| What We Say: | Trulia.com breaks site-tool ground with the "Trulia Alert.” Users can mark any address in Trulia’s national database, even if it is not listed for sale, and receive an email if that house or neighboring properties go on the market. Claiming 1.5 million users a month nationwide, Trulia.com’s “Heat Maps,” real estate guides and numerous other tools add another great online option for house hunters, realtors and sellers. |

Reviewed on October 07 2009 by Trina.poland Trulia is great. My fiance and I have used it quite a bit during our house hunt. The pictures are big, the "neighborhood" feature is very helpful when negotiating as it gives you the ability to see what houses in the area are selling for... |
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. |
