Many real estate sites can give you a profile of a town, or even a neighborhood, but none tell you about your actual future neighbors. To fill that need comes the site Rotten Neighbor. There you can see negative (and positive) comments made about people in your neighborhood. More than just barking dogs and lack of yard maintenance, you can get the inside scoop on other items that may devalue property that you are considering. Nation sex registry data is also included to show if dangerous predators live nearby. Foreclosure data is also available. Knowing the good and the bad about a potential neighbor may influence your interest in a property and may even cause you to reconsider the price you’ll offer. Not knowing this information could end up costing you both while your living in the home and when you try to sell.

If you do have a bad neighbor, you don’t want to complain about it on Rotten Neighbor. Your own review of your bad neighbors could come back to haunt you when you try to sell your house — even if the neighbor has already moved away.

@Brett,
Exactly right. You’d be better off singing the praises of your neighbors when selling and looking for bad reviews to negotiate a lower price when buying.
