Your unprofessional response shows that you clearly aren't a person that others may want to do business with.  I did not at any point in time call you names (like you have done) or bad mouth your company. I gave my experience with your company's deal submission portal.  I just gave facts as to the progress of my two deal submissions, which is what most readers look for--they want to know about whether people have had success with deal submissions and the user experience.  As I understand not all deal submissions go through or are successful,  I also needed to report my user experience with your company communications,  and your responses when trying to get questions answered on chat, or sending emails for updates.  I didn't receive any communication from you or your company until I reported my experience on Bigger Pockets.  I even said, as you can read on my statement, that I wasn't stopping anyone from using GIC deal finders.  oh, and PS. I called Sonia, but she never called me back..

I have checked my two submissions on a periodic basis, and it still states the properties are pending. (My experience is the exact same as Wendy G). These properties were submitted in August. There was no response from you that the properties didn't meet the criteria or that you have closed out the submissions as it says they are still pending. There is nothing listed in the rejected property area, so I sit here wondering what is happening with the submittals. I also sat on chat a few times for a long time and no one answered. I put comments on the property submittals and requested updates and there hasn't been any responses either via the site or via an email correspondence.  I am giving my personal experience on two deal submissions that I have made through your company and I feel it necessary to report them for people who are thinking of doing the same. They can try to submit deals, I am not stopping them. But this is my experience so far and I intend to continue to update readers on my experience with your company so they can make an educated decision.  But there has been lack of follow through, updates and communication.

Follow up: I signed up with GIC at the beginning of August 2016 only because it was free. I submitted 2 deals to start. The properties I submitted show in the submit property area/tab that the deals are still pending, and when I try to go on online chat (no one came online), submit a ticket for a question (no response), or try to ask a question via their contact information, I get no response. I have asked for updates on my submittals, and I get no response. I also put in a zip code to get a foreclosure list, and I received nothing. I will be able follow the properties I submitted to see if they ever get sold and who purchased them, so I will follow up on that in the future. Currently the properties I submitted are still in the owners name, but abandoned.  I will no longer submit any deals to GIC, but will continue to follow up for awhile to see if they ever respond. Obviously, I would not recommend this company and this company should just close down.

I signed up today (for free) to submit a property I knew was abandoned. I am going to see if GIC people respond or follow up to my submission. This would be the only one I would do and I will wait to see if they respond, as it seems pretty fishy to me I then came across this blog and saw this feedback. I'll post again once some time passes to give my feedback for anyone else who is looking for information on this company.

John is now offering his "secret" spreadsheet for $97. The spreadsheet actually is nice to have, I am able to keep track of properties I bid on and it calculates everything automatically. The only problem is I paid $997 for it a few years ago, along with some other training on wholesaling, so I feel a bit taken right now, but that was my fault. Of course, now everyone has the "secret" spreadsheet. I no longer bid in my area as I was never awarded a bid. I am working with another realtor and investor in another state where margins are better. When I finally win a HUD bid, I will post it because it will be a huge accomplishment since I have never won one..Happy investing..

Hi, Has anyone used Chris Curry Listing Funnels Systems for the real estate agent? I searched in the search box and I did not see any forums related to this program. Thank you.

I posted in March about my experiences and I still have not been rewarded any bids from HUD with the percentages that John's worksheet calculates. I have also tried higher percentages, and I still haven't been rewarded any bids. Has anyone else bought into his program and had success? I see a few more listings at the investor stage, but the lowest I have had was a counter at 77%. I talked to an investor in Maryland and she was rewarded a bid after 4 months...If anyone has had success, please post.. Thank you..

I have not seen Priscilla post since Jan 2014. If you read the blog it says she cancelled iflip after 3 months. you will need to read through the blog to find out her reasons why

Hi Jim, I have used John's system on and off for a year, and had bid every day since Jan 1, 2014. In my area (Las Vegas), his system of percentage discounts does not work unless the property is a condo that hasn't sold for many months or a property so far out of town that no one wants. His percentages don't work in my area, and I have never been awarded a bid. I have been countered, but usually at 87% at the investor stage. I did buy the membership over a year ago ($997), and now he offers Buyers on Fire as part of this package. When I asked if I could add Buyers on fire under my current membership, they said no (same price of $997 as it was a year ago) I also have emailed multiple times to their support email with questions, and I have never received a response. I have also asked questions on webinars I have been on, and they never respond. There also have been some changes to HUD's procedures this year, and I never see them update that on the webinars or on their membership website. So I am left to think they are just a big sell, with little support...I wouldn't recommend it, unless you live in an area where you actually see HUD selling properties at a big discount
