Welcome to Truliablog!
I feel today is a special day for Trulia. I’m really excited and honored to write our first blog post. We’ve been planning on having a blog for some time, but now we have some of the resources and team in place to do it effectively. Part of the reason we were not able to launch a blog before was mostly a question of people and focus. When we launched back in September 2005, there were about 6 of us on the team and we just felt that we couldn’t devote the time to blogging regularly. We thought that when launched our blog we wanted it to start the next wave of conversations between Trulia employees, our users and the real estate industry. Now we are a little bigger we have decided to launch www.truliablog.com to share our thoughts on the world of real estate and search, and to give our readers some inside perspectives on Trulia.
At Trulia, our objective is to build the leading real estate search engine. Through this blog, we want to share with you some interesting perspectives from inside and outside of Trulia and to ask for your feedback to help us achieve this goal. What’s more, we see that today’s Web is a participatory medium, where consumers, professionals and publishers engage in huge numbers in knowledge sharing, selling, buying, discussions, and categorizing. We’d love to get our users more involved with the process and to hear from you about what you want, what thoughts you have on the world of real estate, and what you’d like to see more or less of on Trulia.
Over the last few years, we’ve been staggered at the growth of the blogosphere, and also the thousands of real estate blogs. We’re excited now to be part of this movement by launching our own blog. In a similar way that blogging has forever changed the world of journalism and the way news and commentary is created and read, we see that the real estate industry has been permanently changed with the widespread use of the Internet. Consumers are performing online real estate searches in record numbers and are more empowered and happier with their experiences than ever before. That said, we think there are many things in the real estate transaction that the Internet will never change. The overwhelming majority of home buyers will still visit open houses and work with agents to give them expert advice, information and help on what is often for many of us the biggest financial decision we will ever make.
Everyone at Trulia is excited about helping consumers, agents and brokers to navigate the world of online real estate. We look forward to you joining us on what is going to be a fascinating journey.
