Charged my Charge Card AFTER cancelled.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I cancelled my Web Site with Z57 on 12/19/19 but they continued to charge my Charge Card in January WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. I still have not received my refund.

Do not work with them... they have TERRIBLE Customer Service.

Why Are They Still Allowed To Do Business?

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Z57 - Why Are They Still Allowed To Do Business?

I cannot understand why z57 / Property Pulse is still allowed to be in business. They lied to me, several times. They never call when they say they will. Their Customer Service is Customer Non-Service. Most frustrating is the fact that we as REALTOR'S paid for NOTHING! I haven't received one valid lead in 8 months and of course I can't cancel or I'll have to pay a lump sum even though I was told by their Salesperson that if I was really unsatisfied, they would never do that. LIES!

I think it's time that we as REALTORS band together and fight. I'm all for paying my share to Z57 for results - however I truly believe they would rather just make us upset, get us to cancel and then they get the lump sum payment without having to do anything.

Here's what I believe is happening. You may or may not know that your website that Z57 built for you is NOT a secure site. When a potential Buyer or Seller comes to your site they will receive a warning (see screenshot attached). It says "YOUR CONNECTION IS NOT PRIVATE -- ATTACKERS MIGHT BE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR INFORMATION". If you were a potential Buyer or Seller would you give that website your Name, Home Address, Telephone Number and Email Address? NOOOOOOO!!!! That's why nobody on any Z57 review that I've read has any leads. WE ARE PAYING FOR NOTHING AND THEY DIDN'T DISCLOSE IT TO US BEFORE WE PURCHASED. Think about it, would you have signed the agreement if you were told that potential clients would be told that their info might be stolen because the site is not secure?

We need to ALL contact the NAR and our state and local associations! We were all deceived and we're paying through the nose - and Z57 is fat and happy.

Personally I'm not going to cancel my agreement and let them win. I have 4 more months on my agreement and I'm going to force them to get me leads to pay for this awful program. I'm going to call Customer Service everyday and protest the lack of good leads. They say it will work, well then they are going to show me how - every day after day after day.

Here's the number: 800-899-**** ext 5

If you are still a client and can't get out of this mess - call them over and over again.

I'm also going to contact the General Manager - Jack Markham (jack.m@***.com) and I urge you to do the same.

UNITED WE STAND!

They ripped me off as well! Liars, horrible copy on the website they “created,” fake leads (5 in one year, 3 were the same name with 3 wrong email addresses, one with no name and a fake email address, and the latest one was no name with a phone number of 561-123-****!!! They won’t fix it or give me a credit or refund of the almost $2000 I paid them, RUN!

Kealey Uxj

Same thing!! When I asked respectfully to get out of my contract due to Covid19 bag of issues They refused - I have talked with them for 3 weeks Result— I am still liable and with no money or credit card..

How do I pay?

They didn’t come out and say it but said nothing except I own it! There are so many scammers FTC needs to take care of the consumers before the economy tanks!!!

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! I signed up for this service reluctantly.

This has to be the worst company on the planet. They want you to sign an agreement while you're still on the phone with them, which if you would read their agreement the only thing they are guaranteed to do is deduct your money from your account monthly and in returned they promise to do NOTHING! They lied to me from the very beginning. I integrated my contacts into their system, so that it looks like they have provided you with contacts.

Please don't believe the story about the old lady they mention who is making all this money with their company. They provided with me with no good leads, after 2 months I realized this was not going well and went to my credit card company to stop the charges and even reverse them. Discover reversed the charges and then reversed it back in their favor because their contract is written in away as to not hold them responsible for anything, not even providing real leads is not their responsibility. Is this not what we were signing up for is to get good quality leads?

So what are you selling?

I saw another post to the fact of filing a compliant with the FTC, I definitely intend to do that. This company can't be allowed to continue to rip people off.

I have filed a complaint with the FTC, BBB,NAR and my local association. I suggest you do the same.

Stay away. They Lie. Very skilled on the phone.

It is impossible to not renew their services when your contract is up. They continued to bill my credit card.

I have a collection letter from them stating they would take 60% of what i owed them they would not send the remainder to a collection agency. Guess what? They sent the remainder to collections and was threatened re my credit.

Dont talk with them. I presently have filed a complaint with consumerfinance.gov.

Hi guys, i’m having bad experiences with them too! Paying 700$ a month and nothing worth!

So , if i just block them from my account, what they can do?

If they really send my name to collection? i signed annual agreement, Thanks for answer!

NOT WORTH THE MONEY

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I first signed up for their service to make posts on my facebook page for $179 a month. I didn't have to sign a contract so after a couple months I wanted to cancel.

They tell me it takes 3 weeks to cancel. Then of course someone else calls to sell a new service. The SEM, guaranteed traffic to your website. But of course to have that service you also have to keep the first service I signed up for.

The SEM had to have a 6 month contract at $299 a month. I hate to say it, but I fell for it AGAIN! I will use the excuse that I am a new agent and really wanted to build my business! I signed up and signed the 6 month agreement.

Yes they say I am getting traffic to my website. I am getting some leads but NOT one has been a good lead yet. Some don't have a valid email address so you cant put them on a drip campaign. Ones who do have a vaild email, never open the emails they get (you can see in the system).

Some don't put a phone number in at all, some put fake numbers, the rest never answer the phone or respond to text. I am 4 months in and I can NOT wait to cancel this!! SUCH A WASTE OF MONEY! Once I can cancel, I will have paid $3703 for NOTHING!!!

I hear the cancellation process is also not easy either! You have to give a 30 day notice and the "case manager" has to call you about it. I was told when I signed up a case manager would be calling me, NEVER once heard from whoever that person is. I emailed the guy who signed me up with doubt and concerns a month after signing up, NEVER got a response back.

What a joke!!

I CAN NOT WAIT TO BE DONE WITH THIS COMPANY , STOP BEING SO ANGRY OVER WASTING SO MUCH MONEY AND MOVE ON!! DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!!!!

Say one thing, and do another. AVOID. Wont Cancel. COLLECTIONS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Property Pulse or Z57... They will sign you up for service you adamantly express you do not want.

Then they will not cancel. They had me sign contract emailed to me while on phone with sales. I said I would pay for service one time for the year only, No contracts! I do not want any monthly payments!

Okay, they said, Just sign, no worries. Then three months latter they started to withdraw additional $299 A MONTH from my account. I had to cancel my Card with my bank after three months as they would not cancel. I called them and they said no worries, just ignore the balance due on my account.

They have now turned me over to collections with over $3000 DUE NOW. Avoid this company at all cost!

They called and would only offer to take off 40% but not release me. I shouldn't owe anything since I called to cancel on November and they said they would do it.

They even tried to tell me that the company is under new management due to all the bad reviews but a little research proved that wasnt true. They wanted me to buy into another program of theirs. But no they did not resolve the issue.

I was forced to dispute it with my bank. I got some of the money back and had to open a new account.

Original review Apr 29, 2019

I was very reluctant to sign up because it is very expensive. Patrick Clegg assured me that because of the business nature of realestate I could pause or turn off my service at any time. He said I could pay a few months in advance and then turn it off until I have a closing and then pay for a few more months.

Needless to say that was not the case. I told them when I paid for a couple months to stop until I could pay more and they told me that was fine. They did not, a month later someone calls to sell me another service of theirs and I tell him no I need to stop or pause there service because it is still posting and he assured me that ity would be taken care of and someone would call me back. No one called back for another month and it was again to sell me an ad service. I told him the same and again he told me that someone would call back. No one did.

Now I start calling and telling them to please stop my service, each time they tell me someone will call me back or that they will take care of it nobody ever does!

Today I call again now very upset that this service is still posting and I'm still being billed. Today she tells me that I signed for a service that cannot be paused and they cannot stop it because I'm under a year contract and I would have to pay for a year even if they did stop the service!

I did not sign up for a year, I signed up for a month to month service that can be canceled anytime by my original sales person Patrick Clegg!! All lies!

Whats sad is that this service could actually be great if it was more user friendly, they had better customer service and if they didn't lie about cancelling services!

Read the reviews people, I wish I would have, do not give them your money!!

They told me that they would cancel my contract, but they don't. They sent me another bogus lead with the phone number 850555****.

Of course, this is not a real lead. This is what they are sending. I can believe that this happens maybe a couple times, but this is what you will always get from them. NOTHING!!!

Please stop playing games and just cancel the contract.

Never want to hear these people names ever in life again. They totally suck!!!

Z57 property pulse is a horrible company. They get you to sign the contract, then they call you back with that bogus SEM program...it's a tactic they used on me and everyone else.

That's how they get more money out of you. Please don't sign up. You Will be living a nightmare.

Rip off company. Something has got to be done.

I should have learned the first time

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I know this is ridiculous, but 5 years ago I signed up for Z57 and didn't like the posts, so I cancelled. A couple months ago I received a call from Z57, and they said that they had made massive changes. The salesman was good at selling...in fact, great at his scripts. He gave me his cell and said he was my personal go-to anytime I had questions. I was never able to speak with him after that.

One of the issues I encountered included the ability to forward leads to another database for nurturing. In addition, followup campaigns must be manually assigned--they are not automated.

They would not let me out of the contract, despite my complaints. They said they could cancel my service, but I would still get billed for the entire length of contract.

I vow never again to sign a year long contract for a similar service!

Terrible Services

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was a customer for Years, but, not paying attention to my website or payments to them. After years of payments and NOT 1 customers came from my website they hosted over MANY years with them.

It took me months to cancel with them and they continued to charge me even though they were not hosting my sight anymore. My new Web Hosting company already transferred over and built my new sight for months, they would not release me and continued taking money. Over 2.5 times my new company, and I within the first couple months started receiving new customers and Sales.

Z57 is not worth $10 a month for what they stole over $100 a month for years. I belong to the largest Real Estate Company in the world and have blasted it out to as many fellow Realtors as I can.
