I am not a real estate agent but your story definitely sounds like they are just selling agents on a pipe dream of getting clients. Hopefully your story protects other agents that will read this. Have you found other sites where people like me can go to find good real estate agents? Like a web 2.0 to connect agents with clients?

I am so disgusted with Realtor.com. I had a very smooth salesperson contact me 4 months ago about a new lead generation system they were starting. He explained I would have shared exclusitivity with one other agent for a top zip code in Orlando. Now mind you I work with lead generation systems so I know they take a lot of work. Well its been four months ( at $99 per month) and I have received 12 leads. This zip is in downtown Orlando mind you.

Every lead is what I call a dead lead. Not one person has replied to an email and when I have set up searches the lead cancels out right away. I feel so strongly that this is a scam that I get up in every board class and announce to everyone the issues I have with this company.

I still get to enjoy handing them over another 800.00 for this awful service.

When I contacted them at first I was told they were working out the kinks in the new system. I told them I don't want to be a guniea pig. I want out and I might come back when it is everything the salespeopson said it was. They said ok let me transfer you to the cancellation dept. Then the cancellation dept said they don't have any issues and they could cancel me if I pay the balance in full SAY WHAT?

Today when I called the lady manager named Kelly Wilkerson said well I should have never listened to the salesperson as thats their job... that I should have called in and asked customer service their thoughts before I signed up. I told her I am confused. I am a salesperson but as a REALTOR I must be honest... I guess REALTOR.com doesn't have to be honest according to her.

Sorry to ramble, I just work so very hard for every penny and this is just a scam as far as I am concerned.
