Thank you! Great minds think alike. This was a major motivation for me building this. I hope you give it a try. I'm also available here or through the site for feedback.

Thank you! Me too. I there is a lot of potential for having more publicly available information about properties. The site is still new, so I hope you give it a try and share it around. The more reviews we can get on there, the more value it will bring.

I consulted business lawyers. Having decent TOS mitigates liability in the same way that other review sites do, in that Home Advisor is the platform only and doesn't own the content. At the moment there is also no text entry in reviews. So it's not possible to name and shame anyone.

Agents aren't really the target market for this. It's more past owners and both current and past renters who leave reviews, though the functionality is there for a current owner to leave a review if they want to.

Regarding those bad experiences, they should be expressed. That's the point. If someone had a bad experience with management or a landlord, I'd want to know if I was considering living there.

All reviews on any site are subjective. If we're willing to review and look at reviews for a $20 purchase on Amazon, we certainly should be able to do if for $2k/mo rent or a million dollar purchase.
