Any websites that rate realtors? (feedback, agent, sales, brokers)

I looked and didn't find anything, but at the moment I don't have internet access at home and so didn't have much time to look.

Living in Michigan, I need to choose my realtor carefully. I don't want an agent who basically sells as a hobby, I want a good consistent agent who has consistently provided results for his clients.

Don't trust websites that either rate Realtors or say that these are the best Realtors in the area. Many of these sites are "pay for" sites where a Realtor pays to have their name listed/rated. There is usually little to no due diligence done by the website on the agent except for payment.
I would suggest you call two or three real estate agencies in your area and speak with the Managing Broker. Tell the Broker what you are looking for and tell him/her that you would like the names of at least two Realtors in their office who meet your criteria. Look at the websites of these Realtors, call them and do a phone interview, and then narrow your list down to two or three that you actually invite to your house to make a presentation.
There are a number of threads on this site that list questions you need to ask and what expectations to set.
Good luck!

There is no such website. Some places have lists of Best Agents, but those are usually agents that pay to be listed there, they are not listed there by their peers or customers.

Interview 3-4 agents, ask for recent references, not sales they made years ago. If you are looking to sell, check their marketing on their current listings. You need to feel a connection and a sense of trust in your agent.

May be you even want to check their education and if any rate of complaints that were filed etc. by the local real estate board.

Good luck.

If you go to ActiveRain Real Estate Network or RealTown - Real Estate Social Network, Real Estate Articles, Real Estate Blogs you can see which agents blog in your area. You can read their blogs and get a feel for who they are. That might help you to get a professional agent.

I agree, avoid the agent ranking websites, they are worthless.

There is one QSC, Quality Service Certification

My franchise has opened the door for them, they send me an email everytime I sell something. They will get feedback from the buyer and seller so they can rate me and you can go online to look up my ratings and comments. I've not participated with it and I believe there is a fee. So I'm sure there are lots of good brokers not on there, but you might find a good one that is.
I don't know their website address, as if I get on, I have to do it thru my franchise and passwords.
