Royal Empire Ventures

[James Hutson]

I saw a bandit sign on the side of the road in Raleigh, NC that advertised "Real Estate Mentor Seeking Apprentice 10-20k a month"

I called the number because I am looking for a mentor to learn from. I know this seemed sketchy but I keep reminding myself of those three important words "You never know".

Left a message and got a call back a week later (which was a few minutes ago).  The woman said the company is Royal Empire Ventures.  She liked what I said about my goals and experience (the little I have).  She pretty quickly announced to me that she would email me a link for a webcam interview online tomorrow night. 

They have been expanding in our area (Durham, Chapel Hill and Charlotte) and I believe are from up north originally (NY or NJ).

Before I allow myself to progress any further with them, does anyone know anything about these guys? I want to make sure its not a scam or something. Couldn't dig up too much on them outside a basic website and their FB page. I am a Realtor in Cary and am learning about real estate before I begin investing in it--just additional info for ya.

Thank you!

Are they the yellow signs with red lettering?  They have littered the Triad with their signs too. My guess  is that you will be their bird dog and will do all of their work to make a fraction of what you could make without them.  

Would a real mentor use bandit signs to find a mentee?  It's generally the mentee who finds the mentor over time and through personal relationships. So that's their first lie. Are you going to believe whatever else they tell you?
