After interviewing several realtors to sell our home in Sun Lakes located in Banning, California, I hired Jessica Angle-Davis because of her expertise and honesty in the real estate market. She did not come in telling me what she thought our home was valued before viewing the property as other agents did. Instead she looked the property over including taking note of the many upgrades we had. After being on the market for 5 days, she presented an offer less than our asking price yet she negotiated a sales price we were comfortable with. With an unheard of 12 day escrow, Jessica helped above and beyond to make sure the escrow close went smoothly and timely for us as well as her buyer.
I'd like to thank Tim & Jenni Stoops for all their hard work in getting our first family home of 30 years on the market and sold in the first 3 months and helping us find and buy our new home.
We could not have asked for a more reliable, honest, determined, helpful, or more patient agents. They answered all questions we had, showed us dozens of houses and helped us with finding finance officer to walk us through the whole procedure.
We highly recommend this agency and these two agents.
Again... Thank you
Sincerely,
Doug & Toni Burgess

You think you're contracting the listing agent but instead your email and phone go out to several buyer agents I wrote the privacy dept to remove my Info and they said thought luck it was already sent to a bunch of realtors. Their site is also clunky compared to the others in this space. Stay away from this deceptive site.
Recently, I connected with Beth Pretty, to sell my home, which was the best realtor that I could have ever had. She had a comprehensive approach to the process, and I felt so comfortable with each step, knowing she was in control. She navigated every component, including the online marketing, staging, referrals for the settlement lawyer and termite inspector, hiring contractors for repairs, negotiating with the buyer, etc. with precision, and she made it look easy! Everyone on her team was great! I am still blown away by how it all came together, with no hiccups!
Beth is efficient, skillful and experienced! She is the Tom Brady and Michael Jordan of real estate - simply the best!
You paid someone for this update? Realtor.com used to be the best site for home searches. A buyer could tailor the search in multiple ways to avoid wasting time. Now it's a mess! Instead of attracting potential buyers, you're turning them off.
Better setup than Zillow, not even close. Now they are playing games with tabs. Crime tab was totally deleted. Took away all the transparency. Try bringing up flood zones and watch them run. That's a deal saver and waiting for them to delete that next.
You would think In a sellers market they would take all precautions for buyers. Especially with buyers relocating for areas they know.
BUYER BEWARE
I called number to get help with renting a home out of state. Very nice lady answered the phone helpful no issue until... The transfer. This trashy dude whom I could not even understand his name starts by answering the phone on speaker, can't understand the guy at all, as I informed him several times. Horrible business ethics. Moral of the story... Don't let trash run your business. I had horrible car salesmen in my life but this guy was a pinpoint of trash. Good job whomever hired this dude good job. You got trash. Btw I did my deal 25 min on fb marketplace.
I am sick to death of real estate sites with crappy photos. Realtor.com... Does not have an accurate search engine. You can type in zip code, name of town and state and it will show you all the surrounding towns but NOT where you want to buy a house. My 98 year old parents are in Boulder, CO. But Realtor is INCAPABLE of showing me ONLY homes for sale in Boulder. Realtor is showing me homes an hour or more away. Until they can do an exact location search and stop adding bedrooms to my criteria, when I say 2 to 3 bedrooms don't show me 5 bedrooms or 7 bedrooms. Real Estate sites are horribly inaccurate. realtor.com is exceptionally horrible.
As a new lender I purchased a lead package from Realtor. These are shared leads so every person gets bombarded with calls. Most of mine come in with poor credit scores and I am pretty sure that quicken gets them before everyone else, because when I call and actually get through, they are always talking to quicken already. HUGE waste of money.
They apparently are very expensive to advertise on because they charge 100 to 75 dollars each lead their agents receive. When calling to speak to someone about this information a lady name Kathy or Cathy had no clue. So another number was called, then they transferred me to guess who of advertising and marketing on Realtor.com, yes you guessed right Kathy or Cathy. Don't believe me, well call her for yourself, and ask her how much it costs to advertise on the site. Her number is *******200.
Realtor.com has a great manager spoke to Alexander and he was very compassionate about my concerns I can tell he is a family man as well quick to handle everything smoothly can't imagine why the bad reviews but there's always lower class realtors out there keep out the bad seeds!
I have been paying realtor.com for leads as a Real Estate Agent for the last few months. So far it produces consumers who already have agents and/or consumers who are not pre-approved, many of whom are in the "lookey-loo" stage. Additionally, these consumers use you on realtor.com's site as their personal admin [ all-the while you are paying to get good leads from Realtor.com]. Zillow far surpasses realtor.com as a lead gen system albeit significantly more costly, but effective. I'm not happy but the jury is still out.
Don't ever let realtor.com sign you up with any their "lead" program without a signed authorization form. They sent you an email as their contract. Whether you agree to or receive the email, your credit card is hijacked.
Their customer service is terrible. Don't expect any quick response from them. Usually one or two weeks before hearing back from them. At the mean time, you are still paying the service you have never asked for.
Stay away from this company! Very low or no good leads!
Wow, al the 5 star reviews are fakes. They are not real people who have used realtor.com. When I read them it is almost like they hired someone to say nice things about them. The person they hired has never bought a home and that is why they all sounds so generic with no specific details.
The issue: Realtor.com promises to deliver buyer leads, instead they deliver people looking to buy trailer homes or mobile homes and NOT home buyers. This is a bait and switch company that locks you into a 6 month contract based on lies and misleading information.
I figured to try this as I'm open minded to how to gain new leads. What I ended up with were leads that were looking all over the country based on their search patterns. In just about 9 months and six thousand dollars later no leads ever resulted in a meeting. The email addresses were changed, and in some cases calls were only answered by a voice mail. I attempted to cancel the service, and the company said I had a year contract. However, if a company does not deliver on what they have a agreed this is a breach. I terminated one of my debit cards which was charged, and tow months later they began to bill another debit card which I used for a smaller portion without any authorization. Realtors beware of this lead providing service.
Waste of money... don't do it. You will be locked into a contract. Customer service agents are nice, however, no results are no results. I have 6+ listings at all time... haven't gotten one inquiry ever... been on for months. Take the money and buy tangible marketing materials (i. E. postcards, take a prospect to lunch, send a thank you gift to past clients.)
One star is too high! Before the update this app WAS the leader with its many features and options NOW it is complete garbage. If you want to choose certain house features to search by, you must use the website. The app no longer offers that option. I am so angry and confused why a company would purposely sabotage themselves. Get a clue realtor.com.
The utility of Realtor.com as an effective tool for any real estate professional has taken a nosedive. It is actually painful to look at now and just terrible to utilize. They have regulated themselves back to amateur status and I will look elsewhere for basic listings. This is quite possibly the worst IT upgrade I've ever witnessed.
Buyer beware: I have 3 bad reviews from when I was new and I've been trying to make them go down on the list to bring my rating up with more 5 star reviews. Yesterday morning I had 15 reviews rating me at 4.7 stars (should be 5 stars with 15 reviews). Yesterday I also had trouble getting off a lead zip code waiting list. I was transferred more than 3 times and on hold forever. No dept is accountable for anything; they just transfer the call. I was irritated and sent a frank email regarding my experience and my rating went down to 4.5 stars the next day. I've gotten 3 leads under $200,000 in a market with an average sales price of $550,000 in the 3 months I've been "getting" leads. Unfortunately, this program is a huge let down and pretty much a waste of my money. Customer service is either incompetent or is trained to make cancelling anything impossible. I don't get it.
We tried realtor.com a couple times looking for a vacation home. All I can say is the same thing I said to them: they wasted my time and I'll never use them again. If I call about a property tell me up front if it's under contract or pending. DON'T PLAY WITH ME. This is infuriating. And the agent you're connected to jumps right in to try and hook you into working with him or her on other properties.
Ugh. Never ever again
Answer: Don't do it! Total scam. They don't allow you to cancel, and don't deliver what they promise. I've wasted $1500 and they want to stick me for another $4500! I signed up for an area with $800k average, but ALL of the leads are for $50 mobile homes. COMPLETE SCAM!
Answer: You can file a claim with the BBB. I am in the process of looking for an attorney. Small claims court is always an option.
Answer: Just be sure you are dealing with a realtor. Do not send any money to anybody at a moneygram account. Just make sure it is a realtor you are working with. Because there are scams out there that ask you to send money pretend to be owner etc. you can always ask for license number and go to trec website and check to see if number is real. Hope that helps.
Answer: I hope that if enough of us post about Realtor.com scamming, defrauding our industry we can stop them, scammed myself, never again, worst customer service I have ever encountered.
Realtor.com has a rating of 1.6 stars from 719 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Realtor.com most frequently mention customer service, credit card and zip code. Realtor.com ranks 1204th among Real Estate sites.
