Ambassadors

Our ambassadors are among our most respected and favorable customers.

DISCLAIMER: MUST READ - The ambassador program is comprised of a group of individuals who are former and/or current response education customers. They are listed here to provide substantiation for representations they may discuss about their educational experience and them completing real estate transactions. They occasionally travel to live events and provide a testimonial about their education experience with Response. At the beginning of their time in front of any customers, they are introduced by the trainer as a former student and that they are compensated for their time and effort to attend the event. They are not coached or instructed on what to say, but asked to convey their experience with Response.

It is prohibited for them to discuss any details about the transactions they complete, the amount of time or effort it took for them to complete any transaction and they are not allowed to share any specific or range of dollar amounts they did or did not make in the transaction.

Further disclosure about these customers is made that they purchased advanced training and their results are not typical and all results for every customer with any or every different deal will vary.

Results rely on individual effort, time, and skill of each customer, as well as market conditions and other factors. Outside of the general details of the deals these clients discuss, we are unable to track exact monetary results.

Instead, we survey for customer satisfaction concerning the value of the education, training, support, and overall satisfaction. Survey respondents typically rate their experience of our products and services over 4.8/5. Survey results are comprised of an average rating across all products and services within a 12-month period. Some case studies may include representations regarding earnings, time, and effort. You should not view the following representations as typical, common, or expected. Do not base a decision to purchase education and training on any Done-a-Deal story or case study.

Below, you'll find a list of a few of our customers who have become Ambassadors. Our Ambassadors attend our real estate preview events and talk about a deal they have completed and answer questions from prospective students. You may remember one being at the first event you attended.

  • Location: Richmond, VA

Everything I've learned regarding real estate investing, I've learned from Response. Both my wife and I were in corporate America for a total of 42 years. We figured we needed to do something else. My wife began turning malls into better spaces- then we started flipping houses. It became a full-time job for my wife, then we talked and decided I'd join her as well. In April 2014 we went to the trainings, I was there supporting her- then three months later I left my 22 year gig and began working with my wife flipping homes and eventually multi-unit properties.

  • Customer Name: Becky L.
  • Customer ID: ZLD8N
  • Location: Oro Valley, AZ

I have been a student of Response since February 2016, and I have done multiple deals. We purchased a commercial building without doing our due-dilligence or asking advice of support. Now we're trying to sell it. Going back, I would have contacted support and did more due-diligence and more than likely would not have purchased it. My fears include losing money, mistakes, what my family might say. My why is having financial freedom and having more time.

  • Customer Name: Jean M.
  • Customer ID: MJRF4
  • Location: Steilacoom, WA

I grew up in a small town in Washington, and graduated college at the age of 57. I went to a real estate seminar with one of my best friends and decided that it didn't seem like rocket science and thought we could do it. I was looking for some extra funds because my husband's medical needs and he had to quit his job because of it. We started to invest in the Seattle area. The education taught us to sift through the information, communicate with people, and to have a team of trademen, or contractors, who were willing to help us get things done. One of the great things that the Response education provides is the ability to answer our questions. This career changed my life!

  • Location: Riverside, CA

I worked for a company for 23 years in Southern California. One day, after vacation, we went through a reorganization of the company and I was laid-off. I received a mailer- an invitation to a real estate event at a hotel. I went, signed up for the 3-day workshop, and I was gearing up to go to work. After the workshop, I knew this was what I needed to do. Response has met all the commitments they've made to me and I'm so grateful for that.

On December 24, 2001 at 23 years old he was in a catastrophic snowboarding accident, his L1 vertebrae was pulverized and pushed into his spinal cord leaving him instantly paralyzed from the waist down, a paraplegic. In the hospital he had his L1 vertebrae and rib removed, ground up and placed inside a titanium cage creating a spinal fusion between his T12 and L2 vertebrae. After surgery the Doctor said he would never walk again or be able to have kids and to start adjusting to living life in a wheelchair. Today, Thom can walk with a cane, lives in San Diego California with his wife, Lisa and their two sons, Jackson and Dylan who are 12 and 7 years old. He has defied all odds mentally and physically because he did not listen to someone else’s opinion about himself.

Thom and Lisa are self-employed and started their own real estate investing company TLC Investment Properties Inc.

He enjoys coaching his sons’ sport teams and puts family first because he learned that at you lowest point all you have is the people around you and the memories you make with them, all the material stuff does not matter and can be replaced. Through his accident he has learned to stay positive, create his own happiness, focus on being grateful for what you do have, and to bring love into everyday like there’s no tomorrow.

  • Customer Name: Chris C.

  • Location: Norwood Young America, MN

On July 3, 2018 my business partner and I bought a new primary residence for $160,000. We then used the lease with the option to purchase strategy on our previous house for $1600/month. This created a positive cash flow of $750/month because the net cost of our previous house was only $850/month. Not only do we get the amazing level of cash flow, but we may also make a profit of $23,000 if they exercise their option to purchase. Without the training from Response we would have never known about this strategy. Thank you for all the help you have provided us to complete this deal.

  • Customer Name: Drew U.
  • Customer ID: 346SV
  • Location: Murrieta, CA

I am a retired Program Manager from Aerospace IT and started investing in 2013 because I wanted to reinvest retirement funds, increase rate of return, have cash flow, time, and financial freedom. When finding great deals I try to investigate all aspects of the property so I can determine repairs, etc. that are needed. Then I construct a bid that is reflective of the repairs and the disposition strategy for that particular property. Technology is a big help when determining the AVM. The tools and processes embedded in the SW are invaluable. Photos and other sources of info are important in constructing the bid.

  • Customer Name: Sheldon D.
  • Customer ID: P9Z4K
  • Location: New Market, MD

Taking the training in 2010 and doing their first deal in 2011, Sheldon Davis and his wife are investing in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. When starting out, their greatest fear was in not knowing what they didn’t know. Their goals were to fund their retirement and to travel. They now take their extended family on trips.Taking an education-centric approach to their investing, the couple “burned up the phone lines” to support in their first deals. Their cautious approach to deal selection relied heavily on due diligence, and the numbers had to work or they moved on to another opportunity.Their investing includes retail flips, mortgage notes, tax liens, private lending, and rental properties. Their rental cash flow provides income security to allow other strategies. Knowing that the profit is made on the front-end purchase of a property, their due diligence is extensive, including worst case analysis and planned exit strategies.They have made mistakes, never the same one twice though. Using technology for research in their due diligence process, they can evaluate many deals, compare best and worst case scenarios, and plan exit strategies. All of this preparation leads to profitable results, even when the ideal result doesn’t come to be.
