Total Scam

They did not deliver at all per their own contract. We were told that our $5000 would get us 1-2 appointments every week. This did not happen. Nothing really happened. They connected us with for sale by owner people way out of our coverage area and relied on us to get an appointment. They are denying us a refund and telling us that we do not know what we are doing. We are a two agent team that does 75-100 deals every year and have 165 5-star reviews. We were totally scammed. Do not work with these people or you will be very sorry.

After signing a contract and sending off my $5,000 payment I learned that this service is illegal in my state. The local real estate commission forbids any non-Idaho licensed sales person from calling consumers on the behalf of a licensed sales person for the purpose of setting appointments, or providing any assistance with procuring prospects.

"It is under (369) d: any person who directly or indirectly engages in, directs or takes any part in the procuring of prospects....is considered brokering and to broker in Idaho, you must have an Idaho license."

I learned this before the Listing Referral Group made a single call on my behalf and informed them immediately.

No refund has been provided and no services were ever rendered.

DO NOT SIGN UP

They are a total scam and rip off of your money. They give you people to contact to ask about their services and they must be paid to either lie or are actually people who work for their company. They promise to refund your money but they never respond to you once you have signed up. They give you bogus referrals and then complain that you aren't following through. They are complete liars. I have filed a report with the BBB but have not heard back from them.

NOT sure why I couldn't find these pages before signing up because I checked for reviews and none of these showed up before.

BUYER BEWARE!!!

LRG is a total scam.

I had the same experience as all above. No results - very few leads sent to me in the past 12 months. They won't refund my money. I am out the same $5,000 as everyone else. There is another person who has started a suit and I am emailing him today. ALSO, the owner of LRG is the husband of a real estate agent!!! She should be ashamed of herself for letting him do this.

Joined 3-4 months ago - NO listings and terrible appointments

I have gone on two appointments. One was for a major land development which was in its beginning stages of being submitted to the city and the sellers wanted 600% more than what they paid for it just a few years ago - very unrealistic. The other was for a condo which was a FSBO as well, only the owner was a licensed and practicing Realtor herself. I played every card I had on these people - the marketing, the reduced liability, etc. Nothing stuck. As for the other two appointments - they never happened. One shut me down before I was able to see her in person and the other just didn't return my calls. A waste of money. The only thing I did right was I paid 2500 instead of 5k, because I work on a team and my partner was not buying it. I wished I would have listened to him. This place is a total SCAM. Any realtor they give you as a reference is one that works in a soft market where people are open to speaking to someone new and there's little competition. Beware - they will never give you a reference that works in LA, SF, NY, etc.

I was hesitiant about moving forward initially and all of this is documented. Cheryl reasured me by providing satisfied customer numbers and emails that have worked with them in the past. I contacted them all and they had good things to say and the overall Idea made sense for me to increase my business by having a call center make outbound calls and book potential lisitng appointments. After 6 months per the contract a refund should be issued, now they refuse to respond.

Total SCAM -

This is the biggest scam I have ever seen. They promised 1-2 leads a week and in 9 months we had about 11 leads, all were FSBO's who we could look up ourselves. There was never an expired or withdrawn listing. The few they sent were not receptive. We do over 150 transactions a year so we do know what we are doing. This company has not sent a lead since September of 2018 and it is now May of 2019. No return emails and no return calls. The BBB has them with an "F" rating. Do not fall for their scam. They are disgusting!

Sham

Guys this is clearly a sham company. I was taken in as well and they denied a refund. This could easily be a class action lawsuit. Has anyone engaged an attorney or thought about coming together to get an attorney to start a class action lawsuit?

Class action

We are in the same boat, out $5000 on empty promises and nothing viable sent. I have a legal team involved. We’ve sent one demand letter thus far, no to avail. The secondary steps are now in effect as well. I’m happy to discuss a class action with anyone who would like.

spring of 2018... they started "working for me" I paid them and i complained nicely at first of the fact that they aren't following mike ferry systems that is what they told me.... they set up fake appointments for me and then refused to reimburse me or continue when I finally said I have a list off all the people that told me they didn't set up an appointment etc...

Total scam

I too got scammed by this company. Two appointments set in 1 year with FSBOs that had told them that they would not list. Now they are not returning my calls or answering emails. Do not give these folks your money.

This company would provide leads to agents and guarantee to close within four months. I've been with them for over a year, and they have yet to provide a valid lead. They don't even answer any of my emails or calls now. It's been over three months, and they have yet to respond.

When I requested a refund, they asked that I wait six months for my refund. Once the six months expired, they said I was not qualified for the refund because I did not follow up continuously. This is not true; I've followed up on the leads and made the calls. I have continued waiting for them to send me leads, hoping I could get one and make my money back. Still trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

But they have yet to give me one lead since 6/2022, nor respond to any of my calls or emails. This is a scam!

I TOO WAS SCAMMED

I have been trying to get my money back from LRG for months and of course, they have a reason not to refund anything to me. Their plan is useless - they only get FSBOs as leads and I could do that very easily. They do not deliver what they say they will which is 1-2 leads per week and if questioned about this, they say that my "market" is to blame, not them. I want to join forces to get my money back.

Bad Company, Bad Business, Potential Scam

I really really wish I would've listened to my logic on this one and never signed up wasting my hard earned commission. The promises they made in writing were not kept. I spoke to an agent in Texas and and agent in Arizona who apparently were having success with them. They promised me 1-2 appointments per week. I have had 9 "appointments" in one year. Really, these were just desperate FSBO's who were willing to talk to anyone they thought had a buyer. They were 100% FSBO's - no expired listings (another lie). All 9 already had picked an agent if they decided to list which they had solidified in a long term relationship long before I ever spoke to them. These were not babe in the woods FSBO's who just didn't know a Realtor. Run fast and far away. There are good lead companies out there, but, this is not one of them. You will work really hard and waste your time.

Awful, A Total Scam

We have had exactly the same issue. After 1.5 years and not one even close appointment. Most, like I have read are FSBO listings and almost no expired. They have not sent me 1 lead since Aug 2019, almost 6 months and the leads prior to that were a total waste. Clients telling explicitly do not cLl unless you have a buyer. When we called them they were rude. We are out $5000 and like many others the contract fives you a refund after 6 month but none was ever received. We have sent an attorney letter and they have not answered that as well.

TOTALLY SCAMMED

"joined about 4 months ago. I called past "referrals" and realtors who said they had worked with them in the past and were totally happy with them. Only a few leads.... now NO response. I am asking for a refund but now I get no response. Does anyone know who actually runs owns this Company? Totally scammed... Thank God I only gave them $1500...

  • Sep 24, 2019

Beware

They are harassing me by constantly calling me every week after I have asked them to stop multiple times. I block their number and they call me from another number. When I ask to talk to their manager I am either hung up on or spoken rudely to. Horrible!!!
