Homethinking.com today unveiled an online directory of real estate agents, displaying their current activity.The site allows anyone to type in a zip code or city to see a list of nearby agents, and see at a glance how many properties they are currently representing, the highest property price, the lowest property price, and the average property price.
Users are allowed to post their own reviews for any listed agent.
Homethinking.com, in beta form, is currently monitoring real estate transactions and marketing data, as well as county records in California and will expand its data collection efforts nationwide in the coming months.
The website is also accepting payments from agents in exchange for premium placement. Payments are done on a bidding basis, where agents within the same geographic area compete against each other by raising their bids to see who gets to be listed at the top of the page.

Accepting payment for premimum listings? Hmmmm. I wonder if Google will like this? I'm sure Yahoo won't mind, though!
I just don't know if consumers care so much how the activity of an agent is really? I mean, somone who is too busy may not provide the service that an individual needs.
Any thoughts on this?
