I've wondered about the opt-in consent piece because realtors seem to have kept themselves from being reviewed on Yelp. I have some mighty complaints about a couple that we've dealt with, who either misled or straight out lied. I know other people have had similar troubles, and I wish there were reviews of realtors on Yelp. But I'm not going to create a page for a realtor and submit a review because that would make me the target of his/her company.
- reaperducer 4y agoIn my experience, when real estate agents feel even slightly aggrieved, the first thing they do is call a lawyer. For a company like Yelp!, it may be simply easier to delete than to defend.
- gnicholas 4y agoSounds like a market gap for a startup with a spine. And there's an easy exit — after you capture the market and deal with the legal issues (not actually difficult in this case, IMO as a former lawyer), Yelp acquires you! More importantly, you can provide a valuable service by helping people avoid bad/unethical realtors.
