Just do a search for Homegain or House Values here and you'll get a lot of information, mostly negative. I wasted $700.00+ on Homegain & never got a decent lead from them.

I've also tried Service Master and Realty Now. That was when you could see the leads first before paying for them (no monthly fee). The first lead I actually asked for turned out to be completely bogus. At least I got my money back but I never tried again.

We've said it many times, take that money & put it into your web site and develop your own leads.

I second Judyo's reply. Use your $'s on your website and other forms of advertising to your farm areas. You'll see a much better return on your investment.

Money spent on SEO and a well designed site should be enough to generate leads.
