Trulia vs. Realtor.com

Hello Everyone,

Received this email today and wanted to share! Although Realtor.com is GREAT, many of us today are on a budget & that's where Trulia comes in, just as effective and FREE! See for yourself....

Agents often ask "How does Trulia compare to Realtor.com?". To find out, we invite you to take the Trulia Challenge. It isn't exactly a taste test, but we think you'll find the results (i.e. get a whole lot more for a whole lot less) to be delicious. Take the first step of the Trulia Challenge and decide for yourself.

Greetings from the North Georgia Mountains!

Thanks for the post! I have been passively using Trulia for some time now, but I can see that it's time to take a closer look...

Along with Trulia you might want to consider Zillow. The nice thing about both Trulia and Zillow is that they have applications that run on PDAs like the IPhone. So while I am driving clients around I can reference pricing on a home that we pass by that is not on my list of homes to see. That is if the listing Realtors post it on Trulia or Zillow.

I will recommend this to all of my agent friends. I heard 1 buddy of mine complaining the other day.

Morning Elaine, We all need as much exposure as we can get. Trulia does a very nice job.

Our MLS has a syndicated feed with Trulia, but not Zillow. We also have the ability to put our listings onto Realtor.com through our MLS, but I would rather drive traffic to me and my listings rather than let Realtor.com or Zillow farm out the "leads" to other local brokers.

I'm also happy using Trulia. I try to make full use of anything that's affordable or free. It's a must these days!

More than likely your listings are on Trulia, but if you want to enhance your listings and add your photo and contact information, you must set up a free account.

Comparing Trulia to Realtor.com is fairly simple. Realtor.com gets 4 times the monthly traffic - that's all I need to hear. Will I avoid Trulia? No, but I won't spend too much time on it. A better comparison is Trulia to Zillow.

I do get hits from Trulia, but I think that Realtor.com still gets more visitors. I am paying for ads on both sites. Trulia is definitely more affordable.
