Buy back to my friend. Have you ever heard of a plan like this

before.







Is it a fraud? Legal? Will it be too hard to get people to

sign?















The company is out $330 for the average house and won't get it back







until the owner decides to sell and succeeds in selling, which could

be







next year or in 30 years. plus I thnk they have to monitor all

these







poiple to make sure they don't hire another agen. That shouldn't

be







hard, Just google every address once a month to see if it's listed

for







sale.















I found the webpage that relates to this.

I don't know how to find out the giimmick without signing up, but

maybe







you guys are more clever than I am.















Click on "How we do it"















I talked to my friend again.















He told me more. He had talked to the guy doing the hiriing for this,







and showed him his work history, and the guy was very enthusuatic.







"You're just the one we want. You're good with customers" etc.















The next day he looked them up with the BEtter Business Bureau, and

they







had an A rating. The highest is A+. So he called the company backm







back and the same guy answered, and I guess he didn't know that until







later, so he verified the address of the company. Then my friend told







the guy on the phone that he had called the BBB and that they had an A







rating.















And instead of saying, "Well I'm sure that puts your mind at rest, and







you know we'll be a good company to work for" the guy said. "Don't

you







ever call this number again. We don't want you. You're bad for this







company. You think too much." and then the guy hung up on him.















Wow, huh? As my friend says, "Nobody*** gives away money [so there







must be a gimmick]















My friend talked to his sister too, and her theory was that every

dollar







they give out, the homeowner has to pay back when he sells his house,







plus lots of interest. Of course until someone sees the contract, he







doesn't know that. So I'm thinking, even an honest person who

intends







to hire the require real estate company is likely to forget about this







deal in several years, or lose the phone number, so what do they do







then. I thought maybe they follow the muliple listings checking if







one of their houses is listed.















But as I started typing here, a better way came to mind. They put a







lien on the house which has to be** paid before it can be sold. And







part of the contract is the owner agreeing to the lien. Probably







without using the word lien.















**What if someone tries to buy a house without checking for liens. I'm







sure he can, can't he. He just buys the house subject to the same lien







and the lienholder can foreclose on the lien anytime he wants, and

force







a sale, like they do with people delinquent on property taxes.















You sure have a vivid imagination.



In all this interviewing, did your buddy ever see any of the actual gift

certificates? Ask what exactly they are? That's what's curiously

missing.

I didn't see one word on

the website about what the certificates are, examples, etc. The whole

thing

is nutty, but if you knew that the "certificate" is for 10% off at Joe's

hot dog cart, 30 miles from where you live, and similar worthless crap,

that would explain why they aren't talking about it. And the certificates

would seem to have to be something useless, along those lines.

I can't see where

the money stream would be coming from to shell out hundreds of dollars to

each sign-up today, based on recovering money from realtors many years

from

now. That business model doesn't make sense.



the website also doesn't give a copy of the contract. Sure, I'll sign up

before seeing the contract.

No contract and not even some examples of what the "gift certificates" are.
Makes me want to sign up too. I'd also think they and possibly anyone
peddling the streets for them, could run into trouble with realtor licensing
issues. They are getting you to agree to sell your home through
one of their brokers and I would think the position of regulators could be
that requires the person doing the selling to be licensed.
