Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My issue with HomeSnap is the customer service. I had used HomeSnap Pro+ for a year and it was fine - honestly, it isn't something I would pay $600 a year to have but I didn't DISLIKE it either. It had some nice features. However, my subscription auto-renewed, and I must not have seen the "warning" email - but I reached out to the customer service department to tell them I didn't want the product... crickets. After a week or so of reaching out and not hearing back, I disputed the charge.. (at the time I legitimately thought I was auto-renewed way earlier than it was supposed to be) ... literally within an hour of disputing I get several responses from customer service. They ask me to drop the dispute in order to work with me on a resolution -- and say they will refund me the money and close my account. The dispute is now closed and I reached back out to ask them about the refund (which I have not received as of yet, it has been two weeks yet according to them it was supposed to take 5-7 days) and I have not received a callback or response to my emails. Just another software company that wants your subscription money and good reviews. Horrible customer service. Stay away

Avoid Homesnap At ALL COSTS

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used HomeSnap for buyer and seller leads. When I first started in 2021-2022 - when real estate was hopping - I received one or two decent leads. After my first year the quality and supply of any REAL leads VANISHED. They will send me a lead from Ocala (or anywhere in Florida) which is 3 hours from where I live (Like I am going to drive 3-6 hours to show property) and send them to me as a buyer lead . Even then when I contact this "supposed lead" the email is bad and the phone number does not work. Initially when I first signed up they were calling me to schedule time to review my leads. Now I cant get them on the phone or respond to my emails to save my life. When I do get them on the phone they tell me that they gave me a good lead like 8-10 months ago. They will try to qualify leads and then 10 days after they have been contacting a completely NON RESPONSIVE LEAD they will send it to you and tell you it is a qualified lead in your pipeline. This is after they have been calling, texting and emailing this lead for 10 days with ZERO RESPONSE. This way they can say they are giving you leads. WHAT GOOD IS A 10 DAY OLD LEAD? It is completely WORTHLESS. You have to follow up with these leads immediately. It seems as if though since real estate has slowed down they have cut their costs and their work force and don't have any real people screening leads just an Artificial Intelligence BOT that sends you the leads 2 weeks late. So even if you had a possible lead if you don't call them within hours they have gone to another Realtor. I sadly paid for another year. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. YOU MIGHT AS WELL LIGHT YOUR $$$$ ON FIRE.

Cons

  • Stop Using AI Bot and hire real people
  • Get REAL leads - not fake ones with fake phone numbers and emails
  • Give the leads to agents quickly - NOT 2 weeks after the initial lead supposedly contacts you

Return on Investment

  • Zero ROI
