BUYERS BEWARE!!! It all started when I was in invited to a free 90 minute seminar about a book. I thought I was going to see the author of the book and hear him talk but when I showed up it was someone else. He started talking a little bit about how to be a successful person but then the seminar turned into a real estate sales pitch. I had never been interested in real estate but I stayed because it sounded like a good business opportunity. He went on to selling a three day class where they teach how to invest in real estate using other people's money. This was $997 and I could take someone else with me so I bought it. The three day class was nothing but a high pressure sales pitch. The class was very complicated and way more information than one can possibly process in just a few days. They talked about all the different ways you could make money but they did not go into details. This class leaves everybody very confused, so they go ahead and sell you on another course that is a lot of money (we paid $30,000). They make empty promises and make you believe that you can make this money back in no time. This upgrade includes online classes, coaching and other things that really makes you think that $30,000 is nothing compared to what you could make. They put a lot of pressure into making you buy right there. They don't give you time to do research and they really emphasize that we didn't talk to each other. Now I realize that was because they didn't want us to share information. We bought the additional course and shortly after that we realized things were way more difficult that we thought. We watched all the videos, went to all the classes, webminars etc. I even took days off from work to really focus on real estate. I placed countess offers on properties and I was never able to get a deal done using their "formula". A few weeks after we received a call selling us additional coaching. With this package ($15,000) one of the most important things was that we were going to have a coach that will tell us exactly what to do to make our money back, so of course, we have come this far, might as well go all the way in and really make sure we do everything right. Well, this turned out to be an even bigger waste of money, but luckily after talking to their rude customer service team for hours we were able to get the additional $15,000 back. Part of the program included going to their headquarters in Utah to an event called The Deal Lab. This was supposed to be the best part. This is where we were supposed to learn the most, connect with other investors and really up our game. Well, I learned nothing new there, just a lot of more useless information and of course... more sales pitch. I could have easily spent over $15,000 more on this event but by this point I started to realized that the sales pitch where never going to end and I didn't buy anything else because it was feeling a lot like a scam to me. I connected with a lot of other students and realized that we are all on the same boat. Response over-promised and under-delivered. They made us feel like real estate investing is the best way to make money and that we were finally going to achieve financial freedom. But instead we are sinking in debt and struggling to pay all the fees and bills.

Total scam. Very disappointed. Although Scott Disick and Josh Altman were there, they didn't endorse the company. I was really disappointed that they would be there, knowing this is a scam. One speaker totally made the room feel like a piece of crap. Some people cant afford to do these things, then you rip them off? NOT COOL. I am going to blast this everywhere.

I paid for the online program($4,000.00). We attended 1 session, and decided the training program wasn’t very good. I asked for a refund and they gave us back 1,750.00. So essentially I made a $2,250.00 mistake by taking an introductory real estate course that I wasn’t satisfied with.

I went to this event with Kevin O'Leary, as the guest speaker. Don't waste your time, he talks for about 20 minutes. But that's not what this review is about. This review is about response. We signed up for both the real estate and stock class. As many other bad reviews stated, we were promised a lot of things that were not given. As someone younger, trying to make a life for myself, I think wasting a whole weekend for nothing but a sales pitch is unfair and a complete waste of 1K. I would really appreciate my money back, but this company only cares about taking that away from you. To the point where I've gotten multiple charges on my bank statement that I was never informed of. So let's start off with the real estate class. I walked in and it was a room full of wide-eyed excited people looking to change their life. And response really takes that and twists it. They talk to you so much about making the next move and setting things in motion and not continuing on the same life Journey that you're on now, but instead looking to a brighter future. All so that they can then tell you on day 3 to sign up for a $30,000 class. Isn't that funny? They said that they would have one-on-one meetings with us, so that they could talk to us about the next steps that they think would work best for us and our financial situation. But what they really meant was that they would sell us their extended class and that's all that they did with that meeting time. So if you're looking to the 3 day class in hopes that that one-on-one meeting will help you, it won't. Initially, we did sign up for the extended education. And even put some money down that we saved up. We later needed to cancel and messaged the event coordinator, jon. Who never got back to us, when reaching out again, all they said was ask the other guy, Jake. So we message the other guy, and they never got back to us (ever). So that whole "we will be on your side and supporting you and helping you"was just a bunch of talk. Anyway, we then had to message response themselves since the people that said there were there for us weren't. And the lady on the phone had the nerve to tell me they had a 3-day cancellation policy. After a quick argument on the phone, she said if we sent over the texts as proof, then we could get our down payment that we put on the class. So in case you are looking to sign up for any of their classes, just keep in mind that there is only a three day refund policy. Once we were told we could get our refund back, I asked if the software that they offer would also be canceled or if that was a different process. The lady said that she wasn't sure and someone would follow up with me. Lo and behold , nobody ever got back to me and when I checked my bank statements, there was the monthly subscription charge. I sent a message to them asking for it to be canceled and telling them the situation, they never bothered to get back to me. Another interesting thing that happened, they ask you if you want to get an LLC created with their partnered company. They say it's part of the package , but it's actually an additional 450 bucks. That they don't mention. I've opened up an LLC before, and did it for about 125. The speaker at the initial event mentioned that if we made a sale at the class and they would help us with that, that we would get refunded for the price of the initial class which was 1K. They mentioned that the only reason they even priced it so much was to make sure the only very interested parties could go and they would not waste their time with no shows. There's so many things wrong with everything I just said. The refund only applies if you make a sale within the first 6 months. But they did nothing to help us during the three-day class which is what was initially told to us. Maybe all of the sales speakers should get their info together before misinforming us. It feels that they only wanted people that could afford 1K on the spot so that they could later sell them for 30k. This whole situation seemed more like an extremely thought plan against hopeful people. From the extremely expensive classes to the scare tactic of giving limited-time offers, to the having Financial people there onsite to help you sign up for multiple credit cards just to pay for it, to the 3-day refund plan and all the additional extra payments, to even having the first lesson on their platform be about risk management, they have set everything up perfectly for people to fall into their trap, and have done everything they could to protect themselves. I guess we can move on to the stocks class. Again it was informative, about the basics. Our instructor even went as far to tell us about the things he couldn't talk to us about until we signed up for the classes. We went there hopefully yet again, thinking it was a smaller organization and more personal. But as the first and second day went on, it seems like exactly the same as the first time. We didn't even bother going the third day, even with all of the additional calls and messages from the sales people to come back or make it later in the day to sign up. Ultimately I'm taking the time to share my experience because people should not have to go somewhere so hopeful and be coaxed into something that will not benefit them . They take a lot of effort to mention that this isn't for everyone and that you really have to set your mind to it and do things in order to make it. But if I were to learn things on my own with a couple mentors that may or may not get back to me, then I can just keep my money instead of paying 30k. Their customer service is awful, they choose who they want to get back to, they pay people for their good reviews. In fact that's the only way to really get your initial refund back. There might be someone in their PR department responding back to this message, but I really don't care because it's basically a cookie cutter response of them defending themselves. So, do what we didn't do, and don't do this.

Look. I have a lot to say, but I'm just going to start by sharing their own disclosure - from their actual website - below: "We do not sell a business opportunity, “get rich quick” program, or money-making system. We believe, with education, individuals can be better prepared to make investment decisions, but we do not guarantee success in investing. We do not make earnings claims, efforts claims, return on investment claims, or claims that our training will make you any money. We are not a real estate expert or investment expert, and it is highly recommended that you consult with appropriate licensed experts before engaging in investing-related transactions. We are an educational company that provides training concerning the real estate industry. However, it is assumed that most customers do not apply the needed effort and time, or do not acquire the skills, to complete transactions successfully and, therefore, most clients do not make money." With that out of the way, I'll describe my experience. My mom reached out to me asking if I wanted to join her for a 3-day real estate class. She's my mom, and I wanted to support her, so of course I took the few days off work and joined. I was actually excited. I thought I might learn something, or at least be inspired to try something new. But it quickly became apparent that this was not a class. It was a 3-day sales pitch. I knew something was up when I couldn't find a brand name anywhere on their material. But fortunately, the speaker told us the brand name, Response, toward the end of the day. And as soon as I got home, I looked them up. And when I looked them up, I saw some truly disgusting things. For all of the reviews on this site to be 1-star or 5-star, I knew something was up. Response clearly invests heavily in monitoring sites like these to respond to any negative commentary with things like "students must take action" and "this isn't for everyone". And they invest heavily in making sure the reviews on here are positive - real or not. The 1-star reviews are spot on. Back to the class. The speaker shared some helpful information, but all of that information was blanketed on either side with a sales pitch to sign up for more training or join their "diamond elite club" They use high pressure sales tactics and works like "urgency" and "decision" to get you to make an uninformed decision on the spot without doing any research into their company. And what truly made me sad was that it works. Most of the students (at least in my class) were a little older, and certainly didn't seem like the type to look into a company like this online. So they legit don't know any better and ultimately end up spending money they probably don't have. And in the case of someone like me and my mom? Someone who says "no"? they totally dismiss you. If they realize they can't sell you on the "advanced training" then they're done with you. We didn't get a 1-on-1 we were promised because we didn't want to buy the additional training. But I mean...didn't we still pay for the 3-day workshop that includes a 1-on-1 session? I wish I could spread this word to the people taking this class that won't read these reviews. Because honestly, what this company does, they should be ashamed of themselves. A few highlights: - Day 1 they have you fill out a sheet with your financial info. They tell you it's to figure out how you can do GAP funding, but it's really just so they can see if you can afford the additional training - They also have you sign up for CreditNav so they can check your credit. Again, under the guise of "building your plan". They didn't tell any of the students that they'd be signed up for a $30/month payment after 7 days. And if I didn't read the fine print on the site, I certainly wouldn't have known. - Again, because this is important, THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT REAL ESTATE EXPERTS. THEY ARE SALESPEOPLE. - They don't allow recordings or photos. Makes sense as it's a class that people are paying for, but their reaction to a person taking a photo of notes in my session was outrageous. They yelled at her (a grown woman) and told her to turn her phone off. - At one point, they show reviews on their website. I went to the website outside of class - you can't click on any of the reviews. And you can't even leave your own review (???) I think that's all I got. Oh, and they'll certainly respond to this because they have a social team dedicated to keeping their reputation good online. I mean, at the end of the day, I didn't buy anything and my mom didn't buy anything. We just wasted 3 days of our lives. ***UPDATE*** I just looked up all of our real estate expert trainers from the class on Linkedin. They're all in sales. None of them indicated any experience in real estate lol.

This company is a scam and i am requesting my refund for $997.I attended the workshop this weekedn of 4th to 5th May. everything they promised at the initial event was not delivered.they offered to give us enough information to go out there and do deals.they said they will givve information about TAX LIENS,which the instructor didnt say nothing about it.they even offered to give access to a website that shows the tax liens but non of that was offered.they lied to u to fill out a form about GAP funding only to find out later they jut wanted to know how much money we have so they can tell us to pay more for the extra resources and mentorship.it was funny that the cost of the mentorship was equal the exact amount i had written on the sheet of paper.secondly they promised access to deal desk which was supposed to calculate for you about the property and ti show if the deal is worth it.deal desk doent show non of that.it just pulls out random details that doesn't show the value of the property or if the deal is good or not.they promise one thing just to entice people but dont deliver none of that.

I went to a free seminar in Denton, Texas with a friend. Yes, it happened we were sucked in. On Friday after doing my credit score, which sucks, hence why I’m at a seminar to help me get funding to change my current situation, with The seminars are adhd at its finest. At, any point the speaker Brian is talking fast, clicking on all responses services that You think your getting access toowith your 1000 dollars. To, find out middle of day 2 you need 28;000 dollars for that info. I’m sitting in real-time May 4,2019 at 11 pm at night in a Sheraton hotel in ft worth ,TX to discover I have been scammed. I will be asking for a refund in the morning before I leave and enjoy my day with my husband and not sitting in another class, to be belittled, to be told, are you gonna hold onto old cheese? Shame on you team, shame on you response or whatever your name is, you are no better than the people who call the elderly and scam them on the phone out of there money. I pray God finds mercy on you and this company and you do not pay the same consequences as King Solomon. Be blessed and be a blessing Bridgett Horn.

There's no response button here so I'll just write another review. Your response is empty and unprofessional and hiring someone like you to sit behind a computer and write these defensive responses only makes the company look worse. Arguing with honest reviewers online is not a very good PR move... just saying. But I'm glad that you did this, as it will serve as a red flag to others (most people are sensible enough to know that most legitimate businesses don't behave this way). You can keep going back and forth if you'd like, but I'm not backing down. I'm here to help others and prevent hardworking Americans from wasting $1K to learn only the most BASIC information about wholesaling (information that is readily available online for FREE). You're actually charging people $1K to sit in a room and listen to your sales pitch for a $25-30K "class." Bottom line is, your $1K, 3-day course is a ripoff and a scam. I explained in full detail why it's a scam and my opinion was based on my own perception - what I saw and heard with my own eyes and ears. So you telling me to do more research before I write a review... well, that's just a cute little tactic you use to try to discredit honest reviews. I hope that others see through this, heed my warnings, and go spend that $1K on something that will actually benefit them in some way. How can you say you don't pay for reviews when one of your "mentors," Keir, just offered us $500 for a review at your seminar just this past weekend? His exact words were "we offer $500 for a review because your feedback means a lot to us" as he circled the number on a piece of paper. There are hundreds of dissatisfied customers all over the internet speaking out about how your company put them into tens of thousands of dollars in debt with no results. Your response has only inspired me to continue to speak out on behalf of others. Thanks for that!
