Worth Knowing
| Company Philosophy | "Looking for a home shouldn't be a miserable experience. Information should be made freely and easily available to everyone. Most home buyers/sellers will work with a real estate professional for guidance. Great ideas come from user feedback." |
| Business Model | "...Pretty simple -- we create the best real estate search experience on the Web; you, your family & friends use us; real estate professionals and service providers advertise on our site; we continue to innovate to create an even better real estate search experience." |
| $$$ | Revenue through advertising, not lead generation. |
| Pros | Email alerts provide targeted, localized and timely real estate trends. |
| Cons | Email alerts dependent on seller/agent listing in Trulia onlne database. Profile editing not as interactive as Zillow. |
