My question after reading the headlines this morning is:
Is TRULIA Taking Over the Real Estate Online Search World?
With the aquisition of Active Rain, Market Leader and Now Perhaps Zillow perhaps Trulia is Taking Over the RE Search World. What do you think?
In less than one year, Trulia stock has gone from $26 a share to $56 a share today (or at least at the moment I wrote this). If only i had known.....LOL
Will there eventually be one place, one website to which all prospective clients use as their "go to site" shortly? What's next? Redfin? Realtor.com?
But the light at the end of this tunnel for me is that perhaps we WILL get rid of the Zestimates and then maybe the information on these combined sites MIGHT finally be accurate.
Or at least one (site) that does not provide incorrect or misleading info on a daily basis that we have to explain away to the client, informing them it is wrong and why it is wrong.
BUT how would i know better than Zillow?????
SIGH!
Exhausting at times.
Clients will forever more always look online. And good for them IF THEIR INFO IS ACCURATE.
I hope this combination of onine portals at least provides clients with an accurate spot to start.
Less explaining away for me. Less chance the new client will think I must be wrong because if it's ONLINE, IT MUST BE RIGHT. Right?"
