A recent article entitled, "10 Things Real Estate Listing Sites Won't Say" found on the MarketWatch.com Web site stated it was very difficult for home buyers to find reviews on real estate agents.
Maybe that is the case in general around the nation, but Massachusetts and New Hampshire consumers have a few good sources to find reviews and information about real estate buyer agents, as well as listing agents, when searching for help in buying a home or selling a home.
The article used as an example the short-lived attempt by real estate company Redfin to roll out a feature called "Scouting Report" that provided information about agents' sales and other data. Redfin pulled the plug on Scouting Report about a week after it's September 2011 debut because of reported "inaccuracies in the data."
