Lead Networks and Pay Per lead services, do they work?  Are they worth the cost?  Does anyone here subsribe to them and how do I pick one that will work?  There are many that keep e-mailing and calling me and I do not know anyone who uses them, so if someone here does, let me know.  Thanks

HomeGains pay per click services cost me $1350 a month.  They typically mean an extra 1-2 closings a month as well.  Excellent investment if you ask me.

I see no need for them.

I am as busy as I can be with my own propsecting and it is very successful. I have tried lead generators and for the most par the clinets were poorly informed of the market, had unrealistic expectations and were somewhere between just looking and buying in 18 months.

I do belong to Buffani and that is a cost so perhaps I just pay in another form... albeit a very successful (for me) system!

AgentPoint (Versacom) only charges $3.00 a lead IF you accept it. HOWEVER, I joined (they eagerly took my $$$) and that was 2 months ago...no leads, no response when I try to get ahold of them.  Other companies charge you a heap, but the leads are usually from people who are already hooked up with a Realtor.

Patricia,

It all depends upon your market. Lead aggregators do not promise good leads, simply leads. I've tried HomeGain, Service Magic (realestate.com), House Values, and several other companies. I was getting 1-2 deals per year, which paid for the cost. 

For the price, you could afford a very nice website with lead capture forms buit in. I don't want to plug any specific site, but there are several high end sites to choose from.

Hi, Patricia -

Who knows!  I guess the bottom line is that there aren't any guarantees, and the quality of your follow-up will impact results.  My best lead generation, other than the old-fashioned low-tech activities, have come from my current website.  But again, it all boils down to what you do with those leads when you get them - and a little luck.

I signed up for that agentpoint as well and 2 months later not even a squeak from them or their lead generators.  Very disappointed with them. I would like to hear from someone who has had luck with agentpoint and their pay as you go lead genorator systems.

I received a lot of leads from HomeGain when I had a z57 website (that is their lead generator), but I get better quality leads from my AgentImage website.  I've also gotten a couple of leads from AR, believe it or not.  The value of lead generators depends on so many factors, including the monthly cost vs. conversion rate... One answer doesn't really apply to all.

VersaCom Technologies' Agent Point, formally known as ClearCom Media's Agent Select program does not work. It never has. They take your $48 (formally $49) fee per zip code and you will never recieve leads. 

 

If you have a problem with the program call Bob at 561-688-6400....or heck...call him on his cellphone which is 561-201-5037

 

He should be careful how he handles employees. It all comes back around.

I had trouble with Agent Point, too, but they were very good at getting me a refund back, though.  They asked if I would mind working with them again in the future after some improvements and I told them I wouldn't mind at all.

 Is AgentPoint out of business?  Website not working.  Phone disconnected.  No reply to emails.  Anyone know?

Patricia, we tried out lead generators and it did not work. Joining our local Chamber of Commerce and participating there has given us back much more than the time and money we invest.

I, too, am wondering about AgentPoint.  I was promised a 60 day money back guarantee, so I tried it.  No leads.  Now I am trying to get a refund before my 60 days and all phone numbers and including the website are  disconnected.  Any one have a suggestion?

I paid $96.00 to Versacom / Agentpoint and never got one lead. I called Bob on his cell phone and he finally sent me a refund check for my $96.00. I depoisited it and it bounced. My next call is to the Attorney General's office. Hopefully those scam artists will get caught.

It is always frustrating to see bogus lead generation companies take advantage of real estate professionals. My advice to real estate professionals is to talk with a client who uses the lead generation company. We generate tons of leads a month for real estate professionals across the nation. When new clients are skeptical of our services we always give them the phone number of one of our clients so they can personally talk with someone who uses our service.

Best of luch for you agents and your quest for real estate leads.
