This is one of the most sophisticated methods I've seen that separates realtors from their money. This outfit is a total fraud. And after a couple of months the phone numbers have all changed. Can not get in touch with anyone
I signed up in May 2023... Leads are the worst. Tried to cancel in May 2024 but missed the deadline and ended up having to pay yet another year of sub par leads. I then let them know I want to cancel when time is up... and guess what... the leads though sub par were turned off and my account receives nothing. I am still paying for it until May 2025 so this is truly a scam. When I look at the acct, the referral radar and the crm startes it is in developmental purposes only? If you are thinking about signing up for SetSchedule do yourself a huge favor... DON'T. Save your $$
I want to share my experience with SetSchedule, a lead generation company for realtors based in California, as I believe it's crucial for others to be aware of the potential pitfalls. I initially signed up with them, lured by the promise of qualified leads. Unfortunately, what I received were nothing but recycled, outdated leads that were essentially worthless. I wasted a whole year trying to work with these leads, and despite my better judgment, I gave them a second chance when they reached out to me. This time was even worse.
The leads never answered the phone, and I never received any live calls, which had been promised. The customer service was horrendous; they rarely responded to my inquiries, and when they did, it took weeks to hear back. I wasn't alone in my frustrations—there are constant complaints from other agents as well. In fact, the Better Business Bureau shows that SetSchedule has accumulated over 300 complaints in the last three years, with 92 of those in just the past year.
Based on my experience, I strongly advise anyone considering their services to stay away. SetSchedule feels like a huge scam, and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same disappointment and wasted investment that I did. If you're a realtor looking for reliable leads, I recommend exploring other options to avoid the struggles I faced with this company.
They not only don't provide good leads they take the 1559.00 from a credit card on file from last year and will not refund my money even after I told them I was inactive.
DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY
0 Stars -- Lets just skip lead quality (total crap) and go straight to the issue. I canceled the "membership" and setschedule auto renewed me (after I had already canceled) saying that I didnt cancel... and charging my card I think it was something like 3,000 or more. I've asked multiple times to be removed from the leads being sent to me via phone text. When you try and cancel the membership they wont allow for it. On my phone they send the verification code to cancel (after several prompt attempts to keep you around) but it ALWAYS says that the code is INVALID. When you go online to cancel the cancel button doesnt work... The "close out button" works and the "change my mind works just fine" but not the "Cancel my subscription" button as they have adjusted their site so that you cant cancel. This company is a total scam.
I paid Setschedule over $2K last fall for a guaranteed number of qualified leads - after a real sales pitch about how they basically perform a Presales function to ensure the leads we would receive would be actual buyers. What a line of BS - WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE LEAD IN OVER 6 months AND noone from their customer service up to the Executive Suite will respond to inquiries regarding it - its just a big black hole! You would be better off just throwing your $ out the window - at least you could see someone pick it up and benefit from it. Total BS of a company!
"I spoke to a team regarding a test run to determine if their service was a good fit for me. They insisted that I pay, so I provided my card details over the phone for payment processing. Unfortunately, I didn't like the service and decided to take the loss.
However, I later found out that my card was charged without my approval or consent, and I didn't receive any email notification regarding the charges. I double-checked my login on their website and found that there was no card on file. I have tried calling and emailing them, but no one has been responding.
I hope this message helps the next person."
I AM ON HOLD RIGHT NOW WITH NEDA FOR 30 MINUTES AND SHE NEVER CAME BACK TO THE PHONE. SHE SIGNED US UP WITH JAMESON AS THE BACK UP GUY! THIS IS TRULY A SCAM AND WILL BE REPORTED BY US TO BBB! WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED BY THEM!
Worst company to do business with in the real estate industry.
I purchased their lies and paid for the $1,7760 plan and worked the all the leads very hard. 90 plus precent of the leads were not valid, bad phone numbers, Bad email addresses, if you were able to talk to the person they either didn't know anything about looking for a home or they purchased a home 4 months ago. So there are all bad leads.
I just sat through 5 minutes of the initial setschedule pitch. I asked some bigger picture questions of how leads move from Zillow to SetSchedule and SetSchedule to me. The salesperson told me he didn't feel comfortable saying other than "by email", it "wasn't relevant" and I was asking questions "above my paygrade". It seems the sales pitch is: the only thing you need to know from SetSchedule is 1. Sign up, 2. Pay up, and 3. No refunds. Anything else is irrelevant or for someone higher up the food chain to know.
Do not sign up for Set Schedule. You cannot cancel and they take your money and do not deliver. Do not give them your credit card. The leads are bogus. So called buyers wanting ocean front in Hawaii or good neighborhoods for $150K. The transfer hot lead calls do not exist. You answer the phone and they hang up. The interface with the app took a month to get working and then it is all nonsense. Daily emails are a nuisance and provide nothing. Need I say more they are a negative one star. Do not give them your hard earned money. I had to cancel my credit card and report them to my credit card company for trying to charge my credit card for another year. The only positive is you can connect with other agents in other states and might get a referral partner. We are all in the same boat. Bogus leads no results.
I wish I saw this before I purchased! Really really really OLD leads! One of these supposed "leads" was 7 years old. Most of mine was 3-4 years old. The "Connect Now" service is supposed to connect you with a real person on the end...what a JOKE! I had 10-15 opportunities and I was NEVER able to connect. My account was suspended for counting down the days to the end my membership within the feed and complaining. Support is next to non-existent. Complete waste of time and money!
I paid nearly $1800 for "LEADS" that were to be live transfers and good quality. After 7 months I have not received 1 live lead. The so called LEADS I have received have no idea they are interested in real estate in my area. The data SS is using is old and out of date and they lie. I have tried to get a refund. I tried to get help and actually had the CS Rep not call and not be available and NOT follow up on a SET APPT. Once you are a member there are comments and complaints inside the chat from members. Does the CEO offer to fix anything or refund money. NO- Just says he knows there are problems. Calling these leads is actually detrimental to your reputation as they know they are not viable in any way. Run run run away from this company and spend your money differently.
This company promises leads similar to the ones Zillow provides. These are not real leads. They will take your money and never talk to you again. PLEAS DON'T LET THEM STILL FROM YOU.
I signed up to get leads. I received a bunch of numbers to random people. The leads are not real. Now I can't get a hold of anyone to refund my money. Keep your money. The leads are not real.
I paid for a full year of leads of which I was promised 100 leads in a year for $ 1776. I did not receive any leads from them and then they had the guts to invoice my credit card for another year. I took it it to the Better Business Bureau but got no where. They set me up for a scheduled phone call about 3 weeks out. When they finally called me to discuss the money they owed me, the person was calling to set up my account? I told them I definitely would chalk this up as a very bad experience that cost me $ 3552.
I've been selling real estate for over 25. This has got to be the absolute worst generation company I have ever been associated with! Not only was everything they told me about live lead transfer bogus but they charged my credit card another $1800 after a year of zero deals and a year of me telling them over and over do not renew, I am not pleased with the service, I do not want to continue my relationship, after countless phone calls and emails they charge my card another $1800 and told me that they will cancel it next year! Please RUN from this absolutely unscrupulous company! Every lead that was transferred to me was a total lie. People were begging to be taken off the list saying that they were looking for houses seven years ago and they don't understand why they keep getting these phone calls. My phone was ringing all hours of the night with computer generated calls where they were waking people up. It was absolutely horrible and insult on top of injury. They charged my card another $1800. Don't fall for it! Don't take the bait! You'll be very sorry!
One very unhappy Realtor!
The leads are horrible despite what the marketing rep presented. I tried to dispute the autorenewal with no success -so now stuck with another year of sucky leads. I cannot get customer service to call me back to talk about any options.
Terrible company with horrible customer service.
Overpromised and underdelivered. I joined over 6 months ago. I have not received the first lead. I have spoken to and complained to three different representatives to no avail. I'm also licensed in two states but I cannot see leads but in the one state. I've also spoken to three different reps about this and it still has not been corrected.
If I could give a negative star rating, I would definitely do that. I was contacted to get real estate "verified leads" in my area and on a referral basis. About 6 months in, I totally gave up on this platform because the number of verified leads were almost non existent and not in my desired area. The non verified leads were bogus. Not one of the referrals I received were even looking for real estate help in any way. They also auto renewed without my permission and have a "so sorry for you" attitude about removing the charge and canceling my account even though I have followed the instructions online to be removed and it will not go through. Whatever you do, don't fall for their promises. Let my story be a cautionary tale. I loss the initial $2000, but I will not allow them to automatically steal another $2000. I'm considering a class action lawsuit for anyone who has been in a similar situation with this company.
Was told I would receive 100 referrals in a year. It's been almost 6 months. Received 2! Neither wanted to even talk to me. One would not respond t all, the other said they were interested a month ago, but not now (I responded within minutes of receiving the lead). Spent $1400, what a waste. I am one unhappy REALTOR!
Answer: I originally agreed to their system because they lied about how good it was.
Answer: All of the above responses must have been fraudulently generated. Set schedule is the worst. Very dishonest company, I would keep away.
Answer: You don't have to worry about a referral fee because you will never get a valid referral. They are just people they look up in the white pages or something. They never have any idea what I'm talking about!
Answer: Yes, generally there is a 20% referral fee on leads provided by all sources such as homes.com and others. There is no referral fee on the marketing records provided on the referral radar. There is also no referral fee on any data or leads generated by the CRM and or the open house visitor management tool. Hope this helps
Answer: You have to pay upfront and they don't deliver any lead. If you get a lead it's sincerely inexistente fake or very off in what they are looking for. Do not use this service they scammed me and stole my money they delivered zero leads.
Answer: This company is a rip off. I paid for the services and leads are bs. Don't waste your money
