Order Number : [protected] I am a new agent contacted by sales rep Chris Valiando. He told me I could cancel at anytime when I had reservations about cost and quality. 3 wks in and this is not for me. Now I can't get him on the line. Last call, someone named Nick said "Chris said he's in a meeting" Really? emailed him and no response. HELP
He lied to you. You have 3 days to cancel. I've just submitted a complaint about Realtor.com to the Attorney General's office in CA.
https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-business-or-company
I signed up to Realtor.com Aug.2015 - BIG MISTAKE! Said I'd receive 4 leads a month from my chosen zipcode. 12 months later, I've never received 4 leads from my zip code in a month. Only months I received 4 leads were when they came from zipcodes I didn't ask for. Rep didn't mention that in his sales pitch.
I've tried repeatedly during the last 5 months to get out of the contract with no success. Bottom line is the take your money and don't deliver the leads. Realtor.com DOES NOT give refunds or release people from contracts. Doesn't matter if they don't deliver what you agreed to. If you cancel early, they still bill your card.
That is why I've complained to the CA Attorney General. I've found several complaints, they mostly say the same thing. Realtor.com takes my money and doesn't deliver the leads.
Address i used for Realtor.com in complaint is it's corporate headquarters:
3315 Scott Blvd., Santa Clara, CA 95054
I complained to BBB.org yesterday. I suggest you contact Realtor.com. Email the support department. Keep records of communication; names, dates and conversation. If they refuse to cancel, complain to BBB.org. Realtor.com has closed 68 complaints in the last month. Hope that helps!
I am going through this right now. I call...someone named Kyle is supposed t call back...he hasnt. In June I called and they gave me a "break" for june and july..now in Aug, the fees are starting up again...I have called twice this week. I never received a "service contract" they emailed it to an old email address. Today, after I requested one be sent to my regular email. they assured me it was sent...that was 3 hrs ago..no email. So is there a person to contact?
when I called Realtor.com to sign up, I asked if I was going to be under contract and if so, how long my contract was going to be for, they said, there are NO contracts and you can cancel at anytime. I called today trying to cancel and they told me I was on a 12 month contract which I don't have any record of (nor did I signed anything) and the guy was so rude and almost called me a liar... He said "so you're saying that my sales rep told you that you can cancel at any time? what if I call him right now and he says he didn't say that?" I was like ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?, you're calling me a liar?, and he even said, well, do whatever you want Gabby, we are not canceling the service, so do what's best for you...
I'm canceling the payments thru my credit card and I they will send me alerts if they try to charge my credit card again. Also, I'm putting a complain thru BBB.org .. I can't believe they get away with this!
Oh my God you just said VERBATIM what they told me. She called me a dishonest person for saying that she told me I could cancel! This is ridiculous please ANYONE WHO HAS HAS THIS ISSUE, EMAIL ME... Phancyhomes@gmail.com, this is ridiculous.
Need to cancel myself did you block them on credit card and did that work?
Nice chatting with you Gabby. Appreciate your willingness to contribute to the case against Realtor.com
Did they ever try to recollect funds? It says they charge 1% per month on bills not paid. I'm also considering canceling and disputing with my credit card but fear it will accumulate and be sent to collections.
did they report to collections? i changed my card but they keep send me junk leads n am 2 monthsfee
Same thing here. I have been told that I can cancel at any time. I haven't signed anything, but they keep telling me that I have contract for 12th months. I have been told that if I cancel payments on my credit cards, they will send it to collection agencies. I don't know what to do. They threatened me, yelled at me, were very rude. I don't know what is the truth now. Its a scam
Where specifically can I file a complaint? bbb.org doesn't recognize Realtor.com - thank you!
Try Move, Inc. Try contacting me also as I am currently involved in legal action against them and may be able to help.
I'm trying to get out of my contract too since they have only delivered 5 leads in the first three months. Not was I was promised by the sales rep at all.
So any news on the legal action!I'm in a situation of that matter as well.They won't let me out of my contract even though I went through surgery and can't work
I just had a crazy experience with them on the Move, inc side. The salespeople are independent contractors. I am looking to buy mortgage leads just for myself and they said I could only buy leads for the entire state and needed a 6 month commitment. $3600 a month. No returns on leads that are fake. absolute nonsense. Just went through this with Zillow/Trulia. Terrible leads. Lied about the quality. Blamed the number of reviews on my profile for the quality of the leads... I just signed up with them, how would I have real reviews on there? They wanted me to spend $15, 000 to get enough leads to make a real determination on how good they are. I cancelled and I got the runaround with 5 different people all blaming the number of reviews. They cancelled but I ended up losing alot of money with what was in reserves that they kept and very poor leads, almost as bad as cold calling random numbers.
did calling credit card help with Realtor.com? They will not let me out of my contract
Instant message me your contact information.
Can you tell me where this has ended up for you? I am 1 month in to a 6 month contract (although I never signed anything) and it is horrible. I am thinking about cancelling my credit card but I don't want to be sent to collections. Any insight would be so great. Thank you,
Hi,
I haven’t canceled my credit card yet as I’m afraid my credit will be tarnished. I’m waiting for another month, then I’m canceling so I’ll only have 3 months left on the contract. I haven’t found a solid solution in doing this.
Complete scam. Trying to cancel also. When I asked about when do I get to review and sign the contract, sales rep Anthony says "there's no contract." Of course their tune changes later when you try to cancel and they said it's some type of implied consent contract even if you never had a chance to review and agree to the terms before supposedly implicitly entering into the contract. There is no rationale for the 12 months except the only way they can make money is by tricking people to pay way more money than is justified since they can't deliver anything close to the marketing pitch. Also the contract is so lopsided it's a joke--you agree to pay for nothing and they agree to produce nothing and you apparently have no remedy.
What a joke! Leads were completely worthless. Could never ever reach anybody about those $50k mobile homes or otherwise told flat out they already have brokers and/or they had no idea what they were filling out.
If you would like to contribute your experience, please let me know!
So are you a former employee of Realtor.com? How do you suggest we opt out? Any advice? I don't know how anyone can say you have a contract without you actually having a document that you signed with them. I have nothing. Just them debiting my account monthly. I'm done.

Same exact problem. They do not let me cancel and keep on sending me leads. If they are so good they should have people in line signing up for their service instead of trying to keep customers who are very unhappy with their service. I will file with BBB also.

Good evening,
My name is Efrain, I am a licensed realtor out of NYC. I subscribed earlier this month for several zip codes and it has been god awful.
I instinctively knew it was time to cancel as this was a subscription that under delivered on promises. Apparently I have told I am in a 12 month contract of which I never signed or reviewed. This is after being told by sales rep Randy, that I can cancel at anytime because "they understand that life changes". I got into it exactly as others have expressed on this board.
Is there a real way to resolve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I have been told that I am in a 12 month contract****

Thanks.
Cancel or change your credit cards from which you are paying to Realtor. If they can't charge your credit card they can't charge you period. They have no contract so they can't really send you to collection agency..
@arkada did you do this successfully? did they send you to collections? I never signed a contract, but they sent me one that I don't believe I saw until recently when I started researching this.
I have it in writing that I was promised 40 leads. They also misrepresented because I asked how many agents would be sharing space and he said two. He led me to believe it would just be myself and one other person. Wrong, 100 plus agents in the zip code. Many many zip codes in the same city.
In my experience, you will go months without a lead and one random holiday weekend you will get 25. Its a joke
I am in the same boat. Keep trying to cancel but get the contract talk. Has anyone changed cards and if so did they send you to collections?
I’ve been fighting with them for 4 months and same problem with canceling. I don’t want to tarnish my credit report if I cancel payment on credit card. Anyone else do this without any incident?
Everyone on this thread, Is there anyone that can help? I'm of course having the same issues as all of you. They promised me they only send the lead to 2 agents, but I have had more than a few tell me they got calls from at least 6 different brokerages from only one request for information.Did anyone have any success cancelling their card, and did they send you to collections? How do we get out of this B.S.? Anyone who can, Please Help.
I canceled my credit card, so far I haven’t had any issues.
Thank you @Christinealex ! When did you cancel it? I assume if they were going to send you to collections, they would have been sending you invoices for non-payment for about 3 months then collections. Have you heard from them at all since canceling your card? Thank you for the info!
I haven’t heard from them yet as I just canceled my credit card only last month.
Since I legally didn’t sign a contract I feel they have nothing to come after me for.
Literally in the same situation. I even canceled an auto-renewal and they STILL renewed and charged me. Not only are the leads more expensive this time around, its been almost a month and they still haven't refunded me which they told me they would since I contacted them immediately after receiving the invoice. I had signed up for a new zip code back in June and have only received TWO leads. Now, after reading all this I don't want to do business with them at all! I never signed anything and the sales rep made it sound like if it didn't work out for me that I could cancel. How is this not a bigger deal? I feel like the public needs to know. They're being scammed as well if you think about it. I can't tell you how many times I've been chewed out because of the number of agents calling them after they request more information on a listing.
@christinealex how did it plan out am going on my 3month since I changed my card too but still sending me junk leads n as many emails to cancel they never have did they ever sent u to collections?
what can we do? I am in the same boat. Ridiculous leads. This is a complete scam! will they send me to collections if i cancel my credit card? But there is NO signed contract. What can be done? This is affecting my health...i am stressed out, anxious and causing me financial distress. Please advise what to do with cancelling realtor.com
What has been the result of people cancelling the Credit Cards or Blocking them from Charges? How can they get to your Credit if they dont have your social etc?
I’m now in the same situation just took the leads 7 days ago, then fell down flight of stairs and broke my right wrist. Dr said I will not be able to drive, write etc for a few months since bad break. Realtor.com wouldn’t help me at all. Did any of you get sent to collections? Not sure how they could since no contract, or SSN. Let me know. Thanks.
Bad leads. Very few leads and they are horrible. I want to cancel or will go to the BBB to lodge a formal complaint.
Horrible leads. Customer service has promised legit leads. All have been horrible. I need to cancel. I am wasting my money.
