After counting up all the votes, there’s a clear winner. But
before I announce it I want to again thank both Sara and
Fran for putting on an amazing show, giving all of us a
firm and comprehensive tour of their knowledge.
No matter who wins this “contest” today, it is clear to
me that everyone is a winner.
Zillow for leading technology and break through
services for an ever growing industry.
Trulia for unlocking the inner blogger and social
media guru within us all.
and
You as member of the real estate community!
ok… drum roll.
With a total of 109 votes cast, winning with 56%
of the vote…
TRULIA with 62 votes wins!

As it goes, I’m putting together another battle call
soon, I’ll be inviting both Trulia and Zillow to do a
round robin against… Realtor. com!

It’s me Justin, did you make it to the Thursday night’s live
“Zillow v. Trulia” call?
If not, I did record it and as promised, it’s now available
for download.
I’ll tell you it was truly a boxing match and even though there
was a little “mud slinging”, one thing there there was no shortage
of was competent answers!
Going for the gold!
Running through the questions like gold meadlist Jessy Owen,
in his 1936 Olympic 100 meter dash, Fran and Sara cleared the
hurdles to make it very clear who your “champion” is.

Pulling no punches, the information in this call will save you
literally hours of research and give you the clear tools to make
a decision where your time and money is best spent.
I’m impartial.
I’m just the referee.
I have no vested interest in either one.
However I do have a vested interest in helping Realtors discover
new, simple, and low cost ways to boost business (no cliche).
After rave reviews poured into my inbox this morning from my
new “teleconference” friends like Bill Gottfried, a Realtor from
Houston who said…
“GREAT PROGRAM TONIGHT!!!! Very well done!!!!!
Next up - Google vs. Yahoo Real Estate!!! Thanks so much for
organizing the great telecon tonight, very productive, very worthwhile,
and very educational. Thanks again, all greatly appreciated.
…I’ve “quietly” decided to open up my “BreakingGroundsLive”
webinar video site which has been closed to new members since
Dec. to give you the opportunity to learn more (much more).
http://GoodMorningRealEstate.com/live/zillowtrulia/mp3.htm
Call it a shameless plug or just being tuned into to what agents
want, either way my site “BreakingGroundsLive” answers those
bigger questions, by featuring 37+ top experts, like Fran and Sara,
who succinctly shoot it straight.
Like the conference call, they save you the time of traveling to
events across the country and the money you would have spent
on hotels and admission, by just being a few “mouse clicks”
away.
This service is not for everyone and is not a “magic bullet”, in
fact you should be wary of anyone claiming to have a “magic
bullet”.
That is why I’ve taken the guess work out by offering a 14 day,
$1 dollar pass to see if it’s right for you.
So like a “1-2 punch”, adding the Trulia v. Zillow call plus my
“Breaking Grounds” video site will make sure you come out
swinging!

Enjoy the all this great stuff!
Warmly,
Justin
