There is no denying that Trulia is everywhere. And yes, Trulia is great if you have no website or your website is way down in the Google rankings. This is how will get exposure. It's fantastic for lazy real estate agents. On the other hand, if you have a great website, that you have build up, and are near the tiop of Google, Trulia is a BAD idea. Why? because if you and Trulia are trying to promote the same listing, who so you think will come up on top. When you sign up for Trulia they tell you how they will promote all your listings and your website. Guess what? they do everything possible to keep people from your website. ALL links to your site and listing on your site are blocked on purpose so that Trulia is higher in the Search Engine Rankings. I do understand the exposure of Trulia but for hard working agents who know what it takes to build their own personal website, Trulia is the wrong choice. Guys, think twice about Trulia.

Thanks for the superb review of Trulia Pro. You are spot on. Early adopters will reap some awesome benefits in terms of targeted impressions for their geography. Thus far, I am getting pinged left and right about how cool this is. We're very excited. On top of everything you mentioned, real estate agents get unlimited featured listings that will get them 4-7 times the amount of views. So it's a real double hitter.....
