Empower Group USA EMPOWERGROUP, Empower, USA, Sean Whalen, Kirk Lawson, Israel, Beware of False Representation, High Pressure, Misrepresentation of Property, Services and Coaching Orem, Utah
BEWARE OF EMPOWER GROUP. BEWARE OF THEIR PROPERTY INVESTMENTS. BEWARE OF THEIR COACHING PRODUCTS.
Beware of the Empower Group USA based in Orem Utah. They sell properties that are "supposedly" good deals and have lots of equity or potential upside.
PLEASE BE SURE TO DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE OR YOU MIGHT BE STUCK WITH A HORRIBLE PROPERTY LIKE SO MANY INVESTORS IN THE MARKET PLACE THESE DAYS.
Investors should know that it is not wise to invest in assets site unseen. The Empower Group USA will tell you that their properties are just likes stocks or other asset classes that you don't need to see before investing but that couldn't be further from the truth. Real Estate is not the stock market. When you buy stocks, you are investing in a company that is regulated and high managed. When you buy real estate, you are responsible for the management, marketing, taxes etc.
Empower Group USA will tell you that because the properties are so cheap that the risk is low. This is not the case because you might be buying a property that has an E.P.A. lien on it. You are also buying properties that are in the middle of nowhere meaning that there aren't necessarily buyers for you to resell the properties to. You risk potential is 100% of you investment. If you cannot afford to lose every dime that you give to Empower Group for the investment, then make sure that you have thoroughly done your due diligence first. If you cannot afford to complete your due diligence or you do not know how, then do not invest.
FINALLY, EMPOWER GROUP HAS FALSELY PRETENDED TO BE AFFILIATED WITH SEMINAR AND INFOMERCIAL COMPANIES. THEY HAVE FALSELY REPRESENTED THEMSELVES AS BEING ENDORSED AND BACKED BY LARGE REPUTABLE FIRMS.
IF EMPOWER GROUP USA IN OREM UTAH WOULD LIE ABOUT WHO THEY ARE AND WHO THEY AFFILIATE WITH, THEN YOU SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER YOU INVESTMENT WITH THEM.
ALWAYS CALL THE COMPANY THAT THEY CLAIM TO BE AFFILIATED WITH BEFORE YOU INVEST WITH EMPOWER GROUP USA IN OREM UTAH.

#3REBUTTAL Owner of company
Wed, July 14, 2010
Greetings. My name is SEAN WHALEN and I am the owner of Empower Group. I'd like to respond to the post and make some very clear and TRUE statements on behalf of myself and EMPOWER GROUP. The complaint HAS NO DIRECT COMPLAINTS against my company except making general untrue statements, and has posted a picture of me. This is obviously a person or group that could be competing with me in the market, becasue if this person was a true unhappy customer they would have stated such..
First off I encourage EVERYONE to contact me directly to resolve concerns or ask questions. I offer my personal email address for you to contact me directly. Writing slanderous, UNTRUE things on the internet, is a very simple way to show that your intentions are NOT to educate or "warn"people, but to try and harm the very good reputation of my company.
Empower Group has an **A** RATING WITH THE BBB (Better Business Bureau). We ahve helped over 690 investors find and buy property and we have done over 4,000 transactions, so to have that A rating is VERY IMPRESSIVE and shows how committed to our clients success we are.
In response I must say that I AGREE with most of the comments made! I would like to comment on:
1. DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE!!!! I completely agree with you! Empower Group has sold more than 4,000 properties to investors from all over the world, and you will see WE ENCOURAGE people to do their research!!! We have built a company that delivers things as promised, and I will stand by that fact and will continue to provide my clients with the highest level of opportunity, trust, and respect.
2. REAL ESTATE IS NOT THE STOCK MARKET!!! I agree!!!! If you think that buying a home is the same as buying a stock, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not buy from us, or any other person until you are VERY CLEAR that buying a home IS NOT the same as buying a stock!!! Stocks are with compnaies that are "Highly regulated and Highly Mnaged??" I'm sure those who have lost everything to the scams on wall street would agree with you Mr. Mystery poster, and YES if you buy real estate YOU HAVE TO PAY TAXES! This is just a dumb comment that has NO FOUNDATION.
3. DO NOT INVEST IF YOU CAN NOT AFFORD IT!!! Our financial troubles as a country are from people being over leveraged, and borring what they could not afford! I agree with you that if you are using next months rent payment, food money, or the last $10 bucks you have, DO NOT DO IT with my company OR ANY OTHER COMPANY!!! Be wise in what you buy, but only invest if you have the ability to do so!!! PLEASE HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR!!! DO NOT DIG A BIGGER HOLE, BE SMART WITH YOUR MONEY!!! If you are unsure on if you should invest, call your accountant or lawyer and speak with them first.
4. BUY FROM REPUTABLE SOURCES!! Empower Group does not, nor will it EVER contact people that have not requested contact or at some point requested information about available investment opportunity. My company does not need to lie or pretend to be something it is not. I personally have traveled all over the country with high profile real estate "guru's", and know many of them personally. I consider my relationships my biggest asset and I value those relationships, and candidly do not need to "pretend" to be someone, something or with someone we are not.
I would encourage ANYONE to contact me directly with questions. I have many, many clients that would happily discuss their great relationship with me and Empower Group if you would like to confirm who we are and what we do. Me and my "cronies" are willing to share everything we do to help our clients be successful, such as TAKING PICTURES OF EVERY ROOM IN EVERY HOME WE BUY BEFORE WE BUY IT, CLOSE WITH REAL ESTATE CONTRACTS WRITTEN BY ATTORNEYS IN EACH STATE WE BUY, ABIDE BY THE LAWS OF EACH STATE WE INVEST & SELL IN, ETC. Again, I'd be more than willing to give those who seriously wish to know, and seriously wish to invest contact information for OUR ATTORNEYS who will confirm all of this.
Who else does this, and what "scam" would provide you with this???
Posting slanderous things on the internet is very childish and telling about the person posting. If you have real concerns or questions you go to the source. If you wish to do harm to someone and you are too afraid to share LEGIT issues, you do what these people have done.
Again, feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone may have, or help any of you reading this understand how we have helped HUNDREDS of clients buy homes and land all over the country fo less than what they paid for their cars.
Cheers.
