suspected, something's rotten in Montana!
I find it interesting that all of a sudden there are positive comments posted - many without full names or any names at all. If you google the 2-3 who used last names, you aren't going to find any real estate related results, except this blog.
No matter whether there were glowing reviews of RECR or not, I won't use any of the lead "aggregators". |

I just got off the phone with "David" from Montana who sent me a hot lead on activerain.com. After his explanations and sales pitch I told him that since I had has a very bad experience with house.com (do not ever use these people either, they are horrible) I was going to do some research on his company and he could call me back. He did not like that at all, saying he wouldn't be available again for one week, to which I replied, "C'mon David, that is the oldest sales pitch in the book". He did not like the fact that I did not sign up right on the stop, for obvious reasons.
I cannot wait to see if he calls me tomorrow.
I googled all the names of the people who left good comments on this, and not one of them are Realtors, or they are the worse Realtors in the US, not to have one hit coming up for their name.....
Try and Google Jan Mc Knight and my favorite, Jim Pattroni , who has sold 10 million so far this year but doesn't have a website.
This would be pretty funny, but really, it isn't, they are taking advantage of Realtors.
For those of us who are on Activerain, we need to make sure that this information is being passed to other Realtors because this company is using the activerain log on their page, to give themselves credibility.
I am sure that there a lot of good honest Realtors getting screwed by the "Davids" of Real Estate Client Referrals.
Referrals are very important to me and II would be honored to work with a refreral in the Miami- Fort Lauderdale areas

RECR trying to sell services to UNLICENSED Sales Agents!?!! - Sep. 12, 2008 |
| Posted by Lauri |
| I think all of you licensed realtors will find this interesting. I just got a call from Shawn Schrader asking me to sign up for this service. The interesting twist is that I work for a national NEW HOME Builder and am NOT a licensed realtor. When I explained that to him he put me on hold for a minute and came back on saying that it was OK, I could still join the service and get leads. When I asked him why would I want leads when I could not be on a legal contractual document between a buyer and seller he again put me on hold. He came back and said that is was still OK because there were no contracts involved. OH PLEASE, give me a BREAK! Total SCAM!!! They will obviously try to get their money any way they can...even from someone who could NEVER benefit from their SO-CALLED service!! I say...RUN, RUN, RUN!! Don't send these people a dime!! If you have already, chalk it up as lesson learned. |

| Posted by David in Las Vegas |
DO NOT, DO NOT USE RECR!!!!! If you want to be SCAMMED, just go ahead and give them your credit card number! I got a call from RECR about 4 months ago and foolishly signed up for the service. Although the girl that called, i remember her name to be Melissa....told me on the phone that IT WAS ONLY $99.00 per lead and my credit card was only going to be charged $99.00 that day because she had 1 lead for me....my credit card was charged the full amount of $2179.00 that day and put into my RECR account. I was sent 4 leads that day (for a total of $396.00 deducted from my RECR account) and 3 of of the leads were about 7 - 8 days old. WHAT A SCAM!!! I also noticed that she was trying hard to not let me see the website. I kept asking her about seeing their supposed money back guarantee in writing but she kept talking and trying to direct my attention elsewhere. Another thing is that when i called some of the buyers they said nobody had spoken to them before i called, although Melissa told me that they screen all the leads, and all these buyers want is a 'FREE list of foreclosures', because that is what they were promised when they signed up on RECR's website. One of the buyers said that she signed up on the website www.freelistforclosures.com and another one told me that he signed up on www.forclosedgovernmenthomes.com . This is what the buyers are wanting....they do not want to speak to a realtor!!! The strange thing is that when i get the leads in my inbox it says "this buyer has requested a free list of properties from "just-listed-homes.com" ANOTHER BIG LIE FROM THE PEOPLE IN MISSOULA, MONTANA.
I have checked with the BBB and they told me that Real Estate Client Referrals has a lot of negative feedback from other realtors. I suggest you call them before signing up for this service.
I am so happy that other realtors have taken time out to post on this website...we're all looking out for each other since we know how hard we work in this business to have people like RECR scam us like this.

Well, my business partner Ben Officer just got a call from a "Steve" from RECR. Steve gave the big sales pitch. Had a "referral' named "Rene" that wanted to buy in the small town of Morinville, 15 km north of Edmonton.He pushed hard for us to register. I told him we will think about it and look at our advertising budget. Of course, me being the e-PRO and Ben also being tech savvy, we quickly logged into Realtown and did a search & found this thread. I can't wait for tomorrow for"Steve" to call back. Should be good fun to say, "NO WAY". Oh yes, just to finish, as soon as Ben hung up his cell, my rang. It was Steve cold calling and I was next on his list .ROFL!

Thank you all who wrote to warn us of this company. You just saved me a bundle of money I didn't have to throw away. However, just to be fair, I talked with a well known and experienced Realtor in another area of my city, and he said the leads are less than 50% quality, and you really have to work them, but he has had 4-5 closings and has renewed his contract 3 times. However, enough of you have had bad experiences to keep me away. Thnaks again. |

Reply.com misrepresents their services and the leads are not valid. I contacted the leads sent me immediately and could not get a return call or email..they were represented as expecting a call from me. They also promise things verbally that they do not live up to. You will be charged no matter how fast you try to cancel. I was told I could cancel without charge. |

Thank You for all of your feedback fellow Realtors.! I also did a search and could not find any information on the founder and called back the "main" line and got the same person JP who had given me his direct line and told me he had a lead in CT for 320k for 99.00, I cannot verify any of the nice postings about the company either. All seems very sketchy. I did a search for Jim Pattronni and he is NOT a Realtor-verifing your post Larry. It is also very coincidental that they have someone in the company that goes by JP!! Good Luck and Best Wishes! |

Have any of you had any experience with the new deals they offer, where they guarantee 2 closings? i. e. the leads will keep coming (good or bad) until you've had the 2 closings.
My gut feelings and what I rread above tell me to not even talk with them... but if this guarantee works, how can you go wrong?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

RE: last thread. Trust your gut.
5 bad leads or 100 bad leads, if they are all lousy and do not produce, you have spent good marketing money for bad. Sounds like you will be better off investing those dollars on a mailing campaign or an add.
Good luck to all in 2009!

These referral companies are all the same --THEY DO NOT WORK!

RE: DO NOT USE -- Real Estate Client Referrals - Jan. 12, 2009 |
| Posted by Humbly Learned my Lesson |
I pride myself on the fact that my success is not based on the type of high pressure tactics that Real Estate Client Referrals telephone sales reps are trained to spew (in my case his name was Mitch Waylett, Referral Agent with www.freerealestateclientreferrals.com and www.just-listed-homes.com on 08-16-08) - There was a qualified lead waiting for me to contact her as soon as possible, and if I did not sign up before close of day she would be lost and looking for another Realtor. When I requested time to research the company I was told that RECR receives at least 3-5 leads a month that are turned away in my area regularly. I was guided to the testimonials of other agents, better business logos on their site and repeatedly told about a success story in "my neck of the woods" (over 600kms away - but still in Canada, so I guess that's my neck of the woods) who was making $5M off RECR referrals alone!
I am genuinely embarrassed that I fell for the "money back guarantee" mantra that was repeatedly explained in the most pleasant manner until I was eased into believing that RECR could be trusted. When the "qualified lead" that needed a REALTOR today, repeatedly didn't answer her phone or respond to my emails for a week, I launched a request for refund on her account and a "replacement lead" was granted. Today, I question if the lead ever did exist and interpret the "replacement referral" as another tactic to make me trust RECR, because for the next two months I heard absolutely NOTHING from them. The 3-5 leads that Mitch didn't guarantee, but said he'd be willing to bank on (they'd been there for the previous few months at least), weren't forwarded to me - the exclusive RECR agent for my district.
When I first attempted to get my money refunded with Gary Taylor, Customer Service Representative with RECR on 10-14-08 he effectively gave me the runaround, until he finally mentioned that he is not authorized to process refunds and passed my account file on to Sarah Bennet, Customer Service with RECR on 12-05-08. Either unaware of the ongoing situation, or using another tactic, she tried to upsell me more referrals (which up to this point had not existed) as I continued to explain I was frustrated and no longer comfortable working with RECR and wanted just my refund. Finally on 01-05-09 I received a partial refund from the Customer Service Manager who explained because one of the referrals that I had paid for had already been debitted from my account I could not be refunded in full. Of course, she was talking about the referral that I disputed in the first week and had no trouble getting RECR to replace it on my account. My response to her was that I had never benefitted from that referral and expected it to be refunded as well. Her response to that was to LAUGH.
If you are considering RECR as your lead generation source HEED THIS WARNING FELLOW SALES PROFESSIONALS:
Do your research before agreeing to the fine print! I have only posted what I know to be true - "money back guarantee" is a false quote - As an RECR customer you will not receive your money back, you will only be laughed at by Amber Dwigans - Customer Service Manager. Also note, that although most of my contact was with Real Estate Client Referrals, they own the rights to many different websites and their sheeps hide in the clothing of many different lambs. |

I wish I knew about this site before I agreed to the slick sales pitch from Steve of RECR last fall. He, of course, promised a full refund if not satisifed; then, when I was signing up, stayed on the phone with me while I "initialed" their agreement, not giving me time to thoroughly read through it. I quickly recognized the leads-if you want to call them that- were not at all qualified as promised by Steve, and were returned. I canceled the agreement and got a partial refund. I lost $198 for which I received absolutely nothing of value. Hard lesson learned. Its this type of sales person and company that give sales reps a bad name.. |

For anyone that needs to have someone fight for them to get FULL refunds from this or any other company that they feel defrauded them please call me at 714 287-4486 or email me at Tom@IwantTom.com for info on very inexpensive prepaid legal services ($26.00 per month covers a multitude of issues) .
When I run into a situation like this I just phone up my provider law firm (highest rating in the country) and turn it over to them. Then I use my free time to locate more leads. There is a business opportunity associated with this service for those interested. I do it part time along side my real estate consulting. An extra $500.00 - $2000.00 per month helps and I'm already talking to people anyway. Thanks for your time. |

Hello all,
I have been working for recr off and on for five years. This company is not perfect. We have made mistkakes in the past and will probably make mistakes in the future. I can sleep very well at night, knowing I have never mislead or lied to anyone agent about our service. Not all of my, over 200 agents in my network are always happy. They do, however, have my home phone number aswell as my direct line at the office and i'm not afraid to give it out because, no matter the issue, I always try to make it right with them.
Feel free to call me

I agree, they promised me my money back within 90 days and when I wanted it back (since all 8 leads I recieved did not return any phonecalls or emails) they refused. They said they would replace the bad leads... so I got more bad leads! They are a waste of money. I am a successful Realtor and am ashamed of myself for getting suckered into this scam. |

Regarding the post from Cliff Williams with the company Real Estate Client Referrals.. he is the one who promised me I would get MY MONEY BACK in 90 days if dissatisfied with the program. However, their policy is that they replace leads with new leads. Which would be great if ANY of the leads were decent or actally returned calls and emails. This is a bad company with unethical practices. Don't buy into it. I will be notifying NAR as well as my local boards and real estate commissions to warn other Realtors. |

Thanks for your feedback. Real estate times are tough and we know right now anything promising leads are very tempting. I agree with on comment that all the positive comments on here seem to be anonymous. I too got the call and was sceptical but before comitting said I would check them out first. I asked if they had an agent in my area I could call and they said because of privacy they could not give me their number. Well as a Realtor who has to abide by the privacy act and laws I can appreciate that and this sounds genuine, however I am intelligent enough at reading between the lines too.
If anyone in British Columbia has had a good experience with them, dont hesitate to contact me. I would like to hear from you (remember this does not apply to anoymous calls or telelmarketers - Remember I am on the NDCL) This is the only way I will be convinced this system works, however somehow I dont expect a flood of calls...lol

Thanks, Everyone! I was approached by Betty today and almost fell for the whole program but thought I'd better check on it first.
Per what Donna (above) wrote.....If anyone, who is an active Realtor or Broker who has had a GOOD experience with these people, let us know. I really don't care what part of the country the good news comes from...just that you aren't anonymous and are actually a Realtor. Might be interesting to hear from some Buyers who have used their services too.
Thanks again for your help!! Good luck this year! Should be a good one!! J |

Unfortunately, I googled RECR- the website they use vs Real Estate Client Referrals and am so sorry I didn't see this. I signed up 4/16/09and have been trying to get a refund ever since. Within 15 minutes of signing up- I knew it was a scam. Their leads were inaccurate and not as promised. I immediately contacted them via phone and email. I have talked with numerous people. None of them are responsive. Their money back guaranteed is as much of a scam as they are. Don't make the same mistake I did. I am working with my credit card company to receive my refund- but it has been such a hassle. I'm totally embarassed that I actually fell for their scam. |

Just got a call as well and googled it. After his sales pitch I politely declined his offer. And, trying for a second pitch I told him that I wasn't interested. Before he hung up on me he replied, " Imagine that".
LOL. Jerk. Now for sure I am going to tell real estate agents and Realtors about this company.
I get leads through our inhouse (Weichert ) leadnetwork and some of them don't come through. Imagine paying up front and not closing a sale or listing.
I am glad that I didn't give them my credit card info.
This website is awesome!

We were promised a HOT lead last year, so my wife signed up for the service. She contacted the lead, and the lead had 1)Never heard of RECR, and 2) was not in the market for the $700K home. My wife callled back complained, and cancelled, and put a stop payment on the transaction.
Today we were contacted by a collections company that is threatening to hammer our credit if we don't pay their $199 non refundable fee, so my wife gave the CC info. I think we'll put a stop on that as well as we haven't received anything for our money. |

Shawn Walker was the person who called me.. After I said no he proceeded to e-mail threatening e-mails to me stating he could hurt my business with his local contacts in my area. You would be shocked! Tell you what, for a sales company this is no way to get business. I would run from this one!! I found that the company name was Real Estate Client Referrals (RECR) LLC someone named Clint Miller either runs or is one of their top sales people too. I also found another # 800-977-7058. This is supposed to be their customer service number but no one ever answered. Imagine that!! |

The above response is from a real estate agent by the name of Billy Howell in the Broward county Fl. First of all Billy reffered to me as a "him" but i am infact a woman .I contacted him by phone yesterday because I researched "Top agents" in the Broward county,I ran across Mr.Howells profile and felt he would be a motivated hardworking agent to represent a good friend of mine wanting to buy in west Hollywood.I was sadly mistaken, he was rude and extremely unprofessional, if he treats other potential buyers the way he treated me he will gain a negative reputation on his own.I pride myself in in my loyalty and honesty in all the that i do.I treat everyone with the respect that i would like to receive.I work for RE CR and i maintain my personal morals,I'm in the business of helping people,I love meeting and interacting with agents all around the US,I have met some wonderful people who i consider friends and i want nothing more then to make sure they have success in their business.I appreciate the fact that all the above agents have taken the time to research out company, it would be foolish otherwise.Like with any kind of service there will always be those aren't satisfied with the product, it happens it's unfortunately not a perfect world, but they are protected by 90 day money back guarantee, It's in the contract and we do honor that.This is how i see it, you can drink protein muscle building shakes all day but unless you do the workout your not going to see results(trust me i tried) You can have a buyer ready to buy yesterday but unless your willing and motivated to do what your best at your not going to get any anywhere,you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink it.For all you serious self motivated agents please contact me personally 406-532-3709 i would love to get to know you and help you succeed!thank you for your time |

To whom it may concern...
I wanted to reply to this post and let everyone know that we have made some serious changes to our policies and personnel to avoid this problem in the future.
First off -- We had numerous complaints about the CS department and how agents were treated prior to my invovement in the company. We have replaced the entire department and are currently working with the BBB to recover our lost status with them. All complaints about our service are responded to professionally and promptly with the utmost attention to detail and concern for both our clients and our agents.

Clint is one of the biggest scams they have there.. You realtors would do best if you pass the word quickly to stay away from this scamming outfit...all the above people mentioned would sell these "leads" and the csr would have to clean it up it wasnt far..my boyfriend worked there and quit soon after he found out what they were about.. So pleaseplease dont listen to Clint's B.S. |

Wow, I just went through all the comments. I have to admit, I'm shocked by a lot of them. I've been with RECR almost a year now and haven't had a bit of trouble. When my leads aren't answering the phones or responding, they are replaced. Most leads I've received knew my name when I called and several even contacted me first.
You all said you wanted a real agent that was searchable. Here I am.
Google "Matt Stigliano" or "rerockstar".
I work in San Antonio, Texas with RE/MAX Access.
I doubt my appearance will change anyone's mind, but since everyone seemed to be clamoring for an agent, I thought I'd step up to the plate.
As for Clint, I know him personally as he's my rep at the company. When I have trouble, I give him a call and it's solved. No hassle, no sweat...taken care of.
I wish everyone the best of luck. |

Just got a call from Robert Wall. Sounds EXACTLY like everyone else's call. Hot lead, limited time offer, money back guarantee, yadda-yadda-yadda. EXcept, he told me he has a relocation lead. I am certified in Relocations, so it caught me offguard. A new spin on the game, so watch for that also.
Thank goodness I was at my computer, Googled them and found this. It's hard enough out there right now without people trying to sell you a "pig in a poke".

I just had a horrible experience with them as well. They said you could reject any lead, and when I received the first one (weeks AFTER I kept requesting leads from them) it wasn't viable. When I tried to reject it, they said I could not. When I tried to cancel the service, they resisted, and the credit card company would not reverse the charge. At that point, I contacted RECR again, and their response was:
"On 10 -28 -09 your credit card company upheld your chargeback in our favor we are finished with you."
Let us ALL be finished with them./ |

I just received this letter from RECR:
My name is Brian with Real Estate Client Referrals, a national referral network and agent directory. I have some territories that just became available in Anchorage. I am getting several clients for these areas who want to buy or sell property. I am looking for an agent to brand in these territories. This way after a client calls in and I have verified that they are qualified, and ready, I can forward them to you immediately. This is an exclusive opportunity as I only work with one agent per territory and guarantee closings. If you do not handle Anchorage, I might have the area that you do handle available.
If you would like further information, please call me at 406-532-3713. Thank you for your time.
Funny... I haven't been a licensed agent for almost 4 years! They've got some HOT leads exclusively for me though!

I just received a message from Dennis at (406) 329-7652 that he had a buyer pre-approved for $320,000 looking for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in the Portland area. He left his number as (406) 532-3756.
I may be in my first year of business, but I like information. I did reverse number searches and saw that the calls came from unlisted numbers in Missoula, MT. I then Googled the numbers, which led me to this site, along with several others that share the same negative comments and warnings.
NAR has been good about promoting agents' physical safety, but I am glad we are able to provide each other with valuable warnings.
If anyone has any legitimate questions about real estate in the Portland, OR area, please visit my site or send an email. I would leave my number, but that would be too ironic for this post. |

I was just called by a nice lady from RECR, didn't get her name, but she has a client who is getting a divorce in a county I cover and she will give me the lead for $99.00. She never mentioned a contract and said it would be $99.00 per lead. As I was burned by a lead generation company a couple of years ago, I told her I would like more information and she referred me to the website. I still didn't feel comfortable, so went searching for scam info on this company and ran into you guys. Thanks for the headsup and I will certainly know more in the morning when she calls me back. Thanks! |
