How Rankings Work
Every agent on this site is ranked using the same transparent process. Here's how we turn raw review data into the risk scores you see on each city page.
Risk score
Every agent gets a risk score out of 10, calculated directly from their bad-review count. For every 10 negative reviews, one point is added. An agent with 100 or more bad reviews hits the maximum score of 10/10. The higher the score, the more complaints are on record.
Source refresh
Rankings are refreshed periodically as new review data becomes available. When records are updated, every affected city page, agent profile, and risk score is regenerated to reflect the latest information. The Updated date on each page tells you when rankings were last refreshed.
How This Site Works
We collect public review data, score it, and publish transparent city-by-city rankings. Community votes and investigation requests are handled separately so they never interfere with the underlying data.
See something that's not right?
If you believe a review or ranking is fake, misleading, from someone who was not a client, contains private information or violates our review policy, you can request an investigation here.
FAQ
Common questions about source data, risk scoring, community votes, and review investigations.
What is Worst Real Estate Agents?
Worst Real Estate Agents is a free consumer tool that ranks real estate agents by their negative review history. We publish city-by-city watchlists so you can check an agent's track record before hiring them, covering complaints like poor communication, pressure tactics, missed deadlines, and more.
Are the risk scores final?
Risk scores are calculated automatically from an agent's bad-review count and update whenever new data is published. They're not a permanent verdict. If an agent improves their track record or a review is found to be inaccurate through our investigation process, scores can change over time.
Can visitors submit their own experience?
Yes. If you've worked with an agent listed on the site, you can submit a confidential vote describing your experience. We ask for your email to verify the submission and prevent abuse, but your name is never displayed publicly.
Can a record be investigated?
Absolutely. If you believe a ranking or review is fake, misleading, contains private information, or was submitted by someone who wasn't a real client, you can request an investigation through our contact page. We take accuracy seriously, and every investigation request is reviewed.
