CHICAGO (WBBM) -- People trying to sell a home? You'll want to know about Web sites that let potential buyers critique your property after seeing it.
The operators of ZipRealty.com, reply.com and sites like them claim honest feedback can be helpful in real estate deals. But real estate agents aren't so sure.
One group tells the Wall Street Journal a home seller could sabotage neighboring homeowners also looking to sell. Other real estate agents suggest a prospective buyer could scare away competing bids.
Some of the online postings found on the sites are rude, taking aim at the cleaning habits of the owner of a million-dollar home or, in the case of a rental property in California, a reviewer claimed to have seen rats the size of dogs.
