There is a lot wrong at United Response, for many years the experience was positive until management changed. Bullying is rude, poor practice, nepotism and targeting whistleblowers. Incompetence and poor practice are routinely covered up and to call them a disability "charity" is ironic

Where do I start? $45,000 in debt and I've never even received a phone call back when I needed it the most. My $11,000 mentor left halfway though my journey to pursue better things and no one in my group has had any success. The worst part is when you don't have 30k for the course, they open multiple credit cards for you and max them out telling you you'll make it back in a couple of months of sales. Yeah, maybe if you're a veteran in the business. I was over 30k in credit card debt, and covid was the only thing that saved me. Otherwise, I would have been in bankruptcy. There are so many other avenues to learn wholesaling, but this company is not one of them. 100% scam, stay as far away as possible!

My husband and I attended the Josh Altmann Real Estate class in 2019 in Phoenix, Az. It was with the Target redemption program 20.00 with a 20. purchase and send in receipt to them. I did just that and they sent back the 20. for a few months. The last months which add up to 100. they have never sent and I sent in all the receipts and I have copies of them. I have contacted them numerous times by phone and email and it has been ignored. I am not happy with this situation and I feel he/them should live up to their promise and the mailing that was sent out to go to seminar. My husband and I have several properties and wanted to see if we could learn something new. That was the reason we attended, and the Target redemption sweeten the deal. Thank you Doris Ramos

They lied about their "success" rate , Plus they had several other Lawsuits under a different names ..One called NUDGE LLC and also ME INCOME ESSENTIALS . It was Basically a Bait and Switch ...They talked to us for 3 days about Generational Wealth and all sorts of Wonderful ways to make a lot of money in the Real Estate business , when it came down to it ..After they find your "Lazy Money" .. They pry about any money that you could possibly have available ,including getting New Credit and running it up to the Max ! Leaving you Bankrupt , Stressed out and IF you had a House they would have you take out your equity on it and give it to them ..or any 401Ks ..Pretty much 100% Guarantee that you'd be kick starting your new career in No time .With a 96% success rate.After pretty much 20,000 in debt to these people and Now several credit cards Maxed out ! NIGHTMARE !!! They should be locked up !

Trash. They ignore my calls. They ignore my emails, but they’ll gladly send me their emails for enrollment. They just ghost you once they got your money & on to the next.

On may 22, 2019 we assisted to a free class of marketing as that was the way it was being advertised on youtube. It ended up the biggest scams of our lives. We paid $1,000 for a three day course where we would know a software and all the best secrets in real estate, we were actually really excited as they would always say “you’ll get your money back in less than a month following our secrets” we went to the course and the guy who gave it was pretty aggressive so we thought wow this must really works, over the three days they showed us how they found off the market deals, how they fixed and flipped properties and some other stuff… we were at that moment amazed and got excited with each passing day everyday they were saying that we should book the whole experience for a total of $30,000, we were so excited that we paid for the thirty grand because once again they showed “real” results on clients that recovered the 30k in less than a month… so we paid for the full amount and we invited a friend because we thought this would be really good we were so excited we watched all the online courses, made the marketing campaigns, we designed presentation cards, called thousands of realtors and cash buyers made hundreds of listings but nothing was working and when we called the everytime the answer was “once you go to Utah, you'll know what to do” and there was different people that we called that replied the same or everything was “we can’t do that for you, you need to look it up yourself” so we as nayib that we were we were thinking how could we get like a personalized training, and suddenly they called us because they had an special offer just for us because they saw how interested we were in learning that we had to pay an additional 30k but this will grant us access to a “private mentory line” we were thrilled with this, we didn't hesitate on doing it and once again we paid the 30k… once we went to utah the whole week was a waste of money and time all we did was hear a lot of theory of how things worked on real estate, the history of real estate and how they are changing stuff, and also they were taking advantage of the hype we all had to sell and sell different “packages” of different companies that we need it to be at the top of everything so we had all the equipments to get everything done, we also paid an additional 10k for another company at the end we noticed this was just the biggest week of sales for them, because of course they would get a commission for every person that signed up in each different service… we were a little concerned because we didn't saw present cases just past examples… at this point we were concerned that we had paid over 60k and wouldn't be as valuable as they said it would be… we came back to florida and started working again, making phone calls and getting excited but everytime we called to a new place they rejected the offer… and the personalized line that was also a lie because everytime we had a scheduled called he would only ask how were we doing and saying well you should spend more money on marketing, on october we asked for a change of mentor and they changed it to a guy named Nathan but he never made a follow up on us… he made only three calls and then they changed the whole system to online classes… that was not what we paid for so we started asking for a refund… They gave us a refund of $9,000 because we said that we didn't want him to fly to Miami neither we wanted to go to Utah again because at this point we knew we were scammed and that we had lost lots and lots of money. At the beginning they gave us some satisfaction warranty once we sent over all the requirements, they changed the requirements and for us to meet this requirements would have been impossible because we were past the deadline,

SCAM - Run as fast as you can. The FTC began a lawsuit against them in November 2019 because they are scamming people out of their life savings - Google it. They teach you how to wholesale and that is about it. You can learn everything you need to know from your local Real Estate Investment Association. Every state has one. Look it up online. Join your local wholesaling and real estate investing groups on Facebook to learn more about wholesaling. RESPONSE will have you filing for bankruptcy if you are not careful! I'm in over $40k and it will take me years to get this paid off. COMPLETE RIP OFF!!!! I'd like to do a class action suit against them!

This company is a fraud. If you value your money, stay away. They claim 92% success rate. After having 0 success following their program, we reached out to other people who enrolled with us in the same program. Same result: 0 success for 17 other individuals/partnerships. Don't do it. These people are the BEST sales people in the world and they will do anything to sell you snake oil and then up sell you on more snake oil. Updated 4/21/20 Wow! Your reply to this review is faster than when we've contacted the company directly! Also, it's interesting you've replied to this short review but still haven't replied to our official complaint through the Better Business Bureau which was submitted over 2 weeks ago! Additionally, your “records” are either blatant lies or this company simply doesn't keep records of anything. We first called into the Advisory Line in late August or early September of 2019 with a software issue so we were transferred to your IT department where the women repeatedly refused to help us. This was one of several experiences that have made us distrust this company. Furthermore, it is simply laughable that representatives of this company are trying to say we've logged into the software only once! Everyone who attends your trainings logs in multiple times just during the days of those trainings! Seriously, it's laughable that you confirm we attended the trainings but are trying to say we've logged into your software only once! That's just ridiculous! On top of that, I could show you lists of both properties & cash buyers I exported from the software to my laptop all throughout August, September, & November of 2019 as well as January of 2020. So we'll ask again: Can anyone from this company explain to us why Response sales representative, Jake Dean, claimed what appear to be false success rates? Before we signed up, he told us 92% of Diamond Tour participants complete one deal within 2.5 months. Then, of those 92%, 85% go on to complete a second deal. And finally, of those 85%, 96% go on to complete a third deal. Yet, here is the reality: almost eight months after purchasing Response's Diamond Tour program and following their instruction, we have yet to complete a deal in real estate. In fact, we've attempted to contact all of our fellow Diamond Tour attendees and here are the ACTUAL SUCCESS RATES: --of our group, seven individuals or partnerships have not made any offers & therefore have not completed any real estate deals. --of our group, another 19 of us individuals or partnerships have made 320 offers with only two completed wholesale or assignment deals & one rental property acquired. Three real estate deals completed out of 320 offers made is a success rate of 0.9375%! One individual completed the two wholesale/assignment deals & one partnership successfully acquired the one rental property, so let's look at those percentages. Two of our 19 investors having some success is a mere 10.53%--nowhere near the claimed 92% success rate! Please note: these 19 investors are attempting to invest all across the USA in TN, CA, AZ, MS, AR, FL, NC, TX, GA, MD, CT, AL, and OR. Representatives of this company lied to us & made false claims in order to get us to purchase their Diamond Tour program.

Hi Juan, we're sorry to hear you are unhappy with your experience. We have reached out to offer additional help. As you are aware, we are and education and training company. As with all education, the educator can provide the instruction, material, and resources, but if the student fails to fully utilize at their disposal and apply what they learn, their chances of success are low. Our records show you attended events and rated them highly. However, we only see you calling into our advisory line one time (not for help - to cancel). We also show you logging into the real estate software one time and viewing less than 10% of the online education courses available. Our records also show that you acknowledged, on many occasions over the course of two months, that you understood that, like all investing, we cannot guarantee results. In fact, we even went as far as to say if you expect that our training is guaranteed to make you money, do not buy. We sell education and training - we do not sell a system guaranteeing success or make claims that our training will make you any money. In the event there was any confusion, we also included an explanation of how to interpret satisfaction ratings and directed you to learn more about our trainings and applicable satisfaction and results at our website. Furthermore, your official complaint we received last week said that some members of your class did complete transactions. Now, in your complaint above, you're claiming nobody did... While we're saddened to hear that you feel the way you do, we know that our education, tools, and support are effective - we've seen it work for many of our customers if/when they utilize everything in the program and lean on us for help. We encourage you to do the same and respond to our offer to work closer with you to develop a plan to complete and implement your training, so that you can give yourself a fighting chance at success.
