Realtor 2.0 Data Points Wanted

Monday, May 5th, 2008

AgentRank™ is going communal and we want to include your data points if you operate a website where real estate agent participation is scored. Some data points I’d personally like to see include:

  1. Zillow’s Home Q&A - A real estate agent’s answers are flagged as either being “helpful” or “not helpful”. Data point wanted: the ratio between an agent’s “helpful” and “not helpful” answers.
  2. Trulia Voices - Similar to above, a real estate agent’s answers voted “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” by visitors. Additionally, a “best answer” is chosen among all answers to a question. Two data points wanted: 1) ratio between “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” answers and 2) the ratio between “best answer” selections and total number of answers given.
  3. ActiveRain “Featured Posts” - Blog posts are nominated to be “featured” on the ActiveRain homepage. Data point wanted: the total number of “featured posts” earned by a real estate agent.

Any other data points you can suggest?
