Loopnet Real Estate Rip-Off Painesville Ohio
I LISTED MY PROPERTY WITH LOOPNET AS A FREE LIMITED EXPOSURE LISTING. LOOPNET WOULD CONSTANTLY CALL ME TO CONVINCE ME HOW WELL I WOULD DO IF I UPGRADED TO THEIR PREMIUM LISTING. I WAS TOLD HOW GREAT THEY WERE AND HOW MUCH THEY WOULD DO FOR ME WITH ALL THEIR MARKETING AND EXPERTISE. THEY TRIED VERY HARD TO CONVINCE ME THAT I NEEDED TO SIGN UP FOR AT LEAST A YEAR BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT MOST BUSINESSES TAKE THAT LONG TO SELL. I AGREE, BUT FELT THAT SEEING HOW WELL THEY WORKED WITH ME AND WHAT THEY DID TO ADVERTISE MY BUSINESS WOULD BE A GOOD TEST. AFTER ALL, IF YOU PUT A NEW LISTING INTO AS MANY PLACES AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD, I SHOULD AT LEAST GET SOME INQUIRIES. YOU WOULD THINK THAT OTHER AGENTS OR EVEN CURIOUS LOOKERS WOULD WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING.
MY INTENSION WAS TO SIGN UP FOR THE MINIMUM 3 MONTHS AND TO SEE HOW GOOD OF A JOB THEY WOULD DO TO SEE IF I LIKED THEM ENOUGH TO DISH OUT THE BIGGER DOLLARS.
I GAVE THEM ABOUT 60 PHOTOS OF MY BUILDING, A DESCRIPTION OF EVERY ROOM AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY MIGHT NEED. MY BUILDING WAS LOCATED IN A VERY HIGH VOLUMN AREA NEAR THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE AND WAS LISTED AS THE LEAST EXPENSIVE PER SQUARE FOOT OF ANY BUILDING IN THE AREA. ALL I EXPECTED WAS SOME GREAT ADVERTISING IN KEY PLACES, SOMEONE TO WORK ME THROUGH IMPROVING MY LISTING AND AT LEAST SOME PROOF THAT THEY WERE GENERATING SOME INTEREST. IT WAS NOT A LOT TO EXPECT FOR ALL THE MONEY THAT THEY CHARGE.
THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEIR MARKETING DEPARTMENT AND SALES EXPERTS WOULD BE HARD AT WORK REFINING MY INFORMATION AND THAT THEY WOULD BE CONSTANTLY IN TOUCH TO HELP WITH GETTING RESULTS.
DON'T BELIEVE A WORD THEY SAY. THEY DID NOT CALL ONCE TO HELP WITH MARKETING. THEY DIDN'T CALL TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY CHANGES OR TO HELP IN THE SALE. THEY DIDN'T EVEN CALL ME ONCE TO HELP WITH THE LISTING. THEY DID NOTHING IN THE WAY OF GENERATING ANY TYPE OF INTEREST. I HAD ONLY ONE CALL FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD SEEN THE FREE LISTING AND THAT PERSON WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO QUALIFIED. IT WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY AND I AM JUST SO HAPPY I DID NOT PAY FOR A YEARS WORTH.
PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE MY WORD THAT I BELIEVE LOOPNET IS A TOTAL SCAM. I DO NOT WANT ANY HARD WORKING BUSINESS OWNER WASTE THEIR GOOD MONEY AND I DO WISH THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD GO AFTER THEM AND STOP THEIR FALSE ADVERTISING.
