Anyone heard of realpro?

Has anyone done business with "realpro"? I'm interested in a property they have, but not sure if they're on the up and up. I receive daily emails from them. It seems like they're wholesalers on some deals and others seem to be listed. You can never be too sure these days, so I thought I would put it out to all of you. I appreciate any response if you have any experience and/or knowledge of this company.
@Diane Calderaro I did not complete any transaction with them before but I did reach out to one of their agents to inquire several properties that they listed. The agent did not seem pushy at all, just answered my questions directly, and never tried to contact me non-solicited. If you found any interesting listing on their website, you just need to register for a free account and ask your questions away.
The fact that real pro has to right a page trying to explain should tell you something. They tried to sale me a property they did not own or control. Read one of their contracts. You will see how gangster they are.
This statement is inaccurate. Please look up Wayne County register of deeds:
We were the owners of the property during the period that you had the property under contract. As stated earlier, property was purchased to accommodate your extension request.
Only since I posted above, I'll add my brief experience with Real Pro and Baily (Storer) Depping.
I was looking at 2 separate deals of theirs, had a long phone call with Bailey and exchanged several emails about them. I don't remember offhand if these were wholesale deals, but she made it crystal clear to me that a lot of what they "sell" is just wholesaling. They don't own most of their "inventory" - and she was straightforward about that. But this is why they don't wait for/allow bank financing - and I've never bought a property through a wholesaler, but I think that's standard.
The thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that the company has a policy of not negotiating until after the buyer wires the deposit to the escrow agent/attorney. But she was upfront about this too, and the law firm they use for title and closing seems legit. Personally, I did not feel comfortable sending my money BEFORE negotiating - because I was not going to pay the full list price for these, and I did not want to just send a lower amount and have them just send it right back. But that's their policy and she clearly explained that in the beginning.
If I came across a Real Pro listing that better fit my criteria, I would consider doing business with them.
This is not an endorsement for Real Pro. I have no relationship with them and I've never done a deal with them. But I think this thread's gotten out of hand and very far from objectivity.
I keep trying but its a bit scammy. They show income that is not real. It is only their projection. They advertise properties they do not own. Be careful.
