As traditional advertising and marketing lose their grip, people are taking their cues as to what’s good and bad from peer reviews on the Internet.
You can see ratings and reviews on almost anything at sites such as Amazon, Yelp, Trip Advisor, Best Buy, and more. Almost anything: you can’t see what others are saying about what may be the largest purchase you’ll ever make – a newly-built home.
We’ve just launched, in a beta version, the ability for you to rate and review new construction projects in Chicagoland at our NewHomeNotebook site. This is just one small piece of a series of capabilities we’ll be adding to NewHomeNotebook over the course of the next year. And, to the best of our knowledge, NewHomeNotebook is the first Web site to offer this capability.
Yo staff will be posting info and updates on NewHomeNotebook to make it easy for you to track the progress of a project over time.
Add your ratings and reviews on NewHomeNotebook on projects that you’ve visited. You’ll need to register with a valid e-mail address to write a review.
We’re doing our best to ensure that every new construction project and condo conversion in Chicagoland is listed at NewHomeNotebook, but that’s a huge challenge. If you’re aware of a project that we’ve missed, fill out this form and we’ll check out the project and add it.
And, we ask your patience as we debug this beta version and polish the rough edges.
