Mortgage broker Soylent Green is People sent me this ... Redfin is now putting real estate agent production data on line for consumers to see. Here is the link: Scouting Report - Search for Any Agent.

Update: This isn't everywhere.

Redfin provides the price range of homes sold, the median price, average days on market, price changes, and current listings.

If you don't know an agent, just put in blog friend Jim the Realtor: "Jim Klinge". He is pretty active in San Diego. According to Redfin, Jim has represented 31 Sellers and 23 Buyers in last 12 months. That is 54 total - one per week! And he still takes my phone calls :-)

If you sign up with Redfin (no spam), they provide some more information.

According to Soylent Green is People: "There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth about this. Perhaps those with weak constitutions should find another employment path than sales." CR says: Information is power! This is great.
