PropertyShark, a regional property informational site, and Trulia, a regional real estate search engine, are going to be sharing resources in response to the arrival of Zillow this past week. Zillow has the early lead in the online real estate information marketplace as they have a significantly stronger investment and infrastructure, even with accuracy issues during their beta launch.
PropertyShark and Trulia are looking to regain their first mover advantage by combining their data resources to provide more accurate data to the marketplace. Their press release on the pooling of resources explains the reasoning.
PropertyShark.com, a leading data analytical tool for property search and Trulia, a real estate listings metasearch service based in San Francisco, announced their partnership today.
“We have a bilateral cross linking relationship which allows Trulia to enhance its search results with PropertyShark data, helping to make it a better service for home researchers. In return, we use Trulia search results in PropertyShark reports, giving our users a good sense of what nearby properties are for sale. We also jointly promote each other,” comments chief executive officer of PropertyShark.com, Ryan Slack.
Trulia’s co-founder, Pete Flint adds, “The Internet real estate researcher is hungry for the most comprehensive and accurate information. With this integrated partnership, we can offer consumers a more informed search experience while supporting the sales process for brokers and agents.”
PropertyShark founder, Matthew Haines, further explains, “As the real-estate data market heats up, with lavishly-funded start-ups like Zillow joining the fray, it is essential that focused players like Trulia and PropertyShark partner to provide consumers and professionals with a soup-to-nuts offering of sales, leads, and property data and tools.””
