Agreed -- people love to complain and rarely share kudos. But there is also a lot of middle ground. First and foemost, The Addressory is not a review site. We offer no quantitative ratings. Rather, we are a forum where people can share information.
The goal of Addressory is to give you more data so that you can make an informed decision. If a property were to have many negative comments, it at least provides a datapoint that would prompt you to ask questions to the realtor or landlord prior to moving in.
Those questions asked above are all relevant and, we hope, become topics of conversation.
Lastly, those looking for a shot-in-the-arm answer may not find the Addressory very useful. Those who perform due diligence prior to renting or buying will find this data valuable.
- byoung2 15y agoI guess your site is more useful for the person who has a particular apartment in mind, and wants to know more before making the decision. My idea for a site was to help people find an apartment in the first place (hence the quantitative questions). I would love to know what apartment has the fastest maintenance response and the highest percent of deposit returned, while avoiding the ones with the least amount of street parking and the noisiest neighbors.
- sheraz 15y agoYou nailed it. Our value comes after someone has found a few places and is looking for more information. We have discussed building a listing engine into the site, which would aid in the search for properties. However, that is complicated and does not fit with our strategy at the moment. Right now it is all about traction.
