Did you have a chance to check out Heather’s recent post on the Trulia user? In it, she captures the highlights of our most recent user survey. The survey includes a lot of nice data, but wearing my industry hat I always have to ask, “…and why should brokers and agents care?” So I decided to [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Why advertising on Trulia makes sense (yes, this is a pitch)", url: "http://www.truliablog.com/2007/10/03/why-advertising-on-trulia-makes-sense-yes-this-is-a-pitch/" });

A few days ago I attended the Coldwell Banker Elite Retreat in L.A., an annual gathering of the very best-performing Coldwell Banker agents across the country.

24. July 2007
A few weeks ago I was chatting with Roberta (personal blog), and she mentioned an interest in a Trulia Voices button that she could place on her blog or Web site.

Over the last week and a half I’ve been calling up members of Trulia Voices to find out how it’s going. There was a lot of great feedback - both negative and positive - and I thought I would share that with members of Voices: Favorite: I’m generating leads!
