    RottenNeighbor.com - Are Your New Neighbors Cool?

    When I first saw this site, I thought it was a joke. And in effect it may be, but it purports to be quite serious.

    It is a real estate search engine site that wants to empower new homeowners about the people living on their potential new streets. The creator is quite serious in thinking that is the one piece of information new homeowners never have, and yet it hugely impacts one's quality of life. That is true, I can attest to that. However, when I entered my home zip code the complaints registered were suspiciously similar in writing style and issue...making me think people are just taking this site for what it seems like, a joke. The emphasize on the site that they are not part of the real estate industry and only make money from advertising on the site.

    Why Rottenneighbor.com might be a killer

    It is true that bad neighbors can sour any living situation, and that it is nearly impossible to figure out who your neighbors are before purchasing a home or condo. This site seems to be part of the new online consumer revolution aiming to arm the home buyer with as much relevant info as possible to help them make an informed decision.

    Some questions about Rottenneighbor.com

    While it is true any neigbhor can sour a living situation, it is not true that it is easy, fair or practical to write about it on an open forum. Who is really writing these comments about neighbors and how does the site monitor posts to avoid teenage boys writing up anything and everything they can think to write? Plus, who in seriousness would write about a neighbor and not fear some kind of retaliation?
