Homegain.com or Reply.com?

I do not use either and will revisit to see if you get some comments that we both can use.

I've never used either one but, like you, most of the comments I've heard from other agents have been negative.

Homegain has had some good results.  I did not like Reply.  The sales person mis-lead me.  Fortunately, an admin person helped me get out the program.

I have been with HomeGain since its inception in 1998 (I think). Since they were bought by Reply the business model has changed and the results are very disappointing. Prior to Reply, HomeGain Agent Evaluator was set up so that the consumer could remain anonymous and receive proposals from as many agents as were signed up to work in their ZIP codes of interest (whether buyers or sellers). Also, the site was set up to direct real potential clients to request proposals. If I submitted a proposal I knew there was about a 75% chance that it would be read by the consumer. Now, especially on the seller side, most of the leads are tire kickers. Of the last 15 or so proposals I submitted, only one was viewed by the potential seller and that was after I called him. The system no longer is structured to give some strength to the leads--they are just folks browsing the real estate sites. Where seller leads once were people actually intending to sell, now at best the consumers are trying to decide about re-financing. We never had to answer the question of "curious about the value of my home." Now, that's about all we get. Providing the contact information for the seller is not helpful since it is often bogus and overall the changes Reply has made to HomeGain have reduced the site to just another lead generator. Very sad. It was a unique and excellent program before Reply got ahold of it.
