Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 91 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the payment processes, often reporting unexpected charges and difficulties with trial periods quickly escalating into higher subscription fees. People frequently found the pricing to be misleading, with initial low trial costs transforming into much higher monthly fees without clear consent or notification. Reviewers also encountered major issues with the website and its services, noting that the promised information was often unavailable or incorrect, leading to a waste of money. A significant number of customers reported extreme difficulty in canceling their subscriptions, with many being continuously charged even after multiple attempts to terminate their service. Some people even mentioned that they were charged cancellation fees or that their new credit cards were still billed despite previous cancellations. Conversely, a small portion of people found the information provided to be useful and accurate, especially for real estate professionals.

Pleased they did respond to my demands

OK I am pleased to say that I found the right contact info to get to someone about my frustration. They cancelled my membership and returned the $37.50. So I have to give them a few stars for that. But you need to go to your treasurer.org for your state and you get much more correct information free.

Although I initially thought I wouldn't get a refund. Ownerly did do the right thing and credited the money that was charged to my PayPal account. Users, just be careful of what you click on. Most of these are innocent mistakes but you will be charged. I think the company does offer a solid service, it's just I didn't really need it at this time. Thank you, Ownerly

This company is a scam

This company is a scam. I paid the $1.00 to receive a report and the report was worthless. I also cancelled the subscription immediately. I have not visited the site since then. They are now refusing to credit the $34.99 that I did not give them permission to debit. BEWARE!!! This company is a scam!!!

I got a free trial

I got a free trial. It was clearly stated that you need to email to cancel the subscription before the free trial ended or you would be charged a $34.99 subscription fee. I searched for the address to a home I own. The information I received was identical to Zillow.com. Zillow.com is completely free for those that don't know. 3 days before the free trial ended, I used the email I signed up with to cancel my subscription. I was then repeatedly billed by them for $34.99. I had to send another email informing them that I would be contacting my lawyer if they didn't stop trying to charge me after I had followed their cancellation policy exactly. They did finally cancel my subscription within 5 minutes of me sending that last email.

Worthless

The report I was given to value a property I was interested in buying had no more information than what was available online. Worthless.

I sent an email to the directed email address with the following copy and paste message "Cancel at any time, by calling 1-888-212-8460 or online by simply emailing support(@)ownerly.com." and haven't gotten a confirmation that I canceled.

I signed up for a trial

I signed up for a trial. The search result was ok, however nothing special. 2 days later I cancelled, only to hear back saying they couldn't find my account and needed more info, which I provided. No refund but a new charge for the full amount. I guess they found my account. I protested again, well within the 7 day period, only to hear I didn't cancel in time. Be careful with these characters.

BUYER BEWARE!!!

BUYER BEWARE! I purchased a report for one property in Arizona (I could not find the info in public databases) and paid $5. After I paid the $5 there was no report with the record. Even worse, they charged my PayPal $34.99 three times! I requested a refund and they denied it. DO NOT give them your PayPal info.

Ownerly takes publicly available…

Ownerly takes publicly available information on real estate and sells it in "reports" for $34.99 per month.

There free trial is "evergreened" into a monthly subscription in partnership through venmo(paypal) with access to ACH through your checking. Together venmo and Ownerly.com are taking advantage of retail customers. It's not billed through a VISA credit card that could more easily challenged and credited. Very little and highly questionable business practices.

Buyer BEWARE!

Do not sign up $1.00

Ownerly have a $1.00 offer for ONE report which I signed up for. I was surprised when later on I was charged $37.79 for a 25 report membership AUTOMATICALLY. I am mad as hell and cancelled right away. They will say read their terms when you sign up but that is not really in plain sight when you do. I suspect they designed their sign up service to grab easy money from the unsuspecting. Be very careful DO NOT sign up for their service.

Mad as HELL…

I must have accidentally clicked on this sponsored site. I did NOT order or request any services from them in any way shape or form. I have Samsung Pass set up on my phone. So I am not sure if that's how they stole my information or not. But three attempts of $34.99 were made on my card in the middle of the night! These people or someone working there are theives. I ordered NOTHING! We need a button for Minus stars in this case. It doesn't matter that it was for $34.99. They probably do this 24/7. That said, I plan to call the Better Business Bureau and make a formal complaint. Further I suggest anyone that has had the same experience do so too!

Poor customer Service…

Service request to cancel service was placed after the 7 day free trial. OK, I have been charged for 1 month, but I have not had access to my reports during this prepaid time. And can not reach a customer service by phone or chat.

Alternatively, if you would like to remove your listing from Ownerly's people search results, we provide an easy online opt-out process.

This company is a Scam

This company is a Scam. I signed up for the 7 day trial period and input the address that I wanted to research for owners name on the deed. I got a list of addresses with pictures but not one of them was the property I was inquiring about.
