Major Liars!
April 27, 2025

They lied to get to use my debit card for $1.00 to do a credit check! Never told me they were secretly enrolling me in a credit monitoring program for a recurring monthly charge. I went off and told my bank about and they refunded my money and blocked all correspondence with their credit monitoring program. Also, when I tried to contact them a few times, they acted as if I was a nuisance. They're right, I am a nuisance when it comes to my money and how it's spent!

The rip people off.
April 4, 2025

It was only one dollar for seven days. They charged my debit card $49.68 plus 1.00 dollar. They lie to the customer about getting a refund but No Refund, it's been 5 days.

Thank goodness I didn't give them my credit card info. But they won't stop calling NON STOP, like 5+ times a day. I block their numbers every time and they just call again from a different number. So annoying!

Heads up! $50 a month for this site with horrible customer service. I just called to cancel as I didn't know I'd be charged that amount to view. And she would not refund let alone take a no I want to cancel for an answer. She was SO pushy, interrupting, and kept offering items one me. Don't use! Just get a realtor or a FREE site.

Total scam
September 21, 2023

Was not happy with the service. I cancelled the same day and they still charged me $49.50. Even after I sent proof of my cancellation. No one ever contacted me back not even to say they were going to to give me a refund or anything. WOW!

Total junk
August 13, 2023

I signed for the trial and cancelled immediately. Then they charged me full price later on along with a charge from Libiyi which I have no clue what this is supposed to be for. Stay away from this company. I don't know. How they even qualify for a.org status.

Criminal Scam
May 24, 2024

Every rent-to-own home on the site, the seller is unaware their home is even placed on it. They charge you one dollar, and then for the next two years try and charge your card every day for $50. They lock you out of their sight so you cannot remove your credit card, and if you call, they hang up on you. 100%, a scam from India! Avoid at all cost! Criminals!

Yesterday I googled "rent to own" and started looking at just one link. You had to fill out your info to ask any questions, and it cost $1 for 1 week. Before I submitted anything, I started reading the small print then googled the company name and saw lots of complaints. The complaints said they charge a dollar then $49 per month afterward and they won't give it back. I never hit submit, but before I could clear out my info fields, I was getting a phone call from Affordable Houses. I never even hit enter, never submitted anything. Today I got both an email and text. When I unsubscribed to the email, I received a message that said I was unsubscribed but it didn't cancel my membership. I called them and the woman barely let me talk. She said I'm not in her system but if I gave her my card info she could have her supervisor double check it. I told her I am NOT giving you my card number!
I thought I was safe as long as I didn't hit enter or submit. Lesson learned! Don't even type it in!

I was charged 49.60 TWICE in the same business day and the lady I talked to was hateful and said there was NO way this would have happened because they're not allowed to charge you twice in the same day. Also said they wouldn't give a refund because it was in the "fine print" that they do not issue refunds.So don't waste your time(:

Harrassment
July 19, 2023

If you call them, they will literally harass you with multiple calls from various different phone numbers daily! I have told them to stop calling me. I told them they are harassing me. They laughed at me. They continue to call daily and several times. I have blocked about 40 different numbers from them!

Won't leave me alone
October 5, 2022

Constant calling several times per day. I have requested them to stop calling at least 20 times. Today I kept calling them. Harriett answered at least 20 times. If everyone would give them a dose of their own medicine it might help. I know it made me fell better.

I got signed up for this website somehow illegally and they claimed it was all shown on their webpage. I was looking up info on rent to own. They charged my account even using an old debit card that I no longer have working which is super shady and two it takes them 7-10 days to even consider the refund which is also shady and they wouldn't give me an email with that info.

After they get you to register to view the listings they are no longer intersted in offering services. Luckily, the card I used was a gift card so they will be unable to process any additional fees. Such a scam!

Lexington Law is associated with this bogus service. So in order to get the listing you have to agree to some type of service, If you don't know no anything about your credit file. I did not obtain services, so I was emailed a link to properties but the link sent me

These losers have progressed from being a real estate scam to scamming peoples debit cards directly. I've never made a purchase with them before in my life and suddenly I was hit with a $50 charge because they didn't think I'd notice.

I was in search of legitimate real estate at discounted prices. This website does not disclose complete information about it's listings until you sign up for a membership. The membership is around 45.00/month, however, the site offers a 7 day trial for $1.00. After paying $1.00 for a 7 day trial membership, I noticed that the website listed prices that were just too good to be true. I became weary and stumbled across many bad reviews. I cancelled my credit card immediately. The reviews state that even when you cancel your membership, they will continue to charge your bank account. To be on the safe side, I recommend that anyone who has provided their information reports their card as stolen immediately, in order to prevent these people from stealing your hard earned money. Shame on these people and I hope the site is shut down immediately.

What a scam!
April 5, 2019

My son signed up thinking they could really help him.
They helped themselves---to his money! Try talking to them on the phone-
All you get is the run around.
We are now helping him pay bills until he can get back on his feet.
This company needs to be shut down! Pronto!

Horrible scam
February 3, 2015

Horrible scam. Stay away. They do not list real properties but will continue to charge your card, then tell you that you cannot have complete access to the properties because you discontinued billing, even though you never received any type of service or real listing while paying for service. We have made many calls and spoke to manager of company, and he refuses to provide service or refund our money. We gave him the choice. He has chose to do neither.

I was surfing the internet for home listings and came across Rent to own.com I am interested in buying a home, but was curious to learn more about renting to own. I entered my telephone number but decided not to have my credit report ran so I exited out of the site. I have been getting calls from numbers from different states, and speaking with very aggressive rent to own reps that become RUDE and belligerent when I asked to be removed from there calling list.
