It's a simple question and really nothing more. I was contacted by a sales guy for homes.com and he obviously wanted me to use their services. I have also been contacted by every other Internet marketing website known to man, but I thought I would pose this question to you guys.
So, if your are a Realtor and you use homes.com, I would really appreciate any feedback that you can provide. Positive or negative. Also if you don't use homes.com, but you have another site comparable to it that has really worked for you, then by all means share with the crowd your experience.

I have never used it, but I do look at web strategy. I think a user of this is likely to also try the more well-known Realtor.com
As with any marketing, I guess it would depend on what they are offering and how much.
Hey J.L.
This is a site I once paid for and believe my ROI was zero and the costs of the actual leads received were over $200 a piece and they were not good.................I cancelled
I have tried and tried again
does not work for me at all
I Posted this question a month or so ago. I really didn't get anyone who liked it.

If you invest the same amount of money in hiring a colleague to write quality, original copy for your web site, you'll probably come out ahead. :)
I got the same sales pitch from a Homes.com agent. I can see where his program will keep you high in the web search engines, but I wasn't really thrilled with his sales pitch. I'd rather someone come into my office and sit down with all the agents and explain their business model rather than try to explain themselves over my cell phone while I'm at Wal-Mart trying to do my shopping.
I've had good leads from TheRealEstateBook.com. I'm also in their little monthly magazine (which fits handily into a lady's purse).
But mostly our franchise receives over 350 confidential inquiries per month and it's all I can do to keep up with those company referrals.
