Hi Trenesha,

We understand the transition from our Classic websites to the new Codeless platform may have been an inconvenience for you in the short-term. We are extremely confident that the upgrade you made to Codeless will continuously pay off over time as we have extremely ambitious goals to deliver robust features that you would have otherwise never had access to on Classic. We appreciate your feedback and transparency in this review and will continue to work tirelessly for you as a Placester customer!

What do you like best about Placester?

The price is cheap and the interface is not that bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Placester?

Lack of customer service, inability to have agent's contact information, many errors, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Placester solving and how is that benefiting you?

As soon as you launch your website, it's like they completely forget about you. There were a lot of errors on our site such as all our Sold Listings were under one agent name, our open houses were just a copy of ALL our listings, the contact forms couldn't be differentiated so you didn't know if your lead was interested in a property, or interested in becoming an agent, etc. You have to manually enter all the housing IDs for the open houses and sold listings to your creative assistant which is way too tedious. I've tried calling Placester, it always goes to voicemail. I've left a voicemail, and no one has called me back. Also, we are a brokerage so on all of our listings I wanted to list our agents' contact information so leads can directly contact the realtor for the property they're interested in. Placester does not have that feature... I do not recommend this platform to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience with Placester.

My name is Seth Price, and I am the VP of Product here at Placester. Please accept our sincerest apologies.

We've taken your feedback to heart and made some significant changes to our product and support process and it looks like we missed migrating you to our new platform. We introduced a host of tools to help admins have more control over the site and the sites of their agents. In addition, we've added a services marketplace to make it easier to get website marketing done .

I'd love the opportunity to win back your business. If you're game, please call my cell 401-351-4663 or email me @ sprice@placester.com.
