This company does nothing that they promise. They spend more effort on threats and collection than they do on promotion. Don't get hooked! Do not waste your money.

I'm a real estate broker in Austin, Texas and they continue to hound me to sign up for their real estate lead service. From forums across the internet, all I have read is that they are a complete waste of time and money. Today (4/23/08), I am filing a FTC complaint against ePeks regarding the spam emails. Please stay away from this company. There're bad news! ePerks will not stop spamming me after 5 removal requests.

The sales rep. had lied to me about the Perks and discounts I would receive. I asked for a refund and they said that they would agree to it. Obviously I received nothing back. My credit card company has now filed EPerks as a fraudulent company and they went and issued me a refund. Now, I am being contacted by a collections services. There is a way to do business. These people obviously dont know how to treat people. EPERKS has been the worst real estate website service provider Ive ever dealt with.

Best thing you can do is mark them as spam or junk mail. Spam in AOL makes a big difference. Sooner or later their server will get blacklisted if enough people do it then they won't be able to contact nearly as many people at all.

Regardless of your promotional motives I will proceed to enlighten you on my logic. Other aspecs of the site are fine, but for Realtors this goes beyond the concept of simple paid advertising. By agents signing up on EPerks to reward clients with commission they're digging themselves a hole. Simply put, an agent will not be used for their knowledge or professionalism, but rather the reward. It's a snowball effect. Everyone these agents work with through word-of-mouth from that point forwards will be expecting a handout. A naive homebuyer in an attempt to be rewarded with commission may actually be sacrificing a good deal on a long term investment to simply get a thousand dollars or so of the commission split. NOT WISE AT ALL. See an untampered thread involving agents opinions of the service as well here: http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/eperks-more-feedback-is-welcomed/ Tom.

Seems the only people with good things to say are ironically the same posters from every other thread out there. So Tom, do you like your job at EPerks? :) Tom,
