The Empower Group misled my wife and I and pretended to be a high integrity group. The counselor (sales rep) that I spoke too told me this story about how the Empower Group is about helping people get started in real estate.
The only focus of the Empower Group is to make money for themselves. They don't care about you, your spouse or the property that they sold you.
For some reason, people think that it is amazing to find properties for $20k. You can find properties in Houston, Orlando, Atlanta, Cleveland, Nashville, Salt Lake City and many other cities for $20k give or take. In Detroit and in many other cities you can buy properties for $10k or less!
The Empower Group completely misled me and my wife about what they do, what they offer and the value of working with them. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.
Please take caution before you work or invest with the Empower Group.

Greetings all. My name is SEAN WHALEN and I am the owner of Empower Group, and I'd like to respond to the posts above and make some very clear and TRUE statements on behalf of myself and EMPOWER GROUP. The postings above are from a disgruntled former employee, but while I am responding, I thought it would be good to encourage all of you to contact me PERSONALLY to see EXACTLY what Empower Group is all about.
First off, whoever "empowerscam" and "EMPOWERGROUP" are, I encourage you to contact me directly to resolve your concerns. I offer my personal email address for you to contact me directly. Writing slanderous, UNTRUE things on the internet, and posing MY WIFE'S personal blog is a very simple way to show that your intentions are NOT to educate or "warn"people, but to try and harm the very good reputation of my company.
THE LINK POSTED BY "empowerscam" IS TO MY WIFE'S PERSONAL BLOG, HONESTLY FOLKS IF ANY OF THESE PEOPLE POSTING THINGS ABOUT ME OR MY COMPANY WERE TRUE, WOULD THERE BE A NEED FOR SOMEONE TO POST MY PERSONAL FAMILY INFO UNLESS IT WAS COMPLETELY FALSE AND THEY WERE TRYING TO UPSET ME? I'mvery open to communicating with ANYONE about issues, concerns or problems, and will always respond to such concerns.
In response to your original statement I must say that I AGREE with most of the comments! Thanks for sharing some good insight. A few things that were mentioned that I would like to comment on are:
1. DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE! I completely agree with you! Empower Group has sold more than 4, 000 properties to investors from all over the world, and you will see WE ENCOURAGE people to do their research! We have built a company that delivers things as promised, and I will stand by that fact and will continue to provide my clients with the highest level of opportunity, trust, and respect.
2. REAL ESTATE IS NOT THE STOCK MARKET! I agree! If you think that buying a home is the same as buying a stock, PLEASE do not buy from us, or any other person until you are VERY CLEAR that buying a home IN NOT the same as buying a stock!
3. DO NOT INVEST IF YOU CAN NOT AFFORD IT! Our financial troubles as a country are from people being over leveraged, and borring what they could not afford! I agree with you that if you are using next months rent payment, food money, or the last $10 bucks you have, DO NOT DO IT with my company OR ANY OTHER COMPANY! Be wise in what you buy, but only invest if you have the ability to do so!
4. BUY FROM REPUTABLE SOURCES! Empower Group does not, nor will it EVER contact people that have not requested contact. My company does not need to pretend to be something it is not. I personally have traveled all over the country with high profile real estate "guru's", and with people you have never heard of. I consider my relationships my biggest asset and I value those, and candidly do not need to "pretend" to be someone, or with someone we are not.
I would encourage ANYONE to contact me directly with questions. I have many, many clients that would happily discuss their great relationship with me, and Empower Group if you would like to confirm who we are and what we do.
Posting slanderous things on the internet is very childish and telling about the person posting. If you have real concerns or questions you go to the source. If you wish to do harm to someone and you are too afraid to share LEGIT issues, you do what these people have done.
Again, feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone may have, or help any of you reading this understand how we have helped HUNDREDS of clients buy homes and land all over the country fo less than what they paid for their cars.
Cheers.
Sean Whalen
