Got this message from Trulia in response to my complaint about not showing up in certain areas on Trulia's "Find A PRo" real estate agent search joke application.

Basically, you will ONLY show up as an agent in your PRIMARY location.  If you are an agent like me who has several small towns in your market area where you work, you will NOT show up in results other than for the first town you have on your list. 

This lets down not only the agents who have spent lots of time helping to build Trulia's web presence in exchange for some "link love," but it also lets down the consumers wanting an agent familiar with a small town - but no agents have chosen it as their "primary" location, so the answer is "No Results Found."

Or they get bombarded with shallow profiles created quickly and just as quickly forgotten, some of them are for agents who are no longer in the business.  WAY TO GO TRULIA!

There is no reason why agents with multimple locations in their profile (since Trulia ALLOWS IT, DUH) to show up in search results for that location.

RUDY from Trulia was real quick to impress everyone and answer my post withitn minutes of it being posted, but like the answer pasted below, that I received in email (complete with a solicitation to buy Trulia Pro) a few minutes ago...it was hollow and not worth a hill of beans.

I promised Rudy yesterday that if I got a resolution to this problem I would brag about how awesome Trulia is - but guess what?  All I got was a trite note regurgitating what is already known, and a "by the way" invitation to try their paid service. 

NO THANKS!  The "free" service is worthless enough without PAYING for it!

Hi Karen,

Thank you for contacting Trulia.

Your profile will appear in the first location you've listed within your profile. At this time, the location you have as your first location is "Hawley, PA."

Your profile does appear in a search within this location. Please view the screenshot attached or refer to the URL below:

http://www.trulia.com/voices/directory/Hawley-pros--17809

If you would like your profile to appear in a search for "Greentown, PA" or "Tafton PA," you can change the first location shown in your profile to one of these cities.

Cheers,

Stacy Gee
