Ryan Parini and his staff hounded me for weeks. I finally agreed, last April to sign up for the service, but only with the caveat that I could cancel in 6 months if unhappy, instead of being stuck in anything for a year. They agreed, and sent me the forms to fill out. The print outs I made from screen shots of those documents in April are clear. I also kept notes of the entire sales call, terms, conditions, what I was supposed to get, what I was supposed to do, etc.
During the time that I was with them, they double billed me for months. Only when I caught it did they finally agree to refund me the double charges. The leads I was getting were people who looked up their home values on various online home calculators. When I did manage to finally reach two of them, they told me that they'd been inundated with calls and emails. Which meant to me that my 'exclusive' territory zip codes were anything BUT exclusive, despite the sales pitch and the way the lead territories are labled. Otherwise, these consumers wouldn't tell me that they'd been hounded for days on end, and even weeks after looking up their home value.
Lastly, I marked on my calendar the exact date that would be the 6 month mark, to call in and cancel, if I was unhappy. They refused to cancel the agreement, and said I have a one year contract. The screen shots I have from April do not match the 'copies' they have on my profile.... Which means, someone altered them in the interim. I have spent some time this morning calling my family attorney, the Secretary of States office, filling out paperwork with them, and an IC3 complaint, as well as contacting my credit card company for support.
Essentially, this company lied to me. They supplied me with leads that were not as they advertised 'exclusive territories', they refused to honor their own agreement with me, based on my screen shot print outs it seems clear they altered the document on their end, and they double billed me as long as they could get away with it.
I find them to be dishonest, and I believe they have committed fraud against me. I am pursuing that in other arenas, which just goes to show you other Realtors that they are willing to force agents like us to go to the nuclear level to get relief from their fraudulent tactics. They hope we are too busy to notice the double billing, too dumb to care about the not-exclusive territory leads, and too ignorant to print out screen shots of documents so they alter them, and try to extort money from us, later.
The data is innaccurate to the point that it is funny. 50 of the addresses were active realtors and loan officers. You've got to be kidding me.
WASTE OF MONEY. Their "algorithm" can fit on a napkin and provides weak data that sets the agent up to fail. Not to mention they are a total ripoff of SmartZip. Don't be fooled by their slick sales pitch! It's total bull.
Offrs is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with! I had high hopes. My team and I spent 100's of hours and thousands of dollars. We asked for help repeatly, submitted tickets when round and round and couldn't get answers. The only time we would recieve a response was when I/we would post somthing negative. Here's just one example of their "data" over 100 people in my offrs farm had the same phone number!!!!
I know whatever program you choose to use, you must work it. I have had success with ALL the other programs I have tried, I tried offrs' becuase I was hoping for a higher ROI ., All I got was fustration and pissed off "sellers"
Met them at a conference and was a bit skeptical but it's panned out. I've used other lead services in the past and frankly there's no surefire data out there, so bad leads here and there wasn't something that stopped me from working it. I agree that the interface was clunky - drove me nuts trying to find pages within pages. They updated it a few months ago and it's definitely better. Love the customizable tag features. I haven't used the direct mail service, but we have sent out a ton of letters with great results. Best advice is to ask a lot of questions up front. Most agents I've met just aren't ready for scaling their lead pipeline and don't really have the systems in place to work them. Been great for us though. Just keep calling.

Realtors and Brokers. Beware of this company. Their product is subpar and works in very limited areas. They tell you that they can get telphone numbers and email addresses for every address in your farm area. However, they cannot. Also, the product is very cumbersome and difficult to use. I think I have signed in a total of 3 times and asked to cancel and they want to hold me to their lousy contract. Run from this company! Check out Active Rain. The reports of others getting scammed by them are all over Active Rain!

One of the best products on the market. They offer a lot of value if you are looking for a way to generate seller listings
