What do you like best about Parkbench.com?

I've never had a company so responsive to my needs. Parkbench truly wants you to succeed and gives you the tools - and the personnel - to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parkbench.com?

There are no downsides to Parkbench and I've been a client for 4 years so I should know! It's just easy peasy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Parkbench.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Parkbench allows me to do outreach in a way that is both natural and comfortable. I hate sales pitches and that's why Parkbench is so effective. People love being interviewed and talking about their business. I take it a step further and ask personal stuff and that's when the good stuff comes up. I've actually had hilarious interviews with some very straight laced people - and we had fun doing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Spent $5,500 and did not receive any leads"
They motivated me to make videos which led to some pretty great relationships. I did the work, though, I did not need Parkbench to go make a video.

What do you like best about Parkbench.com?

Nothing. There is nothing to like. Do night sign up for this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parkbench.com?

Signing up for Parkbench has been one of the greatest regrets I've ever had since becomeing a Realtor. It's basically paying THOUSANDS for an idea. Nothing more. You're paying them and doing all the work! YOU need to book, film, edit and post interviews every week in order to qualify for the money back guarantee, while Parkbench has no onus to deliver you anything of value. If you want them to help you book, edit or post interviews then guess what, you have to pay for that!

Just after signing my contract, a regret I'll have to suck up, I was diagnosed with an illness that has made it impossible to create all the content they require. I made a call to try to explain and was basically told, sorry about your luck. This is the most heartless, uncaring, unethical company I've ever come across in Real Estate. Do not sign that contract! Now, I wouldn't doubt if somoeone from the company chimes in to gaslight me on this review. It happens every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Parkbench solving a problem?! LOL Parkbench IS the problem! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parkbench.com?

Total time suck. Always upselling you something else. Absent coaching/support, had to follow up multiple times. Any communication that was sent to me was automated. Total waste of money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Parkbench.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Caused stress by taking my money and putting the honus of work on me. Company was not forthright in their promises or commitment for agent success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Parkbench.com?

This platform has helped me help my local businesses as well as my own business. The training and assistance is great from all of the Parkbench staff. Ryan Formosa has been specifically helpful and a pleasure to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parkbench.com?

I cannot think of anything that I would put on a list of dislikes. The only thing that comes to mind is that I wish I would have found out about Parkbench sooner in my real estate journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Parkbench.com:

If you are looking to grow your business in a way that is helpful to others, this is the platform for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Parkbench.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem solved by Parkbench is exposure. The platform allows me to help my local business owners with free exposure for them which then also by default helps with my relationship building and overall exposure as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Parkbench.com?

I love the concept of promoting your town/city and the people that work and serve the area in order for your business to grow. Everyone at Parkbench has been extremely helpful in getting me started. Mackenzie Schwarz helped me sign up. My on-boarding experience with Cristina Baldini was great and started me on my path and motivated me to be creative. Jordan Aquino-Serjue is the Zoom training guru that gets you started.

When you need more help Ryan Formosa is there for you. I can't wait to meet with Jessie Olson to get a jump start on marketing myself even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parkbench.com?

So far I have not found anything about parkbench to dislike. I found it hard at first to get myself motivated, but that is not a parkbench issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Parkbench.com:

Sign up!! Before your area/city is taken Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Parkbench.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a realtor it is important to know who is in the are that can work on various items within the homes that need to be repaired or kept up during the sale and after the sale. I am meeting many of the service people that are here in Oak Ridge and available.

I am also beginning to build relationships with many of the people in the area that have roots in the city and an interest in the city growing - this is important to me too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Parkbench.com?

I like that no matter how much I complain or how valid my point is - it's always ignored with the utmost level corporate, "we understand" soft skills, and we are here for you. Except of course, unless you want out of this nightmare, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parkbench.com?

Lies and refusal to accept responsibility for a bad sales job. Even after they say they pulled the sales call, - the reply was, "well, you sounded pretty excited to us".

BTW, if you stop all of the rest of your business and do nothing but create content, then we guarantee it will work. - Well, so does knocking on doors, but who has time. Pay someone 4000.00 for a SUBPAR site, a less than an elegant platform, to say the least, only to be provided with additional responsibilities - Anything will work if it is all that you do. What a great gig these people have. If Realtors behaved this way - well, we wouldn't be Realtors.

Here is a big deal - I don't want my name affiliated or on anything Parkbench related -Their integrity, compassion, empathy, and understanding are in line with that of a large corporation that has the arrogance of someone you can't touch. They do not know or understand our Community - Our Community Locals that makes a difference, and they certainly do not care - Keep your business local and in the USA! Do you know how expensive attorneys' fees are for filing against a Canadian company? Just don't get there in the first place.

Please, please, inform the National Association of Realtors they're endorsing a rotten apple - shiny sales outside - worms inside Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Parkbench.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's not a fit - I am not getting what the sales rep sold and no remorse or resolution intended by this company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Parkbench.com?

The only positive thing that I can say about parkbench is their customer service. Everything else is robbery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parkbench.com?

I got sold on them after their sales pitch. In all my years of real estate, Parkbench has been my biggest waste of money - $4,200 in fact for two years of their "service" in which they probably spend about $2.00/month to maintain the web domain. THEY DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL INSTEAD! IT'S THE SAME THING. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Parkbench.com?

They do have the ability to respond via email. They are not great with their scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parkbench.com?

Their fees are ridiculous and not in line with what they offer. They do not give their potential clients enough time for a reasonable review of what they really offer prior to purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Parkbench.com:

DO NOT PURCHASE! Unfortunately, the sales rep does not allow a potential client to take time and review the company before purchase. The sales call is pressured and convincing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Parkbench.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

If your problem is not finding a way to waste your money than this is for you! The website they offer you to host does not update with the local news articles as they suggest nor does the site contain all the businesses in the local area as they claim Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
