It is a shame that our own industry could not protect us from outsiders like Zillow and Trulia. I completely agree.

Then late last year my small company merged in to a larger company, so we had to re-do our accounts with r.com because of the change. My cost was going to stay somewhat level. However, my previous-broker was expected to pay an astronomical amount per month because their system showed he had all these listings in the past year. Yes, he did have boku listings because he was the broker and therefore all of his agents' listings showed on his feed. But now he is just an agent and has, for argument's sake, a quarter of the listings he had before. We pointed this out to the rep at r.com but there was no negotiating, no relief, no concession, no nothing out of r.com to make the situation right. They wanted their full astronomical fee Needless to say, they lost some customers that day. I don't miss the massive stream (not) of leads the site provided at all.

And I hope that nothing I wrote came across as an attack on Trulia. I have no quarrel with anything Trulia has said, done, not done or not said. I was only pointing out that if not for NAR making a HUGE error giving OUR NAME to Homestore (now MOVE)there would be no Trulia. Rudy, I was impressed with you, as well!

Hmmmm...You think they would want to be involved in this conversation telling us how great Realtor.com is and they are always looking out for the best interest of its members.
