Based on that, I believed I was speaking directly with Keller Williams. During the call, I signed up for what I thought was a Keller Williams service. After the call, I realized I had actually purchased a service from Constant Contact, a third-party company affiliated with Keller Williams. Had that been clear from the beginning, I would have made a different decision. Less than 24 hours later, I called to cancel my account and request a full refund. Instead of processing my request, I was asked multiple times (at least four) if I wanted to keep the account in some form. I was offered a 40% discount, encouraged to leave the account inactive instead of canceling it, and presented with several other retention offers before my request was finally addressed. It felt like every effort was made to avoid honoring a simple cancellation request. When I asked for a full refund, I was placed on hold for several minutes. The representative returned and told me they had been able to approve a "full refund, excluding any add-ons." At no point before that had anyone mentioned add-ons. I then had to specifically ask whether my account even had add-ons and how much those charges were before I was told my refund would actually be only $39 out of the $59 I had paid. The entire experience left me feeling misled--from the way the initial call was presented to the cancellation and refund process. Based on my experience, I would recommend avoiding this company altogether and choosing a provider that is transparent about who they are, what they're selling, and what you're paying for. I value companies that are upfront and honest with their customers rather than relying on confusing sales language and aggressive retention tactics to close a sale or prevent a cancellation.

I figured it would be pretty simple, but 18 hrs and a toner cartridge later, I could barely scrape together enough info to fill out my extension, which sucked since I really wanted my stimulus check sooner than later. Did I mention I was unemployed at the time? Tail between my legs, I headed for Cyndie based on some random yellow pages reviews. Even though I had attempted to do them myself *and* had made some incorrect assumptions *and* handed off a mass of jumbled printouts and random scribblings, she was very professional, fast, and super nice. She even caught a little handwritten memo I'd made to myself about an ancient savings account that I had forgotten to tell her about during our initial meeting. Hurrah for being thorough! I thought her fees were on par with other tax prep services (simple filing, renter, not self-employed, MA and federal ~ $160) and was totally worth it considering the time I'd already spent plus the extra fees for e-filing Turbo Tax or H&R Block would have stuck me with ( ~ $80 + HUGE UNCERTAINTY). Plus she answered all my additional questions for free, which other chain services don't do. Anyway, Cyndie really put my mind at ease. I got my refunds back within 2 weeks and my stimulus check came on time in the mail the other week as if I had never filed an extension. Awesome. I'm giving her a high-five next time I see her.
