It never ceases to amuse me (amaze me?) what the press finds “interesting” for a real estate “news story”. Of course it is totally predictable what Inman News finds newsworthy – hacking away at Realtor commissions. Brad Inman has been on a mission from God on this issue for some years.

There is more. I received the following email today from Dave Marron. As you will see, he is a former executive for Zip Realty. __ […]

Come with me to the newly-reconfigured Trulia.com, freshly emerged from beta status. Let’s search for an ideal house.

Plus which, if you really know what you want — […]
Here’s the news. We’ll circle back for details and implications.

Dubbed Zillow 5, the new functionality comes in three broad categories: Any user of the system — not just […]
Happiness Is A Warm Gun I swear I am not trying to pick on Zip Realty but I just couldn’t pass this one up. I saw this on Inman News. From a press release – and I quote: Real estate brokerage company ZipRealty Inc. today announced a net loss of $20.2 million in fourth-quarter 2006, […]
Eppraisal.com and Zillow.com today both announced Zip Code based advertising programs to allow agents to display ads to people searching in their particular farm areas.

Here’s a comment that got deleted earlier tonight, a pearl of wisdom issued from one orifice or another by a less-than-brilliant pundit who chose to keep his or her identity concealed. The soul and substance of this partial portion of wit: this is easily the worst blog on the RE.net Todd Seavey wrote a brilliant […]
Some of the “we do nothing for less crowd” got very good at marketing themselves to the broad public. They did this at a time when the average busboy or cab driver could have easily listed and sold a house. A few short years ago it was uncertain if the market disruption “full service at […]
