No.1 - I am 'confused' when SPSells says, "their short sale program is fantastic!" and yet states, "from what I understand you have to pay for one zip code to be listed. (I have a few)."

Well, if you're already a member, then there's nothing left to understand as far as costs go.

No.2 - If this company actually has banks/lenders as clients, wouldn't it seem sensible to list the names of the banks? Why aren't they listing the names of the banks they have as clients? Why aren't they listing the names of agents they have? Does one want to pay $4.80 month if 20 other agents are also paying $4.80/mo. for one zip code. Add in a few more zips (15) times 20 agents and that's $1,440 and we haven't even gone out of one county yet.

It'd be helpful to know if one is throwing money away.

VA Broker, Not really to sure why you are calling me out.... I am trying to learn things here and be helpful as well. Maybe I should clarify. Yes I am a member and I have had great results. Their short sale listing assignment program is fantastic because it eliminates the BS that normally comes with short sales. Their short sales are not typical leads they are denied loan modifications so the file has already started and they have approval with their lender to do a short sale, and the sellers are prepared as well.
I do not have a problem understanding what I pay for. I pay for multiple zips around my office. I am just not 100% sure if they have a free listing like equator does. We all know you will not get anything with your free zip on equator and you have to purchase multiple zips.
As for them listing who they assign from, well what would that have to do with me?? I can tell you that my short sales have been through multiple banks. (If you want to private message me I will elaborate). I have also beed turned down from a few zip codes because they said they have a saturation limit to eliminate too many agents in one area. That is actually a good thing compared to a lot of these reo companies out there.

We try to help each other, be it seriously or we get a little crazy wild with bantor; but, I think alot of us are skeptical, not as quick to jump, as many of us have been around a number of years and have heard lots of promises - some we've fallen for and others we pass right on by.

Nothing against you personally.

I have been signed up with this company for 1 year now. I have been paying for zip codes near my office as well. In going through my expenses today I decided to cut out the non-performers who are taking my money. I paid for a year and received "NADA" Yes... as in Z-E-R-O. When I called their 800 number to speak to a person on maybe why I wasn't receiving any work in a year, all I received was a machine telling me to go to the website. On the site there isn't a place to cancel the account like there is on Equator. Looks totally unprofessional to me. I emailed them to cancel my account and send me confirmation. I'll let you all know how it goes.

I closed my acct with them yesterday after 11 months of nothing. I left a message for billing and they called back same day.

After reading through quite a few articles on the internet I decided to add a few zip codes to my area with them. I think a lot of agents have been frusturated being signed up with so many companies and not getting much business. With a lot of agents cancelling and we are supposed to be getting a bunch of reo's coming on the market 2012 why not expand and give it a shot. I spend 400 dollars on a mailer every few months that doesnt seem to give me much of a return anyways haha... On a side note, when I called I spoke with a really nice rep. She told me to make sure I have a "certified" profile update every week. I asked what this certified profile was and she walked me through it. Just a FYI..
