    in 2024 I entered into an agreement with this company for real estate services. As part of the agreement I was to receive 6 months free lead services. From the beginning their system did not work properly. I was supposed to take leads and automate a bunch of process. It did no such thing. After a few months I asked to cancel my contract due to the services not being what was promised. I was threatened with legal action and required to do an account review with their rep. He went through the account, admitted that it was an internal issue and that it should not have taken months to fix. he assured me that he could correct it if I just gave them more time. At this point I had refused to pay them for 2 months to get help. They made me agree to 6 more months. after agreeing they informed me that the free lead service would not be honored and that I was out of luck. Since then I have had no one follow up with me to get the issue fixed and to this day their system still doesn't work but the charged me every month. When I signed up they said I was 2 minutes away from driving a higher ROI on my business. here I am almost a year later and my business is far worse than it was because of them. They are preying on real estate agents and betting that non one will fight them or their legal team.

    We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the complaint filed by ***********. We are disappointed to hear that *********** is dissatisfied with our services, and we would like to provide a detailed account of the events to clarify the situation.

    Our records indicate that *********** entered into a services agreement with our company. We have consistently provided the services and support outlined in our contract. The core of this complaint appears to be based on several key misunderstandings and a misrepresentation of events.


    Clarifying the Automation and System Issues

    When *********** first began using our platform, he was given the option to enable automated features, which he actively opted out of. Sometime later, he expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of automation. Our account representative offered to conduct a detailed review of his account to address both the automation and any "other things" he claimed were not working correctly. However, *********** declined this offer, stating that it wasn't worth his time to work on it. This contradicts his claim that we were unwilling to fix the issues.


    The Lead Promotion

    The agreement for our core services is entirely separate from the promotional lead contract. The initial 6-month lead promotion was provided to *********** completely free of charge as a bonus. His contract for our core services did not include a permanent free lead service. When we ended the free lead promotion, we offered alternative lead packages, but he refused.


    Current Account Status

    Our records show that we have been in contact with ***********. He has been working directly with our Loyalty Team to manage his account. He has provided us with a 30-day notice of cancellation, which aligns with the terms of his contract. His cancellation will be effective on 10/1/2025, at the end of his term, as requested.


    We have always strived to provide excellent service and have made multiple attempts to resolve any concerns *********** had with his account. His assertions that we have not followed up and that his system still doesn't work are inaccurate. We have been actively engaged with him to ensure a smooth transition out of our services.


    We have been transparent throughout this process and have fulfilled all our contractual obligations. We believe this complaint stems from a misunderstanding of his service agreement and the temporary promotional offer he received. We are confident that we have acted in good faith and have made every reasonable effort to support ***********.

    I am submitting this complaint regarding BoldTrail and its Leads360 seller lead program, which I joined in February 2025 while using their CRM through my brokerage. From the start, my experience has been poor—marked by inadequate follow-up, support, and performance.

    Despite paying $1,500/month for what was marketed as a high-touch lead system with “certified lead specialists,” over 200 calls were attempted with only one resulting in a potential lead. Most calls were labeled as “Call Failed.” Many were made at inappropriate times, and the callers ignored CRM notes, failed to acknowledge my prior outreach, and ultimately hurt my reputation in the market.

    This was supposed to help my business, but instead, it made me appear unprofessional. Promised oversight and audits never occurred until I personally raised concerns—well after issues had caused damage. That delay is unacceptable and unprofessional.

    As of July 1, 2025, I no longer have access to BoldTrail due to a brokerage-wide switch to Lofty. I received only one vague call afterward, stating they would “check if my email was active.” No meaningful resolution or transition support followed.

    I am formally requesting the following:

    Cease all billing effective July 31, 2025.

    Consider this matter closed with no further financial obligations.

    Acknowledge that the service did not meet expectations.

    Given the poor execution, failure to deliver promised value, and my transition to a new CRM, I should not be charged further for a product I cannot use and that harmed my business.

    Business Response

    Date: 07/28/2025

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

    We’re sorry to hear that the Leads360 program did not meet your expectations. Our goal is always to provide high-quality lead support, and we regret that this was not your experience.

    After reviewing your account, we have verified that you no longer have access to BoldTrail due to your brokerage’s transition to a different CRM platform on July 1, 2025. In light of that, we have processed the cancellation of your Leads360 service and confirmed that no further billing will occur beyond July 31, 2025.

    While we regret that the program did not provide the value you hoped for, we do appreciate your feedback. We use input like yours to help identify opportunities for improvement across our support and delivery models.

    We consider this matter resolved but welcome further conversation if there are any additional concerns.

    I enrolled in the 360 ************* with Inside Real Estate on December 1, 2024, based on assurances that I would receive 4050 quality seller leads per month. Additionally, I was informed that their ***************** team would work on 50 leads per month and had a strong track record of lead conversion. However, nearly three months into the service, I have encountered numerous frustrations, including:-The service providing highly inaccurate property valuations.-The concierge team calling leads at inappropriate times and failing to respond promptly.-A lack of attention to messages from leads, resulting in missed opportunities.-Potential harm to my professional reputation due to ineffective lead handling.-The company is highly misleading in what they offer versus what is actually delivered.-There is no customer service phone number availablecommunication has been entirely via email, with extremely slow response times.I have raised these concerns multiple times with my account manager, ******, but have only received vague explanations and excuses rather than tangible solutions. Given the lack of results, I requested to cancel my contract. However, I was contacted by *******, who refused to release me from the agreement unless I paid a buyout fee equivalent to two months of service ($3,000 USD), despite the fact that the promised level of service has not been delivered. Furthermore, I was informed that there is no higher authority to escalate my concerns to, which I find difficult to accept.I have also attempted to reach out to ******, the salesperson who sold me the product, but he is now brushing me off and unwilling to assist.I would appreciate your guidance on how this matter can be resolved in a fair and reasonable manner. Given the circumstances, I believe a contract termination without penalty would be the most appropriate course of action. Please let me know how we can move forward. Money paid to the business is in USD

    On September 1, 2024, I submitted an email outlining complaints about my website and requested assistance in resolving the issues. Following the email, I made multiple calls regarding the matter but was unable to reach a representative.

    On November 20, an account manager contacted me and resolved some of the issues, but not all. A week later, on November 27, I received an email stating that an IRE support case had been issued. On December 4, I stopped making payments until the issues were resolved.

    On December 10, I received an email stating that my account had been locked due to overdue payments. Later, on December 23, a customer loyalty specialist contacted me. I explained my concerns, and he acknowledged the issues. While he made some revisions, many of the same problems remain unresolved despite my repeated emails and complaints.

    I am extremely dissatisfied with the customer service, the company's handling of issues, and the lack of communication and effort to resolve them. I ultimately made the payments because it was unprofessional for my business to advertise a non-functional website. However, even now, my website is not professionally displayed. Before I even noticed all the errors, there were misspellings and spacing issues in the content. Additionally, my last name has changed, and despite informing the company, some content still reflects my previous last name. Furthermore, a new agent has joined our team, yet her information has not been added to the website.

    I have no issue making payments when services are provided as promised, but that has not been the case.

    I have supporting emails but the files are too large to upload.

    Business Response

    Date: 02/07/2025

    The company appreciates the customer reaching out and sharing their concerns. It understands the importance of having an accurate and professional website and regrets any frustration the situation may have caused.

    To clarify, the Support Team has been in regular contact with the customer, providing guidance, articles, and assistance on how to make the necessary updates to their website. The platform is designed to allow users to manage their own content, including adding agents, updating text, and making other modifications. The ability for users to make these updates independently was outlined during the sales process, and there was no indication that the company would be responsible for implementing these changes on the customer’s behalf under the current package.

    However, recognizing that some users may prefer a more hands-on level of support, the company offered to adjust the customer’s package—keeping the cost the same while providing access to a higher level of support. Additionally, the company proposed compensatory time with its Done For You Service Team to assist with making these updates, but the customer declined these options.

    While the company regrets that the customer is dissatisfied with its services, it believes appropriate expectations were set from the beginning and that multiple avenues have been provided to address the concerns. Given these factors, the company does not find cause for an early termination of the agreement.

    The company remains committed to assisting the customer in making the necessary updates and welcomes the opportunity to revisit the previous offers to help resolve these matters efficiently.

    Complaint: ********


    I am rejecting this response because my website still does not reflect the professionalism and excellence I was promised. The customer service I have received has been subpar. It is unacceptable to pay for services that have not been properly delivered. While I was given options, none effectively resolved the issues with my website.

    I am not a technical person, which is why, during my initial conversation with the sales representative, I emphasized the need for ongoing assistance with any issues that might arise. Even if I knew how to access the back office to make changes, I was informed by the sales manager that I would not be able to modify certain documents displayed on the website due to formatting restrictions.




    Sincerely,

    I have fulfilled my one year contract with them but they are refusing to cancel my account. I realized I was auto renewed a month ***** and tried to terminate in December. My first email to terminate was on Dec. 12. I then was told to email my account manager. I emailed and called My account Manager Jeremey S***** and explained the situation to him on Dec. 13. I also had an email to billing on Dec. 13 to let them know we are cancelling. I was assured by Jeremy before Christmas this would be taken care of for Jan Billing. Here we are now getting billed. I have since cancelled the credit card as my small business can not afford to be locked into another year long contract with this company. I have subsequent emails on 1/4,1/8,1/10 and 1/13 all explaining the termination. I am told we are in a que and they will get to it when they can get to it. This is unacceptable. Please help me get this account closed.

    Business Response

    Date: 01/22/2025

     A review of the records has confirmed that the account was renewed in September 2024, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, which includes a 14-month commitment extending the renewal date to November 2025.
    No formal cancellation request was received prior to the renewal date.

    As outlined in the agreement, cancellations must be submitted within the appropriate notice period to avoid automatic renewal.

    Additionally, it has been observed that payments on the account have not been received, resulting in delinquent status. Continued non-payment constitutes a material breach of contract, which may lead to the closure of the account and further action as specified in the agreement terms.

    I started a lead generation package with Inside Real Estate on 4th September 2024 for a six-month contract. As per the agreement, Inside Real Estate promised to deliver a specific number of leads through social media advertising, with their concierge team validating these leads for me.

    However, based on my experience, I realized that the concierge team’s validation is often inaccurate, making it a waste of time. Additionally, they have been unable to generate the number of active leads they initially claimed. After two months of poor results, I informed their sales team about these issues but continued to pay for another two months. In total, I have paid for four months without receiving any tangible benefits.

    I humbly request that you take the necessary action to immediately stop advertising on my behalf and cease further billing. Inside Real Estate has not fulfilled the promises made at the outset of the contract.

    I am a real estate agent and am filing this complaint due to the mis***resentation of services and deceitful practices of Inside Real Estate/KVCore. When first contacted by Mr. ***** on May 1, 2024, I informed him that I was not comfortable signing an entire year's agreement. Mr. *** informed me that he would be agreeable to a 6-month contract and followed up with an email to confirm. Shortly afterwards, I received a call from Mr. *** advising that he would need my signature ASAP in order to affirm the 6-month agreement with the company and emailed a form, with a visible signature line only, requesting my signature while on the phone with him. Once signed, I did not hear from Mr. *** again; however, received a copy of the agreement for a total of 12-months instead of our agreed 6-month term from the company's customer service ********** was only the beginning of more headaches to come with Inside Real Estate. After several weeks and no leads as promised, so contacted a customer service **** The *** explained that I would need to purchase the Lead 360 program for an additional cost of $1,100 per month. To date, I have not received one qualified or viable lead. The leads have been bogus and many of the contacts had no interest in purchasing or selling real estate, several are ***eated phone numbers with different names and do not match the given phone number. I have received numerous leads with criminal backgrounds, some with serious felonies, and have kept a record of each. The exorbitant monthly costs have caused a financial hardship for myself due to the fraudulent leads as well as fear for my safety. For all the reasons mentioned above, I believe that Inside Real Estate has breached both contracts as I trusted in this company to provide the services promised to its' customers. I am requesting an immediate termination of both contracts as well as full compensation for all monies I have spent for Inside Real Estate's breach of agreed upon services.

    In reviewing of the Sales call with Ms. ******** with her *********************** He did outline that it was a 12 month agreement. The 6 months he was speaking of in the call was attached to a promotion he was telling her about. Additionally, our e-sign contracts absolutely have the functionality that allows our customers to read their contracts before they sign them. As per Ms. ********** lead generation service, we have reviewed the leads she has sent us with criminal backgrounds and were unable to find those names she supplied to us within her database, however, even if we did have the ability, we would not be able to screen based on background checks as that is a violation of the Fair Housing Act. We are able to see leads that our concierge service has marked as conversation ready within her system so our concierge team has spoken to folks who have expressed interest in buying or selling real estate in the future. Due to our research of the concerns expressed by Ms. ********* we will not be able to release her mid-agreement.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    It is evident by so many similar complaints regarding Inside Real Estates (IRE) misrepresentation of their services to customers that further warrants my complaint.  Unfortunately, I understand that verbal agreements cannot stand legally but I do stand by my verbal agreement with Mr. ***** ******** as I clearly recall.  Also, I have documented proof that I have received numerous leads with criminal background from IRE, and several with serious felonies.  This is extremely concerning and a WARNING ?? to other *** customers.  Otherwise, I have only received fraudulent and unqualified leads from ***.  ALSO, I have relayed all correspondence with ***, as well as my complaint to the Better Business Bureau to my real estate managing broker.  
    Sincerely,

    ***** ********

    InsideRe refused to render services due. I paid for a subscription to use a custom domain on the Kvcore platform, after weeks of reminding them daily, I decided to cancel my subscription and have since been ghosted. I've filled out forms, emailed support, texted support and no response.I was never provided the services I paid for and now I can't even cancel.

    KvCore is such a SCAM. They lock agents into contracts that you’re unable to get out of after they fail to hold up their end of the contract. First we launched our website and there were so many errors. Then the IDX feed wasn’t pulling any listings in. We noticed our profile pictures were covered up by our company logo on our websites. Then we paid for the 360 Leads back in MARCH and have not received one qualified lead. They are all worthless or renters. Things were a lot better with Lofty (Chime). We closed 3 deals with their Google leads. KvCore offered us a discount for four months and I had no clue the free month they gave me at the beginning added another TWO months of services to our contract.

    KvCore has lied and misrepresented their services since the start of this contract and we have spent months "allowing" them fix the issues. Yet they are constantly walking back on what services they are providing. Example: we paid for services that generate "leads" when addressed the leads were replaced with coupon codes yet the codes were invalid and we were unable to use. They offered us a discount for two months and some additional services and then (without sharing until asked) that the acceptance of this added another YEAR of services added to our contract.

    After researching the issue this customer had with our Property Boost product and the interactions with our Support Team, we have deemed that the experience they had with the product and our team does not live up to the expectations we have set as a company. Because of the poor experience this customer has experienced, we will be refunding the Property Boost(s) the customer paid for July 2024 - now. We also agreed to a mid contract cancellation date of 10/1/2024 instead of waiting for the customer's renewal date of 12/1/2024.
