While there certainly is room for improvement at the BBB, there are very few things that can give an owner or property manager the sense that they are dealing with a legitimate business.

my problem with the bbb is they dont dop any thing to help with fraud at all i have used them on items i have bought on line and they send me forms i fill them out and nothing -one problem i had was a company i used that charged me 49.99 for two month on my credit card when i didnt sign up for there service reported them and the company that charged me sent me a notice saying they made a mistake by the bb did not nothing even when i report the fraud to them i would not have had the charges reversed if i had not called the law to begin with –i just feelit is a waste of money except for the local networking part

I think it does help. We had several hundred people run a BBB report last year not to mention thouands of landlords and property managers that saw the icon when they considered listing a rental with us. Also, I think it is just one more thing that separates legitimate listing sites from some of the others. Â

i agree with dave -however i dont charge on my site so there is no need for fraud -if i did charge, i would invoice the customer not the person looking for the home -i have been a member in the past with other companies and found that some times the networking in the local level is great

I think it is really expensive.

If you find out it helps you conversion let me know.
