Realtor.comReviews 717

There is no way that the management of Realtor.com ever tried it on a real computer. I'm guessing the developers gave a PowerPoint presentation and the suits all gave approval without ever trying it. There is no excuse in 2016 for a website to lockup Internet Explorer. While looking for a $500K house the site to forever to do searches and locked up several times. It all seems to be related to the third party advertisements. I don't want to buy f**king shoes (one ad was for shoes) I want to find a $500K house you idiots! You lost my commission. Hope the site causes them many lost sales.

I do not understand why there was a Ned to change this app. Limited filters and today I find even less. No map today. When there is a map it is not as robust. Before I could zoom in on a property to see how the house sat on the lot. I could move the map around to see nearby towns and lakes etc. The whole thing is very cumbersome to use. As an investor I go to Zillow to get more info now and I don't like Zillow. Please pull this code and reinstall the code from 2 months ago. This is killing your reputation.

As a realtor who just signed on for inquiries to be sent to me@ over $50 each, I am now seeing how Realtor.com has consumers fleeing to competitor sites because their search app is unusable! Given the number of complaints saying the same thing, why is that company not ditching the bad software? Instead, their advertisers and consumers are having to ditch. Who runs these businesses that are so stubborn they don't listen to repeated feedback? Self-sabatoging Corporations?
Update August 2016 --I have been caught in the back and forth disputing the charges. The arrangement I made with my rep Eltrya was for a one-time payment of $1290, for Exclusive Leads at 4x/monthly. Instead, I have been receiving varying charges of $180 to now $215 monthly--having to continuously dispute these. After receiving 2 leads over the last 2 months (the first being a $90k mobile home when avg sales price is low $200ks), and conflicting responses from customer service, I saw the writing on the wall and I cancelled. One email from the company stated the first lead was not exclusive, followed by other reps stating it was?! I liked doing business with them before all the changes that have occurred. Disappointing, since I was hoping to continue having a good arrangement like I did in past years.

I used to use this app all the time. I am in the process of looking for a house and am more of a DIY buyer. I hate this new app! Why?

It has gremlins in the code. I do all my filtering and it comes back with a reasonable list that looks right, say 47 homes that match. So I start to click on one and see that it really is not for me, in the mean time it reloads and I end up with 480 or so.
It is totally unpredictable when it will happen but it is a lot.
Also used to ride around and see a house for sale. I would turn it on and it would find That house automatically. Not anymore.
My realtor and many others told me this site is better than Zillow... it used to be because it was more accurate. Now it is simply unusable.

My real estate agent cringed every time I mentioned using Zillow.com. So in order to appease the evil looks I started using realtor.com. What a piece of garbage. They must have outsourced the coding to India. So what are the problems you ask?
1. The pages take forever to load the content. The are so concerned that they make sure that the select the correct ads for display that it takes forever for the algorithm so complete the selection process and THEN you have to wait for literally 15-20 seconds for the content to be downloaded. By that time even grandma has hit the search button a couple of times.
2. once you select a property from your list you go through the same thing with the ads and you screen locks up causing you to have to restart your browser and go to Zillow where you should have been looking in the first place

Good Luck with getting people to move to realtor.com
