Avoid purchasing their service. I was misled by their promises of high-quality leads, but instead received outdated and irrelevant ones. They sent me leads from homeowners who had no connection to the company and weren't even aware of it. I paid $4,800 for three zip codes over a six-month period—an absolute waste of money. Don't be fooled by their deceptive claims.
I started in January 2022 thinking I could handle a few more leads. Even one lead would pay for itself. I asked for a refund because all the leads said they never signed up for selling their house and to take me off their call list. One kind woman said she fills out surveys and this sort of thing happens because her surveys get sold and that is how you get the lead. These leads are NOT interested in selling! Not one deal or positive call. I was not given any sort of help or refund! Dont do it!
Do not Use this Vendor - engaged this company as a lender. Paid $300 as they promised several leads a month for 6 months. I received 2 leads and no call backs or responses to reach out on these leads. Sold.com customer service called me and asked about re-upping. I asked the SOLD.com rep if they though this was a good investment and a good value? The rep said "yes, of course" and blamed it on me for choosing a low producing County of "only" 75,000+ people. I would NEVER use this company again.
Had a friend suggest I check SOLD.com as I was getting ready to explore selling my home. I've owned this house for over 20 years, and moving was honestly terrifying. It was really refreshing to find that SOLD.com's concierges held my hand through the process of finding the right company to help me sell. I've referred several of my friends!
Update:
After months of waiting for someone to contact us for coaching and remaining hopeful that some leads would pan out, we had enough and demanded a refund. At first that was refused but then I got a call from the co-founder who was very helpful and we had a great conversation about the leads we received and he listened to my complaints. In the end, we received a full refund and were kept on the free program. So thought the leads didn't work out for us, at least the company cared enough to make things right. A lot of money for leads that have already been called 15-20 times or that have no idea why you're calling them.
Thanks for the feedback, Dan. We will take a look at your account and have your agent success rep reach out. Our concierge time does call each lead to attempt to qualify and generate appointments for you. You are right, some leads don't remember coming to SOLD.com...it is the nature of online platforms unfortunately. Sometimes consumers go to multiple websites. I am sure we can turn this around for you.
Terrible lead generation. Paid $2000 for 3 zip codes and received bogus leads. Worked the 24 leads I got for 6 months with zero real activity. At least half told me they were never thinking of selling, another 20% got mad and asked how I got their name. The concierge was pushy I was told and the one live appointment I actually got was a woman looking for a maid. I was done when I received a lead from a friend of mine and she certainly was not selling her home. Tried to talk to management for months with zero response. Finally spoke to someone with an attitude and nothing good to say. Absolutely awful company.
To be honest I am very dissatisfied with this service. They will send someone to me with no regard for my schedule. I don't just sit around and wait for Sold.Com to contact me.
Secondly when I am able to make contact with a possible home seller without fail they will say one of the following.
1. I never filled anything out on line
2. I am just interested in a cash offer. (I have told SOLD.COM we don't do that but they seem to care?
3. I am not interested in selling
Try making contact with Sold.com. Good luck with that. I have made several calls and nobody actually picks up a phone and trust me nobody even returns a message.
Save your money..
Sales team will promise promise promise to make a sale... when it comes to the service it is sub par. The lead quality is absolute trash. They will not respond to your emails. Your agent success rep will not even look into your account or reach out regarding activity. They want 30% of your pie and don't provide any good data for you to make the investment worthwhile. Do yourself a favor and take these reviews to heart and do not invest into their services. Trash service and trash company that doesn't perform on their promises. DO NOT WASTE A DIME.
I can't speak to their real estate leads, but the mortgage leads are not quite ready to be sold. They are new to mortgage leads, and just don't seem to have things dialed in yet. Personally, I would recommend waiting for a while before signing up, until they get things smoothed out.
To their credit, they did reach out to me almost immediately after posting my review to make things right. I won't specify what they did, but suffice it to say they did right by me.
I'm a real estate agent that has used sold.com for a little over a year, yes every once in a while you will get a legitimate lead but most of the time Sold.com lies to the consumer to get them to agree to the appointment. They say the agent is an investor who will offer a cash price on the spot, they say the agent will agree to a super low commission and basically they say anything to get them to agree to the appointment. I've had many appointments where the consumer says they didn't even agree to the appointment and want me to leave. Do not waste your money on paid Sold.com leads, most of their leads they get from FSBO on Zillow.
Hi Jessica - Unfortunately, the allegations in your review are simply not true. We never lie to consumers, we never tell consumers they will get a cash offer on the spot (unless the consumer has agreed to meet with one of our iBuyer partners) or that agents agree to discounted commissions and we don't get leads from Zillow. I'm sorry to hear you have not had success converting any of our concierge set appointments, however, they do convert and we are helping hundreds of agents grow their business. This review shows "jabs" and hides information about who the reviewer is so we actually can't pull up your account to contact you to help you, otherwise we would. We hold trainings for agents every month and every agent has an agent success rep who is responsible for helping agents be successful. If you want to provide your information we would be happy to contact you to clear up the confusion you have with our platform and help you get on track with the hundreds of other agents finding success using SOLD.com.
I went to site wanting to SELL my home, the ad stated we BUY homes so put my information in got a call I asked do you buy home? Was to yes. Set up a consultation realtor came out gave me comps, when I asked how much will you buy my home for was told they do not buy home they just waned to list it for sale. If I wanted to list it I would have used my local realtor. Any realtor would give you a comp eval to hep you set a selling price. Waste of time.
Hi Mark - We can't pull up your account information from this review site as there is not enough info. Please call us at 844-355-7653 or email us at contact@sold.com. We would love to review your information and understand why the cash offer was not eligible in your case. We have lots of cash buyers in our network, however, there can be a number of factors why a home is not eligible for a cash offer. Things like year built, condition, location, potential rental income potential, etc. When we are unsure if the home is eligible for a cash offer, we send a local expert out to gather more details and provide a sense of what the home would be worth, like they did in this case. We would need to review the details of the account to fully understand what occurred here that didn't meet your expectations. We look forward to hearing from you to help you out!
This is the worst company to work with. I had an onboarding appointment with Jhuang today at 1pm. No one called me. I sent several messages no one responded. The phone rang and rang. The chat was offline. I don't usually write reviews. I would have given them 0 stars, but had to give one. Don't know if I want to deal with them
Hi Monika - Sorry you couldn't reach us today to set up your free account. This website does not allow us to see who you are so we dont have your full name or contact information. Please email us at agentnetwork@sold.com and we will be sure to help you complete your onboarding and finishing setting up your free account. We are out of the office during the weekend but will get with you during business days (Monday-Friday). Sorry we disappointed you today.
I will not call a homeowner who is currently listed with another agent for many reasons. I will not lie to people to get their business as SOLD.com has coached me to say. I am not pushy, yet some numbers I have called have told me where to stick it, some have threatened me if I ever call again, some have lectured me how they are on the do not call list and some are not even the people on title. I have chatted with some who laugh at the questions they supposedly answered, SOLD.COM just tell me that these people are lying and they absolutely filled out something online. I am sorry, I can not believe that every single person I have chatted with or been yelled at by is lying. I have spoke with people who told me realtors were vultures and I could fight over her beloved home when she was dead. That is horrible and I do not need to be wasting my time and hard earned money on this type of abuse.
I have attached one of my 40 leads I received in the past 5 months. I have also included the email after I paid $1800 for 2 zip codes because they will not let you buy just 1 zip code.
Hi Debra - Sorry for the delay in responding. We rarely look at this site because we found that most of the reviews were from competitors and not real reviews. Unfortunately, this site does not provide your information so we cannot look up your account to dig into what happened or how we can help you...but we want to help! Please email us at agentnetwork@sold.com or call us at 844-355-7653 (SOLD). We never ask any agent to lie. I would like to learn exactly what happened so we can pull the call and write up any rep who told you that. We never tell agents to call homeowners who are listed with an agent, that is unethical. Same as above, I would like to learn more about what happened there. Since our website is available to all consumers you may get some leads who don't want to talk to you - it is a numbers game but the service does work.
I have been calling on a lot of leads, and the amount of leads were promising. However after finally getting a hold of some of the people, I started noticing a pattern. They are all over 50 years old with most of them over 65, many of which do not use the internet and never gave their information. I've also had some leads come in here that are deceased and have been deceased since 2018... They're using some kind of farming I'm guessing to get these people but not verifying the details because dead people don't submit requests.
For the amount of money that was spent for this program. Thousands of dollars for nothing... Not a single lead turnover... And refusal to refund.
Take your money and go invest in someone else like realtor or Zillow at this point. Sold.com is ridiculous and it should be criminal what they're doing. I see theft by swindle stating that these people willingly put these requests in their website and are looking to connect with agents when in fact they have never heard of the site, they don't go on the internet, and all the effort put into getting this in place and following up for not a single sale.
Please do your due diligence and research companies before going with them.
I am a new agent. Was promised to be one of two featured agents for the zip codes I bought. Doing investigative work that was not the case. Experienced high volume agents were visible. No one could see my profile. When I called I treated rudely and no one returns calls from there. This whole experience has been very shady.
I gave this a shot bc my friend referred me. I had a wonderful experience selling my house with great customer service. Trustpilot and Google Reviews are all 4-5 stars and I had the same 4-5 star experience. I felt compelled to share bc this review website seems to just show disgruntled agents who probably are not agents used by the company. My experience is they only work with the best agents so I imagine not all agents are happy depending on how good they are.
Thanks for sharing your experience using SOLD.com! Glad you had a good one.
I made the mistake of signing up as a "featured agent" for Sold.com a few months ago. It has been a horrendous experience. The "leads" promised are dead. They are not home sellers. They are people whose home is already for sale and they are just trying to check the value of their home or they are just wondering and dont' want agents to bother them. Sold.com's web site it riddled with misspellings, it's staff is scattered and service very poor. Run.
Hi Ryan - We just found this review site a few weeks ago and are trying to help anyone that has had a poor experience. I can confirm that the website typos and other items you address here have been resolved. As you know from other online platforms it is really hard qualifying a lead without talking to them, however, we have built our own internal lead scoring technology that among other things, checks public records to verify leads are real people and home owners. Regarding intent, we are all about helping consumers with education. We seek to connect consumers with industry partners when they are looking to educate themselves of home selling options, understand what their home is worth or looking to meet with a local pro to list their home. We ask the consumers if they are already listed with an agent and check MLS records for this as well. We have many happy customers (home sellers and agents) that have been successful using the platform but sorry to hear you had a poor experience. We would be happy to chat with you about this, please reach out to us directly 844-903-7653 (SOLD) or contact@sold.com.
I signed up with SOLD.com and 3 months later I have had NO closed leads what-so-ever. All the leads I get are people who have just bought the house, who no longer live in the house, state "How did you get my info", and the supposed meetings always fall through. Horrible customer service. DO NOT BUY! Run the opposite way. Zillow has proven more effective than SOLD.com.
Hi Adriane - We didn't realize this review site was around and are just now seeing this feedback. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with us. I will share though that at SOLD.com we focus on building trust and relationships with home owners and the typical seller journey from discovery to actually deciding to list takes longer than 3 months, however, we would like to learn more where we fell short in meeting your expectations. Please reach out to us directly 844-903-7653 (SOLD) or contact@sold.com.
Sold.com sent me FSBO leads who did not want an agent.
This is one of the worst investments I have ever made in my real estate career.
Do not sign up with Sold.com
This is a dishonest company that profits off of deceitful tactics. They harvest information from people selling their home fsbo and sell false leads to realtors. My story: I'm currently selling my house through FSBO and they called me saying their executive or owner of their company was interested in buying my house and they needed my email so they can send me a offer (they got my other info off of Zillow). So far I haven't received any offers and only realtors calling me saying Sold.com referred me to you because you were interested in selling your house with us. So they harvest my contact information and sold it to realtors. They make profit off these realtors with false leads. Only use companies with good principles for your business because this company is surely lacking that.
Sold.com has a rating of 1.6 stars from 30 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Sold.com most frequently mention and zip codes. Sold.com ranks 1177th among Real Estate sites.
