House.com - Good Real Estate Marketing or Not?

Over the past couple days we have had House.com calling our home line repeatedly.  Today, we finally took the call from them, and we were treated very rudely by the sales rep.  We tried to lay out the exchange as best as could be remembered on our main blog site for Big Canoe real estate - you can read the story at: House.com - Real Estate Marketing Gone Awry?

In case you dont want to read the story on our site, I'll give you the short  version of why I am writing about it here.  When I told the House.com sales rep that we were on the no-call list and requested to have our number taken off the house.com call list, he told me "Your number is plastered all over Active Rain.  That's where I got it from."  So, make what you will of that statement, but apparently not everyone reading Active Rain is looking to buy or sell a house! The other part of what made this whole phone call so bizarre was the overall rudeness and arrogance of the sales rep.  Again, you can read the blog at our site, but it was unusually tacky.

I did some basic Google research on House.com, and I would urge you do the same.  As I pointed out in our blog, there are many excellent outlets for web based real estate marketing.  Out of curiousity, have any of you had any good experiences with house.com?
