Dear Zillow-meisters – Better start makin’ copies of the Trulia-nator January 9, 2008
The folks at Trulia, have just released a new feature that is cooler than the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. In fact, I think Zillow and Realtor.com will need to order more photocopiers. Trulia has just released their Trulia Publisher Platform, and the coolness of this feature is that it lets publishers use their search [...]
A Fistful of Feeds September 15, 2007
Cue up the Ennio Morricone music and head for the hills! There’s been some recent talking among the town folk, about the feeding frenzy that’s happening out there on the wild web of the west. Let’s just say San Miguel will never be the same once the schema with no XSD enters town.
Just when you [...]
Consumer Benefits of a Statewide MLS? June 3, 2007
I’ve been asked to speak before the California Association of Realtors (CAR) committee on MLS/Computer and Business Technology this Thursday in Sacramento, CA and I’m just now coming to the conclusion I may be in over my head! Despite the slightly off-topic nature (California MLS issues as oppose to Seattle MLS [...]
Tech Thursday: Are you addicted yet? May 10, 2007
After a Wacky Wednesday, I thought it might be time to return to real estate technology…
ShackPrices adds mass transit to their listing search and Greg continues to be impressed… (so am I)
USA Today provides an idea for a potential update to ShackPrices… What if Galen included the emotional map of each area?
Speaking of [...]
Death by a thousand paper cuts February 25, 2007
Every once in a while a realtor or broker from out of state will ask me to develop an IDX web site for them. Unfortunately, supporting a new MLS is very similar to supporting a foreign language. It is a large software engineering task that takes a lot of time, and since I don’t already have the [...]
Adventures in digital listing land February 10, 2007
Recently, one of my clients (Real Property Associates) asked me to automate the process of submitting (or advertising) their real estate listings and rental properties on Trulia, Google Base, and Craigslist. After implementing the feature, I thought sharing my experiences would a make an interesting blog post. (So here we are)…
As you may know, there [...]
Realtor.com takes a step closer to Trulia October 19, 2006
Come spring, Realtor.com won’t have access to the Northwest MLS, so only houses from agents who pay to participate will show up. Trulia.com, a site the “crawls” broker web sites to fill its database, will probably have more listings from western Washington from that point going forward (the NWMLS still has the most).
Usually I believe [...]
Is Trulia totally clueless? September 27, 2006
In a post I’ve been meaning to blog about, Trulia asks Is the MLS Totally Clueless? Why is “the MLS” totally clueless (they mean all 1,000+ MLS systems)? According to Trulia, because they don’t allow For Sale By Owner properties to be shown alongside MLS listings. (Is Trulia right, is this dumb? [...]
I believe that real estate agents are either in marketing or… August 27, 2006
Google is doing a major update on their backlink calculator. One of the updated datacenters is showing over 1600 backlinks to RCG while the regular search is still only showing 733. This is great news! The more often Google re-indexes backlinks the better because we get so many more (recognized) backlinks [...]
