Overall A. Why not A+? Because it takes a while for them to work all the deeds, title work etc. If you don't want to wait then look elsewhere. However many of the reviews are very unfair. One's own ignorance is used as a reason to blame the company. The company is very good. One just needs to understand, "as is" means "as is". Also it appears when they buy in bulk they may not be actually buying but buying the right to sell it. However you want to say it this is a great company that I would be very happy to work with again. Bill McM. Less

I viewed a house on Zillow so I contacted Econohomes for more information. To my dismay, the customer service rep had no knowledge regarding the home. I inquired with some specific questions, but the rep advised me that he knew as much as was stated on Zillow, and nothing further because he has never actually viewed the house. Of course not, the company is located in Texas! The rep stated that, after I view the house and if I make an offer, more information should be provided. I cannot understand making an offer on a house without knowing the particulars, and to make a 3 hour drive to view a house with such little information at hand is absurd! Less

Econohomes was great to work with. We are just average people looking for a great house at a great price that we could raise our family in. The process of buying a house from Econohomes is differant than buying through a realtor but if you do your homework and understand the whole process it is a breeze. I do suggest: DO YOUR HOMEWORK on the property you are wanting to buy. Look it over with a fine tooth comb, call the city and county and inquire about back taxes and any other fees attached to the house. Do your own independent title search, buy title insurance and to be sure all the paperwork is in order and everything is in place close with a closing company. I DONT feel like econohomes was trying to hide anything or "pull one over on us", Brandon Tully was very helpful, understand to all of our concerns and was on top of everything for closing. Our experiance with Econohomes was a very good one and we love our new house!!! Less

My rep was Amber W. she was great. The whole deal with EH is a little tough. I have real estate experence.( Prior Agent) and I still hired an attorney to help with due dilligence and handle the money transfer.I still think this was the best way to go. Cheap peace of mind. also got tittle insurance. If you understand what you are buying(distressed property) from whom you are buying( NOT a listing agent) you should be able to make a smart buy. This is not for first time buyers, people who should work with an agent or someone who need bank fin.(the trailing title is a bugaboo for most banks). I will buy from them again if I get the right property at the right price. Less

Israel responded absolutely perfectly to all our questions. I was somewhat skeptical due to some of the paperwork that goes along with this type of business, but after it was all done. I recieved my quit claim, then the actual deed 5 months later (within the promised timeframe). So this review is after waiting 7 months. I highly recommend Econohomes as a reputable, and honest company.

I found my retirement condo via Econohomes. I can say nothing but great things about the expertise and professionalism of my representative John. Quick follow up and attentive to me. I am not an investor so buying from Econohomes was a little scary but it worked, I am in my lovely condo and all without a lot of hassle. The biggest hurdle was finding a property, but after that I can not say anything but I would buy from them again.

I'd submitted an inquiry (with 3 brief questions) via Zillow to Econohomes regarding a property I was considering as an investor. The next day I called to ask if they could get any information on whether the plumbing or electricity worked at the site. The first Econohomes rep insisted rudely that Econohomes had no such property (I assured him I was looking at it on Zillow), and if they did, that they would know nothing about my questions on the property. He demanded to know which agent I'd been assigned to (I was not yet assigned, so I did not know). He seemed combative & argumentative (the initial phone contact should be someone with a better phone manner, who can better represent the company). He eventually realized he'd made a mistake entering the property number, and acknowledged that Econohomes did list the property with Zillow. I've worked with many real estate agents, and was shocked by his lack of basic professional courtesy, so I did some research on the Internet and read both positive (was not sure if they were legitimate) & negative reviews about Econohomes. A few days later, a VERY pleasant, informative agent called. We made arrangements for me to view the property (he gave me the combination) and my husband and I looked it over. We considered buying the property, but it soon sold. Less

I have been purchasing properties from Econohomes for over two years. I am very pleased and have benefitted significantly from this business relationship as they have enabled small time investors like myself , with not much capital, to benefit from low real estate prices . I have purchased properties way below market value and have benefitted tremendously from their in house financing. This in turn has allowed me to grow my rental business. Their staff is very courteous and displays a high level of professionalism. My account representative Traci Stradford is always prompt in responding to my queries.

Econohomes is the ultimate real estate broker. I have to be honest and state that I was highly skeptical when I first began dealing with Econohomes. The process seemed too easy. My real estate attorney warned that Econohomes' non-traditional way of doing business was too risky. Against their advice, I went forward with my first purchase and couldn't be happier. My experience with Econohomes and John has been exceptional. They are honest, trustworthy, experienced and prompt.

My experience with Econohomes and John has been exceptional. They are honest, trustworthy, experienced and prompt. I've p... More

If you're ready to get started working on homes, Econohomes can give you that edge in the market. No bidding wars, No banks, No BS. The process is professional, personable, and quite painless. They deliver on their word with great customer service and reliability. The process is ideal for those who don't want to direct mail to a particular market. I would definitely recommend Econohomes to anyone looking for simplicity in buying bank owned homes and rehab properties. Gabrielle

Tracy makes you feel very comfortable in doing a purchase of a home that is not the norm. (paying for a home and holding for mo's with out obtaining title for up to 6 mo's.) I know at first I was very uncomfortble with doing it this way but the more I talked to her the more assured I felt. Thanks Tracy!! Rex Riedel

I've worked with Jordan Fankhauser on several properties and things went smoothly. He takes care of the details and gets the closing done in a timely manner - buying several more from him as we speak. Great company to work with if you want a good deal on real estate!

We receive responses back immediately- and all 3 sales representatives are very knowledgeable! The closing department at Econohomes has also been fantastic! As a title company, we look forward to closing more transactions in the future!

Traci with Econohomes is more wonderful than words can describe. She supported us through the whole process and made everything really simple. All questions were answered promptly without hesitation. She made herself available whenever we needed her within reason.(We all have lives outside of work.) She even kept watch on a property for us while another buyer was looking at it. When it became avaiable,we got lucky homes go fast, she was there to make sure we could get in on the deal. all homes are fairly priced and there are no hidden charges or fees. All information is valid, and you even can check out the place as proof. The whole experience overall was memorable and I feel everyone will have a good experience. While the process is a little different then conventional home buying everything goes smoothly and there is no pressure. Less

The experience was scary in the beginning but in the end I am 110% satisfied. I have now secured a future for my family with my investment. Thanks Econohomes and a special thanks to Michael. Michael went above and beyond to make sure this property became mine.

Tracy (my salesperson) did a great job, while we did have a problem with our purchase that was out of the control of EH, Tracy always provided us with an prompt and honest answer to our questions and did so in a professional manner and I would/have highly recommend her to anyone considering a house for sale through Econohomes.
