Announcers get very touchy with listings data, so even compiling listings from multiple sources is hard without getting cease-and-desisted. Then, realtors will certainly flood competing announcements and post fake reviews. It's an aggressive market.

Honestly just market to customers that feel deceived. They just log in and enter an address and post a review. No listing data needed.

You could get really sophisticated with quality checking reviews.

(We tend to believe all review systems have to be bad because that’s all we see. But most reviews systems are broken because a working system is a conflict of interest for the platform they’re on.)
