Dean Selvey’s rate went from $3,800 to $30,000. Those numbers are not typos. Dean no longer does business with them. I told my sales rep that I would not pay it and that I did not want “a special deal for me”. I wanted their rates put back where they were for everyone. They were supposed to call me. They didn’t call and I don’t believe they are going to call.<\/p>\n
I’ve been through this with them before. Several years ago I flew to Homestore and met with them and got them to put the rates back for everyone. It was the bizarre rates they wanted for posting virtual tours that time. The people I met with then are not there any longer. It is now called “Move”.<\/p>\n
They have a pattern of doing outrageous things to Realtors with their prices – this isn’t new. It is despicable.<\/p>\n
