As we looked back at last year in yesterday’s 2009 Trulia Momentum Report, you could see that we had reached some pretty significant milestones. These product and website enhancements helped us improve the user experience on Trulia which in turn helped fuel our phenomenal growth within the real estate industry. It also helped us win the 2009 Webby Award for Real Estate, which our team took great pride in receiving.What was not mentioned, and what we consider to be the backbone of our company growth and culture, is our people.
The reason a company is successful is because of it’s people. And it all starts from the top. Leading Trulia, we are very lucky to have two very passionate, savvy and visionary people leading our team - Pete Flint and Sami Inkinen. Not only do all of us Trulians think they are great leaders but it turns out that Inman News does too. They were named to Inman’s list of 100 Most Influential Leaders in Real Estate, again. Well deserved. Congrats guys!
According to the report:
“Inman News has compiled the latest annual list of the 100 most influential people in real estate. This list reflects the industry’s best and brightest, who have risen to the challenge posed by a battered economy and housing hardships on an immense scale. The list includes those individuals from outside of the real estate industry whose actions influence the business of buying and selling homes. The people on this list embody leadership, innovation, ingenuity, power and persistence.”
So getting back to our people. Without great leadership, a ship can sink. We have many everyday heroes at Trulia that the public never get’s to meet or hear about. In 2010, we’ll change that. I look forward to spotlighting our team in the upcoming year. Onward!
Bonus:
Trulia also picked up an award for Best US Website of 2009 from Metrixlab. Thanks guys and congrats team!
