DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY.

I would suggest no REALTOR EVER work with this organization... Downpayment.org has the worst customer service, is very unresponsive, inconsiderate and will charge your account even when you ask them to stop. 

I have tried to get a phone call from the company for over 3 months, have made over 15 phone calls, sent over a dozen emails and even left voice mails with NAEA and anywhere else, NO 1 PHONE CALL. 

When you talk to customer service if you have the slightest question outside of their little box they claim they will have someone call you back. They never will - EVER...

You can ask for their Manager, they are very nice "please hold" you wait about 1 min them they hang up on you. 

We have file complaints (here in Calif) with CAR, DRE, however, we know these organizations do not regulate internet marketing. Our next step this week is to file a complaint with the FTC not sure how far that will go. 

We have filed a CIVIL Court case locally but it will take months to resolve since they are not in California. 

IF ANYONE IS LOOKING TO WORK WITH THESE GUYS, CALL ME... LET ME GIVE YOU THE REAL SCOPE . HERE IS MY NUMBER THEY NEVER WILL CALL IT BUT YOU CAN 951-678-9195...
