Homethinking Allows Agents to Build Credibility Through Real Estate Predication Markets

Professional real estate agents can make predictions on the direction of real estate prices in their local area. Then, depending on whether the predictions turn out to be correct, their ranking is affected in Homethinking's real estate agent search results.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 2, 2007 -- Homethinking, a site that helps consumers choose and connect with real estate agents (http://www.homethinking.com) based on their sales history and consumer reviews, today unveiled a third measure of digital credibility at the Inman Connect conference in San Francisco: home price predictions.

Professional real estate agents can make predictions on the direction of real estate prices in their local area. Then, depending on whether the predictions turn out to be correct, their ranking is affected in Homethinking's real estate agent search results.

By allowing agents to showcase future predictions and eventually if those predictions come true, they are able to establish trust and credibility more quickly with home owners," said Niki Scevak, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Homethinking LLC.
