Lead Quality & Dispute Policy

Our standards for qualified leads and how disputes are reviewed

Last Updated: January 20, 2025

Our Commitment

Every lead delivered through Homelo AI LLC has been verified and qualified by our team before reaching your account. We take lead quality seriously and have built a transparent dispute process so that agents are never left holding a charge for a lead that was clearly defective. This page outlines exactly what we consider a qualified lead, what grounds justify a dispute, and how our review process works from submission to resolution.

1. What Is a Qualified Lead?

A qualified lead is a homeowner submission that meets all of the following criteria at the time it is delivered to your account:

  • Phone-verified: The homeowner completed SMS verification confirming they have access to the mobile number provided.
  • Owner-submitted with expressed intent: The submission is made by the property owner (or someone acting on the owner's behalf) who has expressed a qualifying intent within the prior 24 months. Qualifying intents include, but are not limited to, interest in selling the property, pursuing a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or cash-out refinance, exploring property valuation for estate or financial planning purposes, or other adjacent real estate-related financial decisions. A lead is not limited to active selling intent — homeowners with related financial motivations are considered qualified and may be shared with adjacent partner companies operating in connected verticals.
  • Valid U.S. address: The property address is a real, deliverable residential address located within the United States.
  • Within your configured service area: The property falls within the geographic markets you have active in your account at the time of delivery.
  • Not a duplicate: The same homeowner contact has not already been delivered to your account previously.
  • Genuine submission: The lead was submitted voluntarily by a real person and was not generated through automated, fraudulent, or bot-driven activity.

Homelo AI LLC does not guarantee that a homeowner will ultimately list their home, sign a listing agreement, or be reachable on the first attempt. Lead quality standards relate to the validity of the contact and submission at the time of delivery — not to downstream conversion outcomes.

2. Valid Grounds for a Dispute

The following conditions represent valid grounds for filing a dispute within 30 days of lead delivery. Disputes filed on these grounds are reviewed by our internal team and may result in a wallet credit equal to the lead price charged.

Contact Information Issues
  • Invalid or disconnected phone number — The phone number provided is disconnected, out of service, or has been reassigned to a different person who has no knowledge of the submission.
  • Wrong person / number mismatch — The person who answers the phone has no connection to the property address and has no knowledge of the submission.
  • Completely fabricated contact information — The name, phone number, or email address provided does not correspond to any real, reachable individual.
Submission Validity Issues
  • Homeowner denies submitting — The homeowner explicitly states they never visited homelo.ai or submitted their information, indicating a fraudulent or erroneous submission.
  • Not the property owner — The contact is a renter, tenant, or other non-owner occupant and has no authority to list or sell the property.
  • Minor or legally incapacitated individual — The submitting party is under 18 years of age or otherwise lacks the legal capacity to authorize a real estate transaction.
Property Status Issues
  • Property already actively listed — The property was already under an active listing agreement with another brokerage or agent at the time the lead was delivered to your account.
  • Property already sold or under contract — The property had closed or was under a signed purchase contract at the time of lead delivery.
  • Homeowner is deceased — The property owner passed away before the lead was delivered to your account and the estate has no intention to sell through our referral.
  • Non-residential or non-existent address — The property address does not correspond to a real residential property (e.g., vacant lot, commercial property, or address does not exist).
Delivery Errors
  • Duplicate lead — The same homeowner contact (matched by phone number or property address) was previously delivered to your account and charged separately.
  • Outside configured service area — The property is located in a market or ZIP code that was not active in your account settings at the time the lead was delivered.

3. Situations That Are Not Disputable

The following situations do not constitute valid dispute grounds because the lead was valid and qualified at the time of delivery. The outcome was affected by factors outside our control:

  • Homeowner changed their mind — A homeowner who expressed genuine interest at the time of submission but has since decided not to sell or list their home.
  • Homeowner chose another agent — The homeowner decided to work with a different real estate professional prior to or after being contacted by you.
  • Agent unable to reach homeowner — Failure to connect with a homeowner through your own outreach efforts alone (unreturned calls, unanswered texts) is not sufficient grounds for a dispute without supporting evidence.
  • Timeline mismatch — The homeowner has a selling timeline (e.g., 12+ months out) that does not align with your business preferences, but the lead was otherwise valid.
  • Property type or value outside your preference — The lead was delivered within your configured market and the property was valid, but the price point or property type is not what you prefer to work with.
  • Homeowner is unresponsive but reachable — If our internal review team is able to make contact with the homeowner and verify genuine interest, the dispute will be denied regardless of the agent's contact attempts.

Goodwill Credits — Best Effort Cases

If your situation doesn't meet formal dispute criteria but you believe you made a genuine, documented best effort to contact the homeowner, you may still submit a courtesy review request. Our team may issue a discretionary wallet credit at our sole discretion when sufficient evidence is provided (e.g., timestamped call logs, voicemail records, SMS history). Goodwill credits are not guaranteed, are not eligible for cash refund, and do not set a precedent for future reviews.

4. How to File a Dispute

Disputes must be filed within 30 days of the lead delivery date shown in your account at app.homelo.ai. After 30 days, disputes will not be accepted under any circumstances.

  1. Log into your account at app.homelo.ai.
  2. Navigate to Leads, locate the lead in question, and click File Dispute.
  3. Select the reason for your dispute from the list of valid grounds and provide a brief description of the issue.
  4. Attach any supporting evidence (screenshots, call logs, voicemail records, carrier messages, etc.) that supports your claim.
  5. Submit the dispute. You will receive a confirmation and our team will begin review within 3–5 business days.

Alternatively, you may contact us directly at support@homelo.ai or +1 972-696-7328 and our support team will assist you in opening a dispute.

5. How We Review Disputes

All disputes are reviewed by our internal quality assurance team. Our review process is designed to be fair, thorough, and independent. Here is how it works:

  1. Submission Review: We review the dispute reason, supporting evidence, and the original lead record (submission timestamp, phone verification log, raw data payload).
  2. Independent Outreach: Our team makes independent attempts to contact the homeowner directly using the information on file. This allows us to verify whether the homeowner has genuine selling intent, recalls submitting their information, and is willing to speak with a real estate agent.
  3. Intent Verification: If our team successfully contacts the homeowner and confirms genuine intent to sell or explore their options, the dispute will be denied — regardless of whether the agent was able to reach them independently. A lead is considered valid if the homeowner is reachable and confirms interest.
  4. Resolution: If the dispute is approved, a wallet credit equal to the lead price charged is applied to your account within 3–5 business days. If denied, you will receive a written explanation of our findings.

Our goal is not to deny disputes — it is to ensure that credits are issued when a lead was genuinely defective, and that valid, high-intent leads are not reversed simply because an agent's follow-up process did not connect.

6. Dispute Outcomes

Dispute Approved

  • ✓ Wallet credited for the exact lead price charged
  • ✓ Credit treated as unused balance
  • ✓ Eligible for inclusion in account balance refund
  • ✓ Written confirmation sent to your email

Dispute Denied

  • ✗ No wallet credit issued
  • ✗ Lead charge stands as originally billed
  • ✗ Written explanation of denial provided
  • ✗ No further review available for the same lead

All dispute outcomes are final. We do not offer a secondary appeals process, but we encourage you to contact our support team if you believe there was a factual error in our review.
