"Help You - the Consumer - Choose the Right Real Estate Agent for YOU."

-AgentsCompared.com's Mission Statement

Prospective home buyers and sellers looking for a local real estate agent typically ask a friend for a referral, contact an agent from a prior deal, or reach out to a family member or friend who holds a license.  These approaches certainly make some sense, but unnecessarily limit the number and type of choices available to the consumer. 

The Internet, of course, can enhance the agent selection process.  By interviewing and reference-checking local agents who are first found and assessed online, buyers and sellers can expand the quantity and quality of choices available to them.  However, none of the current “Find an Agent” websites, no matter how big or elaborate, appear to have been created with the consumer in mind.  

AgentsCompared.com brings together relevant and diverse information about competing local Realtors®, helping home buyers and sellers more efficiently discover, evaluate and compare agents on the criteria most important to them. In other words, we help consumers make more informed decisions when selecting a real estate agent. 

AgentsCompared.com was devised in the summer of 2007 by Chicago lawyer Michael Erdman and publicly launched in Chicagoland on July 7, 2009.  Read his "Airing of Grievances" to learn what inspired the site's creation.
