Dream Finders is not one of them! John Hiebel is the owner and is a very honest person. John has been in the RV business for many years and has had no complaints or law suits. He does not charge a fee unless he finds a Lessee/Buyer and a deal is made, then it a sellers fee of 1% of the sell price to the seller and a buyers fee of $750.00 plus a consultant fee of $500.00 for checking out the buyer/Lessee and providing guidance with the contract. Nothing is paid until the deal closes and all monies go through the seller. Any money down is the sellers not the agents! Unlike others he has one contract that is a Lease and Purchase contract, it can be any length the seller and buyer agree to. I am the consultant to Dream Finders and always encourage all parties to have an Attorney review the contract before signing. The RV never goes to Dream Finders and is listed on their website at not cost or obligation. Other places that I have researched get a large down payment from the buyer and pocket it as their fee, sometimes also collecting a fee from the seller! They use 3 different contracts, 1 between them and the seller, 1 between them and the buyer and 1 between the buyer and seller. These places do no check on the buyers or sellers and many people have been hurt by them. I try to insure that everyone is protected as far as the law allows. In the last 6 months I have discovered 4 buyers who were using fake I.D.'s and 2 who tried to pass off phony cashier’s checks! Then of course there were others who just lied about everthing. Also there was 1 seller who was 10 months behind on their loan and the bank could not find them. None of these deals went through! I like the Lease/Purchase because it gives so many protections to the RV owner, including in most states the ability to file criminal charges if someone fails to pay for the RV or fails to return it after default. And providing false information to obtain the RV is also a crime. Yes sometimes people may decide not to pay as agreed but unlike a sale's contract or bank loan the owner of the RV has a lot of options and protections. I also encourage the Lessor/Seller to install a GPS locator in the RV, They can be bought at Target for less than $200.00 and are great! Do some deals go bad? Of course they do, 4 or 5 out of hundreds done by John in the last year, and everyone was due to people losing their job or due to health problems. All of them returned the RV to the owner with no problem. I hope this helps you understand RV leasing a little better. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
