Why Do YOU use Trulia? Grrr!
How about some bookmark love? ::
The nice folks over at Trulia asked me to be a guest blogger. I have to say that it was an honor, since I think that their map search is just about the best thing for people researching Real Estate.
Much to the annoyance of a colleague who likely finds himself in the "I don't get it" camp when it comes to Trulia, people are actually finding what they want on their map search.
Proving also, that the Trulia - Prudential relationship is alive and well, our office just conducted a brief training highlighting how Trulia helps advertise the listings for agents. My in-office colleagues welcomed the information. The idea that Trulia could be the brains behind the New York MLS means that they have truly "arrived" and that other brokers nationwide could learn by working with them. It is a pretty hard struggle to swim upstream against the flow of new oncoming technology. This is especially true when the public is what is driving the strength of that flow.
To the folks who still don't get it, I urge them to be flexible, not to resist change, and to give your website visitors what they want.

Rory,
You are very wise to be flexible in regards to the onslaught of new technology in the real estate space; it is important to provide as much information as possible to your clients.
I appreciate this post as it recognizes the "uphill" battle I fight everyday to become technology savvy in my own business
