What’s DeedStreet You Ask?
DeedStreet is real estate in real time. Agents, mortgage pros, investors, and commercial brokers post tweets and ^tag them with their market abbreviation similar to StockTwits. Having said that, my first impression of DeedStreet versus StockTwits is that DeedStreet wins hands down in user appeal and functionality. Obuweb, having crafted such notable brand websites as GeekSquad and page.ly seem on first impression to have struck another home run with another beautiful design.
Why DeedStreet?
Doug Lazovick, Founder of DeedStreet pointed out in our discussion that consumers using social media appear to be desensitized to the online marketing efforts of agents and believes that a catalog of key tweets by market and subject in a central location that are indexable, give answers to seeking home buyers, sellers, investors and the like when they want it with your tweet as the result.
Other notables are that DeedStreet intends on getting the actual results right by using Twitter, before rolling into other new media spaces. Doug points out that as DeedStreet’s reach broadens, the ability to exploit results will broaden as well and they are meeting this challenge head on. DeedStreet will then open the door to obvious targets in social media such as Facebook and others, with a distant eye on property listings to round out the conversation in real estate.
Tags?
Currently you can tag comments as ^REO, ^CRE, ^MTG, ^RENT, ^LSTG, and a second tag (^AUS for Austin) to narrow it locally. DeedStreet will grab your tags and your business related tweets and catalog them for crawl or direct search on DeedStreet- pretty simple really.

Benn – I spent quite a bit of time talking to Doug at #bwe09 and I found him to be eager to not only take this idea to great heights, but also wiling to listen to input from the agents themselves. Jay Thompson and I both gave him our thoughts as did many others and I saw in him a great listener and thinker.
I for one will begin tagging some of my stuff to head over to Deed St. to see how it all works. I definitely think this is a project that could turn out well – not just because of the subject matter, but because of the company’s willingness to listen to those that will be using it.
I met Doug and one of the developers of DeedStreet at a Phoenix TweetUp a few weeks ago and was immediately intrigued. As you say Benn, I think they’ve hit a home run.
In addition to the type and location ^ tags, you can also tag “generic” real estate Tweets with a ^^ (double caret)
I’ll have to check out DeedStreet. We’ve heard about it but never really looked into it until reading your post. Definitely worth a look, thanks for the information.
