Unaffordable for any Search Results. Forced to Pay 2 Months
Paid $95 December 31, 2023 to list my property for sale. Realized 1 inquiry by January 7th, requesting me to owner finance.
The only other inquiry was me, running a test to see if something was wrong. Must pay an additional $495 per month to avoid being at the bottom of search results.
By then, it was too late to cancel with a 30-day notice. Stuck for another month.
- Good chance for leads first couple hours
- 30 day notice to cancel requires a 2 month commitment
- Or property goes to bottom of search
- Pay 495 for search results
Preferred solution: I gained a negative experience and learned a lesson

Money incorrectly taken from my account
My son is selling land for profit and asked in May 2023 for my credit card number to enroll in Lands of America. He said it was a one time charge and that the person was in the Phillapines.
761.50 was taken out. However 1249.50 was taken out June, July and August. I closed down the credit card.
Do you have any knowledge of this? R Reid

Nefarious credit card payment system
Consumers beware, unless written notification of non-renewal is provided 60 days in advance of the final service date of the current term, they will auto-subscribe you for another 12-month term. My monthly payments went from $284 to $355.
They sent no email notification when my term was nearing the end. I was dealing with a dying father at the time and when I asked Lands of America to cancel my subscription and to stop charging my card, my rep told me that he couldn't. My only alternative was to cancel my credit card and get a brand-new card with new numbers. After doing that, I discovered that Lands Of America has it set up to continue with the auto-pay, even with a brand-new card.
A phone call directly to MasterCard finally put a block on this merchant.
The way this company operates is underhanded, and they deliberately make it almost impossible to cancel a subscription. My credit card company was appalled by their tactics.
User's recommendation: Avoid this company.

Terrible customer service
After your sign up for a listing, the company assigns you a customer service rep. The rep who was assigned to me does not return my calls.
Left multiple voice mails, sent messages but no response. You cannot talk to any human being.
I wish I never signed up for a listing. Bad customer service.

Constant crashing
I try to search the Lands of Texas regularly. Constant crashing and tie ups make it impossible to search and view.
Have property for sale also, would not recommend listing on a site that operates so poorly. Geez, fix it already!
- Website sucks
Preferred solution: ability to search for property without crashes.
User's recommendation: read above

Selling fake property
I contacted him several times about their fake ads. And fake realty companies advertising on their page.
They still haven’t removed the ads and have added more posts from the same realty companies that doesn’t exist. Nothing but a scam!
Several listings on the lines of America properties I dont exist in realty companies that are real. Not to mention the fact that youre charging 17% on top of any land sold on top of their $295 filing fee.
Landowners that Ive contacted who actually on the land that theyre trying to sell are pissed that theyre charging so much.
And some of the land owners have already removed their properties, but lands of America is still advertising. Dont believe a word any of them say!
- Little to none of what they say is true
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

Terrible customer service
Our salesperson, Bryan H, told me verbally that we could talk about cancellation if I wasn't satisfied after 6 months. When I contacted him to terminate because we had zero leads from our ad, he either did not respond to my emails or told me he would provide options to me but then never provided those options.
He continued to bill me and ignore my emails.
Worst customer service I've ever experienced from a sales person. Also did not receive any leads from our ad.
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Do not recommend
No response
I have inquired into 4 properties via email. I left all my contact information. I told them I was ready to buy cashand I never received a response from them.
User's recommendation: Don't waste you time.

They will Auto-Bill you if not notified 60 days Prior To ...
After being bought out, hey have increased their pricing to $900 per month ...
Buyer Be Ware!!! If you do an annual subscription with Lands of America, they will auto-bill you if you do not call them to stop service at least 60 DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION DATE !
I went to their website to cancel renewal of membership just before my 1 yr anniversary. When I clicked on the "Cancel Membership" button, I got the message that my membership was not active, so I assumed they had canceled since I had not submitted payment or signed up for another year. There was nothing on my original contract stating I had to give them a min of 60 days notice PRIOR TO my the end of my original contract. Most companies will give a customer a notice prior to an up coming renewal.
This company will not! I experienced a very NEGATIVE customer experience ...
Preferred solution: Pass nationwide Government Legislation to require companies to give notice to a consumer prior to any auto-billing

Beware of 60 day notice.
I have advertised with this company for the last 12 months with ZERO results. I wanted to cancel mid way through my agreement and they told me I could after my 1st year was over.
I just tried to cancel my subscription that ends next month and they said I have to give them 60 days notice to cancel so I am paying for another 12 months of worthless advertising.
My fault for not reading the details. Would of been nice if they would have told me that when I signed up but that is probably the only way they can get people to advertise for 2 years.

This "automatic renewal" nonsense is a surprisingly common practice. That provision is stated somewhere in the original contract (you will need a 16x jeweler's loupe magnifier to find it).
The only remedy is to furnish a written cease and desist demand and serve via Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested. Keep all receipts and copies of correspondence. You must do usually a minimum of 30 days prior to the onset of the "new" billing period, but it is best to read the contract in case they've tinkered with that, too. They may well attempt to bill you 3-4 months ahead of the 'renewal' date.
Advise your financial institution of the 'drop dead' date for this vendor and to dishonor any attempts at billing and collection after that date. (I'm surprised that your rep was 'surprised' at the request). It's a disgusting way to "keep customers" and is not designed for your convenience of uninterrupted bliss. Folks need to remember to read everything they sign, we're all guilty of at least some of that omission.
There is an increasing number of bottom feeders who prey upon ordinary, normal thinking folks that a yearly contract is exactly that. Thank you for bringing this emerging issue to the forefront of this forum ; another example of such a company : Terminix (harder to get rid of than the bugs)
