Are you a rotten neighbor?

Have you seen the rotten neighbor site (rottenneighbor - dot - com)?  I check this site periodically to try and figure out why a homeowner would use it. I can only conclude that the complaints must come from renters.  Why would a homeowner possibly devalue their home or neighborhood by reporting a rotten neighbor?  Am I wrong in this thinking? 

 Have you checked out your neighborhood? I was fascinated as I looked around and read some of the complaints...

Interesting stuff - check it out and let me know if you have a different perspective on it.

I almost ashamed to say that I have checked out "rotten neighbor."  I did find one comment from someone about three miles from where I live that I can't repeat in this forum.  It was quite shocking!

Yes - I was a little surprised at the lack of real quality comments  - at least of the ones I could find.  I just can't really figure it out or why people would use it - even as a buyer.

That is too much. This is one of those website I will just stay away from. Since you are backlinking to them, you might be making them more popular. You can most likely remove the hyperlink if you think that is worthwhile.

Buyers are looking for someone to tell them the bad stuff since agents most often only want to tell them the good stuff.  But you are right.  Owners have just as much self-interest as agents, if not moreso, to downplay the bad stuff.

Hi Charles - yes you are right - the posts I saw on the site don't really warrant a back link form me. I fixed it.

Hi ARDELL - I am not on eof those agents - I actually drove my clients around the block the back way on one of my latest deals to show them that there was a junk yard.  I woul dmuch rather they know I told them then finding it on their own and thinking I had neglected to tell them about it.  I agree - the consumer needs somewhere to go, but the quality of posts left much to be desired in my opinion:)

This is one of those sites where it often seems that "bad neighbors" are reporting bad neighbors. :-)

I can sense the frustration... but there has to be a better way.

Courtney~ I haven't checked out the site yet, but I bet people with a gripe love this type of site to let loose on.
