Yikes, now I need to bring that feed current! Being able to claim our properties, and edit them is a terrific idea! Thank you, Jeff! Yikes, now I need to bring that feed current!

Being able to claim our properties, and edit them is a terrific idea!

Trulia has spent a great deal of developmental resources to allow offices of any size to display their listings on Trulia. We now accept feeds of any size- even a single property- so long as the feed is updated regularly and so its data stays fresh. Just create a feed and then submit it through the form at www.trulia.com/submit_feed The manual submission idea is a good one, and it would also be valuable in enabling agents to correct any flawed information about their properties. This would likely require agents to register, somehow “claim” properties as theirs, and have the ability to edit price, description, sqft, picture, etc. We’ve got all sorts of ideas in the Trulia pipeline to reach our goal: to be the best real estate search experience the web has to offer. Stay tuned. Pardon the growing pains. Trulia has spent a great deal of developmental resources to allow offices of any size to display their listings on Trulia.

The manual submission idea is a good one, and it would also be valuable in enabling agents to correct any flawed information about their properties.

A while back I created a feed of our listings for Trulia. They never appeared. When I emailed Trulia and asked why, I received a reply that feeds of less than 50 properties were not accepted. So I am stuck with hoping that Trulia picks up a feed from one of our print advertisers, such as Homes and Land. As it is, some of our listings appear in Trulia, some do not. The ones that do appear are older, not newer. Is that helping the public? When the newest listings in an area do not appear? Although, this thought flies in the face of Trulia's business model: I would suggest that you allow submission of individual listings by brokers or private parties - online - using a data form that would require input of basic information such as address and square footage. Then, in the event of duplicates, your policy could be to give the manuaaly inputted submission direct from the broker or private party priority over the record submitted by a third party - such as Homes and Land.
