Are you using Trulia to generate business ?


Using Trulia.com to generate more business


When we first started blogging on Active Rain, we immediately saw the importance of having a presence and profile on other sites as well. We learned a lot about this through subscribing to blogs by Bill Gassett and Justin Smith (2 highly recommended blogs to subsribe to) .


One of the sites that we have had success with is Trulia.com . Trulia has become one of the premier consumer sites - it has a wealth of information for consumers and it also provides tremendous resources for realtors too such as setting up a profile, adding listings, having a blog and much much more. There is also a lot of info regarding statistics and analytics. If you have not checked it out, do so !


In any event, as an example, we just picked up a listing in our area due to our answering consumer's questions on Trulia voices. Trulia voices has an extensive network of questions from consumers and answers from real estate pros. It was on this forum that a seller contacted us to list her property in Port Richmond. She was looking for something specific in an agent and found it in The Somers Team ! Not only that, we sold her property for her in less than 45 days !
In addition, we have also received several leads from Trulia due to our presence on their site. With that in mind, we of course will continue to post blog entries there (see our Trulia blog ) as well as answering questions ! It looks like we have answered 311 questions ! Wow - I guess we have a lot of answers !!!

If you are interested in buying or selling real estate in the Philadelphia area, contact Chris and Stephanie Somers at 215-400-2612 or thesomersteam@yahoo.com .
