After authorizing a $1.00 charge for a one-week trial membership, I noticed a charge for $49.60 on my bank statement 2 weeks after the one week trial membership ended. I cancelled today and was told that the authorization for full membership is in the agreement for the trial membership! This is trickery and now I see reviews of others who say the listings are fake and altered and from those who have been charged $49.60 again even after cancellation. It's enough to make you sick and disgusted. Will be contacting the BBB next.

All I can say is RUN..
February 22, 2024

I called to cancel my subscription. Before I did this I read the reviews. The first thing I did was called my bank and blocked my debit card and ordered a new one. When i called this company I spoke with a very nice lady and asked her to cancel my membership. She said she was going to send me A $20.00 coupon and cancel my subscription. I explained to her I wanted my subscription cancelled again. She understood. Before we hung up she quickly told me she lowered to subscription to $19.99 a month. I explain to the lady on the phone I had already blocked my card and I did not give her authorization to ATTEMPT TO withdraw ANY additional money out of my account. My advice to anyone here is once you give them your credit card/debit card number block it because they will stop at nothing to charge it. I moved all my money to another account and notified the bank just in case they managed to get into my account. I believe these people work on commission only and will stop at NOTHING to gain access to your account.

I joined this site for a trial, and couldn't log back on in order to view or cancel my membership. When I told them, I was sent a form to print and fill out, too see if maybe I would be able to get a refund. That was only after I filed a complaint with another site like this. Use this site only if you like giving away your money.

STAY AWAY
June 8, 2016

This company is Bull$#*!.
You can't even understand the people talking to you and all the noise in the back ground. It's so ridiculous I Called wanting some info on how to rent a home and what I have to do and the first question they asked me was if I have a credit card if so they needed to number to charge me 1$ then I could be able to find listings of homes for rent to own and went online couldn't get in for 1 week and they turned around charged my card 49.60 to start a new trial when I couldn't even get into the so called free trail and wouldn't give me my money back and said it will take up to 10 days to cancel my $#*!. So I ended up paying 100$ for nothing. Best bet just go threw a real estate agent! Stay away from company's that don't have your same area code.

Bait and switch
December 17, 2018

Don't do it. It's a bait and switch scam. Rto gets paid to transfer calls to a credit repair agency. They don't own or rent anything. It's a telemarketing agency, and they treat their employees like $#*!. I used to work in their call center. Even their employee recruiting is bait and switch.

Buyer beware
May 22, 2015

If you are stupid enough to go to their site, do not give them your phone number, they will just keep calling you six or seven times a day, beware, do not ever give them your credit or debit card number, you cannot stop them from charging you!

Scam
November 20, 2020

I have been connected with this company for a month, they said in order to find a house I had to be connected to Lexington law for credit repair in which this company took money from my account. I have yet to have any services provided and have tried to contact this rent to own company in which have had no success. I now believe that this is a scam.

SCAMMERS!
February 8, 2022

Complete SCAM. I didn't pay and clicked out but they keep calling me and I told them to stop and that I was at work but she was like just wait- we can get ypou a house! And transferred me to some Lexington Law guy. He told me he will fix my credit and I told him there is nothing wrong with my credit OR my score- just that I didn't have money for a downpayment on a house. He said VERY RUDELY " well there must be something wrong with your credit or they would not have sent you to me" so I hung up and blocked them.

They took $40/no for the last 3 months to find out that rent to own properties don't really exist on this site! Every realtor called saying not rent to town even though the site says that they are. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! And they refuse to take NO AND CANCEL for an option and harass you into discount pkgs. DONT BOTHER TO SIGN UP! ITS A SCAM. AND I AM REPORTING THIS TO THE BBB AS WELL! SCAMMERS FOR YOUR MONEY IS THE REAL NAME OF THIS COMPANY!
