Is Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Homefinder.com, Helping Brokers & Agents?
 
Robert Vegas Bob Swetz has been wondering for several years now if these type of websites/networks are really helping the industry or hurting it?
 
I know Trulia bought ActiveRain.com and then Zillow bought Trulia so Vegas Bob has to really be careful about what he says around the World Wide Web.
 
So instead of Vegas Bob expressing his concerns and opinions, he was wondering if readers would like to share their incite to my question.
 
And with these websites and networks already in place, how many more will follow and what what the impact be?

 Great post! I am going to bookmark this post. I want to spend time making sure that I have a presence on all of these sites. I do think that Zillow, Trulia etc. is good for us. I know we have to buy zip codes etc, but the buyers and sellers are on these sites, so I believe that is where our profiles should be.

Hello Ann ... thanks for stopping by, and I also think what your thinking. I believe these type of sites/networks are the "Wave of the Future" and we must accept them whether we like them or not ;o)

I, too, feel like we have to be careful about what we say VB which is really a shame. I received some good business from Trulia - but not because it was handed to me but due to my efforts. 

Lately, I have experienced some major frustration with my Trulia account and their customer service. There are so many screw ups, it's not funny, and nobody there cares enough to fix it.
