RE/MAX Results chooses Trulia, calls Edina Realty bluff.
RE/MAX Results Partners with Trulia to Reach Home Buyers in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin
Ginger Wilcox:
“As part of this agreement, nearly 700 RE/MAX Results real estate professionals will receive prominent placement and brand exposure for their property listings on Trulia. 23 million home buyers, sellers and renters come to Trulia each month to search for homes.”
Seems like all I hear about is Zillow lately. But it appears that Trulia is making some moves of its own. Since Edina Realty pulled the plug on Trulia, Realtor.com and other portals it was only a matter of time before one of their competitors jumped at the opportunity. Smart move by RE/MAX Results in my opinion.
Now the interesting thing is if the newly formed Berkshire Hathaway Home Services will continue the same strategy as it did with Edina.
ShowingTime adds 4 MLS providers.
“We are thrilled to have these Associations and MLSs partner with us to better equip their members,” said ShowingTime Executive Vice President Michael Lane. “ShowingAssist adds measurable efficiencies to the appointment scheduling process. With our recently completed update, members now have access to a ShowingCart, mapping, and improved emails and reports. Some also added customizable feedback, which enables sellers to view their own listing activity report; and enhanced notifications, which include 2-way text messaging so agents can confirm, decline or reschedule appointments from their smart phones when they can’t take a call.”
This is a very interesting space. I believe there is going to be a lot more innovation here in the future.

Inman News: RPR a drain on NAR finances
“A national property database built by a subsidiary of the National Association of Realtors that was originally envisioned as becoming self-sustaining by 2012 has cost NAR nearly $58 million to date, and the trade group is now spending more than $18 million a year to sustain the effort.”
This is Andrea V. Brambila’s first paragraph of a article on Inman News today.
Why hasn’t someone been fired over this?
