AgentsCompared.com, launched in July, helps prospective Chicagoland home buyers and sellers make more informed decisions when selecting an agent.
Knowing our limitations, we deliberately chose not to include any type of rating mechanism on the site. Too easy for anonymous reviewers (who may or may not be former clients) to defame an agent. Also too easy for an agent (however few might try it) to game the system. We also stayed away from selling broker advertising or preferred placements in search results.
Kudos to the folks Mary identified that are in a position to authenticate reviewer identity and that make such reviews publicly available (ZipRealty, Redfin & HAR).

Thank you, Inman News, for your interest. As this article notes, the site allows consumers to evaluate and compare agents on price AND non-price components such as level of service, experience, success stories, expertise, meaningful statistics, local market knowledge, etc., some/all of which are important to prospective buyers and sellers. All price disclosures by agents are optional. Michael Erdman President & Founder AgentsCompared.com
