My recent BOG training experience with Greg Murphy was very valuable. Getting proper information from experienced people is a huge step for me. I now have a basic understanding to build on and continue moving forward. - Joel Willson

Hello, first off I've read all the negative reviews and it is unfortunate there are so many 'slow' people out there with the hindsite of a broken mirror. I have been in technology for over 30 yrs and it is not uncommon to pay $1k-3k for a seminar or college courses so 1k for my wife and I was a good deal and what I like the most about the pricing is that it keeps the rif-raf at home! For the money and my time I do not want it waisted be jokers that aren't serious. I think all the negative reviews are fantastic for the same reasons lol. The 3 day class was great! We were blown away at the information and potential real estate has. There are so many ways to make money and with the mentorship, how can you loose if you follow the proven steps and use common sense. If you have no common sense then this might be tough for you. I don't 'need' money but I do want more of my time, as I get older, so my wife and I decided to pay for the high priced Dimond Elite package and here is why: 1. High price means we get to network with serious business people. 2. High price means high commitment. 3. High price means quality instructors!!! 4. High price means quality support and mentorship 5. Lifetime support for all aspects of business from taxes and lawyers to reviewing deals and more! You get what you pay for folks. All the outs, and 'we are not responsible for...' is just business and if you are in business then you have to protect it and you. That is all that is. We just completed boots on the ground and it was good. It wasn't great because we still ended up with someone that dominated the class at times so it got a little slow at times. But! We can do another one anytime we want for free! What I really liked is that our instructor Adam was very experienced in real estate and is a Dr. In education so he managed the class and trained us by actually using the web tools to find homes, pull comps, estimate repair costs, run the numbers, submit offers, and scripts for calling realtors and buyers. Ohh and completely covered marketing too! This is like anything else, the more you are around it and do it, the easier it gets and these people understand that at Response. The fact is, this isn't for everyone and if you are more afraid of an opportunity to success then what your future holds then you probably should stay away from it. IF, However you are a hard worker, know how to comitt at something until you succeed then this is for you! Why go into debt going to college for a crapy job where people tell you when you can use the restroom or take a break when you can work just as hard for your self for 5-10 yrs and retire as your own boss? Quite crying about the money, just make more of it. With real estate you can do that without trading all your time away forever. Enjoy your life... I'm going to thanks to the support /mentorship that Response provides.

Hi, Chris. Thank you so much for the thorough review. We understand that our training, software tools, and other services aren't cheap - we don't take it lightly. Like you have pointed out, we have found that a lot of the customer success comes at an individual level - the commitment, the work ethic, the accountability. We work hard to develop and deliver effective training. Unfortunately, however, no amount of training or tools will help anyone who is not willing to put in the time and hard work. Many who post negative experiences and call us a scam, simply never apply the training or place offers. If they don't place offers, obviously, they don't get any accepted. If they don't get offers accepted, they don't close deals. If they don't close deals, they make no money. Of the customers who post negative reviews, we've found that many have not attended the classes, logged into the software, or have not placed any offers. We have tens of thousands of happy customers and learn of inspiring success stories every week! We know our training and tools work - but only for those who take action. We know we're not perfect, but we never forget who keeps us in business, and we continue to evaluate the customer experience and how we can make it better. Thanks again, we encourage you to keep us posted with feedback and success!

This review is strictly related to the $500 question on paid for "positive reviews." We were offered $1000 cash back if we close a deal within the1st 6 months AND another $1000 credit towards tuition for another class, product... etc - I don't have the exact phrases - but it will be in your packet that explains the programs. Additionally, when you close a deal, if you post a short video and explain your deal, you get paid $. Why not pay your clients versus a marketing company to write their own reviews talking about the deals they close? I think it's an excellent idea. And I like the incentive too. About the "free" stuff - my TV ad that I called back was Scott Yancy - flipping Vegas. His ad stated free online for attending the 1.5 to 2 hour event. At the end of the meeting, we got a postcard item had pictured quite a number of materials related to flipping and other Scott Yancy specifics... On the card, a URL and passcode was provided. When several of us tried the link - the password and URL did not work. I contacted Response.com - they said the web sites for these items that Yancy promised, are not Response.com's responsibility to maintain - but all I needed to do is email them a screen shot and they will get it to the correct group. They took care of it. And yes, it seems the site was being updated with new materials, or at least some changes - and my code worked, and I got the items promised. No problem. Just be sure you have the card - so Response will know which freebie you were promised. In my case, I called a Scott Yancy number to sign up - I did not know it was going to be for Response.com - but I'm very happy with all but maybe 5% of my experience... a few admin hiccups when I added modules, and 1 speaker that was not having the best day perhaps... all was addressed to my satisfaction - with a simple conversation. NOTE: I can only speak of my personal experience and offerings - I have no idea if each bonus is the same for each group,level, or when those bonus items or post-your-deal incentives - may expire. Perhaps there are may flippers and others that advertise how to learn these items using their name, and links to Response.com. But I would rather work with a well established, well rounded company for building wealth - than focus on one vegas flip-star (no offense to Scott Yancy). So - as one older friend says, I'm happier than a dog with two tails.... I guess that's pretty happy....

MJ, Thank you so much for your review! We love to hear and share feedback like this with the team. We’re sorry to hear about your trouble with the free gifts and have confirmed with our fulfillment team that this was a temporary issue that has been fixed. We appreciate you calling in to let us know. We wanted to take a moment and clarify a couple things: (1) we don’t pay for positive reviews; we never have done this, and we never will. Based on your description, it sounds like you’re referring to a couple different programs we do from time to time: (a) tuition reimbursement and (b) done-a-deal. The primary objective of both of these programs is to motivate and inspire students to apply what they learn and get some deals done. We’ve done this for years and have worked with a ton of people. What we’ve found is that learning new things (i.e., investing in real estate) isn’t always as difficult as you might imagine. Instead, the most challenging part getting people to apply what they learn and make some offers. We understand that it can be scary. We know it’s not easy. But without making offers, you can’t expect to close any deals; if you don’t close deals, you won’t make money. Simple as that. We also use these programs to help track success rates. It may surprise you to hear that it can be challenging to get people to respond to surveys and provide proof of their deals. This is just one of the many ways we encourage our students to stay engaged and keep us informed throughout the process. Any positive review, opinion, perspective is entirely optional and not required. (2) Response works with many partners (i.e., Scott Yancey) to promote and provide financial-related education and event services. Focusing our business on the customer has allowed us to see hundreds of thousands of people over the past 10 years. We have over 500 employees and independent contractors who all want the same thing – 100% customer satisfaction. We encourage you and everyone else to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks again for your comments. We’re glad to hear you’re happier than a dog with two tails :)

It was good that subject matter like motivating individuals, money and taxation plus market analysis were all discussed by very talented and successful speakers.

The event was really helpful in many ways. The information delivered was extremely necessary for the beginning traders not only about trading theory, but also about asset protection, and taxes. The event setup and organized was really professional. All of the instructors were excellent in providing information, answering questions. I learned a lot from the event.

This is Barb, but I loved the program. I was a lit'l disappointed that it wasn't a lit'l more advanced. I think there should be prerequisites for the attendees for the Elite Retreat. Overall, you all did a great job! I would truely recommend this program.

Buying a house for yourself vs buying it for wholesale, rehab and flip or rental, are different matters. It is not difficult at all, but in order to be successful, one has to be aware of the in and out of real estate. The guidance of experienced people is always welcome, I am glad I joined response. One phone call and the staff/coaches are always ready to guide the students. Recently, my husband and I, attended a three days bootcamp in Utah, it was awesome!!!!! Different topics, different instructors. For me, it was difficult to say which one was better. They all shared a lot of valuable informacion with professionalism, good tactic and a little big of humor making the information sync in easily. I will recommend this company to anyone.

We learned quit a lot from most all of the speakers to help our business grow. It was well worth our trip. We got so much from Bud on Asset Protection and I expanded my knowledge from Matt. I am a visual learner so his explanations helped me. We picked up a lot of information from Sean on Tax liens. The negotiation segment was too long. Something that would have been very helpful would be getting funding. I will be watching for additional training opportunities.
