Looking for an Agent? Check This Out
I often get asked if I can direct people to an agent who handles, for instance, only foreclosures.
There’s a new website that just launched that may help.
It’s called: AgentsCompared.com
It was started by an attorney in Chicago just a week ago. It’s free to users (and to agents who list their information on it.)
This site might help some of you looking for a agent for a specific part of real estate (foreclosures, multi-family etc.)
Thanks for your interest in the site, Sabrina.
To be clear, while the site is free for consumers, we do presently charge a modest fee for agents to register. For a limited time, agents interested in a free trial can contact me directly.

Great site recommendation! Easy to use and narrows down agents by what they specialize in. This should be really helpful to those who are shopping around.
One thing is missing though: Shouldn’t there be a rating/comment box like on Amazon.com or almost all other shopping networks? Previous client reviews would be extremely helpful–almost like a recommendation on LinkedIn?
this website CHARGES agents to register.
at least it LOOKS like it does – when i tried to register as an agent, the next button says something like “click to go to payment page” 🙂 i ran away!
Scam site. If you want a good agent just call me 🙂
The term ‘a good agent’ seems to be contridictory. I don’t even 100% trust the ones I deal with regularly…and they are my nieces and nephew.

Unless, of course, they tell you the Phoenix rental market is strong in the face of all market reports to the contrary. LOL.
The rental market is strong in Phoenix for independently owned apartments. The only ones struggling to keep afloat are large complexes which have a set budget they must follow. Add to that all of the month free or other incentives that they have to offer to fill those vacant apartments.
All of the market reports that you listed? One was merely a three paragraph blog which a poster claimed was false information…much the same shit you post here. The other market report link you posted dealt only with Large complex communities….something my independant realtor acquiantance does not dabble in. His properties are smaller multi unit buildings and THEY are not feeling any pressure to fill vacancies as they are already filled. Sorry again for trying to turn my comments into meaningless posts.
Now get back to that short bus, they are missing their commander.
Well, you are halfway to my conclusion since yesterday. Then you said that it was ALL media hype to convince former homeowners that they are getting rental deals that don’t really exist.
Now, you claim that the “large complexes” and “smaller multi unit buildings” operate in completely different universes. Not to mention the hilarity that large complexes are the “only ones struggling to keep afloat.” In Phoenix? LOL.
I suppose tomorrow you will be in complete agreement with me while declaring your genius and wealth.
All bow down to westloopelo, god of real estate wealth. Let’s pretend he’s not worrying about losing his ass right now.
Forrealestate: Thanks for checking in that you tried to add yourself to the site and “ran away.” ha! ha!
If agents are charged a fee- how many will be willing to sign up for a new site like that?
Thank you Peter for the shout out!!
I am not worried about ‘losing my ass’ right now, not at all.
If my places do not sell, they are rented and remain a vital page in my portfolio.
Why are you concerned?
@thecondoist – Thanks for your comments. I agree that in a perfect world, the ability to view feedback from prior clients would likely be very helpful. But perhaps with a few exceptions, I’ve not yet seen it done on any site that offers information about professionals that isn’t subject to serious abuse. One exception may be Redfin.
As for the LinkedIn mechanism, I believe the person receiving the recommendation must “approve” it before it gets posted. Note that AgentsCompared.com’s Premium Plan similarly permits agents to post former client reviews on their Profile Page.
Thanks for your input!
@Sabrina & @forrealestate – Look for some news on the price front in the near future.

You say a lawyer started it. Makes me want to start a site called LawyersCompared and actually make it factual.
Please note we’ve changed our pricing – the standard plan is now $1/month, and the premium plan is $9/month or $99/year.
