truliacom: the battle of the DOJ and NAR - 06/11/10 08:25 AM

Carla Jacobs wrote: "NAR fought a hard legal battle when the Dept of Justice filed an anti-trust lawsuit against them (years ago).

This, and this alone opened up the IDX (para)sites of

Barefoot a Home Buyer's question could just as likely be asked on Zillow, ActiveRain or other online real estate sites. You as a consumer have lots of places online to get information about Foreclosures... but are they Foreclosures? Are the properties on the list for sale now or ever?

truliacom: Trulia Questions Question - 04/20/08 09:44 AM
I guess it is called Trulia Voices... not Trulia Questions. Above is a question from a seller in Central Ohio on Trulia.com. I removed the sellers name. In fact he said what Columbus suburb he is in and I changed that to the generic Columbus. Three agents have answered, one from our market, two from outside our market. He says "My wife and I have our home listed with an agent" I was tempted to respond, I started to respond that I did not think a bonus to an agent was a good idea, he was better off to offer an incentive

truliacom: What Columbus Ohio could learn from Zillow and Trulia in this web 2.0 world - 11/11/07 05:48 AM

According to a Dayton blog, the capital of Ohio, the biggest and best Columbus in the US wants to change it's name because of confusion with the other lesser cities in the US named Columbus. No offense meant to the other cities named Columbus.

truliacom: Tub vs. Shower - 01/11/07 06:32 PM
Visit my other blog, Discover Columbus for a very important issue: Tub or Shower? Today on Inman News Illyce Glink had a very entertaining column .... bath or shower...It started out I believe with a question from older people who wanted to take out a bath tub in their home and replace it with a shower. Would this ruin the value of the home? Should they crawl over a tub each day to preserve that value or have a convenient walk in shower installed? A question about value of real estate, of the value of bathroom fixtures turned into a question of bath vs.
