You can find plenty of places on the internet that have real estate forums supposedly full of licensed real estate agents. All of them ready, willing and able to offer their opinion.
I think we all realize, that while this kind of thing is a great tool, you can also end up getting advice from folks who are not what they claim. That 20 year real estate veteran from Atlanta could just as easily be a 12 year old student from Reno with time to kill.
We would all like to have some level of faith in the advice we get. That is why "The Better Agent" was started. While it provides all the usual ways to interact you would expect from a modern online forum, it takes it a step further. Here at The Better Agent, to become a member of the verified agents or brokers groups, you must provide all the information regarding your real estate license.

While the advice someone provides here may be perfectly acceptable for their state, it may not apply in yours.
