Hey hey hey fellow BiggerPocketeers!

BiggerPockets is always looking for ways to improve the site - and what we hear over and over is:

We've heard you. And our answer is BiggerPockets Reviews! 

BiggerPockets' Editorial Team regularly reviews products and services that directly affect you, the investor. These are objective reviews from us - they are not paid for or sponsored by the company. 

BUT

We want to make sure we're sharing what YOU want to know! So please tell us WHAT you want to know and WHO you want reviewed.

Feel free to comment here or send me a message on the site or via email at [email protected].

Great idea, seems very useful for initial information on a product or service. As a possible consumer, I would also like to read peer reviews and a rating system "a la" Amazon. The way is designed now a reader probably won't come back to revisit down the road. Good tool for my toolbox regardless, maybe phase 2?

 I am not a fan of Amazon style reviews. Amazon reviews are highly manipulated. Most of the top reviewers get the product for free and the companies themselves use armies of fake people to boost reviews. The other issue is people coming on to leave angry reviews based on just a single experience. If they do allow member reviews, it should be limited to PRO members or people who have a certain post count.
