Should be possible to parse through news feeds for agent names in real estate related articles. Also, blog posts on their personal blog. Then allow the users on the website to rate them as helpful or not. How about snippets from associated press articles the agent is quoted in?

Therefore I cannot legally list my recent sales on the site. Unfortunately the site will not allow us to enter the basic data without listing the sold price. I would suggest the site be updated to allow sales to be posted without the sold price so as not to conflict with the state laws regarding sales. Thank you for your time.

Realius is developing a series of Fantasy Real Estate(TM) games. Our first game, Price Me Now, gives players a real estate IQ based on their ability to predict the sales price of homes on the market. If you have good reputation data on agents, perhaps there is an opportunity to collaborate. Let me know. Chuck Hi:

It would provide the information that everyone is looking for. However, I think that there would be no way to create a "one stat" show. For example, if you just look at batting average, you are missing a lot of the game. What happened in those at bats? At the very least you'd have an AVG-SLG-OBS situation, where there are three pieces of the puzzle coming into play and trying to give a broader picture of the real estate puzzle.
